Police Search for Girl, 13; Parents Fear Kidnap Plot left Home for Bluffs Sunday With Youth Employed by ' Her Father on Da kota Farm. Police of Omaha and Council Bluffs were still combing the two cities last night In a search for Helen Schmitz, 13-year-old Omaha school girl, who has dropped out of sight since she left her home Sunday afternoon to drive to Council Bluffs with Fred Lynch, 23, a farm worker of Huron, S. D. Parenti of the girl believe she has been kidnaped. Ed Burke, alias Ed Beyhtel, 23, a fugitive from justice, who was employed on ths Schmitz farm at Huron, S. D., last summer. Is being sought in the case. Burke escaped from officers who arrested him on the Schmitz farm and were returning him to Guthrie Center, la., to serve a 10-year term. Police believe Lynch may have con spired with Burke. In Borrowed Auto. Lynch and the girl left the girl's home at 3019 Leavenworth street Sun day afternoon in n car belonging to •T. W. Schmitz, the girl's father. Lynch had asked to borrow the car to visit friends In Council Bluffs, and the glr! had asked to accompany him for the ride. They have not been seen since. Lynch did not give the name of the friends he intended to visit, but police believe he may have intended to see Burke, who is still at large. Lynch is employed by Schmitz on the latter's faint near Huron, S. II., and drove to Omaha with Schmitz Saturday afternoon. Schmitz came tc Omaha to visit his wife and daughter, who have been in Omaha for several months. Schmitz planned to move to Omaha later. Paid Ardent Court. According to Schmitz, Burke paid ardent court to the young girl while he was employed on the farm last summer. Burke was arrested in September by officers from Guth rie 'Center, la., who said that he had escaped from custody there after he had been sentenced to serve 10 years fn the penitentiary. Schmitz does not know the charge on which he was sentenced. Burke escaped from the officers for a second time while they were on their way with him to Guthrie Center. According to Schmitz, Burke and Lynch appeared to be close friends while they were working together on the farm, and he believes that they may have been associates before they entered his employment. Police are now checking up the record* of both men. The girl's mother told police that ■he did not believe that the girl held any affection for Burke, and declared that she was sure the girl would not elope with either of the missing men. The mother was prostrated by anxiety Monday. According to her parent*, the 13 year-old girl has the appearance of a girl 19 or 20 years old. REBEL BATTLESHIP REACHES URUGUAY By Associated Press.

BURGESS. tvho rteke hi* life le brae#. indeed, When ’tie to serve another * need —Old Mother Nature. Peter Doesn’t Know What to Do. Peter Rabbit scampered through the Green Forest as fast as his legs would take him. He was In a hurry to reach the pond of Paddy the- Bea ver. He knew that Honker the Goose and hie flock were there, and he wanted to be among the first to hear the nows from the Far North. But he didn't allow his eagerness to over come caution. Reddy Fox was some where there, for Peter had seen him leave the Old Pasture end knew that Reddy would go straight to Taddy's Pond. So as Peter drew near the pond he moved very carefully. Every few hops he sat up to look and listen. He didn't intend to run right Into the mouth of Reddy Fox If he could help it. At last he reached the edge of Honker and his flock were there. Just a* Peter had known they would he. Paddy's Pond, and from th» shelter of a clump of fern* could peep out. Honker and his flock were there, Just as Peter had known they would be. My, how big and handsome they lpoked! They were tn the middle of the pond talking In low voices and dressing their feather*. Paddy the Beaver and Mr*. Paddy were swim ming near them. How Peter did wish that h* could swim. A* It was, he would hava to wait until Honker came closa to shore. The trouble was he didn't know where Honker would come closa to shore. It might not be near his hiding place at all. So Peter kept still snd waited and waited and listened to the gabbling of the Geese and watched the Black Shadows l>egin to creep out arroas the pond, and wished that he dare show himself and let Honker know that he was there. But h» must first find out where Reddy Fox was. Suddenly Peter'* heart *eern»d to Jump right up In his throat. He had