preme court on May again takes up
the income tax question, it Will 60 into
the merits Of all pointa involved and will
not, as its order made Tuesday appar-
rently stated, coniine the arguments to
the question of whether rehearing Of
the cases shall be granted This unex-
pected explanation of the courts order
shows that it intended to state that it
had granted the petition for rehearing
and if the bench was full on the date
named would reopen the case. Attorney
General Olney and others directly inter
ested in the trial of the suit understood
the courts order in the same manner as
did the public.

planned when it is remembered that the
Great Northern strike occurred during
the first quarter of the year, aud for
about five weeks there was no business
worth speaking of done by the
postolice here, as trallic on the road was
a standstill and for weeks no mail moved
east or west. The receipts during that
quarter fell off 81 ,lJ9.4J from the figures
of the preceding year. Every other
quarter in the year shows healthy
increase over the figures of the year
before. Eliminating the quarter during
which the strike occurred for purposes
of comparison, it appears that the aver
age increase during the remainder of the
year amounted to over IL per cent, the
amount of the increase being SGT in the
second quarter, 1924 in the third quarter
and S29S in the last quarter just ended.

THE WEATHER SIGNALS.
Successful Tests Made by the Burea'
Oficers in New York.

Successful Tests Made by the Bureau
Officers in New York.
NEW YORK, March 8.-A most sue
cessful test was made this evening OF
the new weather signals constructed by
the weather bureau in the tower of the
Manhattan Life Insurance Company's
new building at Sc Broadway. The sig
mails, red and white, are placed one
above the other, 1874 feet above the sea
level. The lights, which were especial
ly constructed for the bureau have a
combined strength of $4,000 candle
power. The red signal consists of ten
arc lamps, each of 1900 candle-power.
The white signal, which is placed above
the red twelve feet, is made up of six
arc lamps, each of 1000 candle power.
The test was made soon after Z O'clock
Sergeant Dunn said he had men sta
toned at Newark, Rutherford, Long ISL
and City, Hoboken and Brooklyn, who
will report their observations of the sig.
malls made. He added:
"These signals will indicate approach.
ing winds, and will not be used as rair
or snow Signals. The red light alone in
dictates easterly winds and hurricanes
The white light will say frosty morn
ing; the red and white, high westerly
winds, and a fash light with greer
shade will indicate cold wave"
The lights can be seen fifty miles
away,

The Days of witchcraft Have Been Re-
newed in Indiana.
BRAZIL, Ind, March 8,-The days of
witchcraft are revived at Brazil. Two
months ago a man named Stapleton,
aged go, married Miss Johnson, aged
16 years. Two weeks ago the wife left
her husband, returning to her parents,
since which time she is controlled by a
mysterious influence, under which she
has spasmodic spells. They prey heav-
ily upon her both physically and mem
tally. She alleges that her husband has
bewitched her, and seeks redress in the
courts. The most peculiar phase OF the
phenomenal case is that by his black
art, his wife alleges. the husband has
transformed her into horse, and re-
peatedly he has ridden her, under. the
cover OF darkness to the point OF ex-
haustion. The young wife's brother
threatens the life of her husband, whose
son has filed complaint praying that he
be compelled to execute bond for
surety OF the peace. The situation is
becoming complicated and sensational.

He Says Reports of CrueIties to Royalist
Prisoners Are Untrue.
SANTA Rosa, Cal, March 8.-The pub
ljshed accounts Of the cruelty inflicted
on the royalist prisoners by the officers
OF the Hawaiian government are pro-
nounced utterly untrue by Walter Frear,
one of the supreme judges of Hawaii,
who is visiting relatives here. He says
the stories were manufactured by the
enemies of the new government. He
was in Honolulu during the recent up
rising, and says the republic has been
greatly strengthened; that, as result
of the attempted revolution, hundreds
who had refused to support either side
have gone over to the governments sup
port. He declares that the desire for
annexation to this country is stronger
than ever before, for many royalists see
ing that they have lost control forever
would rather see the United States own
the islands than the faction which over
threw them.

work on the canal, inasmuch as it is moi
stipulated that the money should be en-.
tirely expended in the work of construct.

claims, be thrown away in dredging the

A PETITION TO SATOLLl.
Friends Of the Murdered CrOnin Ask an
Investigation.

~~--
Investigation.
CHICAGO, March 6.-The Croninites
are making strong attempt to drag
Monsignore satolli, and through him
the Catholic Church, into the great
quarrel which disrupted the Clan-na-
Gael throughout the nation and the
Irish people of this city. The followers
of the murdered doctor are arguing that
the difficulties which hang around the
death of Cronin and the circumstances
that preceded that tragic event have
reached too large proportions in Chicago
for the Church to keep clear of the con-
troversy any longer. They charge a
number of priests in this city with
prostituting their sacred Office to help
the murders of Cronin to escape justice,
and even to reap rewards for their crime.
The Croninites have prepared and sent
to Monsignore Satolli petition urging
the papal ALLOCATE to visit Chicago and
investigate in person these charges,
which are far too serious to be probed
only by hearsay evidence. Thousands
of copies of this petition have been
printed in the form of circular and
distributed among Catholics, who are
believed to side with the Croninites or
to be in favor of just and fair settle
ment of the whole trouble by the Church
itself

