Mayor Dahlman
Raps Foster for '
Unjust Sentences
Declares Bis Pardons Are
Made Necessary Through
"Unfitness of Police
Judge."
Defending several pardons !ued
' by himaelf. Mayor Dahlman yeiter-
day called Police Judge Foster to
account (or hit criticism ot his.ac
lion with retard to the pardons.
The mayor, in a letter, severely
. leorimanded the police magistrate
, for several utterances made by him
in court Thursday.
"Many of the pardons granted by
me are made necessary on account
's of the unjust- sentences imposed in
i.. ponce court, ne saia.
:x In one case in particular, ques
iitioned by Judge Foster, the mayor
y-characterized the magistrates action
as "vicious."
The mayor states that in the case
of William Markovitr,' sentenced
by Judge Foster several months ago
for vagrancy, the judge did not take
' the trouble to investigate thoroughly
- enough before sentencing the man.
-'' Markovitz was pardoned by the
mayor, following the plea of Attor
i: tiey Winter, South Omaha. Accord-
:,- ing to the mayor, following his par
don, Markovitz returned to the
country, where he had been steadily
; working, until his return to Umaha
' a few days ago when he was again
arrested and sentenced to jail for
. ',30 days on the same vagrancy
1 charge.
"This Is not an Isolated case,", the
.- mayor writes, you have done the
rlsame thing in hundreds of others,
r ' and in my opinion, you are not fit
.-: to sit in a court ot justice.
"Markovitz has respectable par
ents, a sister working in the First
National bank here and another sis
ter is the employe of a local whole
sale house, the mayor states.' Yout
actions, in tha case have humiliated
i and hurt them beyond all telling.'

State Primary Election
-To Be Held July 17 This Year
Lincoln, Dec. 2. (Special.) The
primary election in Nebraska this
year will be held July 17 instead of
the third Tuesday in August, as has
been the custom in the past. This,
the secretary of state says, is due to
the Nonpartian league referendum
petitions against the primary law
passed by the last legislature whic.li
cause the Reynolds law to become
effective. This switches the old party
conventions around so they come
after the primary instead of before.

Interest on Liberty
Bonds Exempt Under
Income Tax Clause
Washington, Dee. 2. Interest on
Liberty bonds held by corporation
is exempt from the corporation in
come tax of the new revenue Uw
under a formal ruling issued tonight
by the internal revenue bureau.
"L'nder the revenue act of 1918.
the ruling said, "interest on Liberty
bonds held bv corporations was ex
empt from the corporation income
tax and such interest i also exempt
from the corporation income tax un
der the revenue art of Y)l. Liberty
bond interests, however, when dis
tributed in the form of dividends,
ttmaiii Kuhjcct to surtaxes in the
hands - of the stockholders in the
ame manner as were dividends.
There appi-ars to be no reason to ex
pect that the new law will give any
encouragement to the use of cor
porations to own Liberty bonds for
avoiding surtaxes, but if any such
attempt should be made the law
provides ample means for dealing
with it."
