DELINQUENTS RUSH COIN
TO APPEASE COLLECTOR
Confiscation of Goods Not Necessary to Bring Long
Delayed Tax Payments to Charles
c. Rogers Office

Mr.. Rogers was SO pleased at the
punctuality with which the delinquents
called to see him that he telephoned to
the livery stable that the vans would
not be needed at that time. Never be-
fore in the history of the office has so
much money been paid over the desks In
so short a period
There are more than 1900 accounts on
the books of the office. The levy
amounts to more than $1,0S9,0O0. There
is in reality about $4,000 now unpaid, but
fully $4,000 is never expected to be re-
ceiyed by the office. This is because OF
the disputes over the assessments leVled
by the District assessors on personal
property. Many of the people OF the
District complain that the assessments
are too great. Part of the $4,000 is un-
paid because of the death of persons,
the exchange of property, and other
such matters that have to be settled first
in the courts.
Mr.. Rogers is determined, however. TO
resort to the plan OF confiscation II the
number of delinquents again becomes
unreasonably large. Many seizures have
been made in the past, but the goods are
usually redeemed before being placed
on sale at public auction by the Dis
trict officials Some of the merchants
think that Mr.. Rogers plan for the
seizure of goods is only a means OF
frightening the delinquents into making
their payments. But the vans have made
numerous trips around the city already,
and the trips have proved that the Dis
trict collector of taxes means business.

ARNOLD ESCAPES
DEATH IN GLIDE
FLYER Floats to Earth with
Engine PoWerless.

His engines powerless at a height of
LOO, Lieut.. H. NJ. Arnold escaped death
at the army aviation school at College
Park yesterday, when he glided to earth
in a spectacular volpIane. His engines
baIked a third of a mile above ground,
and the prOpellers became motionless.
Lieut. Arnold saw there was nothing to
do but glide, glide, and keep on GID
ing and so he glided. To the relief of
spectators he landed safely on the avia-
tion field.
Capt Beck furnished some excitement
when he flew to Benning race track after
crcling Mount Rainier and Riverdale.
The trip back from the track was made
at an average speed of eighty-five miles
an hour, shattering his previous speed
records. The distance is five miles. Capt.
Beck used the Curtiss racing machine
in which he flew to Benning on Labor
Day.
The code that has been prepared by
the aviatOrs for aerial conversation is
completed and the different phrases will
be practiced by the officers. Night flights
will be added to the programme of the
army aviators. Plans for the correct po-
sition of guiding fires are now under dis
Cussion.
The success of Lieut.. Thomas De Witt
Milling at the Boston meet, where he
won a prize for CrOss-COuntry flying of
$3.50, and incidentally defeated Harry
n Atwood, who had dubbed him
novice was the principal topic of con-
versatior at College Park yesterday.
Lieut.. Milling, who by his flying in the
Burgess Wright machine has gained
name as one of the foremost of American
aviatOrs. was given permission by the
War Department to compete in the meet
as a private aviator.

Brought to terms by the statement
last week of Charles c. Rogers, District
tax collector, that he intended to start
out yesterday morning with six large
moving vans to seize the goods of mer-
chants who had failed to pay their per-
sonal taxes, hundreds of persons have
come to the District Building within the
last few days and Strengthened out their
accounts.
Last week there were about $4,000 Of
personal taxes that had not been paid.
Since the statemnt was made public that
Hr. Rogers intended to cOnfiscate the
goods of delinquents, 800 persons have
called at the little windows on the first
floor of the District Building and passed
through their bills and checks. There
is now only about $4,000 unpaid.
Yesterday morning when the clerks
arrived at the office there was line or
delInquents extending from the tax col
lector's door far down the corridor. The
clerks for the past week have been
working overtime because of the great
number of persons who have hurried to
the office to avoid the inconvenience Of
having one of the six vans call at the
store and take away their personal
property. Saturday afternoon the de-
IinQuents came into the office in steady
stream even long after closing hours.
How they got past the watchmen at the
entrances is not known, but IT is thought
that the fear of disgrace drove many
of them to take desperate measures to
pay up before the fatal Tuesday morn

Girls to Open Soon.
The National Cathedral School for
Girls was opened by the Right Rev. Henry
Yates Satterlee, b. D.. LII. D., first

Cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul.
Miss NJ. w. Bruce, of New York, COM
pIemented the gift of Mrs. Hearst by
placing in the hands of the bishop a
liberal sum which was used to equip
and furnish the school.
The standard of education in the
Cathedral School for Girls is in accord
ance with the ideals of intellectual train
ing and requirement now generally ac-
cepted by our best schools and colleges.
The school curriculum offers every ad-
vantage for developing and strengthen
ing mental efficiency, not only through
imparting a wide knowledge OF facts, but
through training and exercise of the
powers of observation and thought so
that the pupils may form right habits
of study and reflection which they may
carry with them through life.
The assembly hall is a spacious room,
with windows on three sides, and the
classrooms are large, well ventilated, and
sunny.
Astronomical observations are made
from the roof.
The gymnasium is thoroughly equipped
with modern scientific apparatus.
The cathedral grounds give ample space
for games, and are provided with basket
ball fields and tennis courts.
instruction in riding is given by mas
ter of acknowledged ability, and separate
classes for beginners and advanced
riders are formed, the beautiful Rock
Creek Park Offering ample opportunity
for road lessons.

MAINE WRECKED
FROM THE INSIDE
Loss OF 6ATTLEsHIP CAUSED BY
EXPLOSION OF HER THREE
MAGAZINES, SAYS sIxeY.
Chief Of Engineers Declares There Are
Numerous Conditions Of the Hulk
Which Prove That Explosions
Occurred inside the Ship.

Washington.-The loss of the bat
tleship Maine was caused by the expIo
sion OF her three magazines. No sucf
eject as that produced upon the YES
sci could have been caused by an ex
plosion from without.
Such Is the opinion OF General viii
liam H. Bixby. chief of engineers u
3. A.. who has returned from a per
sonal inspection of the work of rails
ing the Maine.
The caisson built around the wreck
In Havana harbor has met every ex
pectation of its designers, in the opin
ion Of General Bixby. He explained
that delays in the work were because
1t was necessary that the wreck be
exposed by easy stages More time
than had been expected was expended
after the first pumping in clearing
away debris and mud.
General Bixby said that portion OF
the deck over the magazine was blown
upward and laid backward and there
We're numerous conditions of the hulk
which proved that no explosion from
the outside said General Bixby. could
have caused the same result.
What the primary cause OF the ex,
plosion was" said General Bixby
never will be learned"
General Bixby does not believe the
bodies OF those who lost their lives
viii be found in the Maine. He says
they are probably buried 200 feet or
more from the wreck In the mud.
While inspecting the work, General
Bixby prodded around the bow of the
vessel. He found by his soundings
that at least two-thirds of the bow
was absolutely wrecked The sides
had been practically blown away, and
were buried in the mud. This, he said,
showed conclusively that the wreck OF
he Maine was caused by an explosion
within the vessel
