Fifty Ped @Ht 20 be Charged to All
Delinquents on July l.

Richmond, June 26.-Unless present
indications are deceptive, scores of
Virginia corporations and hundreds
of individuals in this. State, will be an
a pretty pickleenext week, and will
owe heavy penalties to the Federal
government for failure to- pay special
and income taxes for the, fiscal year,
These taxes must be paid on or before
June 80, after which so per cent
penalty accrues, while the property
of the delinquents will be subject to
seizure to meet the Obligations. -
It is estimated by Deputy Collector
, Thomas C. Meaney, of the local IN
ternal revenue Office, that 95 per cent
of the corporations, such as whole
sale and retail liquor dealers, recelilars
distillers, ETC., have failed to take
out special tax for the conduct OF
their business, and that their neglect
will involve many of them in the pen
atty. These stamps must be posted
in the place Of business on July l.
Other corporations have failed to pay
their income tax, and are also liable
to the penalty.
Probably 60 per cent, of the indi-
vidual income returns are still I'M
paid. A so per cent penalty will also
be added to these delinquents, and it
will be enforced under a Federal
statute. The usual custom is to send
out notices to the delinquents, who
are given ten days to pay the tax
and penalty, after which a distrain
warrant will be issued, and property
seized and sold>to meet the obligation.
Jail sentences can also be imposed in
some instances.

CARUSO, TAKEN ILL,
SINGS PART TO END
Great Tenor, After Curtain
Falls, Has To Be Helped Off
the Stage.

NEW YORK, Jan. l5-After singing
I'yesti la Giubba' at yesterdays spe-
ciai performance Of "Pagliacci'' in the
Metropolitan Opera House and answer
ing seven curtains calls, Enrico Carusc,
the tenor, tottered to the side Of the
stage and collapsed in the arms of Dinh
Giily and Antonio Scotti
He was carried to his dressing room
in q dazed condition. There his strength
returned and he went to his apartments.
None In the audience was aware OF
the strain that the famous tenor was
undergoing. At times he had to steady
himself before starting to sing. 1t is
thought that the nervous strain of the
songs, which exact tremendous energy,
left him exhausted. After going through
his part, Caruso almost staggered to
the foOeiights in response to calls from
the audience. His colleagues were
aware of his condition, but his outward
appearance gave no hint to the audience
OF the tenor's exhaustion. The exact
cause of the attack was not made
known.
Despite his collapse, Caruso insisted
on walking to the street unaided. With
his physician he drove in a taxiCab to
his hotel.
