CORPORATIONS PR0DDED
TO HURRY TAX PAYMENTS
Revenue Collector Parker Mails
Second Notices

Claude I. Parker, internal revenue
collector for this district, has mailed
second notices to all corporations
which have not paid the corporation
tax, and as June 80 is the last day
allowed by law before the assessments
become delinquent, Collector Parker IS
of the opinion that the final rush VIII
be so great that some will be unable
to pay in time and on being left out
will have to pay penalty.
This tax is levied by the government
from reports showing the corporations
net incomes from January l to De-
cember 81, 1909. About 100000 has
been assessed against the corporations
of this district, but up to the present
time only $S0,000 has been paid in.
Collector Parker has done all in his
power to prevent delinGuencies and
penalties, but the majority of the cor
poration officials have not appeared
with their tax money. June 80 is also
the last day on which special taxpayers
may make their final payment, there
fore Collector Parker and his assist
ants will be very busy.
The failure of corporations to pay by
June 80 subjects them to a penalty OF
per cent and an additional charge of
1 per cent for every month that the
tax remains delinquent.

KING EMMANUEL DUBS
CLEVELANDER KNIGHT
Becomes ChevaIHr for Acts Done
for People

CLEVELAND, June 25.-Caesar A.
Grasseli, head of the Grasselli Cheml-
cal company of Cleveland, has been
made a knight of the crown of Italy.
News of the comforting of the honor
has just reached DR.. n. Cerri, italian
consul in Cleveland.
In conferring this decoration King
Emmanuel Of Italy followed the policy
to which he and his government have
been committed Of hOnoring by
bnighthood Italians and descendants
of Italians who have brought honor
countries. In making Mr.. Grasselli a
chevaler Of the kingdom, the monarch
has recognized not only what he has
done Tor his people in cleveland, but
what he personally has done in the
public and private life of the city and
state.
AS an example Of how closely the
Italian government follows the careers
of it's people who emigrate, it may be
mentioned that c. A. Crasselli is two
generations removed from the land
over which Victor Emmanuel holds
sway. In the confusion attendant
upon the Napoleonic wars, c. A. Gras-
sellis grandfather emigrated to Ger
many, where he founded a chemical
works. Later, he came to America
and settled in Cincinnati where G. A.
Grassellf's father was born, as was the
newly accredited chevalier.
Official papers and insignia are eX-
pected to reach Mr.. Grasselli within
ten days following the cabled an
nouncement to DR.. Cerri.

ANTI-D0G AGITATION
UNPOPULAR IN TURKEY
People of ConstantinopIe Befriend
CANNES on Religious Grounds

CONSTANTINOPLE June 25.-
There is something like a social revolt
here over the suggestion that the city
shall get rid of its dogs. 1t is said
that when the dogs We're banished be-
fore war with Russia followed, and
the Turkish reVerses We're popularly
attributed to the evil results of the
banishment of the dogs. The dog is
an unclean animal, according to the
Mussulman belief and one is never
allowed inside the door of a believer.
But the dog is an outcaSt. and the
Koran directs the followers Of Ma
homet to help the outcast. The Mus
sulman is, therefore, logical in eX-
cluding the unclean animals from his
house and, on the other hand, giving
the outcast the freedom Of the streets
and feeding him with refuse.
The dog is, however, a source Of
disease and of frequent pestilence.
According to the director Of the Pas
teur institute in Constantinople, there
are 10000 dogs at large in the streets,
which suffer from all sorts of disease
that they spread around. Their dead
bodies give rise to a curious industry.
Certain of the intestines are of fine
skinlike quality, and these are re-
moved and shipped, to America chief
". for the making of fine gloves. They
are made up in sacks of twelve pounds
each, for which SO cents is charged,
rate of $3.50 per cwt.. and the export
of these intestines is estimated at TO-
900 sacks. A thousand persons live by
this industry. Perhaps that explains
the agitation against the banishment
Of the dog.

COLORADO GENIUS lNVENTS
WONDERFUL NEW MACHINE

William /. Abbott of Denver has in
vented a house furnace that is also a
cook stove and a small power plant, ac-
cording to the New York Mercantile
and Financial Times. Its official name
is the Abbott Air and Electric machine.
The device consists Of a small gas en-
gine operating a duplex air compressor
of an entirely new type. This engine
is used to fill the air tank UP to a GER
tain pressure only. Then by the intro
duction of electric sparks into the tanks
the air is made to expand and the pres
sure is greatly increased. When the
maximum pressure is reached the COM
pressed air reacts upon a second engine
whose motive power is obtained from
the air itself 1t is this engine which
works without fuel and apparently
without cost, that continues to pump
air and to maintain a working pressure
in the air reservoirs. This air power
engine operates a dynamo which trans
forms the energy into an electric cur
rent that may be carried on wires to
any part of the building
The power thus supplied may be used
in lighting fixtures, heat radiators, cleo
trio cook stoves, motor running electric
fans, exhaust and Yentilating systems
and to pumps for raising water from
cisterna. wells, etc.

RELIGIOUS PROCESSION
ENDS IN PRIESTS DEATH

GENEVA, June ga religious pro-
cession and service at Altdorf, the chief
town in the canton of Uri, came to an
abrupt and tragic end
The procession, led by Cure Happier,
who was supported by acolytes, entered
the church and the priest, praying,
mounted the steps of the altar. When
all the persons were in the building the
priest faced the congregation and with
uplifted hands commenced to repeat
the benediction, when he swayed and
fell dead on the altar steps. A doctor
was soon on the spot, and he declared
that heart failure was the cause OF
death.
The congregation-the men with
bowed heads and the women in tears
quietly left the church, while the dead
priest was carried into the vestry. On
the previous Sunday Cure Happier S
sermon was from the text, In the
midst of life we are in death"

ORIGIN OF FIRE MYSTERIOUS

Reused from slumber by the crack
ling of flames, to find themselves
hemmed in by fire, three persons mar
rowly escaped death last night in a
fire of mysterious origin at the home
of Mrs. L. B. Foote at 431 North
Beaudry avenue. Jacob Gladman and
his wife and A. Lefcovitz, a relative
of Mrs. Gladman. occupied the rooms
in which the fire originated, and all
three We're painfully burned In fight
ing their way through the flames by
which thew We're surrounded. Daniel
Sweeney, a partial paralytic, who oc-
cupied a room directly over that of
the Gladmans, was overcome by
smoke and was carried from the apart
ment unconscious. but soon recovered
Gladman, when aroused by the fire
grasped his wife in his arms and.
dashing through the flames hurled
himself through the glass and screen
of the window of their room to the
roof of a porch at the front of the
house, carrying the woman with him.
Gladman sustained a number of pain
full burns about the arms and legs and
Mrs Gladman was burned about the
arms and shoulders. Lefcovitz ran
through the fire to the door of his
room and escaped into the hall, being
also burned about the arms and legs.
The flames were first discovered by
neighbors who, before the inmates of
the house knew of their peril. turned
in an alarm from box SO, ct Beaudry
and Temple streets. The fire had
gained considerable headway before
the arrival of the department, and only
by the prompt work on the part of the
firemen were the flames confined to
the rooms in which they had origi-
mated Neither Gladman nor his wife
could offer any explanation as to the
origin of the fire, nor could Lefcovitz
throw any light on its cause. The fur
niture of both rooms was totally de-
stroyed, the damage to the building,
however, being nominal.

Sultan Muley Hafid's reign cannot last

Some days ago the sultan sent the

citizens. This week he sent back three
heads stuck on spears and eleven prls-
