CHICAGO TAX COLLECTORS
Invade Banks and Go away Laden Heavily
With Cash.

Chicago, March S.-Several Chicago
bankers had a novel experience with
tax collectors today Two men en-
tered the First National Bank, and in
formed Vice President Forgan that they
wanted $S5,27S in cash, and that unless
he paid over the money without delay,
they would shut the doors of the bank
and help themselves.
1t was case of collection of taxes
under a decision of the superior court
which refused to sustain an injunction
asked for by six banks against South
Town Collector Ernst. The bill sought
to enjoin the collection on the ground
that assessments were excessive and
fraudulent. The men who entered the
First National Bank and demanded the
money were Collector Ernst and Attor-
ney Rooney, and they were accompa-
MED by bailiffs. After some parleying.
the banks counsel advised payment of
the tax rather than risk such disturb
ance to business as might follow a clos
ing of the bank. Collector Ernst was
given $S5,273, with notice that his right
to take it was denied. The collector
then visited the other banks concerned.
The Bankers National paid over $1S.-
2S6, the Fort Dearborn National 1926,
the Globe National $14, 800, the North
western National $23, 786, and the Amer
lean National S19,36 Each bank pro-
tested, and refused to accept a receipt
showing that the money had been ia
ken in payment of taxes

A NOTABLE AUDIENCE.
Concert in Washington for Families of
Maine Sailors.

Washington, March 8. - The audience
which crowded the National Theatre at
the womans concert given today for the
benefit of the families of the men who lost
their lives in the Maine disaster was the
most notable body ever assembled in q
Washington theatre.

close of the performance.
The presidents appearance in the door
way with Mrs. Mckinley on his arm, was
the signal for an outburst of cheering
waving of flags and handclapping. An
other and louder cheer was eiven as the
presidential carriage was driven away.

SUPERIORITY OF THE BRITISH
WORKER.

AS I have said in a previous article,
Brftain's insuar position made a fleet
necessary, but early in the century the
United States wooden clippers, and
Frances vessels in a less degree, shared
with her the shipping trade of the world.
The possession of iron ore was not con-
fined to England, but British builders
more quickly recognized the possibilities
Of iron for construction and Of steam for
propulsion; and, more fortunately still.
the declaration of a free trade policy
came to augment enormously the value
of the artisans wage at the right mo-
ment-at a time when discomfort was in
the bud. No attempt was made to re-
duce the rate or the sum OF the wage
it has all along been the other way
but the cheapenng of the necessaries of
life at once had its effect Britain had
a better fed, and therefore a more indus
trious worker The better qualities of
man were quickened in direct proportion
to his improved social conditions; the
mind was developed, and work problems
We're attacked with the greater courage,
The value of labor was thus greatly en-
HANGED, and there is no question that
even today Britains position among the
nations continues to be due amid in
creasing competition, to this higher av-
erage physical and mental status. The
spirit of independence has beer fostered,
and, although it may from time to time
assert itself in unfortunate ways, aspi-
ration must always be in advance of at
tainment flames NcKechnie, in the

London, March 9-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: Owing to
war rumors, bread riots and other dis
quieting circumstances, the Spanish
provinces are in such an hysterical state
as to distract attention from the coming
elections, and to make prediction as to
the results a difficult matter.
THE government ought to secure a
fair majority. The carlists will only
contest the seats they are confident of
gaining. The republicans are unde-
eided, and the conservatives are so
broken in doctrine, spirit and numbers
that they are powerless greatly to turn
the scale either way"

TO REDUCE ITS STOCK.
Northampton National Bank Stockholders
to Act on Recommendation.

10 Act on recommendation.
Springfield, Mass, March S.-A meet
ing Of the stockholders of the North
ampton, Mass, National Bank is called
for Thursday. April 7, at 10 o'clock a.
M, to act on the recommendation of the
directors that the capital stock of the
bank be reduced from $500 900 to $780,
600 by the reduction of the number OF
shares from 1000 to 1000, and the pay
ment of 100000 to stockholders.
The reason for this proposed action.
as outlined in the notice sent out today
is: The present capital is larger than the
strictly legitimate business of the bank
requires, as is evidenced by the fact
that nearly three-quarters of it is al
present invested in stocks and bonds. II
is intended to reduce this particular in
vestment in the reduction Of capital
stock, this appearing to be an adyan-
tageous time to do so. In taking this
step it has been sought with Jealous
care to maintain the prestige of the
bank, which has always ranked among
the strongest and richest banks of west.
ern Massachusetts.
1t is confidently believed that the re.
suit will be to strengthen the bank in
its, essential quality, and at the same
tlme enable 1t to pay largely increased
dividends to its stockholders. 1t is
stated that over 2O0O shares have al
ready consented to the plan but it is
