THOUSANDS FLOW
into TAX OFFICE
Fully 81, 100000 Is Received
During the Day.

Money coming into the District Building
at the rate of 100000 an hour, far beyond
the income OF the greatest miilionaires,
was the record established yesterday
when the last general rush was made TO

Fully sl,5O0,000 was received during the
day. There has always been big rush
on every May 81 to get taxes paid, but the
amount received yesterday surpassed that

big waste baskets 10 hold them.
Letters by the bushel and stacks of un-
counted checks two feet high were the
principal characteristics of the appear

more checks received this morning-those
that were mailed last evening-for the law

Mr.. Rogers personally supervised the
opening Of all letters, and stacked the
checks as best he could-but long before
the closing hour he was swamped by the
influx of money. The total count viii be
made to-day.

TWO YOUNG WOMEN
TRY TO END LIVES
Both Drink Acid, But Re-
cover from Effects.

Despondent and tired OF life. two
young girls yesterday tried to end their
lives by drinking carbolic acid. Both

day morning while on her way to work
in company with her f1fteen-year-old sis
ter. Shortly after reaching their place
of employment Mary told her sister that
she was going home. When she reached
her home, she swallowed the contents of
the bottle and then told her mother, who
was on a lower floor. Of the deed.
Mrs. Stearman sent for help. and ac-
companied her daughter to Homeopathic
Hospital in the ambulance. Mary had
said on Monday evening that she was
tired of life.

her troubles in the afternoon by drinking
acid She was known at the apartment
as Mrs. James A. Douglass.
Douglass was, in the room when the
girl took the poison, and called an am
buIance.- She was taken to Emergency
Hospital, where physicians say she will
recover. Douglass was locked up at the
First precinct station pending develop
ments.
In his first statement to the police
Douglass said he had married the girl
about a month ago, but later asserted
there had never been a ceremony. He
says that he came here from Chicago,
after having been member of Buffalo
Bits Wild West Show.
Douglass stated to the police that trou-
Bile arose over his writing to another
woman and telling the Tippet girl that

There has been some little delay among
the civil service employees of the Dis
trict in getting their petition In favor OF
eontributory retirement fund started.
The delay has been caused by doubt
as TO whether certain heads of depart
ments would allow such a petition to
circulate, but such doubts have all been
removed, and to-day the petition viii
start on its rounds.
It is hoped by those in favor of the
measure, whose immediate passage the
petition urges. that some action may be
taken by the present Congress; indeed, 1t
is hoped that some rsethod of relief will
be found before July /, at which time
/ the additional force of clerks are to be
dismissed. owing to lack of work for
them.
1t is probable that the petition OF the
clerks wifi be submitted TO the several
members of President Tafts Cabinet in
the hope of getting them to sign it and
thus bring additional pressure 10 bear
upon Congress-
one Of the leaders among the clerks In
the District. who admits that there is
some difference OF opinion among the
clerks as q body as TO the best method
of obtaining relief, has drawn up the
arguments in favor of the contributory
plan. as follows:
For COntributOry Plan.
/. As economy is the watchword of the
hour, It Is a foregone conclusion that
Congress will make no provision for re-
tirement except on this plan. II is this
plan or nothing.
.. The retirement of aged clerks will
lead TO the promotion of the younger
clerks. who contribute from their sala-
ries 10 the retirement fund.
8. To be compelled TO save a small per-
centage Of his salary each year cannot
be considered a hardship by any civil
service employee. If he is separated from
the service before the retirement age, his
contributions are returned to him. with
interest: or, in case of death, his heirs
receive the fun amount contributed. with
interest. This system is nothing. more
than a mild application of compulsory
saving and compulsory insurance.
T. 1t is a brotherly system, those who
remain in the service advancing FUNDS
20 install a system which will be Of inn
mediate benefit to those who are IN
capacitated. It is not a selfish or mer-
cenary plan.
8. Il is proposed as a part of the con-
tributory plan that Congress, for several
years to come, shall appropriate cut OF
the Treasury funds a pension to those
now nearing retirement age. Eventually.
however. the system VIII be self-sustain-
ing. and there is no danger of q perma-
nent civil pension list
g. Il is claimed and can easily be DEM
onstrated, that 95 per cent Of civil serv-
ice employees who want a retirement
measure Of any kind favor the contribu-
tory plan. Sentiment on the matter is
practically unanimous.

LIGHTNING Rods.

VIZ believe that Benjamin Franklin was the
father Of the lightning rod and any way, the
father of the American lightning rod. his sue
cess with his famous kite in drawing from the
heavens the lightning down to the earth is the
story of our school boy days with which all are
familiar. AS the lowest orders Of men early
began to appreciate the power Of lightning, 1t IS
very natural that when any protective device IS
thought to free one from such danger that the
device should become popular.
Lightning rods were such devices and light
ming rod peddlers for fifty years have enjoyed,
or endured, a worse reputation than even the
noted vendors of books. After all these years
| Of varying judgment in favor Of lightning rods
and against them, DR.. Elihu Thomas in a recen'
discussion of the discoveries made by Franklin
saws that he regrets that there seems to be
growing belief in the uselessness of lightning
rods and perhaps in the incidental danger o
having such rods. He attributes much OF tn
unpopularity to the dishonest lightning rod me
who have so frequently made worthless lnsta
l~ations. His view Of the matter, however, as
scientific man and expressed in an address ds
livered by him before the Palmer physical lab'

to work and endure fatigue has increased to an
amazing degree.
Ed;son's conclusions are confirmed by medl-
cal science, which declares that practlcaliy

It is claimed by some that our feeding hafhts
do not compare so far as quantity IS concerned,
with those a century or two ago and not ever

IS found that most persons eat too much an(

fact that in burning fuel oil under boilers a
