HEAR AIKEN ‘
IN BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDINGS

Tells of Sale of Furni-
ture Store and About
Notes at Bank

A hearing was held before Referee
in Bankruptcy John Keogh in the
downtown city court room Saturday
afternoon in the case of Raymond
Aiken.

Raymond Aiken was the first wit-
ness to take the stand. He stated
that the furniture business was un-
der the managership of his brother.
Frank Aiken. and that all he did was
to sign the checks. He stated that
when they sold the store in \Vall
street. they asked their creditors for
a little time in which to pay off their
bills and that they would pay 100
cents on the dollar. but the creditors
filed a petition to declare him bank-
rupt. He figured his assets at about;
86.000 and liabilities at about 31:.-
000. at the time the business was
sold. This was stated in answerto
a. question from Attorney A. D.
Slavatsky. as to whether Mr. Aiken
was solvent at the time of the file
of the business. He figured out-
standing blils of 82,000 in the assets.

Frank Aiken. tho manger and
brother of the owner. was the next
witness. He stated that his brother
had two notes-due the Central Trust
company, one for $7,500 and one for
$2,500. At the time of the sale the
larger note had been' reduced tot
36.000 and the other note to $2,300.
\Vhen the Central Trust company
demanded payment of the notes. Mr.
Aiken said that his brother borrow-
ed 83.500 from the Norwalk Savings
Society and with the money taken
in as the result of the furniture sale
conducted by him, paid the notes off.
He stated that Mrs. Ella. Aiken and
Ada M. Lockwood were the maker
of all of notes.

Frank Aiken said that the furni-
ture business was sold out to H. L.
Lsndsman and Son and that the price
agreed upon was $2,000 for the good
will and cost price plus 10 per cent.
on the furniture in stock. which aft-
er the sale conducted by Mr. Aiken
amounted to about $360. The $2,-
000 is still held by Mr. Landsman.
as an attachment has been placed
upon it and $450 is held by Samuel
Kantor. which is due Mr. A‘iken as
a refund on meney paid for rent.
This money has also been attached.

While Mr. Nathan Landsman was
on the stand. Benjamin Gliman.
temporary receiver form Bridgeport.
made personal demand upon him for
the $2,000 and asked that it be turn-
ed over to him as receiver. Mr.
Landsman stated that it. would have
to consult with his attorneys regard-
ing the matter.

Attorney Leo Davis. counsel for

Mr. Aiken stated that the books of
the business were open for inspec~
tion at any time and that they would
be turned over to the receiver upon
order of Referee Keogh. Mr. Aiken
resented the fact that an item had
appeared in a loca‘l newspaper. stat-
ing that he had refused inspection
of the books. He stated that no re-
quest had been‘ made upon him for
an examination and that he was will-
ing that they should be gone over
at any time.
Attorney A. D. Slsi'atsky repre-
sented Mr. Gilman the receiver in
the case. A further hearing on the
matter will be held at a later date
before Referee Keogh.

REGINA KOHN TO
(AVE CONCERT

 

 

Roumanian whose Vio-
lin Really Passed her

to be Heard Friday

Regina We violinist. who will
appear .in the grand concert to be
given in Klslr‘s hall Friday night
it 8: 00 o'clock. literally made her
violin talk her way into the United
States.

Miss Kohn who is a native of

Roumania. arrived at Ellis Island af—
ter the quota from that country had
been filled. Her only. relative in
New York was her brothr. a Second
avenue barber.
It looked like a sad holiday sea-
son for Regina Kohn, mute and un-
known. But there was Regina
Kohn's violin. It was able to do for
her what a press agent and publi-
city and power might not have been
able to do. Her zoo-year-old violin
could talk.

The outcome of the whole story
is that Regina Kohn. after playing
as she says. before "the Jury and
judge" at Ellis Island. bras pro-
nounced in the artist rather than
the immigrant class. and admitted
to this country. ’

\thn Regina Kobn was but eight
years old she took up the study of
the violin. \Vhen she was twice
eight, her rare gift had been recog-
nized in the Roumanla city where
she lived with her parents. Dreams
were gay in the slxteen-year-old Re-
gina's.curly black head. .

But when Regina Kohn again was
twice older—when she was 32—
dreams were gray rather than gay.
There were ageing parents that she
must support by dreary, daily mu-
sic lessons. Hope was plucking all
the coverlet and soon that dying
hope wquld be dead. ‘ .
Then came to ‘her a letter from
her brother in New York. the bar-
ber of Second avenue. She ~must

. come tb America. She followed his co
instructions and came. Neither she of

nor her brother had foreseen what
might happen to her at the very
gate of the new rold. ‘

But the ancient violin which had
won fame‘ for many another in the
long ago and far away foresaw and
forest'alled tragsdy.

Besides Miss Kohn. Mlcl Lam-
précht. concert pianist. Lilies Field.
acrobat. dancer and singer. and Gas-
par Ssanto opera singer. will appear
in the gpnd concert Frdiay night.

.-lN TBEHOUSE

Ways and Means Com-

mittee Differ Widely
on Income and Sur-
tax Rates

_ LONG DEBATE _
Will be Month Before

 

Reached —- S In all
Taxpayer Safe

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.—Four re-
ports on the new revenue bill. dif-
fering widely on the question of in-
come and surlax rates. were reported
to the House today by members of
the Ways and Means committee.

The measure which occupied
'more than two months f the com-
mittee's time, is expected to provide
at least a month's debate in the
House where a change in the rules
will permit its amendment from the
floor.

Chairman Green. in submitting the
committee report. which was adopt-
ed by a. strict party vote in the com-
mittee, although three of the Repub-
licans. including Mr. Green. are
known to favor its amendment. de-
clares the income tax reductions pro.
vided for in the bill as submitted
will bring an annual saving to the
taxpayers estimatedat $341,440.000
after it is in full Operation. as com-
pared with the estimated 1923 in-
come returns together with an esti-
mated reductlon of $232,750,000 in
1923 personal income taxes payable
this year. ‘

The reduction in estimated reven-
‘ ue will be distributed as follows:
Normal tax. $91,600,000; surtaxee.
$101,800,000; earned income 339,-
600,000 and miscellaneous or war
excise taxes. many of which were re-
pealed. $108,010,000. This will be
offset by increases resulting from
limitations put upon capital losses
and certain deductions limited to
tax free income. which it is estimat-
ed will bring in $49,500,000 addi-
tional revenue annually.

The normal tax on the first $5,000
of taxable income is reduced from
four per cent. to three per cent. and
upon the remainder of the taxable
income from 8 1b 8 per cent: The
initial mrtax rate of one per cent is
made to apply it $10,000 instead of
86.000 and.” increased gradually to
25 per cent. in incomes of $100,000
and over.

Mr. Green said “the bill gives ma-
terial relief to all income taxpayers
and the amount of reductions and
consequent loss to the treasury is
larger in the lower brackets than in
the higher. though the percentage of
reduction. of cour‘ser‘ls. much larger
in the higher brackets than in the
lower."
