IMMIGRATION AT HIGH TIDE.

Immigrants arrived at American

every week day during the first ten
months of the fiscal year of 1914, and
indications are that by June 80, when
the fiscal year ends, the greatest num-
Der of immigrants ever admitted dur
ing any year will have entered.
Statistics of the Bureau of Immi-
grafton for April and the 10 months
ended in April show 1885 were
admitted in that month, and the
total for the 10 months was 1898.
$50. Should May and June arrivals
equal the number admitted during
those months in previous years, the
1871 totsl would be approximately
1851 900 immigrants. The greatest
number arriving in one year hereto
fore was 1854 in 1907.

ed States District Court, accused of
violating the Elkns Act, which makes
criminal the granting or receiving OF re-

ance by the individual defendants of rate
discrimination obtaining transportation
at less than the regular rates on grain

sisted of not collecting storage charges

charge of weighing grain, made false re-
ports to the railroad company az to
weights, also making claims for refunds

Emmitsburg having won from the
locals some time ago, by close margin,

take the second dose if preventable.
For Thurmont, George Root was on
the hi jock and each pill sent across prov

two being taken for safe singles. While
he walked seven men, yet at critical
times he was steady and retired his OPP
ponents with ease, he having Is strike
outs to his credit.
The visitors failed to score until the
third inning, when one run was mark ed
up. In the sixth another run was made,
in an unusual manner. Damuth in throw
ing to third hit the bat on the shoulder
of the man then batting and the ball
bounded back and before he recovered
the ball the run was made. After this

INCOME TAX DODGER, BEWARE!

Treasury agents are making ready
to take the trail of income tax dodg-
ers. Just now only incidental atten-
ton is being given violations OF the
new law, but evidence is being accu-
mulated, and when the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue and his assist
ants have cleared up collections on
income returns next month there will
be a general movement against Offend
ers.
"A man is fool who attempts to
avoid the income taxi said Com
missioner Osborn. He is sure to
be detected sooner or later. There
is no chance that tax dodgers can
escape. y
The time for payment of this tax
does not expire until July |, but 1t
is known that the Treasury Depart
ment already has the information
necessary for the prosecution OF many
persons who made false returns
1t may take the Treasury Depart
ment months, or even years, to catch
up with some of the tax dodgers, but
the officials say the chase will be re-
lentless. The records of all banks
and business concerns nrc open to
the department, and its ny nts have
many secret sources OF information.
The penalty for making a fraudu-
lent return is imprisonment for not
more than one year, or a fine not cX-
ceelling 81 1000, or both, with the
costs of prosecution. Persons subject
to the tax who fail to make any re-
port may be fined from soto 81 900,
The penalty for failure to pay the as
sessmrnts upon returns before July !
will be . per cent, Plus an additional
5 per cent. for every month OF delay.

bump when it went against the Adams

team but the players came from various
sections of the south end of the county.
Lease, a Frederick boy, who was with
Jack Dunn's Baltimore team, thence to
the Virginia League, thence with the
Tri-City League, was on the mound for
the visitors; Feaga, of the Frederick
High School club did the catching; Ham
mond, of Woodsboro. and also of the
Frederick High School, played centertield.
Just where the others might have played
could not be learned.
Eddie Creeger did the pitching for the
Thurmont boys and did excellent work,
In the first inning an intield ball was
tielded badly and this left second of the
visitors on bases. Hammond landed on
the ball and the bali kept going until it
landed in the bushes, giving him home
run and also sending two men ahead of
him across the plate. Four runs We're
made in this inning and things began
looking bad. The locals, however, in
their half made three and the game look
ed better.
In the second, with two on bases, an
other ball was hit to the honeysuckles
for homer, and the inning closed with
eight more to Adamstowns credit The
score l2-3.
After this inning the Thurmont boys
got together and held the visitors to
three runs for the remainder of the game
while they themselves made four the
final score being Is to T.
The home team hit Lease with ease
but the hits counted but little.

II Juniors Punished.

Annapolis, Nd, June ll.-String-
ent action was taken by the board OF
governors and visitors of ST. John s
College tonight in their effort to stamp
out hazing at the institution, result
ing on May % in the shooting OF
Cadet William h. Bowlus, of Middle
town, Nd, which later caused his
death.
Following four hour meeting,
during which the report of special
committee, to which the subject had
been referred, was discussed, heavy
punishment was imposed against the
II members of the junior class i'm
piicatcd in the hazing escapades.
Thomas f. Marsh, of Marsh, Pa. 1,
president of the junior class, will
have SO dement's credited against
him, while the other II juniors were
given 50 each. The limit of dement's
allowed junior is $50.
There was a strong sentiment
among members of the board that at
least three of the lads under suspcn-
sion should be expelled.
I'm addition to the punishment i'm
posed on the Juniors another recon-
mcndation requiring every student
entering the college in the future to
take a pledge to abstain from hazing
while at the institution was adopted.
In addition to providing that any
student found guilty of hazing in the
future shall be summarily dismissed,
the board passed an order making it
obligatory upon the college authori-
ties to surrender to the Sheriff of
Anne Arundel county any student
who has become amenable to the
State law.
The meeting was stormy one,
there being several lively tits during
the arguments.
