WOMAN sMUGGtER GIVEN FIRST
JAIL SENTENCE ON
RECORD

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Roberta
Menges Corwinn Hill, who enjoys the
unique distinction of being the first
woman smuggler ever sentenced to
Jail for that crime, spent the night in
cell in the Tombs last night. She
has not yet recovered from the hys-
terical condition that followed the
realization that she would not be per-
mitted to expiate her crime by the
payment of fine. and still insists
that she has been dealt with very un.
justly, inasmuch as other women who
have struggled into the country arti-
cles of a far greater value than the
$4,000 worth she brought have got
off with fine.
1t is intimated today tnat various
federal judges have decided that the
next offender against the smuggling
laws, whether man or woman, will be
sent to the penitentiary and not to
city prison as it is the intention to
attempt by strict measures to break
up the practice.

IMPORTANT TO TAX PAYERS.

The following circular letter from
State Auditor Leddy to County Treas
urer Frary is self-explanatory, and MIR.
Frary informs the Herald that he Will
comply strictly to the law and that
interest on the first half of taxes will
he charged after March /.
AUDITOR OF STATE,
Denver, Colo, Jan. 10. 1911.
Mr.. Oren p. Frary,
Durango, Colo.
Dear Sir:
am enclosing transcripts from the
revised statutes sections 553S and $3.50
appearing on pages 1902 and 1341 re-
spectively, which pertain to the col.
lection OF interest on delinquent taxes
You will kindly observe this law to the
letter
In a number OF counties 1t has been
customary to overlook interest on de-
linquent taxes when not long overdue,
and in many cases where the tax for
the first installment was delinquent
and taxes for the second installment
paid previous to the stated time, Aug.
|, the treasurers have figured that one
offset the other and no interest was
charged.
AS this does not comply with the
law, please see that interest is col
lected on delinquent taxes on the first
half, regardless OF when the second In
stallment was paid.
Considerable trouble has arisen on
this account and In the future / shall
hold the treasurer responsible for the
collection of interest on delinquent
taxes.
Yours very truly.
M. A. LEDDY.

he congratulated the winning side
upon their success, and while he would
be somewhat disappointed, he would
lend every assistance to getting work
under Roadway to secure the title for

every citizen would drop craftsmanship
and get In line for the new building.
At least this was his understanding
