EUTTEE FREED ON
FCEGERY CHARGE
Lincoln Nov. 6. The trial of
; Charles Hutter of Omaha, former
sheriff cf Sarpy county, charged with
forging the name of his brother. Mar-
cus Hutter. to a bond ended abruptly
(Thursday in federal court when the
I prosecution failed to show that Hut
ter swore to the justification of a
bond for Estel P. Butler, Nebraska
City man. W. W. Towle of Lincoln,
who arranged for th furnishing of
the bond, testified that Hutter had
said that "Warden Fenton could ver
ify .his financial worth, but he was
un able to remember whether he
swore to the statement. District
Judge Munger thereupon directed a
verdict for the former sheriff. The
Incident dates back over four years,
the bond having been given after
Butler was arrested on a conspiracy
! charge.
;CCEN SUPPLY ADEQUATE
FOE A FAIR CARRY OVER
j Lincoln, Keb., Nov. 4. Corn sup
plies appear adequate with a .fair
carryover and normal production
.this year. Professor Harold Hedges
of the University of Nebraska agri-
cultural college department of rural
economics said.
With the supply of hogs low and
the movement of cattle to the feed
ing will likely come in the late
v-inter or spring.
"There are certain seasonal trends
in the corn market that demand
consideration," he said. "We nor
mally expect a downv.rrd trend in
corn prices in the fall and early
v-inler months when The marketing
(ot the new corn crop ie heaviest."
! Jle warned that this downward
j trend was not always in evidence
iar.d toted the necessity of being on
.the lookout for the unusual. Rased
on the Omaha market price for No.
j3 mixed corn, there has been a de
cided downward trend from August
to February for the last twenty
years.

Million Incomes
Tax Free in New
Revenue Scheme
Mellon Surtax Figure is Accepted by
Ways and Means Body $3,500
Family Head Exempted.
Washington, Nov. 6. Removal of
more than 1,000,000 individuals
from the federal income tax roll by
increasing exemptions and wide
spread reductions in these lecies was
voted Thursday by the house ways
and means committee as the first ac
tual step in its preparation of a new
revenue bill. The income tax exem
ption figures agreed upon were
$1,500 for single persons and $3,500
for heads of families, compared with
11,000 and $2,500. respectively, in
the present law.
Other change decided upon in
cluded: Reduction of the maximum sur
tax rate from 40 to 20 per cent; re
duction of the normal rates from 2
to 1 on the first $1,000 of tax
able income; from 4 to 3 on the
next $4,000 and from 6 to 6 on
the remainder.
Revenues Sliced
Increase in the age limit for the
$400 exemption allowance for de
pendents from 18 to 21 years In cases
where children are in school.
Retention of the present 25 per
cent reduction in the tax when ap
plied to earned incomes of $10,000
of less, also when decided upon by
the committee.
This first day of tax cutting by
the committee was estimated to have
taken more than $200,000,000 off the
government's annual revenues, sub
ject, of course, to the approval of
congress, and was more extensive
than the reduction program advanc
ed by Secretary Mellon because of
the increased exemptions.
llellon Flan Accepted
The 20 per cent surtax maximum,
however, was in figure suggested by
the secretary, and the committee's
normal rates followed in the main
the treasury program, which provid
ed for a gross reduction of $300,000,
000 and allotted $140,000,000 of
this to the income rates.
Early In its deliberations Thurs
day, the committee, after consulting
Director Lord of the budget, on
probable reductions in the govern
ment's expenditures. decided to
adopt the $300,000,000 figure as the
approximate limit o? its reductions.
and with more than $200,000,000
of thrs accounted for in the income
tax revisions, and many proposals
pending for reduction of the excise
taxes, it appeared unlikely that the
committee would favor the treasury
proposal for repeal of the inherit
ance levy, which yields $10,000,000
annually. Some modification in this
tax Is expected.
Germany will
Wait Upon the
Allies' Move
Will Not Present Treaties of Loc
arno to Reichstag at
Once
Berlin. Nov. 3. Treaties of Loc
arno will not be submitted to the
reichstag for ratification until the
promises and concessions of the al
lies pledged to Chancellor Luther and
Dr. Stressemann are carried out.
This was decided on today at a con
ference of the government and the
leaders of the reichstag parties
which are present cabinet.
The decision is merely a re
affirmation of the government's
previously announced attitude that
it does not propose to demand in
dorsement of its committments at
Locarno from any party until it is
able to adduc proofs of the allies'
intention to carry out certain de
mands affecting the occupation and
administration of the Rhineland
and evacuation of Cologne. This
conference was the first step taken
by the chancellor to clarify the
parliamentary situation prepara
tory to forming a new party lineup
before appealing to the reichstag
for ratification of the various
treaties.
The chancellor informed the party
leaders' that the government is
carrying on uninterrupted conver
sations with the allied governments
on questions affecting Germany's de
mands, and that the negotions are
progressing satisfactorily. Upon
their definite conclusion will depend
whether the reichstag will be convok.
