STEAMER MAZATLAN SAILS
American Vessel With Coal Aboard
Finally Gets Clearance Papers
at San Francisco

San Francisco, Cal.-The American
steamer Mazatlan, whose clearance pa
pers from this port have been held
up several days because it was the be-
lief of local federal officials that she
intended to deliver 500 tons of sacked
coal at sea to a German cruiser, was
permitted to sail.
Her destination is Guaymas, Mex.
She was allowed to clear under in
structions from Washington to Col
lector of Port j. o. Davis.
The Mazatlaa was permitted to clear
provided that, should she discharge
her coal to a German cruiser such ac-
ton shall be construed as if the war
ship coaled in a neutral port. This
would bar the vessel of warning ma
ton for three months from coaling in
a neutral port.
The Mazatlan is under bond signed
by the local representatives of the
German government to carry out the
agreement. The Mazatlan is owned by
the German shipping firm of Frederick
Jebson & Company

BIG REVENUE COLLECTIONS
Federal Treasury Takes in Total of
S3oe,627,619 During Fiscal Year
Ending June 80.
Washington.

Washington, d. C.-The federal
treasury has collected total of $685.
627,619.27 in revenues during the fiscal
year ended June 80, according to the
report of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Osborn. This figure is a rec
ord breaker and shows collections to
have increased $50, 584y440@ over the
same period of 1913.
This increase is attributed to the in
come tax and it is confidently predict
ed that the next report twelve months
hence will be more han double. The
income tax was not levied for the full
twelve months. Collections from cor
porations and individuals totaled ST.
81 ,274, the remainder of the revenue
being derived from excise collections.
There was falling off in collections
on fermented liquors to the amount of
S4,781,165, but this loss was more than
made up by an increase of s2,666, 116
and on fermented liquors including the
special taxes of $814,522
OF the aggregate collections, Mis-
souri's two districts contributed S13,-
331,51S; Kansas $536,679, and Okla

EXPECT INDICTMENTS SOON

food prices has not been drawn in,
there were strong indications that at
least six grand juries soon will be
asked to return indictments against
dealers alleged to be in conspiracy to
violate the Sherman antitrust act.
Juries are almost certain to be ask
ed for indictments in Washington,
Chicago. Brooklyn and three other
cities, the names of which the depart
ment at present will not reveal. In
Chicago the effort to Jail offenders
will be made Immediately and in other
cities all expedition will be used.
Despite unwillingness of officials to
discuss the investigations at present,
it leaked out that information has
been obtained concerning beef packers
in Chicago which may result in prose
cutions.
Department officials are at loss
to explain how the packers can export
meat and still plead that there is a
shortage. 1t was understood here that
the packers have not taken kindly to
the investigation. The plan adopted
has been to look into affairs of branch
houses and the packers have objected
and insisted that the Investigations
be made at headquarters.
The rise in the price of sugar has
led to a renewed interest among de-
partment officials in the investigation
of the supposed connection between
the so-called sugar trust and the beet
sugar interests.

TROUBLES BELIEVED OVER

Threatened to AnnuI Charters

Miners at a meeting held in Frank

to return to work at once. They in

national president of the U. NJ. w. A,
sent to the district ordering the insur-
gent miners back to work and threat
ening to revoke the charters of the To-

continued, union officials are not GER
tain that the trouble which resulted
in an armed clash at Mulberry has
ended.
Sheriff burlington and the district
officials addressed the open air Frank
lin meeting. Their addresses were re-
peated in Italian and French. Consid-
cradle animosity was displayed toward
Dan Gatti, an Italian leader, who ad-
vised the insurgents to return to work
at once. GATH was one of the first
leaders of the insurgents to persuade
the men to .disobey the union officials.

TO BUY SHIPS SOON
President Wilson Pushes Plan
to Build Up American
Commerce.
BILL INTRODUCED IN HOUSE
Incorporation of Big Company
by the Government.

Neutrality-suspicious. for building up
a permanent American merchant ma
rine by the purchase of foreign ships
to be operated by the government
went forward in congress and at the
White House.
In the house, Representative Alex
ander introduced the administration
bill for the Incorporation of a 30-mil-
liOn-dollar company to own and oper-
ate ocean steamers under a shipping
board composed of the President, the
secretary of the treasury, the postmas-
ter general and the secretary of COM
merce. The government would sub,
scribe for not less than 81 per cent of
the capital stock by an appropriation.
Ships would be bought by the sale of
s1O.O0O,O00 Panama Canal bonds.
President Wilson reiterated his de-
termination to urge the ship purchase
plan and said he expected it to be in
operation within two or three weeks.
Reports that he had considered the
ACCESSIBILITY of abandoning the project,
he said, were without foundation.
The fact that private capital had
shown no inclination to act unless the
government guaranteed securities, he
declared, merely made it necessary for
the government 10 TAKE Tue lnlIldIlNG
The President believes the government
will be able to develop new trade
routes and make the project desirable
to private capital To meet that pos
sibility, the bill would provide for sale
of the governments stock in the COM
pany at any time the shipping board
deemed that advisable.
Other plans for fostering American
chi
War Risk bill, already passed by the
senate, was halted in the house by the
failure of the rules committee to get
quorum. Representative Alexander
later introduced bill to authorize
special rule for the measure and an eff
fort will be made to get action on it.
The new law opening American reg
istry to foreign built craft on modified
terms, the first of the emergency
measures passed since the outbreak
Of the European war, awaited the
Presidents decision as to suspension
of certain sections of the navigation
laws.
The administration bill for organiza-
ton of federal steamship company
provides that the shares shall be 500
each, the corporation may begin bust
ness as soon as 81 per cent of the
stock has been subscribed and all not
subscribed by the public may be taken
by the government.

TYPHOID FROM WELL WATER
Twelve Chase County Young People
Take Down With Disease After
Drinking From It.

1t has just been discovered that a
single well having impure water
caused twelve typhoid fever cases in
the Diamond Creek neighborhood,
northwest of Cottonwood Falls. About
a month ago a party was held at the
home of George Guyton. Drinking
water was used from the farmhouse
well. Afterward several cases of fever
began to appear among the young
people who had attended the party
and increased until there were a dozen
patients in all
The appearance of so many cases at
once caused physicians to suspect that
some well there might be responsible
for the disease and the county health
officer ordered an analysis of the water
from several wells. Typhoid germs
were found at the Guyton farm. The
well was one into which surface water
had seeped, thereby causing the con-
tamination.
