CONSCIENCE FUND"
HAS DECREASED
During Past 100 Years Government
Has Received Contributions Ag-
gregating Nearly $5OO,OOO.

Washington. July 7.-Fewer peni-
tents, tortured by the still small
voice" confessed and surrendered
conscious money" to the federal
government during the fiscal year
1913 than for many years. The
conscience fund" received during
the II months ended June 30, total
led only $2,81444. the lowest
amount since 1901 and comparable
with hundred-year average of
$4,000.
That fund is the only official index
to scruples but no treasury official
attempts to explain the decrease in
sestitution OF money received from
the government by fraud or error.
During the past 100 years, the gov
ernment has received conscience con
tributions aggregating nearly a half
million dollars, the actual figures up
to June 80 last being $434, 1855.
The remarkable fund was established
during President Madisor's admins
tration 1911, when the first con
tribution of S5 was received. The
largest amount ever received i'm one
year was $35, ,S6S in 1902. and the
greatest individual contribution of
S1S,669.6O was made to the collec-
tor OF customs in New York more
than a decade ago by an unknown
person who probably had defrauded
the government of tariff duties.
Treasury officials surround the
fund with certain degree of sacred
ness. Usually the penitent sends his
contribution anonymously, but if he
signs his name his secret is locked In
the archieves of the government II
is the one place in the federal estab-
lishment where a contrite sinner NAV
make confession and amends with
out the slightest danger of prosecu-
ton.

SUNDAY BLUE LAWS.
Washington Actually Dry For First
Time i'm It's History.


Washington, July 6.-washington
was catually "dry" today, probably
for the first time in it's history. This
was the first Sunday OF the now
Jones-Works excise law for the Dis
trict of Columbia and its strict pro-
visions were enforced to the letter.
Not even a bona-fide registered
guest at hotel could have a drink
with a meal. The exclusive clubs
could serve nothing. Their officers
had been warned that the fIocker
system" would be construed as a vio-
lation OF the law. They also were
notified that liquors actually bought
on Saturday could not be iced and
served on Sunday.
So stringent is the new plan that
the purchases OF common alcohol
for medicinal or commercial pur-
poses at drug stores are registered
In the same way as dangerous pois-
ons.

FEROCIOUS FIGHTING.

The Servian wounded describe the
battles as almost inhuman in their
ferocity, the men throwing away
their firearms and using their bayo-
nets as daggers. ThYs accords with
the information from many sources
of the bloody fighting in the present
struggle.
Whatever the policy of the Euro
pean powers may be, little is now
heard of attempts to stop the war.
The ambassadorial conference met
emily did little except discuss the
boundaries of Albania
Meanwhile Roumania and Turkey
give signs that they will not long be
idle spectators and the Balkan states
may contiue the struggle which will
paralyze them for years to come.
News of the fighting continues con-
Trajectory. 1t is almost invariably
from official sources; no Independent
testimony is available.
GREEKS FORGING AHEAD.
A Salonial dispatch says the
Greeks have occupied Demirhissir
and Strumitza, and, according to the
most likely information, the Bull
garian General, Ivanoff, has been
slowly retiring before the superior
Greek forces northward.
Another dispatch asserts that
General 1vanoff, by an unexpected at
tack, scattered the Greek army of
$4,000 commanded by King Constan-
tine, and occupied Nigrita and other
points on the Greek line.
Both reports may be correct, and
that crediting victory to General
lvanoff may refer to a date after the
bulgarian commander was rein
forced.
Detailed reports from Greek Off
cial sources describe how the Bull
garians last week by incessant labor
mad transformed Kilkish into an
other P.evna with a surprising extent
OF trenches, guns, and defenses, and
assert that the Greeks by their sue
cessful advance prevented the execu-
tion OF plan for a Bulgarian attack
on Saloniki.

today is the report, confirmed from

more significant, as tending to con-
firm the belief that the Servians are
suffering defeat, is the announce
ment from Belgrade that only
meager reports are being received
from the Servian army headquarters.
in addition, a rigorous censorship on
the newspapers is being enforced.

ARE MUCH INJURED
Wilson's Decision to FOreg0 Inaug-
ural Ball Causes Loss.

