GREAT GAIN
OF REVENUE
Nearly Fifteen Millions More
Than Under the Old
Tariff Law

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S-The figures
showing the operation of the Payne
Aldrich tariff law for its first year
which ended last Saturday, we're an
nounced to-day with a total of $780,
214,O2S to its credit in the surplus Of
receipts over expenditures, which Is
nearly fifteen million dollars great
er than was recorded for the record
year Of 1907.
The total ordinary receipts for the
year ended August 6, 1910. we're $685.
S50.S16. OF this 1929, III ,207 was de-
rived from customs. OF the balance
S2T1 ,12O.142 is credited TO receipts
from internal revenue; $4,000. 1874 is
credited to the new corporation tax,
and S51 ,253 ,531 is classed as miscel-
laneous. The total ordinary dis
bursements were S65S S,366.7S7.
The enormous gain of revenue under
the Payne-Aldrich law is shown by the
statement that, with the year Of 1907
omitted, the revenue received under
the new law was greater by $4,000
than the sum collected in any other
year in the history of the country.
The receipts under the new corpor-
alton tax were only 100000 short of
the amount assessed.
In the total Of disbursements, the
item for the construction og the Pana-
ma Canal for last year is given as
S33 ,2S3,O1S, so that if the treasury
were reimbursed by a sale Of author
lied bonds, Uncle Sans working bal
ance to-day would total $150,000,000.

RICE'S MURDER
Believed That Cleveland Law
yer Was Killed by
an Enemy

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. S.-Develop-
ments of the past twenty-four hours
have served only to complicate the
mystery surrounding the murder Of
Attorney William L. Rice.
The finding of a burlap sack con-
tanning a number of dead chickens
leads to the belief among a few detec-
tiyes that Rise was murdered by
chicken thieves. whom he surprised
Still others maintain that Rice was
killed by highwaymen, who were
frightened away by an approaching
automobile before they had time to
rife the dying mans pockets. Among
those who cling to this belief are mem
bers Of the dead mans family and
household.
c. H. Stuart, a brOther-in-law. inter-
ested with Rice in real estate transac-
tions, believe that the lawyer was
killed by enemies.
"If this is true" he said to-day, the
assassin must have been a man Of
considerable importance. as Mr.. Rice
has not been concerned with small
affairs for several years"

wondered whether it was caused by
the use of hair dye, which he had been
using for five years.
None of his family knew where he

At Delaware City he told Captain Mil
Ter, an acquaintance he formed there.
that he felt if he could cut the top of

sociable man, intelligent and refined.

he killed himself he took from New

OPPOSED TO

Collapse Of Spanish Demon
StratiOn Said to be Due to

THOSE WHO WERE LUKEWARM
RALLIED TO THE PREMIER

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
MADRID, Aug. S.-Anti-Clericalism

templated demonstration by Catholics
at San Sebastian, No more opportune
time, it is conceded by even the oppon-
ents of the government. could have
been chosen for a meeting of protest
against the governments course in the
Vatican dispute than yesterday.
The resentment of the Catholics,
especially in the Basque province, was
at its height and a tremendous sent
ment in favor Of the meeting had been
stirred up. Yet the government was
able to make such a show of strength
that the meeting was abandoned forty
eight hours before the time set for the
demonstration and the few that did
gather were awed into complete sub
mission to the governments orders.
The governments success is admit
tedly to be largely due to the dissatis-
faction of Catholics with the Carlist
movement. When the public became
aware that the Carlists we're seeking
to cover up a possible revolutionary
campaign under the cloak of a reli-
gious warfare thousands rallied to the
support of Premier Canalejas, who
before had been either lukewarm or
actually opposed to the cabinets han
ding of the Vatican controversy. This
means that the government has scored
a double victory.
Military vigilance will be maintained

Monsignor Vico the papal nuncio, is
still in Madrid, which gives rise to
the belief that the Vatican still has
hopes of coming to a satisfactory
agreement with the government. .

they will take by compelling them to
20 to bed at some regular early hour
and TO rise in the morning the moment
they awake. and within fortnight ma
ture. with almost the regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants OF the sys-
