Chicago broker held as brains of mail thefts
Chicago broker John W Worthington and partner Cowen C Evans were arrested as the alleged leaders of a mail robbery ring tied to altering Liberty bonds and other securities. Federal officials said the group, blamed for a long string of robberies including a $5.5 million note haul, used forged notes and altered bonds to avoid detection. Indictments against others named in the case were pursued as authorities trace connections to the Central Securities Company and major thefts across several states. Worthington denied the charges in Waukegan calling them baseless.

Treasury plans for tax overhaul outlined by Mellon
Secretary Mellon outlined a broad tax program to House committees, proposing a 10 dollar annual flaw tax on autos and trucks plus various internal levies such as stamps and checks. The plan includes corporate income tax changes, reductions in exemptions, and partial or full repeal of certain internal and transportation taxes while maintaining some existing rates. Officials noted revenue would fall short of 4.6 billion targets, but railroad funding and salvage values were expected to cover needs.
