the services are to close Unusual in
terest has been taken in them and the
concise, forcef0l.l and eloquent ser
mons, together with the clear EXPOSE
lions of the instructions have made a
deep impression, and much good is
certain to result. The clergy who have
been in charge, Rev. Fathers Hunting
ton and Hughson, have made many
friends here who will regret their de-
parture.
The services last night were well at
tended and the usual interest shown.
Father Huntington preached another
strong sermon from the subject Chris
tian Character" Rev. Father Hugh
son followed with the instructions,
bringing out the essentials of Chris

MORE THAN $4,000
WAS PAID IN TAXES


Throughout Yesterday.
Yesterday was the last day but one
on which taxes could be paid, the
books of Collector Thomson closing to-
morrow night. The delinquents rushed
to the office and when the opening hour
arrived there were thirty-odd waiting
to hand over their money. And the
rush kept up throughout the entire
day, some taxes being paid even after
8 o'clock. 1t was one of the busiest
days that the collector has had in some
time, and the rush to-day promises
to exceed even that of yesterday.
When the office had closed and a
hurried survey of the amounts re-
ceived had been made, the indications
were that more than $4,000 had been.
paid during the eight hours that the,
office was open. This came in amounts.
of all sizes, varying from the small
sum of the small property holders to-
the large amounts assessed against Sa-
Vannah business concerns. 1t is alto
gether probable that an even larger
aggregate amount will be taken in to-,
day.
There is no longer any doubt that the
showing this year will be equally as
good as that of other years. and it
may even run in excess of that
amount. The books will close to-day
and the list of delinquents will then
be handed over to the sheriff for the
collection of the amounts charged
against them.

Though there is still quite an amount
of work to be done on the Gwinnett
street subway. it is now assuming a
finished look.
The retaining walls on either side are
about completed. and, it can now. be
seen how the subway will look when
finished, despite the rubbish on hand.
Jan. was the time set in the con-
tract for the completion of the sub
way. but it cannot be finished by that
time. The work has been progressing
rather rapidly recently, though. and
it will be finished within few weeks.
The subway will have to be paved
after the rest of the work is finished
so it will be some little while before
it will be opened to the public.

UNCLE SAM A NABOB.
Beats All Napo1eons of Finance az a
Money maker.

Money maker.
That the cost of the government Is
daily increasing, and that, in spite of
this increasing cost the United States
is able, after paying every bill, to put
aside more cash each night at the close
of business than it did on the correspond
ing day last year or the year before that,
are easily demonstrated by an analysis
of the daily balance sheet issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury.
One Of the clever statisticians Of
Washington took the statement of re-
cent day, which was typical Of the whole
series of the fall season, and made some
interesting deductions. The statement,
which set forth the transactions Of an
ordinary day, shows that the total re-
ceipts of the government from all sources
for that day were 5000, S36.55, and
that the total expenses of that day were
$1,S30,00O, thus leaving a balance of re-
ceipts over expenditures in the treasury
of $190,S3655. In other words, the gov
eminent collected nearly 100000 more
than it had any immediate need for.
The source of greatest income on this
particular day was from customs col
ections levied under the tariff act
They totaled for the day ST $3.50
This is at the rate Of SAT ,1GTGO an hour,
or $7S6O1 a minute, or $13.1O a second.
While collecting tariff duties at the rate
Of $13.10 a second, the government at
the same time was collecting internal
revenue taxes at the rate Of $S.TG a sec
ond, the total receipts for the day from
that source being $756,933.72. From
miscellaneous sources there was collected
during the day $132, 024.24
On the corresponding day last year the
receipts from all sources were $l,331 =
440 40, with expenses of 81 1G0,O 900. Col
lections for the corresponding day last
year were at the rate Of $15.4I q sec
ond, the profits to the government on
the days transactions being only $1.99
second, against 1921 a second on Sept.
1G, 1908.
The item of greatest cost, as shown
by the statement under review, was cred
tied to "war"-merely a convenient term
used by the treasury's bookkeepers to
indicate the total expense of the War De-
partment for that day. The exhibit
shows that there was disbursed on ac-
count of war on Sept. 16, $4,000,
and on the same day the navy cost the
nation $4,000. Pension payments for
the day We're 100000, thus making the
count of war and the necessary equip
ment to carry it on $1,5o0,000.
While, of course, an enormous amount
Of money is paid out every day in ex-
penses, the government, rs has been
shown, is making profit of 1921 a sec
ond on its daily transactions.

