DAVIS PREPARES FOR COLLECTION s OF WAR REVENUE Income Tax Collector Will Manage Garnering of Gov
 ernment's Special Levy DRINKERS OF BEER
 WILL PAY THE MOST What the War Revenue Bill Means to Bridgepofters
 Lasts One Year

Deputy Collector w. I. Downs of this city is preparing to collect the war tax which is now in effect and which will last until December 31, 1915, a little over a year. Already the internal revenue collectors have commenced the work of gathering in the shekels which will represent in the aggregate thee price that Uncle sam is to pay for having his friends in Europe turn loose the dogs of war.
 When they began to tie up the Ger man, French and English steamers in the various ports of the world, and the goods from Belgium, France, Ger many and England which carried the import duties, the most important fac tor in providing funds to run the Fed eral government with it's army and navy, this country had to prov ide some means to protect itself against a shortage. There was plenty of money belonging to bfle government. t. on deposit in the Treasury. and $75,- GOO, 900 of government money was in the hands of the National banks where it was being used to furnish capital to manufacturers, farmers and those engaged in other commercial pur- suits.
 President wilson could have drawn in this vast sum of money. and let the business interests of the country fish and cut bait. But he figured that the American people could bes trusted to do the patriotic thing in the hour of trial. and he proposed the War Tax for a little more than a year, af-& ter which it is hoped that the com ne-ce will have become normal again, and the revenues will come in as of old.
 : The people in the country have stood the test. and the fact that the Presl- dent will have a Democratic House and S0Dae i<a majority of the people Of the nation stood ready to stand by him.
 The worklngman who drinks beer is probably the most patriotic of them all if patriotism can be reckoned by the amount of taxes he pays There fore the war, and for the next year the, tax will be s1.5O. Those who drink fancy liquors and cordfals will paw six cents a gallon. The whiskey drinkers will not pay an additional tax as the rectiiers and distillers al ready pay 10 a gallon tax If you are a champagne thinker the war in Europe will make you pay 20 cents a gallon. and, if a still wine user, eight cents a gallon.
 Theatre goers are going to help Uncle Sam to maintain his navy and army for the next year although they will probably not feel the effect of the tax levied against the owners of the theatres. The tax is $25 year on theatres with a capacity Of 25o seats: $50 on 800 seats; $75 on 800 seats; and $100 on more than 800 seats
 All circus managers will have to pay $100 tax at each place that they show while the proprietors of all other public amusements will pay S10 fax. Bowling alleys and billiard and pool rooms will pay tax of $5 on each ta-

AUTO VANlSHES
 INTO THE NIGHT WITH VICTIM

Mrs. H. H. DeWoIfe, living at 1347 Boston avenue was attracted to the windows of her home about 10 o'clock ylast night by the agonized shriek of a man and the grinding of autorno- bile brakes in the roadway in front of her house After a cloud of dust had cleared away, this is what she saw.
 By the roadside. there was the ap- parently Sifeless form of a man. A few feet away, an automobile was stopped, its headlights shooting it's glare across the prostrate body.
 Two men, the only passengers in the motor car a1ighted, looked at inc body and then hurriedly climbed back into the automobile. A moment later they shot away in a cloud of dust
 Mrs. DeWoTfe, mortified at the spec tacle, notified the Emergency hospitaI and the ambulance was despatched to the scene.
 While hospital corps were awaited an automobile appeared from the di- rection in which the mysterious car first seen had disappeared. It halted beside the body and two men lifted the senseless form into the car. T,he machine then sped on. No one had taken it's number; the identity Of ths passengers or the victim had not been disclosed.
 When the ambulance arrived, there " Wsafs hoLhllS VlSlble To snow there was an accident except the heavy wheel prints of the automobile and a dust covered cap.
 There was nothing to do but to mo- tify the police. Captain of Detectives Arnold set men on the case at once, and a search of the public and pri- Yate hospitals in the city was made, but with no result The car, it's oc- cupants and it's victim had disap- peared as mysteriously as if the earth had swa flowed them.
 Mrs. DeWolfe says she could not identify the occupants of the machine as she did not leave the house, being alone She said the injured man was dressed plainly. appeared to be of middle age and of foreign extraction

 TURNS ON GAS Resident of East End, Often a Somnanbulist, Discovered in Unconscious Condition WINDOW OF ROOM
 OPEN, SAVES LIFE Taken to Bridgeport Hospi- tai By Ambulance Surgeon
 Condition Critical

While walking in her sleep. her family believes. Miss Daisy F. Ireland, aged 21, of 7Y Sixth street. often a somnambulist, turned the gas on in her bedroom during the night, and early today was discovered uncon- scious and in convulsions, in her room. She is in the Bridgeport hospital, in a critical condition.
 Miss Ireland retired about the same time as other members of the house hold, last evening. It was her custom to eat, before retiring, and to this fact her family credits her often being af- flicted with nightmare, and also with sIeepWa1king.
 This morning. at s, her father, w. T. Ireland, detected the odor of gas, which he quickly traced to her room. He found his daughter partly dressed. lying across the foot of the bed and in convuIsions.
 Dr.. Weldon of the emergency hos pital ambulance corps removed the young woman to the Bridgeport hos pitaL There the physicians conclud- uremic condition. provoked. no doubt. by the effect of the gas poisoning.
 That the IniShap was wholly acci- dental is apparently from the fact that one Of the windows of the bed room was open when the discovery. was made. But for this fact the gas poisoning must needs have been fatal

TWO PRISONERS
 DIE AS FLAMES
 ENVELOP CELLS

Bfanford, Counss Nov. 12.-AAaehaeA Ma ttfews, captain Of asaeoaI barge, and a. deckhand 6n thesabarge named Reilly, were found dead on the steel bed frame in their cell at the local lookup today. They were arrested last night for intoxication. The bed- ding had been burned as had the mems garments, and the bodies were badly seorched.
 The medical examiner expressed the opinion that the prisoners had been smoking during the night and had set the bedding on fire.
 When arrested, the men resisted vigorously and it was necessary for others to go to the assistance of the officers At tthe town hall in the base ment of which the lookup is located, the struggles of the prisoners became so violent that the selectmen who were in session and others had to be called on to help get the men into the cell.
 Matthews was .i11s command of the barge H. F. Allen, discharging a car go of coal here Reilly is thought to have belonged in Wa1lingford. E Coroner Eli Mix conducted an in- quest Afterwards he said the men came to their death as a result of set ting a fire in their cell during the night possibly while smoking.
 The interior Of the cell was~consid- erab1y dama ged by the flames. The fire did not get outside owing to the metal construction of the place of de- tention.
 In response to his inquiry at the in- quest as to why the prisoners had not been searched for weapons or combus- tib1es, before being locked up, the cor oner was told that the prisoners re- sisted so violently that no search could be made
