GET RHINELANDER THIEF
Police Learn of Robbery by
Arrest in Rockland County.

The arrest of two men in New City,
Rockland County, gave to the New
York City police their first intimation
that the home Of Miss Laura V. Rhine
lander, at 81 East 77th ST., had been
robbed on June II. Clews led them
yesterday to the room Of Francis Gluss,
a chauffeur. of 1897 Avenue A, where,
II was said, part of the stolen goods
were found. as we'll as laces and tapes
tries from the home Of Otto Horowitz,
OF LOG East 73d st. Both houses have
oeen closed for the summer.
Gluss was arrested by Detectives
Ward and Marino, and was charged
with receiving stolen goods. He re-
fused TO make any statement as to how
nc came into possession of the prop
erty. The articles recovered were val
ued at between $500 and $1,000.
The men under arrest in Rockland
County are held on a charge of burg
larry. They confessed TO the robbery
OF the Rhinelander home, and gave the
clew that led TO the arrest of Gluss.
The finding of the goods from the
Horowitz home in Gluss's room was
also surprise TO the police.

BRAVES MIDAIR PERIL
High Building Has No Terrors
for Fire CAPTAIN.

Eighteen stories above the street,
Captain Edward Quinn, of Engine Com
pany II, climbed around a two foot
ledge, on the outside of the building
at Is East 2lst St, at peril of his life
and, prying open a window, forced his
way into the Leo Mann Raincoat Com

He was then able to unlock the fire
doors, which had proved too strong
for his firemen, and let them in to fight

rang, giving warning of the fire, but

they had TO search for it,

WHO'LL PAY THIS TAX?

The tax of 2 cents per gallon on
gasolene will be collected from the
producers of gasolene monthly, ac-
ctrding TO the prcsc.:: phraseology
Of the war revenue measure.
The producers of gasolenc are the
people who get the gasoiene out Of
the petroleum; the refners: the in
terest that is in common usage
rather recklessly referred to as the
Standard Oil group. OF course the
Standard Oil doesn't do all the re-
fining, or produce all the gasolene;
but it's domination of the petroleum
products industries is such that in
evitably this phase of the war tax
legislation will be discussed with
reference primarily TO the effect it
will have on the Standard Oil Com
pany.
There is no doubt who will write'
the check that will pay the monthly
instaiImcnt % gaSolene tax. The COR
poration that does the refining will
male the check for cen1. on every
gallon turned out
Pct very plainly the -cf?cr will
not stand the entire loss. He
couldn't. Moreover, he needn't, and
rohody expects that he will.
Will he take the tax out of the
consumer of gasolcne, by a direct
assessment of additional prices? Or
will he take it out of all pctrrle am
products, tv adding something to
the prices Of kerosene and every
thing else, SO as tn spread the bur-

NOISE AS A FACTOR.

There has been growing In recent
ears a belief that the soldier from
ne rural districts is not as good j
ampaigner as his brothers-in-arms
rom the cities. From Europe there
Las just come one comment from an
, ,xcellent authority bearing out in a
way. so far as the British troops are
concerned, this conclusion.
An English sergeant-major,
ass that is the flower Of the British
Z rmy, owing to their system of
training, and who is Great Britain's
professional soldier par excellence,
has expressed the opinion as the re-
suit of the Belgian and French cam
raign that the regiments recrUited
~ the big cities are proving the best
\ the battlefields because they are
ccustomcd TO noise.
1T is the quantity of the German
hells that is having this effect" he
aid, land hcllish noise racks the
orves beyond the breaking point for
hose who live away from big cities"
Mayor Gaynor wrote in one of his
imitable letters that he could work
boiler factory. Most city
vellers have to labor under con-
.itions closely apr oximating such a
1ndition. No one ever believed any
hing good could be said of the ding
ing conclusions assaiIing the civic
sr; and vet we learn by this tcsti-
ony that noises of this kind may

which would pay Tor the trouble;
they had to sell TO commission con-
Germs, which opened up the series
of middlemen's transactions; and
the conclusion was that the consrn-
er paid very high prices while the
producer couldn't stay in the busi-
ness. So, this season, it is declared,
the fruit sections and melon dis
tricts Immediately adjacent to Phil
adelphia have seen vast quantities
Ct fruit and melons plowed under
and lost simply because there was
no sinducement to attempt market
ing them. At the same time there
were tens Of thousands Of PEOPLE
in the city, needing this wasted pro-
duce, and perfectly able and will
ing to pay prices that would rep
resent a profit to tn. farmer, How
to get farmer and Consumer To-
gcther was the problem. g.
The farmers market md the
trolley transportation scheme are
expected to do the business. The
farmer vii. gel more for his pro-
duce than the commission man
would give him; the consumer will
pay less for it than the :niddleman
would have to charge him. The new
market is to be. ready for operation
in all its departments by the riddle
cf November, and the Philadelphia
public will then have to determine
whether it shall be \ SUCCESS or
fojlure. II will succeed if rhe pub
;ic will patronize it. That is the
one and only serious question.
Washington's experience has SEEM
ingly demonstrated that the public
has reached the point where it is
willing to patronize facilities which
give cheaper living.