THE PREsIDENT TOOK AZ

Abuse the Deputies Rejected Mottf
Restricting Jewish Immigrationbys
Vote of 1877 to 81.
BERLIN, March 8.-During the debate
in the reichstag to-day the question OF
restricting Jewish immigration was dis
cussed. Herr Haas suggested that nat
uralization should be made conditional
upon the national sentiment of the in
dividual applying for it and upon his
ability to earn his living. Herr Reick-
ert declared Herr Haas wished to erect
Chinese wall against free intercourse.
DR.. Won Boetticher said it was contrary
to the spirit of the commercial treaties
to prevent Jew belonging to contract
state from engaging in trade in Ger
many. On the other hand, there was
nothing to prevent the government from
expelling foreigner who infringed TIE
police regulations. Herr Hermes, amid
loud and unceasing Interruptions, vlo-
lently attacked the anti-Semites, whom
he declared to be disgrace to Germany
and worse even than the Socialists.
Rector Awkward, the notorious jew
hater, INDUCED in violent diatribe
against the Jews, whom he repeatedly
described as being beasts OF prey, swim
oilers and pirates. Herr Richter pro-
tested against the president of the
reichstag, Herr Levitzow, allowing such
scandalous remarks TO pass without cen.
sure, but Richter was himself rebuked
by Herr Levitzow, who amid loud ap.
plause from the members of the right
said he could not permit his conduct in
the chamber to be criticised. To this
Herr Richter retorted:
"If l have not technical right to dc
so, have at least the moral right OF
my side"
The discussion was then closed, ane
after heated personal criticisms the pro
posal of Haas was rejected. Later thu
resolution of Won Hammerstein agains
Jewish immigration was rejected by
vote of 1877 to 81.

NEWSPAPER LAWS.
What Has Long Been Fiction Is Now
Made Crime.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE assistant
Encouragement for the postoffice de-
partment has made an important ruling
in regard to what are known as news
paper laws" These so-called laws pro-
vide that subscribers to newspapers are
liable for the prices thereof unless they
give express notices to discontinue; that
when they give notice to discontinue
without paying arrearages or refuse to
take papers from the office, the pub
Usher of a newspaper can have any one
arrested for fraud who takes a news
paper and refuses to pay for it, and that
is dangerous trick to allow a subscrip-
ton account to run on for six months or
q year and then tell the postmaster to
mark it refused" or send the editor
notice to discontinue the paper. The
department has time and again inform
ed persons making inquiries and the
public generally that there are no such
laws. The ruling just made, however,
goes beyond this. 1t was to the effect
that publisher who makes demand
for payment of the subscription price of
his paper through the mails, accom-
panied by threat of enforcing such
pretended laws in case the demand is
not complied with, may be prosecuted
for attempting to obtain money under
false pretenses, provided he knows that
such so-called laws have no existence as
laws or decisions in the courts.

checks are printed has been regarded
until now as being absolutely proof

tions of the expert swindlers shatter the
claims of the inventors of the paper that
their invention is acid-proof. The
checks raised failed to show single
erasure mark, and the amount Of the
check in figures in the corner, as well as
the written amount in the body Of the
check, was wiped out as completely as i
cloth had been used in removing dust

A BUREAU WITHOUT = HEAD
A Tangle in the Affairs of the Immigra-
ton Department.

ton Department..
WASHINGTON, March There is
curious tangle in the affairs of the i'm
migration bureau which cannot be
Strengthened out until the president re-
turns from his trip to North Carolina.
By an act passed during the closing
hours of congress, and which received
the presidents approval, the office OF
superintendent of immigration was
abolished, and the position of commits
sioner-general of immigration" was
created. No provision was made in the
bill, which was drafted by the treasury
department, to continue in Office Mr..
Herman Stump, of Maryland, the pres
emit efficient superintendent OF immlgra-
ton under the new title given to the
duties of his office as Commissioners
general of immigration" The conse-
auence is that the immigration bureau
is now without an official head. Mr..
Stump continues to exercise general
supervision over the work OF the office,
but the official mail has to be signed by
the chief clerk. When the president re-
turns of course it will be entirely compe-
tent for him to make recess appoint
ment designating Superintendent
Stump as ''commissioner-general," and
if the senate, when it meets in Decem-
Der, confirms the nomination everything
will be all right. In the meantime, and
until the president returns and takes
action, there is a vacancy at the head oil
the immigration bureau.

Uneasiness In Coke Dis riot Over Labor
Troubles.

Uneasiness In Coke Dis riot Over Labor
Troubles.
New York, March S.-The Iron Age
tomorrow will say: Tie outlook is IA
vorable for a moderate advance in Bes-
semer ore and there is little hope of
any recovery in non-Bessemer ore. AS
a matter of fact, sales have been made 10
Eastern furnaces at figures lower than
ever. This means there is chance for
higher cost of Bessemer pig, but little
prospect through producers necessities
in foundry grades. Only rush in the
demand can bring that about.
The coke situation is puzzling. There
is uneasiness as to renewed labor trou-
bles and some evidence that producers
are maneuvering for an advance. The
purchases of Bessemer pig by the three
leading Pittsburg concerns are estimated
at an aggregate of about $4,000 tons,
which clears the market for. some time
to come.
A good deal of work is in sight in fin
ished iron and steel. st. Louis has A.
600 cars to place. 1t is estimated thus
far that orders for 1000 cars have been
given out, which is considerable i'm
provement over last year. For struc-
tural work the outlook is quite pleasing
with reference to tonnage. The Della
ware bridge of the Pennsylvania COM
pany, involving upward of 10000 tons,
is soon to be given out. There is pros
pect of good deal of work in building
iron. The steel rail trade continues
slow. STILL Eastern mills took about
III 900 tons, including $4,000 tons for a
Georgia railroad. Activity in pipe con
tracts continues, the Western mills
sweeping everything before them in
their own territory.
