COLLISIONS AT SEA.
The Proposed International Agree
mcnt and England's Attitude.

The Vice President has received COM
gal, Sweden. Spain and Russia have prom
municatIon from the Secretary Of State In
response to q Senate resolution concerning
the International agreement to prevent col
lisions at sea. The Secretary states that
France, Germany, the Netherlands. Portu-
ised to promulgate the regulations, and
japan has already promulgated them.
Great Britain, Austria and Italy express
a desire to postpone action until a later
day. 1t appears from the correspondence
transmitted that Great Britain at first fell
ir with the plan for an international un-
derstanGing. but that on October 10 last
Secretary Gresham was Informed that the
Earl of Kimberly had reached the conclu-
sion that as all the maritime powers had
ne. signifed their acceptance of the agree
ment IL had been found impossible to put
them into effect on March 1,ls9J, as agreed
upor. This led to mere or less diplomatic
epresertation, closing with recommenda-
tior by Ambassador Bayard. Of January 81,
that Joint resolution be adopted by Con-
Sress authorizing the President to tempor-
arily make his first proclamation. Mr..
Bayard thinks that the British government
will Immediately accept the agreement.
The correspondence shows that Austria
and Italy acted in accord with Great Bri-
tain in asking for a postponement of the
date Of putting the agreement into effect.

Court of Appeals Afirms Judge Hagner's
Opinion.
Injunction Refused and the Case Ap-
peaIed to the Supreme Court
The Opinion.

The Court of Appeals today disposed OF
the case of John q. Moore against the COM
missioner of internal revenue. by affirming
the judgment of the court below, Judge
Hagner. The case was argued yesterday,
on the appeal from Judge Hagner's decision
of last month"; refusing the complainant an
Injunction to restrain the Commissioner
from proceeding to collect the income tax
Counsel for Mr.. Moore at once noted an ap-
peal to the United States Supreme Court
and 1t is expected by them that the appeal
will be considered there next month.
The opinion of the court was written py
Mr.. Chief Justice Alvey, and Is as follows:
This case has been brought into this
court. on it's way to the Supreme Court or
the United States, as We have been in
fC rmed, with request by counsel that II
should have an early hearing, and We ac-
Cordingly advanced the case on the calen-
dar, and have heard argument, In order
that IL nay reach the court OF last resort
in time to be heard there In connection
with pending cases in that court, presenting
the same similar questions as those
presented by this case, and which cases IN
the Supreme Court have been specially as
signed and will likely be heard by that
tribunal within the next few weeks.
with that object in view, there can be
no good reason or useful purpose subserVed
by any elaborate consideration by this court
the QuSSllOuS pIeSSuteu Wy VIC Jill oiAN
demurrer.
Some of the questions raised may well
admit of grave and careful argument ana
consideration If presented under proper
conditions But In this case, and as now
presented, We do not perceive that there Is
any good ground or cause shown for an IN
junction to restrain the commissioner or
internal revenue from proceeding with the
work CT his bureau in respect to the assess
ment and collection of the income tax un-
der the act of Congress of 1891. The court
is asked to take CogniZance of and deal
with the case before the facts are brought
into eXis tence to constitute the foundation
for the exercise of jurisdiction, even sup
posing the court competent to extend relief
by injunction notwithstanding the positive
prohibitory terms of the statute embodied
In section 3224 of the Revised Statutes of
the United States, which declare that no
suit for the purpose of restraining the as
sessment or collection of any tax shall be
maintained in any court
THE learned justice below has considered
this case at large, and has decided all the
questions attempted to be raised by the
bill, and be has reached the conclusion that
there was no sufficient ground presented
to justify the exercise of the restraining
power OF a court of equity in any aspect
of the case. And. without considering and
deciding the main questions presented by
the bill, We concur in the conclusion reach
ed by the justice below, that there is no
suSicie mt cause alleged shown for the
eAtraord nary remedy by injunction, and
therefore the decree dismissing the bill
should be affirmed, and it Is so ordered"

CoNGREssMENs' PERQUIsITEs.
How Little of the Legal Stationery is
Drawn by Members.

Some interesting evidences of the amount
of stationery Congressman draw out OF
their legal allowances are shown by the ses-
sion accounts that are now being filed In
the clerks office of the House OF Repre-
sentatives. Each Representative and dele
gate is entitled to $l25 worth of paper,
pens, ink, pencils, etc, every session OF
Congress, and if he does not avail h1mself
of the full extent of his privilege he can
draw the balance in cash. This Congress
members have been unusually fortunate,
as there have been three separate sessions,
emitting them to an aggregate stationery,
account of 1915. Not bakers dozen have
taken out their full quota of stationery,
and the great majority have drawn but a
few dollars worth. One of the accounts
recently filed showed that the member had
drawn but cents worth of stationery
during the session; another was for So
cents, while quite a number were be-
tween 81 and $40. Each committee of the
House is entitled to certain amount OF
pens, ink, paper, ETC., every session, and
members avail themselves freely of this in
preference to the troublesome and more
eapensive method of keeping private sup

DISCRIMINATING SUGAR DUTY.
The Bill for It's Repeal to Be Favor
ably Reported.

