worth the candle, and to decide whether
they care to, or can afford to, remain
in country in which financial burdens
are steadily on the increase In q most
vexatious manner. 1t is what is called
the complementary tax, which will AFFECT
foreigners who do not own land or house
property In France. but are simply re-
siding in this country for their pleasure
or earning their livelihood in it. In
casss where the income Is derived from
abroad, that is to say, outside France,
the Complementary tax for people VINO
are domiciled in the country Is estimated
on every item of that income. Here are
a few figures:
Payments to. the State.
Persons living by their toll will. if
they reside in Paris. have to pay to the
state in the case of earnings amounting
to $4,000 per annum $33.33; for earnings
of $4,000. sSe; of $4,000. $142; Of $4,000,
S212. etc. But the local Paris taxes
have also to be borne in mind. and, as
they are about equal to those paid to
the state. each item may be doubled for
convenience when the total amount is
calculated. With regard to other sources
of income. full declaration will also
have to be made. and any attempt to
represent them as being smaller than
they really are will be visited with dire
pains and penalties. sometimes amount
ing almost to downright confiscation
In many cases bankers will be consulted
about operations which they may have
carried out for persons having accounts
with them, and all sorts of other queS
tons will be asked.
AS for foreigners who have domiciles
abroad. but who have residences in this
country, their incomes are calculated, if
they do not possess any property in
France or derive any revenue here. at
the rate of seven times the sum that
they pay for their house or fiat by way
of rental. Thus, If they pay 81, 600 q
year-which is by no means an exorbitant
rental in Paris-they will be taxed as If
their revenue amounted to $1,000 and
at the rate of per cent. which is set
down for incomes from capital.
Total of 8 Per Cent.
Thus they will give per cent to the
state and also per cent to the city
total after both accounts have been
settled, per cent. But there are very
many foreigners who pay far higher
rentals-from $4,000 to $4,000 or $1,000
and as they will have domiciles in their
own country, it being only on this con-
dition that they are allowed this par
ticular estimate, they will thus be pay
ing a considerable tax in addition to
that which they pay at home

OFF At MEET OF
PAROCH|AL BOYS
Mayor Haussling Fires Shot
That Starts Annual Contest
of Catholic Schools.

It is ''Parochial School Day. at
Hillside Park, and shortly after noon
the place was thronged with the 1,50o
young athletes representing almost
every Catholic school in the Newark
diocese, their classmates. parents and
friends.
While the band played popular airs
the boys and girls waved their colors
and sang their school songs. 1t was q
repetition of the scene in Wiedenmay-
er's Park yesterday, the enthusiasm
reaching its height when the boys en-
tered In the various events trotted on
the field prior to the procession around
the track.
Cheer after cheer for each school was
given, and 1t was hard to tell which
was the strongest In vocal power, but
1T looked like close race between the
Cathedral and st. Joseph's schools.
Many figured that the championship
rested between these two, but others
intimated that a dark horse would have
the most points at the finish.
Shortly before o'clock there was an
outburst of applause. when an automo-
bile containing Mayor Jacob Haussling
and the Rev. Edward F. Quirk, of ST.
Joseph's, who worked zealously to make
the meet success, entered the park.
Both were cheered to the echo, and the
band struck up ''Hail to the Chief -
The Mayor lost no time In going to
the starting point.
Many rushed to grasp his hand. and
when he arranged his cuffs and re-
moved his hat they thought he was
about to demonstrate his ability as an
athlete, but such was not the case, for
like a flash he drew a revolver from
his pocket and few seconds later the
first race was started. The mayor was
then escorted to the grand stand, where
he witnessed the various events and
chatted with many of the clergymen
who sat by his side.
Although the track was heavy some
figured that records would be smashed.
Bernard J. Owens and the other MEM
bers of the committee, as well as the
officials, lost no time in having the
events run in order, and 1t was evi-
dent that the success of last years field
day would be surpassed.

THIEVES SMASH
WALL; GET ONLY
SMALL CHANGE
Daring Burglars in Heart of City
Get Little Reward for
Their Pains.

The remarkable ease with which
burglars entered Halsey street store.
in the centre of the city. early today.
made their way through the adjoining
wall to a neighboring store. always
finding everything necessary to their
hand. ended with the thieves getting
only q handful of small change.
The presence of the thieves in the
building was Indicated to Peter Farley
when he opened up the stockroom of
the Richard e. Thibaut Paper Com
pany, at las Halsey street. The trail
was SO clear that the story Of the past
midnight marauders was easy to read.
BY the simple expedient of placing a
garbage pail against the front door
they were enabled to crawl over the
transom. which had apparently been
left unlocked.
Once inside, the stoclSroom had
yielded them nothing, and they had re-
connoitered. They were not long in dis
covering that the wall between las and
143. which also belongs to the paper
company, was of brick, and thick. A
pleasant surprise awaited on the other
side of the room. The hollow answer to
their knocks revealed that the
wall dividing this room from the drug
store of Moses Straus, on the corner of
Halsey and Academy streets, was of
plaster and boards. great square
hole, IA by Is inches, was easily pushed
through this wall.
Find Tool Chest I'm Store.
In the receiving room of the Straus
store the thieves found a tool chest
just what they needed. They borrowed
hammer and chisel and opened a
roll-top desk in the front of the store.
This yielded them but a few dollars in
pennies and they found nothing else
about the place they cared about but
cigars and chewing gum. By piling up
wall paper In front Of the door the
visitors managed to get back to the
street bS the transom through which
they had entered. -
Detectives from police headquarters
who examined the site Of the robbery
declared 1t to be the work Of boys. The
victims feel, IL this theory is correct,
the boys must have been very pre-
cocious and large for their ages.