seen something move only a very little way from him. He held his breath and watrhed. Then his worst fears were realized; he saw Reddy Fox creep out. from under a h»m lock tree, keeping himself fla,t lo the ground. Inch by Inch lie crawled until he reached an old log on the very edge of the water. Behind this old log he laid down. The old log waa already in the Black Shadows. Peter knew that Reddy couldn't be seen from the water. Honker and his flock began to move In toward the shore very slow ly. They were moving 1n toward the very place where Reddy was hid ing. Peter didn't know what to do. He wanted to warn them that there was danger there, but he didn't dare do it. Reddy Pox was too nesr. If he thumped a warning, as he wanted to do, Reddy would be almost sure to catch liltn. Honker and the members of his flock, most of whom were his chil dren, were not careless. As they drew near the shore their long necks were stretched high and they studied with sharp eyes every foot of the shore. They moved slowly. Some of them were anxious to go ashore, but Honker would not allow this un‘11 he felt certain that there was no danger. At last Honker gave a low signal and began to smooth out the feath ers of his back with his bill. The long necks of the others were no longer held stiffly erect. Some of the flock began to do Just what Honk er was doing. Several headed straight for the shore. One of these. Peter saw. would come out of the water right In front of that old log behind which Reddy Fox was hiding. Peter fairly ached to give warning, but he didn't dare. He simply didn't know what to do.

Treasury Plans Slash in Taxes; Income Growing MHIon to Deal With Situation in Pccomhrr Report; Will Accelerate Trade. By ROBERT S. THORNBURGH. Internattnnsl N>w* Service Staff Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 10.—The United States treasury tag reform program, shaping into definite form today, indi cated (hat it may l>e possible to slash more than $10(1,000,000 off government (al income for Ifilfi and yet maintain a few million dollars' surplus. Offi cials said that would make possible a material cut in taxation. The real drive for tax revision is anticipated at the initial session of the Sixty-ninth congress. Secretary nt the Treasury Mellon, in his annual report to the December congress, how-1 ever, will deal with the tax situation, making similar recommendations to those partially disregarded at the last session. figures compiled at the Treasury department show that the 1924 reve nue art cut government income $470, 000,(tno this ralendar year; $151,000,000 resulted from income tax cuts. Income Will Increase. In 1925 the government’s income will Increase about $150,000,000 over 1924, under the present tax act, ac cording to estimates. Secretary Mel lon pointed out, that "a decrease of taxes causes an inspiration to trade and commerce which increases the prosperity of the country so that the revenue of the government even on a lower basis of tax is Increased." Treasury experts said that the schedules of the 1924 act pertaining to low incomes and those of the Mel lon plan regarding surtaxes, may be reenacted into law with reducing revenue over $100,000,000 the first year. Thereafter a material Increase in revenue might be expected, they maintained. "Every tax reduction since 1918 has resutted eventually in Increased revenue,” an official declared. Current Securities Unaffected. In the last annual report of Secre tary Mellon which he has declared he will reiterate next month to congress the secretary said that 'a reduction in the income tax reduces expenses not only of the 7,000,000 Income tax payers, but of the entire 110,000,000 people in the United States." Mellon is understood to still favor a consti tutional amendment removing tax exempt features of municipal bonds. He said it would bring about a desira ble readjustment of the relation be tween states and the nation. Such an amendment would not af fect the $13,000,000,000 now Invested in tax-exempt securities. Officials said that a continuation of the policy of high surtaxes ultimate ly will compel the government to re sort to higher taxes on small incomes to make up the loss it will sustain on higher incomes because of the avoid ance of taxes through the channel of tax exempt securities. “JACKIE” WANTS TO BE MECHANIC New- York, Nov, 10.—Jackie Coogan wants to be a mechanic when be grows up. .
