IBT TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBuNE.l
Washington, April 3.-Not even war rumors
and their depressing effect on importatons have
been sufficient to prevent an increase in the re-
cep's OF the Treasury Department during the
month OF constant excitement just ended. The
March receipts were. exclusive of the sums re-
ceved from the Pacific Railroad sales, S2930i,-
30 or more than 20 per cent in excess OF the
receipts in the corresponding month OF the his
tory Of the Wilson law. The total receipts OF
the Treasury Department in the eight months
since the new law went into effect have been
more than S20,000.000 in excess Of those of the
first eight months Of the Wilson law. Treasury
officials estimate that the March receipts are
from S2OC0000 to 100000 less than they
would have been except for the business UNI
certainties due to the war rumors. and while
the increase in the month just ended has there
fore been something less than was anticipated.
the fact that there material increase In
the face OF the adverse conditions satisfies the
trainers OF the Dlngley law that they were not
mistaken in their belle. that under normal con-
ditions it would prove adequate for the pur-
poses for which It was framed

under the new law since II went into operation
and compare them with the total receipts
under the Wilson law in the corresponding

Taft and Col. Theodore S. johnson,
clerk of courts, are contemplating an
immediate trip to New York to inves-
tigate fully into the matter of iAetallic
furniture. 1t will be remembered that
recently the county commissioners re-
ceived bids for equipping of the entire
new court buildings with metal furni-
ture, but the department heads are
not yet fully decided as to what kind
of furniture is most desirable.
Contractor George w. Webb of the
Webb Granite and Construction Com
pany is perfecting a system of inter-
communication between the offices of
the new building, which will possess
great merit. There will be tubular
telephone system in the Office Of clerk
of courts. the registry Of deeds, the pro-
bate court and other court Offices, so
that the official head may commuli-
cate with the clerks, and one Office
with another. The system will pro0ab-
