REPORT ON MECHANICS LIENS.
Pipers Creditors VIII Secure Por'
ton by Their Claims on Bend
helm Building.

A report was filed today by Louis
N. Duffey, special commissioner in
the suit of Henry X. Field G. Com
pany and others against D. Bendheim
& Sons to secure from the latter the
unpaid balance held by them on the
contract for their new building on
King street.
When NJ. F. Piper, the Washington
contractor, failed to settle the &C
counts Of the firms supplying mater
iaI and supplies for the building me,
chanics liens were issued against the
Bendheims for the balance of the
contract.
Commissioners Duffey finds that the
claims filed against the building
amount to over $1,000, but only
$4,12s.40 is allowed The Bendheims
have on hand 50, 2O5 which remains
to Piper's credit and of this sum $500
is awarded them for defective work
leaving remainder Of S1,4O5 to be
divided among the holders of the al
lowed claims.
1t is expected that number of ex-
ceptions will be taken to Mr.. Duffey's
report when it is heard in the Cor
.poration Court.
Piper was one of the best known
contractors in Washington, having
undertaken work Of the largest mag
nitude, when he secured the contract
for the new Bendheim building. He
was given unlimited credit by Alex
andria merchants but just before
making his final settlement with his
creditors his health gave way and he
left Alexandria without a moment
notice, leaving a balance of $4,000 in
the hands of Messrs. D. Bendheim &
Sons.

TURN CREEK INTO FIERY MINE
Men viii Meanwhile Rest While Stream
COmbats Flames.

Shamokin, Pa, July 25.-Owing to 9
fire in the Enterprise mine operated by
the Connell Coal Company, Scranton
under a lease by the Philadelphia &
Reading Coal and Iron Company, the
colliery was closed today for an in
definite period, 500 employees being
rendered idle.
While making an examination OF
the mine to fight the fire, officials de-
cided to turn a creek channel which
passes the colliery into the mine, and
steps were promptly taken to put the
plan into effect. An air hole was lc-
Gated which had the same elevation
as the creek bed, and a force of mel
began constructing channel fro n
the stream to the mine breach.
1t is expected the work would be
completed tonight and that water
would be flowing into the mine by

Tax Of $50 on This Type Of
Man May Come

Atlanta, July 25-If the house
adopts the action of the ways and
means committee, lobbyists registerin2
on any proposition hereafter will come
across with $50 to enrich an impover-
ished treasury.
There was no division of opinion on
this matter, except the subcommittee
recommendation of a $25 tax was
raised to $50.
There was also sharp discussion
over increasing the automobile tax re
sulting in fixing fiat rate of S. per
annum for registration. 1t is estimar-
ed that this will bring in $125,000 next
year as $4,000 machines will be regis
tered by that time 1t is an inter
esting commentary that the warmest
advocates of this tax were men WHO
owned one to four machines.
Occupation Tax Doubled.
The occupation tax on domestic and
foreign corporations was doubled. 1t
now runs from S. to 500 and the COM
mittee action increases from $40 to
5000. The amount is graded, accord
ing to capitalization.
All soft drink bills before the COM
mittee were killed, the tax remaining
unchanged The tax on automatic bot
thing plants was increased. One head

Want TEN MILLIONS
TO FIGHT WEtVIL
Southern Senators Believe In
sect Can Be Wiped Out

Washington, D. c., July Pa more
aggressive fight against the spread OF
the boil weevil which is devastating
the Southern cotton fields, was today
determined upon at a conference be-
tween senators and representatives
from Southern states and agricultural
department officials. The conference,
called at the suggestion of Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana, agreed that all
the government resources should be
brought into the field against the in =,
sect.
In the course of discussion, Senator
Vardaman declared that congress
should make avilable ten million dol
lars Immediately to aid the department
of agriculture in it's fight against the
pest. Several of the other members
of congress present agreed with Mr.
Vardaman.
Work is Effective.
Senator Ransdell, in opening the dis
cussion, declared that there was ur-
gent need for an Immediately more az,
gressive fight against the boil weeyil
instead of the indirect methods now
employed by the department. In reply
it was pointed out that these methods
thus far had proved effective and that
they could be made more so through
the extension of the work.
E. F. Evans, an expert of the depart
ment, declared that there was only a
small section in Mississippi and Lou
isiana where the boil weevil could not
be checked through proper agricul-
tural methods. He said there were not
enough men in the work to reach the
vast territory involved and urged that
the demonstration work be extend
ed.
