Derived from Whisky, To-
'bacco, Cigar and the Like
is Larger This Year.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
Internal revenue collections in West
Virginia for the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1912, showed slight in
crease over those for the preceding
year, according to the annual report
OF the commissioner OF internal rev.
enue, Just made public. The tax
collected on distilled spirits in
creased materially; that on fer
mented liquors increased slightly;
that on cigars aad stogles increased
largely, while that on manufactured
tobacco and excise tax on corpora
tlons showed decrease.
The report shows that the total
collections for the fiscal year were
$1,799,445.62, while the collections
for the preceding year had been ST.
I7SS,S61.S1.
West Virginia produced during
the year for which the report is
made 294,117 gallons of distilled
spirits, most of it being made at
Martinsburg. The output for the
preceding year was 171,743 gal
Ions. I-yv
The output of rermented liquors
for the year aggregated $40, 142
barrels, while for the previous year
| IL was 363,33O barrels.
Tho number Of cigars and stogies
manufactured in West Virginia dur
ing the year was 144.19O,992, com
pared with 1S6,710,462 for the
preceding year.
The quantity of manufactured to-
baccoo manufactured in West yir-
ginia decreased from 6,577,999
pounds in 1910 to 6,477,9S9 pounds
in 1912.
The net income of the corporations
in West Virginia subject to the col-
poratIon tax was $22, 466,272.53 for
the last fiscal year and $2S.6S2,-
26o.37 for the preceding year.
While the salaries of the col
lectors OF internal revenue are fixed
by the amount of the collections,
the adoption OF the prohibition
amendment will not affect the salary
of the collector for West Virginia,
as his collections would amount to
enough to keep the salary up to the
maximum, even II all the tax paid
on whiskey, beer and similar liquors
is deducted from his total collec-
tlons. 81,

Baltimore, July 3.-Governor Wilson

total 733, breaking the long deadlock
that had excited in the democratic
convention since early Friday.
The final break to Governor Wood

Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston then with.
drew Governor Foos from considera-

By this time it was apparent Wilson
would win on the forty-sixth ballot and
the convention was in an uproar, de-
laying the call for long while.
Wilson gained 1O8 votes on the forty
third ballot, the first cast today, and
the hoped-for break appeared at hand.
Illinois So delegates propelled the
movement and gains were made also
from Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Louis
lana, Maryland, Michigan, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Virginia, Wisconsin
and Hawaii.
Wilson's vote was COZ, majority of
the convention. It was the highest
vote he had received and the vote of
329 cast for Mr.. Clark was the lowest
received by him during the prolonged
balloting. When the result was an
