GIANT TAX FRAUD
REVEALED BY U. S.
Attempts of War Contrac
tors to Evade $17,000,000
Profits Levy Exposed
MADE IMPROPER RETURNS
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.
A $17,000,000 munitions tax fraud has
been uncovered by the Treasury .Depart
ment. Attempts of war contractors to evade piv
ment of tho 12'i per rent tax on their
prollts have been revealed by Investigations
of the Internal Itevenue Bureau, whleh have
been In progress for some months.
The bureau announced today tint $10,
noo.OOO of the fraudulently withheld tax al
ready has been recovered through pursuit
of a compromise policy, and that the Gov
ernment Is determined to recover every
cent of the renminbis unpaid tax.
The schemo reRortcd to by tho munition
makers depended principally on Improper
returns of taxable woperty and Income It
is nidged by tho Internal Ilevemie Bureau
that the big war contract plants charged off
to depreciation vast sums which should
have been returned for the calculation of
tax. It Is stated that In homo cases the
munition men charged oft the entire cost
ot huge plants especially erected to turn
out munitions They defended this practice
on the ground that the plants would be use
less for any other purpose, but the Govern
ment takes the position that such a method
of evading payment of taxis Is fraudulent.
No policy has yet been ndopted as to
prosecution ot the Individuals sullty ot the
gigantic tax fraud, as the treasury has
been bent on recovering the taxes due. Vhon
the money Is In hand action will be taken
.H1, roi-nril lo Hie nillllMllllieill Ul nil- muni
tion makers who perpetrated the fraud.
It Is staled.
Discovery of the extensive fraud has led
to rigid checking up of tho returns of war
contractors In all lines. Utmost caution
will be observed by tho Internal revenue
ofllclals and agents In collecting tho war
excess profits taxes under the newly enacted
revenue law.

HOSEMEN'S JOB ATTRACTS
SMALLEST CLASS IN YEARS
Only 131 Men Turn Up for Civil Service
Tests Many Vncancies in
City's Force
Small salary advances made to hosemen
nf the liureau of Fire today failed to prove
any Inducement to place seekers, as a total
of only 131 men turned up to take the
civil service tests.
The municipal Hre-flghtlng foice has been
badly depleted by reason of many hosemen
quitting to accept more lucrative places
with prlvnte concerns or to enter the Fed
eral service. Scores of places must quickly
be filled and tho dumber of applicants who
today took the examination proved very
disappointing. Tests for hosemen have, in
recent years, attracted classes of from 250
to 400 men, and today's class creates a new
low record.
