Nearly 5000 Persons Make
Payment on Last Day

Upward Of three thousand persons
paid their income tax yesterday the
last day for paying it at the Office OF
Collector Anderson, of the I'd District,
in the Custom House.
Payments ranged all the way from
cents to $4,000 although the pay
ment of the last named tax could not
be officially verified, on account of the
impenetrable secrecy that surrounds
Uncle Sans newest attempt 70 lift the
burden of taxation from the shoulders
of those who fortunately, or unfortu-
natelv, have incomes under $4,000

The line leading up to the cashiers
window on the fifth floor OF the Gus
tom House reached 800 feet around the
corridor at times during the afternoon,
and although the payments were made
n the rate OF tour or five TO the
minute. many stood in line 20 minutes
or more. This caused more or less
grumbling. The unpopularity OF the

TRESCA FREED AT
HIS SECOND TRIAL
AgitatOr Found Not Guilty
by the Jury in Twenty
Minutes.

Carlo Tresca, labor agitator and l.
". w. member, styled By the rose
cutor of Passaic County zone Of the
most dangerous men in the United
States" was tried second time yes
terday on a charge of melting TO riot
during the Paterson silk strike, and
was pronounced not guilty after the
jury had been out but twenty min
utes.
Tresca was tried on the same
charge last December, and at that time
the jury disagreed. Two weeks ago
Michael Dunn. the Passaic County
Prosecutor, testified before the United
States Commission on Industrial Re
lations that he believed Tresca to have
been the instigator of nearly all the
violence attendant on the silk strike
After making the statement Dunn
was asked why. in that event, he did
not bring the agitator TO trial on the
indictment pending. Encouraged b.
the fact that the Supreme Court had
Just affirmed the conviction Of pat
Quinlan on similar charge, Dunn as
serted that he would do so promptly.
The first trial had been conducted by
one of Dunn's assistants, but the pros
ecutor determined TO make conviction
certain this time by appearing person
ally TO press the charge. As in the
former trial, the jury was drawn from
Hudson County, on the theory that
residents Of Passaic County might be
prejudiced.
Just before the trial began the pros
ecutor received the night letter sent
by Alexander Berkman and others
Monday evening, in which Dunn's life
was threatened in case OF Tresca'
conviction. Dunn refused to take the
telegram seriously. but Judge Abram
Klenert expressed hot resentment.
The charge on which Tresca was
tried con sttutas high misdemeanor
under the New Jersey statutes. and
carries a maximum penalty Of fifteen
wears. The state based its charge on
words alleged TO have been spoken b.
Tresca in Italian April II, 1918, IN the
presence of 400 striking mill workers.
In this speech. Tresca was charged
with having urged the strikers to 20 "a
Madison St. on which were located
mills where the workers had refused
to 90 on strike. and there 10 attack
the weavers and others who persisted
in remaining at work. Dunn called
sixteen witnesses. basing his case
chiefly on the testimony of two Italian
detectives.
Henry Marelli. counsel for Tresca
entered a twofold defence, claiming
that the words alleged 10 have beer
spoken by Tresca had not been uttered
and that, even if they had been used
they were capable of second interpree
tation that took the edge off their bel
ligerency and substituted much mild
/ err meaning.
The case hinged on the meaning o.
the words, when you hit them, hi
them easy" and a majority OF the WIZ
nesses on both sides were students OF
the Italian language, called to testify
as TO the correctness of the transla
ton. The jury retired at sos anC
brought in its verdict twenty minutes
later. pat" Quinlan. Elizabeth Cur
lev Flynn and Joe" O'Carroll were in
court during the day.

Interpretations"
II Is understood on the best OF au-
thority that many plans were discussed
for getting around the grape juice or
der, before II was finally resolved to
resort TO the private locker system.
No other way seemed az feasible, and
that naval officers should go without
their "snifters" for possibly several
years at time was not to be thought
of. It was pointed out that even
should IL be discovered that an officer
did have a bottle" in his locker 1t
would be up to the "Sec. Nav" to prove
that he had introduced it on board for
use"
Many held that, technically, II an
officer purchased. say, five quarts or
wine from the wine mess and took
them to his room he certainly had not
introduced" them on board, and would
have a right to keep them as long as
he wished, provided he did not use
them.
While naval officers hoped to the last
that something would intervene TO pre-
vent an order which they consider hui.

ulous position from going into effect,
they take much consolation from the
fact that Secretary Daniels has had 20
modify his original order, for the Navy
Department is now at work upon a
new order which will permit the DIS

the subsidiary companies, owned en-
tirely by this company, show that the
earnings have been more than sufficient
to meet these dividend requirements"
