INCOME TAX DELINouENTs.

Fully 10 Per Cent. OF the People Failed
to Make Their Returns.
Commissioner Miller Gent the following
instructions yesterday to all internal rev.
enue collectors:
''In cases of incorrect income tax re-
turns now filed in your office, you will
notify the persons who filed such returns
that they must appear within a reason
able time, specifying tse date and place
for appearance, and correct or explain said
return, and that on their failure to ap-
pear and make such corrections, you will
correct and increase the amount of such
returns, stating the particular corrections
which shall be made and the amounts by
which said returns VIII be increased.
Where persons and corporations liza
able to make return have neglected or re-
fused to make return, and where in your
opinion false or fraudulent returns have
been filed, you will give notice on Form
369 to the delinquents and to those who
made such false or fraudulent returns,
to appear and show cause why penalties
shall not be assessed against them. :.
All returns made by taxpayers for 1894,
except such as are delayed by reason OF
appeals, must be completed and forw arded
to this office not later than the 18th day
of May, next"
Although no official statement of the
facts will be given out for publication, it
is believed that the returns received yes
terday show almost conclusively that a
large number of persons in all parts of the
country who are subject to the income tax
have not made returns of their incomes
The proportion of these to the whole
number liable to the tax is by some placed
as high as 10 per cent. This state OF
things is something of surprise to the Of
ficials, although it was expected that the
division of the Supreme Court on the con-
stitutionaIity of the tax as whole would
have the effect of discrediting it with a
large number OF taxpayers, who would
take the risk of paying a so per cent.
penalty rather than make their returns.
This assumption has been proven to
have been correct. and the result must nee
essarily be an assessment of the penalty
i'll large number CT cases, as the officials
no doubt, will strictly enforce the act SO
long as it remains the law of the land.
No figure Of any value as to returns can
be had before to-day

PROTEST OF THE RESIDENTS.

Commissioners Asked to Rid Eleventh
Street OF "A Belt Line Nuisance.
The residents of Eleventh street between
P and o streets northwest have entered a
vigorous protest against what they claim
to be an unwarrantable and unlawful
nuisance, perpetratedupon them by ytheman-
agement of the Belt Line. A petition to
the District Commissioners setting forth
their grievances has been presented.
ii The immediate cause of complaint is
against the s'so-called Belt Line as
they style the company, stabliDg large
number OF their horses on o street near
Eleventh from early morning until mid
night, much to- the annoyance, inconven-
ience and disgust of residents of that
vicinity.
This change of horses, the residents
claim. should be made at the company's
stables, and Boundary streets.
Another source of complaint is that
patron can not make complete circuit
of the road for a single fare. For,
since the termini have been located at
Eleventh and o and Eleventh and E
streets northwest. it is impossible for
person to board a car going west at any
point between First and Eleventh and
make the circuit for one fare. To do so the
passenger would have to pass two transfer
stations, which he could rot do without
paying an additional fare.
The petition. which was signed by more
than twenty-five of the residents in that
locality, was filed with the Commissioners
on Thursday last, but as yet the peti-
TONERS have received no official reply.
