MR. WALKER OF NEW YORK
OWES NO MORE INCOME TAX
CHANCE TO IIETTJEN
United ■ Tress Association —By Electric Tclcgropli—Copyright. (Received August 2D, 9 a.m.) WASHINGTON, August 27. In a routine sixty-word' statement the Department ■of Justice today helped to clear the way for the return of the ex-Mayor of New York, Mr. James J< Walker, from exile, and it seems likely that it will finally close a lurid incident in New York's notoriously bright municipal history. The department ruled that Mr. Walker owes no more income tax, and declared that it would not prosecute the ex-Mayor, who went to live in seclusion in the English countryside following the sensational Seabury investigation, which resulted in his resignation. Charges of income tax evasion had been made, but the department's announcement that an exhaustive study of the evidence indicated that there could b2 no criminal prosecution brought a dry and unexciting conclusion to an investigation that carried with it at one time some of the most exciting, developments in the his- ' 1 tory of New York.