Both sessions of the jury were brought
to an unexpected close by announcements
| that death had claimed some Of the
people injured on the day Of the fire.
| The two deaths made the coroner's total
of fire victims 56S. The police list is
now SOB.
The testimony went to show that there
were 1,606 people seated in the theater
and probably 1876 standing. 1t was said
that the Iroquois Theater Company is
| incorporated, but the officers were not
prepared to say that the building had
been legally accepted from the George A.
Fuller Construction Company. Treas
urer Powers Appropriated the amount
paid, to the construction company thus
far rs $330,0O0, and said he believed
about 100000 more was owing.
Mr.. Noonan, business manager of the
theater who also testified, said he knew
| that people were allowed to stand up on
the lower floor back of the last row of
seats but insisted that he did not author
ize Head Usher Dusenberry to permit
this. He also admitted that two Of the
main doors in the second tier in the foyer
were locked, but as to whether the sew
cral doors barring the way to other exits
were locked he was not sure.
When the Iroquois fire started the au-
dience viewed it with calmness. and In
| fancied security sat and waited, with
astonishing faith, until death suddenly
swooped out from the proscenium arch
and claimed nearly 600 souls. This ter
rible fact was brought out with distinct
ness at the first session OF the inquest.
The great audience, largely made up of
women and children, firmly believed in
the safety of the Iroquois Theater. For
several minutes after the sparks began to
fly on the stage the audience remained
practically motionless, watching the
stage hands trying to extinguish the FIRE.

The stage hands became confused and

The stories that brought out these
facts were in many cases dramatic IN
the extreme. But the coroner and his
deputy wanted to get at facts bearing on
the causes of the disaster and when they
found witness who was willing to tell
and knew what he was talking about
they went straight to the point.
In Robert E. Murray, the theater en-
gineer, the jury found its most valuable
witness. He said that although there
were four standpipes in the building
there was only fifty feet of hose, and that
was hidden somewhere In the smoking
room. In his TIVE hours of testimony the
engineer supplied the jury with much
valuable informa ton.

FIFTY DIE IN WAVES.

COAST
Fifty-two persons were drowned pat
urday afternoon by the SINKING Oh Tue
steamer Clalam of the Seattle lctoria
feet midway between Smith island anu
Dungeness in the straits Of Juan de ruca
during a storm
The terrific seas buffeted the ship and
made life uncomfortable Tor those OH
board, but little alarm was felt unfli
word was brought up from below decks
that the vessel was leaking, through
which the water rushed, eXungulshlng
the fires beneath its boilers and putting
it at the mercy of bowling gale.
Every woman and child aboard perish
ed. This was due to the desperate effort
to save them in the ifeboats, which were
capsized almost as soon as they were
launched.
The first boat contained only women
and children, three deck hands from the
Clallam and Captain Lawrence of the
Victoria going off in II. The boat was
overwhelmed 600 feet from the Clallam,
and its occupants shrie.ed in VAIN for ana
from those aboard the steamer The sec
ond boat rowed away into the darkness
The third boat, containing only men, was
swamped in launching.
From that time on the members OIL
the crew and the few passengers who
had volunteered to remain aboard devot-
ed themselves to the task Of trying to
save the vessel. The pumps We're impo-
tent and three gangs of bailers were set
to work In spit Of their efforts the
water gained on them, and they were
| about to resign themselves to their fate
| when the Richard Holyoke, one of the
| six tugs which had been sent to the res

A line was thrown aboard the tug
and with it's tow it started for Port
Townsend. 1t made fair progress, and 1t
| seemed for a time that the Clallam, with
| the remainder of it's crew and passen-
| gers was to be saved. But the hull Of
| the Clallam began to give way before
| the terrific assaults Of the waves.
| The Clallam went on her beam end
and began sinking rapidly. few min
| utes later she lurched and disappeared
| beneath the waves. BY heroic efforts the
crews of the two tugs saved the lives of
nearly all who remained aboard the Clal-
lam. A few were swept away and per-
| ished in the blackness of the storm.
