4,900,000 Have Revenues of $5000
or Less; 700,000 List In
comes Above $5000. '"
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. More than
5,600,000 firms and Individuals are
paying- income- taxes this year, ac
cording: to figures made public to
night by the bureau of internal rev
enue. These figures also reveal that
practically 3,000,000 taxpayers already
have paid their income taxes In full.
The bureau's statement shows that
4,900,000 persons are paying Income
taxes on incomes of $5000 or less
and that fewer than 600,000 of this
number have not paid their taxes In
full, choosing the method of payment
by installments. Individual returns
for incomes in excess of $5000, includ
ing those of individuals and firms,
numbered 700.000.
Nearly 350,000 corporations have
filed incoros tax returns, but only
65,000 have paid in full.
ROAD WORK TO RESUME
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. (Special.)-.
The senatorial committee will hold
other hearings later on, but every
body here believes that the heart of
whatever is in this republican cam
paign fund scandal is now out. Your
correspondent has been at the hear
ings every day this week and has
scanned or read closely all the 'testi
mony of preceding days.
Based on this, together with
knowledge of the feelings of the of
ficials and newspaper men who have
participated in the hearing, anyone
who approaches it free of partisan
interest must conclude that the re
publicans are exculpated wholly from
Cox's charges in the language in
which he could make them, and are
practically exculpated from every
thing except what is hardly more
serious than a violation of taste.
. Virtue Being Penalized.
The truth is, Will Hays and
whatever other republican officials
were responsible, are being penalized
for what essentially on their part is
an act of virtue, or at the least an
act of prudence. Tha system of both
parties in every presidential cam
paign up to the present has been
for the national chairman or some
other party leader to go to rich men
with his ' hat in his hand and ask
these men to contribute large sums,
$50,000 or $100,000 or even more.
That system was bad. That old
system was subject to charges such
as Cox made, of letting rich men
buy an underhold of the government.
That relation was tainted with the
atmosphere of obligation on the part
of the chairman and expectation of
reward on the part of the contributor,
That relation was close to fitting the
word "sinister."
"Wilson Remembers Gifts.
Both parties have always recog
nized these obligations to big con
tributors. Wilson himself recognized
them, and paid them off with am
bassadorships.
That, I say, was the old system.
This year Will Hays either virtuously
came to the conclusion that the
system was bad, or prudently de
cided that public opinion had become
critical of this method of financing
campaigns. Everybody knows per
fectly well that the republican cam
paign this year could have been
financed with as many millions as
was wanted by this system. Every
body knows that Will Hays could
have gone along the business streets
of New York and Fred Upham along
the business streets of Chicago and
in those two cities alona could have
raised enough money to run the
campaign.
They could have raised it from
50 or 100 men and the very small
ness of the group, coupled with the
bigness of the individual contribu
tion, would have constituted just such
a sinister situation as Cox alleged
about this wholly different situ
ation. To get away from this old
system Will Hays planned an or
ganization for raising his campaign
fund through tens of. thousands of
small contributions without allowing
any one man to contribute more
than $1000.
New System Prevents Hold.
There can be no doubt whatever
that this system is vastly more de
sirable and is designed to prevent
exactly what Cox charged. T,he get
ting of an underhold on the govern
ment by any small group of men is
a mere detail of putting the system

motion picture actress, who suc
cumbed this morning to poison taken,

Montana was the leading state in
the production of silver with an out
put of 15,012,000 ounces worth On the
current market about $16,800,000.
The director placed the loss in pro
duction of gold as compared with the
previous year at $8,313,300, while the

Information Obtained That Mrs.
Gertrude Viger Kuehling Contemplated-
Divorcing Mate.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Failure
to recognize the body of Mrs. Ger
trude Viger Kuehllng and the discov
ery of several circumstances regarded
by the police as worthy of Investiga
tion today converted her husband's
story of drowning while canoeing
with him on the Potomac- river
Wednesday night into one of some
mystery. Royal Harper Kuehling,
the husband, was held by the police
for investigation.
Interest has been added to the case
by the discovery that Mrs. Kuehling.