The Senate finance committee has agreed
to report favorably the House bill repeal
ing the one-tenth of cent discriminating
duty on sugar imported from bounty pro-
ducing countries.
The decision to report the bill was reach
ed without a roll CALL Senator Aidrich,
however. made a vigorous protest against
the measure, saying he did not think 1t
wise policy to make any such concession
to Germany as was proposed, and suggest
ed that by vigorous American policy OF
retaliation Germany could be brought to
terms just as Spain had been In the matter
of the trade relations of this country with
Cuba. He also expressed the opinion that
Germany's decision to discriminate against
American beef had been the result of our
repeal of the reciprocity law and the con.
sequent abrogation of our commercial
agreement with that country. and he con-
tended that the best way to remedy the
trouble would be through the re-enactment
of the reciprocity provision of the Mckin-
ley law. He gave notice of a motion In the
Senate to recommit the bill to the com
mittee with instructions In the line OF his
suggestions.

In his charge delivered to the grand
jury Monday, Judge Payne of Chicago,
made use of the following language:
"The man who is guilty shall be pun
ished, whether he is too poor to hire
LAWYER OF rich enough 10 buy the bar"
While the judge included both the poor
and the ricn in his declaration it was I'M
derstood that he referred to the rich in
general, and to the stock yards managers
in particular There has never be-
much complaint that law breakers among
the poor did not get at least as great
punishment as they deserved at the
hands Of the courts. It is those who
have been "rich enough to buy the bar"
that have escaped justice. 1t is charged
that the stock yards people have been
stealing water, millions and millions of
gallons of it, deliberately stealing it.
The evidence appears TO be conclusive.
In view of all the. circumstances and the
extraordinary charge of Judge Payne to
the grand jury the outcome will be
watched with no small degree of interest,
not only by the people of Chicago, but
of the entire country. When a DISPOSE
ton is manifested by the courts to treat
the rich and the poor alike it naturally
commands public attention because it is
unusual and unexpecte d.

Der of barber shops. Shch enterprise and
Industry is always commendable. There
is another side to cases of this kind, how
ever. TO which the attention of the pub
lie is never called Under existing con-
ditions few people who are ont of work
are able to obtain employ except
by displactng somebody else. While the
person who succeeds in getting work by
which to earn livelihood is justly COM
mendsd, the one who ia displaced is not
considered Unfortunately there are few
vacancies awaiting people to I'll them,
but the struggle for existence has be-
come SO fierce that there are numbers OF
people waiting and watching for svery
place and ready to take it, even though
by so doing a fellow being is thereby
rendered beggar or a tramp. The low
ering of wages which has taken place Is
the result of the gold standard does not
help matters. Ia fact, it is notable that
when wages are lowest the smallest num-
Der Of people are employed Wish the
increase ia the number of people en-
ployed recently. as the result of an ex-
haustion of stocks on hand, has come an
advance in wages in many quarters. The
restoration OF silver alone can bring psr-
manent high wages, and only high wages
can give employment to all.

ADoLPH sUTRo. MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO.
and practical engineer. and nothing so
delights him as a difficult question Of
mechanics or construction. He designed
the building over the bath, plans for
water supply and invented and patented
the apparatus for heating the water. In
this scheme of construction Mr.. Sutro
used the second series of his tunnels.
Finding the ocean at hand, the break
ers dashing upon the rocks, this clever
engineer decided that as nature had pro-
vided power sufficient to send the wa
ter to the tanks he would waste no
force ca artificial means Accordingly
a huge basin was blasted out Of the
solid rock Right over the edge of this
basin comes the water of the huge roll
ing pillows Of the Pacific. Now, instead
Of riding the crest of the wave, Mr.. Su-
tro traps and snares it and turns it to
his own purpose. From this basin by
tunnels and canals the water flows to
the reservoir, where it is warmed by g
patent process, and then it flows into
the vast tanks in the building. BY an
ingenious automatic device the water is
cleared of sand, as it would not do to
have the waves carry their load into the
baths A settling place is provided, the
sand is washed back into the ocean, ana
the clear water goes on its way through
tunnels to the tanks.
Tunnels and Tanks.
Not satisfied with all these various
constructions, these canals and pipes
and tunnels, Mr.. Sutro devised an out
let pipe to send the water back to sea
several hundred feet from where it was
taken, in order that the water might
| not be used over and over. The tunnels
for this pipe are several hundred feet
long.
There are six tanks IN the baths. Tie
main swimming tank is as feet long
and $50 feet wide. The other tanks are
smaller. One is filed with cold salt
water for those who wish a bracer.
Some are for beginners, others for la
dies and children. There is one little
tank of fresh water, supplied from W.
terworks above on Sutro Heights. Ev-
cry dressing room is provided with
fresh water shower and an electric bath.
| Then there are tiers upon tiers Of club
rooms for bathers.
The building itself is one Of great
beauty. Elevators and gr and staircases
afford communication from one tier to
another. Stairways and halls are filed
with statuary and palms and tropical
| plants There is museum crowded with
curios, which Mr.. Sntro has brought
from the four corners of the globe. There
are three restaurants aud an aquarium
and conservatory. The lofty spanned
roof, that is more than two acres in ex-
| font gives an effect of sDace and gran
deur simply indescribable. About the