The REAL LEADER.

Senator Burton, Senator K.nyon,
Senator Norris, and other gentle
men Of the upper house are being
felicitated on their achievement of
shocking the hoops off the pork
barrel and smashing in its ends.
They have done n service to the
country and, oddly enough, to the
Democratic party, which insisted on
having this particular assistance
forced upon it from the outside.
But the man who is entitled to
first recognition for this fight on
the pork grab is the Hon. James
A. Frear, of Wisconsin. He started
it half a year ago in the House,
making a speech every time he
could get the floor. He made
contumelious nuisance of himself.
He studied and investigated by
night and he talked by day, telling
the things that his studies had dis
covered. He compelled, at last, at
tention to the bill. -..-.
The House rules would not per-
rJt the sort Of fight that has been
made in the Senate. But the fact
remains that the Frear fight was
the beginning of the whole CAM
paign against the grab, and that
what has been accomplished by
handful of earnest men in the upper
house was only the completion of
hat which was begun by one man,
:ingle-handed, in the Horse.

A TROLLEY MARKET.

Trolley corporations and munich
pal authorities in Philadelphia have
got together in project which is
TO provide the city wieh a farmers
market for produc, from all over
the surrounding regions, at prices
which are expected to advantage
both producer and consumer.
One of the trolley corporations is
10 provide the market building, in
q property which !. )vns. Rentals
Of space will be made only to pro-
ducers; 10 mi1dlemen or io5bers, it
is promised, iced apply.
This is exactly the plan of the
Washington farmers market, which
has been so successful that already
the authorities are planning to
double its physical facilities. But
at Philadelphia there is the import
ant difference. that the new market
is designed to open up a very wide
supplying territory to the city's re-
quircment, by making it possible
tc bring in supplies in trolley
freight trains. directly TO the new
market. Thus it is promised that
half a dozen Of the richest agricul-
II raj counties in the cLrntry will be
brought right tn the marketing door
Of the citv.
Previous to perfectiLg these
plans, the railroad, municipal, and
other people interested made a care
full inquiry to get the exact facts
regarding marketing conditions, de-
mands, needs, and possibilities.
They found under existing condi-
tions most farmers simply could not

THE IMPERTURBABLE.

Our esteemed friend Mr.. Herman
Ridder was never SC calr1, so Der
fectly in command of himself, SO
sltozether logical and reasonable, as
VIXEN he discusses the destruction
of the cathedral Of Rheims by Ger
man artillery fire. He finds that
persons who venture criticism III
that act are hypccrites, dominated
by British sentiments which have
teen sedulously cultivated in this
country by reason of the marriage
of our heiresses to hard-up British
noblemen.
This is interesting, if not alto
gether convincing. But the further
development. of Mr.. Riders argu-
ment is yet more impressive. Be
cause of the New Haven relations,
we are estopped from criticlsing the
bombardment of the Rheims Ca
thedral! Because there are corrupt
councilmcn and bad policemen in
OUT own country. we are not to pre-
sumo allusion to such an act as the
destruction of Louvain or the de-
struction at Rheims. Thus the over
calm and always imperturbable Mr..
Ridder:
What about atrocities in your own
house? Sweep before yoar own door.

critics. you devotees Of English nypoc.

OF the consumer If gasolenc part of
1t out Of the consumer of other
petroleum products? VIII the re-
finer stand, or his own account. any
Fart of the tax?
In all probability there could not
lie found another subject of taxa
tcn in the country, as to which a
single interest would have the nc wer
so entirely t. determine the answer
tc such series Of questions. The
oil refining interest is powerful
enough to decide as it rlea5cs Just
who shall pay the tax. 1t can de-
eide, if it choose, that the producer
Of crude oil shall pay; or that the
driver Of the automobile shall paw:
or that the consumers of all the
myriad OF petroleum products shall
pay.
Apparently. the makers of the
law have the general purpose IF i'm
posing this tax mainly on the au-
tomoDilists. AS between the people
who drive automobiles, = and those
who use kerosene lamps, there is a
pretty wide gulf. They stand,
roughly. at opposite poles of the
social sphere. On the theory of put
ting the tax's incidence on the class
best able to bear it, the automobile
owners would ;.et ut least r,ost Of
it.
But if Congress had meant to put
the burden on this class it would
have found another way to do it.
A wheelagc tax on pleasure autono-
b:les would have been the ideal way
TO distribute it. giving due cnnsid-
Grafton to the weight a., well as the
mileage of the car.
Congress not having pointed the
way to imposing this tax OH any
class, it is safe 20 assume
that the refircrs will air. 20 spread |
it over as large an area as possible.
That will cause least protest, and !
make it easics. for them to pass
Lhe entire burden along to the con-
suner. The e-,fore it nay Le expect
I'd that the producers Of crude oil
will be paid little less; the con-
Sumer CT kerosene, as wei. as gaso-
ene, will pay ittle more; the
1sers of the other petroleum prod
lets will get the chance to pay
heir share; and in the end ihe tax
will be so well distributed that no.
'ody will feel It much, and the oil
'efiners will suffer, if at ALL only in
small reduction in the volume of
heir business.