Osgood of Detroit, and one of the
heirs to the million-dollar estate of

IF SI CANT KNOCK HIM OUT NOTHING CAN.
: : It
i w yi wmzri - s r' rzx i
Interest In the primary campaign
has been largelyj centered about the
race for the republican nomination
for governor. During the last ten
days opposition to renomination of
Wesley L. Jones, United States sen
ator, in the republican primary has
developed in a bitter fight that ap
parently has lined up the soldier vote
solidly behind Colonel William M.
Inglis.
Inglis has an excellent military
record with active service overseas.
Since hia return to civil life he has
been director of the veterans' welfare
commission, established by the 1919
legislature to assist ex-service men in
becoming re-established in civil pur
suits.
War Stand Attacked.
On the other hand. Senator Jones
has been the subject of vicious at
tacks because of his position in the
senate on the question of prepared
ness prior to the entrance of the
United States into the war.
Replying to one of these attacks
the senator in a recent speech made
an unfortunate reference to those who
urged military preparedness. The re
mark drew forth such severe criticsm
that Jones made a public apology.
In pre -cam paign discussions last
winter It was conceded that with!'-.
the republican organization there
was very pronounced anti-Jones
sentiment but it failed to crystal
lize about any particular leader of
senatorial caliber to enter the con
test against the present incumbent.
Senator Jones as the campaign pro
gressed seemed to have aligned the
regular organization in his support
and It is doubted whether any con
siderable portion of it can be 'de
pended upon to lend their support
to the fight being made upon the
senator at this time by the Inglis
contingent, as many of those who do
not favor Jones question whether
Colonel Inglis' experience and train
ing has been such as to give him
the qualifications desirable in a sen
ator of the United states.
Soldier Vote Not Enough.
The soldier vote aione is not suffi
cient to nominate Inglis, and unless
he la able to swing the anti-Jones
element of- the organization to his
support his chance of being nomi
nated is not favorable.
Reports from the state, however,
indicate a marked drift away from
Jones, and his friends realize that
the senator is confronted with oppo
sition that must be regarded as for
midable. Political observers unbiased by per
sonal interest In the outcome are
refraining from venturing a forecast
aa to the results of the gubernatorial
contest In the republican primary. It
is probable that this condition will
not be altered by any eleventh-hour
development.
Five of the seven republican candi
dates have shown strength sufficient
to entitle them to be considered as
contenders, with Colonel Roland H.
Hartley of Everett and Governor
Louis F. Hart having apparently a
shade on the other three.
Senator Edward T. Coman of Spo
kane, Senator George B. Lamping of
King and Representative John H.
Gellatley of Wenatchee are all to be
figured in the final result, as no one
has a margin of such proportion that
it cannot be overcome by any material
switch in sentiment or by develop
ment of circumstances to change the
present situation.
Feeling Becomes Bitter.
Closeness oi the contest had tended
to inject into the campaign an ele
ment of bitter feeling and the clos
ing days of the contest have brought
out some personalities in the speeches
of some of the candidates. This fea
ture was emphasized today by the
speech of Senator Coman in Seattle,
in which he sharply criticised Gover
nor Hart.
Coman criticized Hart's attitude as
president of the senate and then took
up what he termed the executive's
pardon record, claiming that Hart had
released from prison a number of
serious offenders. Coman did not
mention names, but he referred to the
alleged offenses. He denied that Gov
ernor Hart was entitled to the credit
for improvement at the boys training
school and concluded by saying:
"Governor Hart stresses the fact he

