The cost OF living in the United States
increased IL per cent between Decem-
ber 1, 1908, and December /, 1909. This
represents the increase in price of hearty
100 commodities. The average increase
in prices since 1895 is just 5S.4 per cent.
This would not be 80 bad if salaries and
wages had had a corresponding upward
tendency; but they have not.

The Star Mercantile Company Of To-

NEW YORK, Dee. 5.-TTustees Of the
sect known as the pillar Of Fire"
called at Ellis Island today and offered
bend that Lillian Naude Allen. a
FTepossessiGg young Engiishwoman, de-
Iained there, would not become a public
charge
An order for Miss Aliens deporta-
ton had already been signed, and the
visitors left, saying they would appeal
to Washington. Miss Allen, they said,
is of age, although she was held up on
her arrival here on Saturday on the
steamer St PAU at the request Of her
father, a wealthy Englishman, who ca
bled that she IS a minor
She had only 50 with her, but said she
was en- route 10 the headquarters Of the
pillar Of Fire Society, at BOUndbrook,
y J.. where she was to be trained as
a missionary.
The authorities say that so far as Miss
Allen is concerned her religious views
have nothing to do with her detention

supported by voluntary contributions, so
that there was the chance Of her be

NEW PLAN PROPOSED
TO COLLECT TAXES
Commissioners Ask That
Penalties and Costs Be
Eliminated.

With a request for its early enact
ment. the Commissioners today for
warded to Congress a bill authorizing
them to receive arrearages of taxes
due II the District Of Columbia 10 July
I, 1905, at 6 per cent interest per an
mum. in lieu Of penalties and costs.
The Commissioners say that this bin
II enacted would. doubtless. have the
same effect as that passed by Congress
February -, 1902. and several other
similar acts, under which nearly 500, 900
arrears of taxes have been collected.
In many instances" the Commits
siOners say In q letter to Senator Gal
Hnger, chairman OF the senate Commit
tee on the District Of Columbia, the
property which the proposed legislation
is designed to relieve is encountered
with arrears, penalties and costs to AZ
amount which so nearly equals its sale
value that no one VIII purchase It at
tax sale as a revenue-pTodvcing invest
ment Much Of the property involved is
not sufficiently desirable, on account
OF locality and environment, to make
II attractive as a permanent investment
at the price which would have TO be
laid 10 clear IL Of the tax obligation
The arrears in most instances origi-
rally accumulated through the inabiI-
lty OF owners 10 raise the money with
which to pay them. 1t Is probable that
many Of the owners would make an
exceptional effort 10 clear the property,
II relieved Of the burden Of the accU-
mulated penalties and cost.
The Commissioners are officially ad-
vlsed that an occasional act of that
nature works a public benefit by in
duciEg unusual efforts on the part OF
many delinquent taxpayers to liqUidate
their overdue taxes, and thus brings
into the treasury a considerable sum
payment Of which might otherwise be
indefinitely delayed -

NEW AIR BRAKES.

lhar cars operated elsewhere uuGer
similar and often less hazardous coudi-

power brakes
one OF the above complaints was re-
ferred 90 the washington Railway and
Electric Company through the Inter

ply was received giving various reasons
why air brakes were not required on
