REAL ESTATE, OWNERS
OBJECT TO LEGISLATION

Two State laws were opposed at q
meeting of the Real Estate Owners
improvement Association held last
night at headquarters. IS Barclay
street. One law opposed was that
providing for the payment of L per
cent. interest on all overdue taxes.
The other law to which the mem
bers took exception was the dis
possess act. It was claimed that too
much time was taken up with the
dispossess trials and that they are
too costly. AS general rule it takes
five days for case to come to trial,
1t was said, after which there is a
stay of three days granted. The cost
of a summons averages $40, record
ing the case 81. and about SO or 81 for
dispossessing.

PRIZE FIGHT SKETCH
HEADS PROCTOR BILL

Marty Hogan's VIM a story of
the prize ring told in two scenes,
takes first honors at Proctor's Thea
ire this week. 1t tells a story of
a young former fighter broke and
about to quit New York for the
woods of Canada He tells his
girl and she pleads with him to
remain. Marty declares there
nothing he can do, when she sees an
advertisement on a billboard offer
ing $500 for anyone that can stay
with Young Casey. lightweight
worlds champion. Marty takes the
chance and the curtain goes up on a
prize ring on the stage of the Tiyoli
Theatre.
After a hard fight in which he is
floored twice, Marty presents a sleep
producer TO Young Casey and the
girl, $500 and New York is his.
Giving the fight sketch a race for
stellar honors are Brown Brothers,
whose act runs from sidewalk patter
to roller skate antics. and from their
appearance until they fall" off. the
audience is unable to stop laughing
Their piano playing and dancing are
clever but when the skates are in
troduced-well, there were some in
the theatre that were not hystericaL
The Artistic Trio give a clever mu-
steal act playing on the harp and
violin, while the young woman of the
act sings Her voice is probably
very good. but the volume of music
is too great for her to overcome, and
it is doubtful If those seated in the
rear of the theatre could hear her.
Harold Crane and Florence Mackie

to the Heart are an excellent COM
bination and give a very pretty and
pleasing skit. Their voices are good
and their acting clever.

death when struck by an automobile
yesterday at Chestnut and South Clin-

The process outlined for bluing gun

cal reference books, according to The
pharmaceutical Era, is generally salts

gun barrel be cleaned free of grease,
oil or varnish, and quite warm when
the hot solution of lead acetate and
sodium hyposulphite is applied. AS
soon as the color develops the barrel
should be washed, wiped dry, and fin
ished with boiled linseed oil. Here are
some other formulas:
Clean every part carefully, and apply

"Luxuries" We Buy Abroad.

Our vanity never grows less, Il
lseems, and our love of something thai
Others cannot get goes on increasing
lour national imports. A statement
dust issued by the national secretary
of commerce is as interesting as it is
lenlightening. 1t shows that the tota1
!value of the imports of those articles
known as luXuries, such as art works,
precious stones, laces, feathers, per-
fumeries, cigars, wines, and the like,
for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1913,
will be greater than ever before, judg-
ling from the figures for the nine
months ended with March, 1913.
The value of art works imported
during the first nine months of the
current fiscal year is over 50 million
dollars as compared with less than SO
million for the corresponding months
of last year and about 20 million in
the same months of 1911 and 1910. This
lis a new high record. Impertations of
cthNi pi1AiohS StCiiN2
amounted to about So million dollars
this year as against 80 million in each
of the two preceding years. This total
has beer exceeded only in 1910 when
the importations were ahnormaliy
large by reason of the very light inn
portations of 1908 and 1909. Laces, en-
broideries. and other articles of this
class show total for the nine months
amounting To about SO million dollars,
Slightly less than for the correspond
ing months of 1912, but more than in
1911. Wines imported amounted to
about ~ million dollars, an increase
of about half n million dollars over
last year Imports of feathers, nat
ural and artificial, reached go million
dollars this year as against 6ia million
last year, ostrich feathers alone show
ing gain of about million dollars.
Some striking increases are shown
by comparison of the value of the
imports of articles of this general
class for the first nine months of this
year with the imports for the CORE
spending period of 1900. OF art works,
the imports in the first nine months OF
the fiscal year 1900 We're valued at but
n little over million dollars, as com
pared with 50 million in 1918. The
chief increase in this class has oc-
Cured since the enactment of the eX
listing tariff law which placed art
works twenty years old and over upon
the free list Diamonds and other pre-
cious stones for 1900 show a total i'm
portation of but II million dollars
value, compared with 80 million for

cries, etc, 15k million dollars value in
1900 against 30 million for 1913.

who will not go to church and who
hold themselves to their own element
of illiteracy morally degrading GUS

"Maine's New Experience"

Prohibition is no longer a joke i'll
Maine Governor Haines is doing his
utmost to see that it prohibits. And
the people of the State, who seem te
be almost equally divided on the issue
are considering it in new light as d
practical rather than abstract ques-
ton.
Three years ago the issue of en-
forcement or repeal was squarely
raised A Democratic State admins
tration submitted the question to the
people. The result was SO close that
it took State inquiry to get the
figures. The earlier returns showed
that repeal had carried by 20 major
ity. Revision reversed this and gave
majority of 700 for retention of the
law The official recount made this
nearly 500 but disclosed such hap
hazard, if not fraudulent methods.
that this was taken as at best only an
approximation. Last year the Re-
publicans gained control, pledged to
strict enforcement. Before that en-
forcement had rested largely in the
discretion of the sheriffs and it was
an enforcement in spots only. Gov
ernor Haines began by removing those
| sheriffs who failed to enforce law, ana
now il is said Maine is to all intents
and parposes living under prohibi-
| ton that prohibits.
| The cities are for repeal the coun-

in each, although there is strong