Machine, While blder Lad
Falls Before Backing Car.
Two fatal automobile accidents
happened within, an hour last night.
The first took place in St. Johns at
the corner of Jersey and Alta streets
at 4:45 o'clock, when 3-year-old Harry
Strombaugh was run over by a truck
driven by J. A. Riley of 302 North
Willamette street. The second was at
Union and Burnside streets at 5:40
when Bennett Chamberlain. 19, 1400

truck driven by Frank Love, 389
Tenth street. Both victims were
killed instantly.
According to Riley's story, he was
driving north on Jersey street and
had turned west on Alta. when the
lad ran out from the curb and into
the side of the truck. After falling
to the pavement the rear wheel of
the loaded truck passed over the boy's
body.
Questioning by Lieutenant Ervln
of the traffic department elicited the
admission that Riley had been ar
rested yesterday earlier in the day
on a charge of cutting corners at j
WtlJiams avenue and Alberta street,
but had been discharged. He was
held under $1000 bail last night pend
ing investigation. The Strombaugh
lad had lived with his grandfather,
Thomas Hunter, 70S North Kellogg
street.
Frank Love, the driver of the truck
which killed Bennett Chamberlain.
said that Chamberlain was his helper
and that after pulling in on the side
of Union avenue the boy had alighted
to signalthe driver in backing up to
another truck. The boy climbed up
on the other truck and gave him the
signal, said Love.
Witnesses declared that the boy
had fallen from the rear truck on his
face on the pavement and before he
could regain his feet the truck had
caught him. Love was held without
bail for investigation.

Bert Hedderley. 32. was shot
through the head and probably
fatally wounded at 9:3 o'clock last
night during a federal raid at Union
avenue and East Oak street. Five
men are said to have fired a volley
into an automobile in which Hedder
ley was trying to escape.
After the shooting George Lewis,
35, and a pretty girl, companion of
the alleged bootleggers, were cap
I tured. Lewis was taken to police
headquarters handcuffed, and held
for the government. The girl was
released.
In the automobile was a 20-gallon
jug of colored water, which the trio
was alleged to have been delivering
to a house on the corner of Union
avenue and East Oak street when
the raiders surprised them. It is said
that Hedderley had announced his
intention of shooting or running
down with his automobile anyone
who attempted to arrest him.
Stqnad Shadows Hooae.
Thfe raiders were posted around the
house where the liquor was to be de
livered. The squad consisted of Pa
trolmen Morris and Jackson, and W.
R. Wood, D. C. Smith and J. J. Big
gins, federal agents. Morris was
posted in the second ertory of the
building with an informant who had
told the authorities of the plan to
deliver liquor at that address.
The squad took post yesterday
afternoon, and waited the rest of the
day for the appearance of the alleged
bootleggers. At 9:30 P. M. an auto
mobile drove up to the house and
topped.
"They're . unloading the booze'."
called the informant to the officers.
Morris ran downstairs, jumped out
side and thrust his revolver against
Lewis' side. Lewis la said to have
been unloading the liquor.
"Stick 'em up'." he ordered.
Hedderley Warned to Stop.
Lewis obeyed. The squad shouted
to Hedderley not to start his machine,
but he stepped oh the accelerator and
the car moved slowly ahead. Morris
fired two shots in the air to warn '
the fugitive. Other members of the
squad ran ahead of the automobile
and called to the driver to stop.
Hedderley gave the machine more
gas, and, as the car gathered head
way, the whole squad fired a volley.
The machine ran half a block down
the street. Then it swerved against
the curbing and stopped. The raiders
surrounded it.
Hedderley had fallen forward on
the steering wheel. His head had
dropped on his shoulder. The raiders
thought he was dead, and telephoned
to police headquarters and asked that
the coroner be notified.
Death Matter of Hoars,
The police surgeon and a deputy
coroner answered the call, but before
either arrived on the scene of the
shooting the raiders had discovered
that Hedderley was still alive and had
rushed him to Good Samaritan hos
pital. Hospital authorities said he
could live only a few hours.
The police say Hedderley has a long
reputation as a bootlegger and that
he once tried to run down Federal
Agent Woods -when the latter at
tempted to stop an automobile loaded
I with liquor on the Salmon creek
I bridge near Vancouver, Wash. He is
also alleged to be the man who es
caped from Tom Word, another fed
eral agent, and to have stolen an auto
mobile to get away.
Hedderley is said to have had in his
pocket a quart of whisky, to which a
rubber tube had been attached. The
police believe he siphoned out the
whisky from the bottle when he of
fered a customer a drink of the col
ored water.
Hedderley is survived by a widow.
He lived at 1014 Hancock street, where
he had a fine home, beautifully furnished.
