as $40, 100000 This estimate is based
on the returns up to this time. They
indicate a larger amount of net in
come over the $4,000 exemption than
was at first thought would be the case.
Returns have been received from about
800, 900 corporations, and when the de-
linquents are all in IL is believed the
total number will approximate $4,000.
For the purpose of examining the re-
turns preparatory to levying the as
sessments, a force of thirty-six clerks
from the various branches of the treas
ury service have been designated for
duty under the commissioner of inter-
nal revenue. The assessments must

Londoners to Extend Freedom of
City and Receive Him as
a Citizen.
CARRY OUT Old CEREMONIAL
Former President Will Not be Asked
to Swear Allegiance but Will be
Handed Copy Of Resolutions
of Freedom in Gold Box.

London, March 24.-In view Of the
fact that considerable discussion has
been aroused by the action of the cor
poration in deciding to confer the hon
orary freedom of the City of London
on former President Roosevelt on the
occasion of his approaching visit, the
London press is taking pains to ex-
plain the proposed honor and it's sig
nficance.
II seems that though a presentation
Of this kind is called the honorary
freedom, foreigners of distinction on
whom il is bestowed are naturally not
expected to take the oath or make the
declaration of allegiance to the British
Crown, and they are consequently not
recorded as Freemen in the Chamber
lan's court. But in every other re-
spect the ancient ceremonial is car
ried out, and the distinguished visitor
is handed copy of the resolution of
freedom in n gold box and the Cham
berlain offers him the right hand of
fellowship as citizen of London
This was the procedure adopted in
the cases of Garibaldi, General Grant,
George Peabody and Count Ferdinand
de Lesseps.

Savannah. the Ward the Old Dominion
& Pacific Mail companies had been
built at the Roach yards here.
When the four steel vessels were
built for the navy political influence

WROTE OLD FAMILIAR SONGS

Bridgeport Conn. March 24.-Fannv

"oOO Gospel hymns. received numer-
Gus congratulations today on the occa-
SION OF her ninetieth birthday. She
ives with n niece i'm this CITY. where
her birthday anniversary was fttinelv
recognized this afternoon by a gath
ering of the members of the Fanny
crosby Circle of Kings Daughters.
The famous hymn writer, whose full
name is Frances Jane Crosby Van AL
styne, has been blind ever since she
was six weeks old At the age of fif-
teen she entered the Institute for the
Blind, i'm New York city, and for ten
years she was teacher there. She
wrote and published her first hymn
while she was still in her teens and
though now 80 years old she has not
yet laid aside her pen. When at the
height of her activity she frequently
produced twelve or fifteen hymns in a
single week At the suggestion of her
publishers, who said they did not want
to have the same name opposite every
hymn in their books, Miss Crosby
used during her long career more than
100 mons de plume. For over half a
century her hymns have been sung ev-
erywhere in the work of evangelization.
In 1853 Miss Crosby was married to
Alexander Van Alstyne who also was
blind. He was a musician of ability
and set some of his wife's best known
verses to music Mr.. Van Alstyne died
in 1902 and since then the famous
hymn writer has resided with a niece
in this city, receiving comfortable
pension from the publishing firms who
reaped large profits from her work.
Probably the best known of the thou
sands of hymns that have come from
Miss Crosby's pen are "Safe i'm the
Arms of Jesus" Jesus the Water Of
Life Will Give" and "Jesus, Keep Me
Near the Cross" In addition to her
hymns she has written numerous songs
many of which were familiar every
where a generation ago.

LIVING COST IN LONDON.
Laborng Class Not Much, If Any, Bet
ter OFF There Than Here.

Washington, March 24.--That the
cost of living to the laboring classes of
London is correspondingly not much
less than I'm any of the large cities in
the United States is made manifest in
q report to the bureau of manufactures
Of the department OF commerce and Ia
Dor by a, special agent who has COM
pleted an investigation of the general
condition of the laboring population of
the London district.
In review of the wages paid to the
various trades II is evident that the
earnings of the London workman are
as correspondingly low as is his cost
of living. Taxicab drivers, making
from $15 to $40 week, the agent says,
are unquestionably the best paid work
men i'm the city. The best paid London
policeman gets $10.33 a week; n letter
carrier $3.50 at the most and in the
engineering trades the maximum wage
is a little more than $40 weekly.
Prices of food and lodgings. taken
from Isington. Hackney and White
chapel, the principal laboring districts
of the city, represent that food and
lodging for n workman with wife and
two children will come to minimum
Of $5.34 (22 shillings) week. This
compared with the average wage
and those earning from 1925 to $975
a week are spoken OF as better paid
shows, perhaps, little difference with
the cost of living In America.
Secretaries of the labor unions ano
charitable organizations reported that
during the last two to five years the
workmen ready for employment mad
rot been able to get more taan SO to
IS per cent of the time.