New York-In all parts of the coun-
try the decision of President-elect
Wilson to have no inaugural ball has
dismayed modistes and milliners. It
is estimated that the omission Of the
traditional Washington festival will
mean a loss of 1900, 900 to them,
this amount being usually spent for
gowns, hats, wraps and clothes spe-
cially designed for the event. Some
orders given in tentative way had
already been received here for gowns
to be worn at the ball, and those who
had set the machinery in motion to
get them expressed keen disappoint-
ment. The styles which would have
been appropriate for the ball would
not have been actually ready until
early next month, as this is now be-
tween seasons and the dressmaking es-
Establishments are working with re-
duced forces.
There would have been many orders
for gowns in some establishments.
One large house which was about to
establish a branch temporarily in
Washington hotel to look after the
supplying of Inauguration costumes,
decided not to do so. Another estab-
lishment is in receipt of several orders
for gowns suitable for the function
and is uncertain whether to proceed
with the making of the garments.

HAVE WIDE CHOICE IN COATS
Not for Many Years Has There Been
Such a Large and Excellent Variety
from Which to Select.

Certain short draped coats Of sup
pie fur rounding away in the front are
launched by extremists, who are push
Ing the pegtop silhouette, but they are
by no means graceful even for the
slender woman, and are not likely to
be taken seriously by the women in
this country.
Some Russian coats of half length
or longer button up the left front,
close on the left shoulder, and have
high, close collars finished at the top
by a narrow band of contrasting fur.
A model Of this type usually is loosely
belted or girdled across the back, If
not all around, and the model, while
good-looking If well worn, is becoming
only to the exceptional woman.
Many of the new fur coats are made
without collars for greater convenience
In the wearing of separate neck furs.
Innings are often of the handsome
brocades, and in some of the most
luxurious garments these Innings are
SO rich in themselves that they add
greatly to the cost of the coat.

FISHER FAVORS RECEPTION
Secretary Would Have Affair in Ro-
tunda Displace Inaugural Ball.

Washington, D. C.-President-elect
Wilson's inauguration, according to
Secretary of the Interior Fisher,
should be celebrated by ''p pular re-
ception in the rotunda of the capitol,
with no charge for admission" rather
than by an inaugural ball in the pen
sion building. Mr.. Fisher expressed
his views in a letter to Senator
Sutherland and Representative Shep-
pard, chairmen, respectively, of the
senate and house committees on public
buildings and grounds. Mr.. Fisher
suggested that congress take charge
of the Inauguration celebration and
make the necessary appropriations
therefor.
An appropriation of 500, 900 would
involve far less loss to the taxpayer,
he said, ethan is incurred directly and
indirectly in the existing practice. +"
To meet the expenses of inaugural
balls charge.of SIS has been made for
tickets, with an additional charge for
the subsequent concerts, supper, seats
in the grandstand and so on. Presi-
dent Taft's inaugural ball made mon
ey. A guarantee fund of $50, 72O was
raised, and the receipts were, $95, 1928.

WATCH TARIFF is IN LINE
Aluminium Declared to Be in Hands
of Monopoly.

Washington, D. C. = Democratic
members of the house committee on
ways and means are planning to exam
inc closely the affairs of the Alumni
mum Company. of America and the
Waltham Watch company, when their
representatives testify in an adjourned
hearing on the metal tariff schedule
Each company has been charged with
being a trust.
One day will be devoted to the tariff
schedule covering wood and its manu-
features, and silks and silk goods.
Neither of these schedules was affect
ed by Democratic revision attempted
in the last session of congress.
John P. Barlew, of New York, rep
resenting clients interested in the
aluminium duty, has filed with the COM
mittee a brief alleging that the alum
mum industry practically is in the
hands of the one concern, the Alumni
mum Company of America, controlling
substantially all the sources of alumni
mum in the country.
Arthur V. Davis, of Pittsburg, rep
resenting the Aluminium company,
has been urged by the committee to
appear at the hearing.
E. C. Fitch, of Waltham, is expect
ed to represent the watch concern.
The American watch manufacturers
want specific duty basis instead of
the Democratic plan of 80 per cent adj
valorem on watch movements.
