The Kings County Board of Estimate

short one preparations were made for
the application of the pruning knife
to the amounts asked for by some of
the departments, which may cost a num-
Der of employees their positions and
curtail the incomes of officials who re-
ceive compensation in fees. The most
important official paid by fees is Sheriff
Buttling who asks for 1916, 900 for his
expenses for the payment of employees
and keeping Of prisoners at Raymond
Street Jail.
Buttling, in his estimate, has Jumped
the whole sum. He will be called be-
fore the Board and asked to explain in
detail how the money is to be ex-
pended.
In taking up the matter of the fees
paid to county constables. the Board
was amazed at the amount of money
drawn by some of these officials for their
services.
Jameson, now in the penitentiary, re-
ceived 5000 for six months services

he had made Inquiries about the item
and could only find three assistants to
the Clerk. The Secretary was directed
to notify Chief Clerk Girard Stevens to

WEIRD HUNT FOR $1,000, 900.
de Will Live With Corpse for
Year.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Feb. IA
CHASTITY scheme to get 81 100000 is
about TO be undertaken by w. K.
Hartman, South Coventry township.
The plan, in brief, is to live with a
dead man for a year.
Mr.. Hartman came 10 town yester-
day. He had in his possession an
article recently printed in Reading
newspaper. This article was letter
from Paris, stating that year ago a
Frenchman died, leaving an estate
worth 81 100000. His will is remark
able. 1t directed that his body should
be placed in a handsome vault, built
especially for it.
The entire remaining fortune was
to go to any person who would live
continuously in the crypt with the
coffin for one year. He shall never
go out of the room, except that he
may be permitted to walk about from
sunrise until o'clock on summer
mornings, and from sunrise until S
O'Clock on winter mornings.
The lonely sojourner shall have no
books or newspapers. His food shall
be brought to him at nighttime by a
masked servant, who will not be per-
mitted to speak a word with the tomb
dweller. He shall not be permitted
to do any work.
Many persons, it appears, have at
tempted TO get the fortune. One went
crazy, and the others, overcome by
the horrible loneliness, have given up
the task in despair. The trustees of
the estate have charge of the money.
Mr.. Hartman, when here yesterday,
secured a letter of introduction to
Congressman John b. Robinson. He
expects through the Congressman to
meet the French Minister at Wash
ington, where he will go at once.
Armed with letter from the French
he will sail for Paris to
make a determine effort to capture
that 81 900, 900.

LOGGED HIS MEMORY.
NEUIANN FORGOT TO PAY HIS
REVENUE TAX.
Hauled Up by Federal authorities
Clear Case of Forget and He
May Be Let Off Easy.

c. Neumann. the popular restaurant
man ON Wabasha street, is. SO much
taken up with getting up appetizing
morsels for his customers that he doesn't
think how the months slip by. He for
got that he has to pay S25 annually 10
the United States as special tax for
dispensing liquid refreshments. Not
having renewed his privilege from the
government a deputy marshal invaded
his restaurant yesterday and served
upon him All information prepared by
the United States district attorney,
which cited him to appear before
United States commissioner and show
cause, why he should not give bail for
his appearance before the federal court
o answer a charge of selling liquors
without having paid the customary S25
as special tax Mr.. Neumann thought it
was joke. and said he could not under
stand when the deputy marshal told
him that he was under arrest. But
finally he remembered and understood
the situation. He offered to pay the
fine and costs at once, and went to the
commissioners Office to see what could
be done. The commissioner and the
district attorney had begun the pro-
ceedings. however, and there was no
way out of it but give bond for his APP
pearance at the January term of the
federal court in the penalty of $500.
This was given after it had been ex-
planned that the penalty is not less than
s100 fine, and notices. than thirty days
in Jail. Mr.. Neumann doesn't like the
idea of going to Jail, so he will make
application to Hon. Joseph. Miller, the
commissioner of internal revenue at
Washington, for leave TO pay the fine
and costs and petition to be- allowed to
forego the imprisonment.
