MAYOR ASKS PERSONAL
 TAX COLLECTORS TO
 RESIGN THEIR JOBS
Collectors Will Refuse to Comply and Demand Right Serve Out Their Terms-Make Statement Back Claim That They Have Shown High Degree of Efficiency

Mayor Wilson asked for the resig. nation of the three personal tax col lectors today. The request came in a letter delivered this forenoon to the office of the collectors. The nature of the letter has not yet been made public. Mayor Wilson is preparing a statement in connection with his re- quest for the collectors resignation. in which he will seek to discredit the administration of his predecessor, un- der whose regime the collectors were appointed.
 The personal tax collectors were ap- pointed last year for terms of four years each. There are three, John F. Kemple, Patrick Cuddy, and James Holt, Jr. The salaries are $1,450 per year, per man. Mayor Buckingham of his selections has been reflected in an unprecedented revenue from per- sonal tax collections, now consider ably over s32,000. It is estimated that the collectors will return more than s35,00O for their work of the fiscal year.
 The collectors were appointed to comply with the state laws authoriz, ing their appointment. The state levies upon the city for the personal tax, and unless an effort to collect the tax is made, the revenue raised from property tax and other sources must be used for the personal tax payment to the state.
 In other cities where efforts were made to effect the collections through the offices of the tax collector, by the employment of an additional clerk, the results have been unsuccessful Only a small peHcentage Of the per- scnal tax has been raised. W
 In this city, however, more than 75 per cent of the tax collectible from the original list will have been col lected before the end of the fiscal year. This list includes a large mum. Der who have been exempted by the mayor and common council by reason of physical disability. or other cause; number who are beyond 50, many who are exempt from service as mil itia men or soldiers of the regular army, and many others, who from various causes are not obliged to pay the personal tax.
 Warning of Mayor Wilson's proposed step came in his message to the com- mon council at it's first meeting, early this month He intflnaEed that such action as has now transpired would

INVESTIGATOR IS
 NARROWED IN AUTO WITH CRAZY WOMAN

To be marooned in a broken-down automobile with a raving crazy wo- man as his companion. was the odd experience that befell Investigator Alexander Morrissey of the Charities department, this morning, while con- veying Mary Kovac of PIP Pine street to Lakeview Home
 So badly demented was the woman that she fought like a wildcat when Investigator Morrissey went after her, bit, scratched and shrieked. He was forced to overpower her, strap her hand and foot, and bundle her into the rear of the machine. He then started out for Lakeview Home, but when he was driving along William street near Arctic a driving chain on his car broke and he was in a fix.
 He hastily sought a telephone and summoned the Emergency hospital ambulance, which completed the deliv- cry of Mrs. Kovacs to the Lakeview Home. Then a re, e,ief expedition was sent out from the Locomobile factory and MT. Morrissey's machine was fix ed.
 Mrs. Kovacs has been only three months in this country and will be de- ported as soon as the necessary legal steps can be taken. She was insane when brought here, and has been ar inmate of asylums tn Hungary.

MACDONALD LEFT
 ALL TO WIDOW
LATE MANUFACTURERS WILL ADMITTED TO PROBATE TODAY
 MADE OVER MUCH OF HIS PROPERTY TO WIFE EARLY IN HLNESS-ESTATE ESTIMATED
 AT $25.OOO.

Sophie B. Macdonald, widow of Thomas H. Macdonald, vice president of the board of education and con- sulting engineer and director of the American Graphophone Co.,. is the sole beneficiary under the will of the late manufacturer.
 Judge Hallen admitted the will to probate today. It is a brief docu- ment, containing only such provisions as are necessary tosconvey all his be- longings, real and personal, to his widow, after directing that all claims against his estate first be settled.
 The will was drawn up June 8, 1911, after MT. Macdonald's physi- clans had advised him that his ill., ness was such that they were not able to offer him encouragement for his ultimate recovery.
 Judge Hallen appointed Dr. c. c. Godfrey and Frank T. Staples ap- praisers. Mrs. Macdonald nominated in the will as eXecutrix qualified in the probate court this forenoon.
 MT. Macdonald is understood to have made over much of his property to Mrs. Macdonald early in his ill., ness.
 His estate has been variously esti- mated, but it is believed that his own property at the time of his death was in the neighborhood of S25,0OO.

HOPKINS HELD ON CHARGE OF BEING
 HABITuAL THIEF

The charge of being a habituale thief was the unusual allegation pressed against William c. Hopkins, arraign- ed tn the city court, this morning, for the theft of a bicycle. It was Hop kins' fourth or fifth appearance be- fore, the city tribunal on hef charges.
 Judge Foster ordered Hopkins held in bail of $200 for trial before the Su- perior court, "habitual thief'' being a conviction which permits of the bind ing-over process and a sentence to prison, although the particular offence for which Hopkins was arrested would not involve such severe punishment An additional sentence of 30 days in jail for drunkenness was also inn posed.
 Hopkins, who steals mostly for the purpose of getting little money for drinking purposes, appeared to be thoroughly disgusted with himself, as he sat in the office of Detective Cap tain Arnold
 '.Pd give you $50 if I had it, for you to hit me over the head with an axe,'' he said to Capt. Arnold.

 CHAMBER IN CORONER'S COURT
MT. Phelan Will Return to Ira ditional Policy of Proper
 Publicity in Important Offices

Hon. John J. Phelan will restore the office of coroner to it's former status, as it existed for many years under Coroner c. A. Doten until his death. MT. Phelan will pursue policy of publicity for the business of the cor oner's court, except in those. excep- tional cases where the premature dis closure of some fact, or facts, might impede the course of justice.
 This determination MT. Phelan stated to a representative of the Farmer, last night, in a brief conver- satiOn.
 The statute governing the duties of the coroner contemplates publicity in the proceedings before the coroner's court except upon certain occasions when injury might be caused by pre- mature publicity.
 MT. Phelan will also, it is said, file his records in accordance with law.
 MT. Phelan will take office Jan. 1. His term will expire in June. but there is no question regarding his re- appointment, reappointments of ef- ficient officers, being in accordance with the ractice of the judges in this state.

entitled, The Wrong Envelope" Mr..
Nj. a missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking him
to dine, and the other from the secre-
tary Of a religious society very old
friend, asking him to preach. He as
cepted the archbishops invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said TO him: "Mr. M,
do you always answer your dinner In
vitations in the same way?"

The letter, which was then shown to
the missionary, ran thus: "You old

Far above him Believer could see
that many persons had come out OF
the Hotel Cappuccini and were as
