BIG INCOME TAX CHECKS}
Individual, $500 Corporation,
$100,0 900, Largest in This Dis.
trict During Year.

The biggest payment by any one in
dividual on account of the income tax
on the tax levy tally of the internal
revenue collection district of Mary
land, which includes Maryland, Del
aware and the District of Columbia
and a part of Virginia, is represented
by check for $4,000 paid into the
office of the collector of internal reve-
nue.. The biggest payment by corpo-
ration in the district is 100000.
The individual and the corporation
are state secrets and the Office of the
collector will not divulge their names
The Individual tax payment represents
an income of about s1,1O0,000. This tax
payer is not necessarily the richest
man in the district. as there are many
owners of valuable realty which re-
turns no income.
The fiscal year ended yesterday,
bringing the total receipts for the
district up to s9,93S.s57. This includes
ordinary internal revenues, the war
emergency tax. the income tax and
various special taxes. The days re-
revenues are the largest ever taken
into this office, and are about 100000
in excess of the receipts of last fiscal
year. What part was collected in the
District of Columbia is not at this time
determinable. A later analysis of the
figures may discover the proportion of
the tax paid here.
About s1,7OO,O0O of the grand total
represents income tax. There are $4,000
individuals and between 1000 and 5000
corporatio in the district subject to
the tax.

CHANGE IN OCEAN MAIL
IS FORCED BY THE WAR
Postmaster General Will Endeavor
to Extend Act of 1891 to
Foreign Service.

While opposed to the idea of mail
subsidies. Postmaster General Burle-
son has found himself forced by con-
ditions created by the European war
, to endeavor to extend what is known
as the ocean mail service act of 1891,
whereby steamships. conforming to the
terms prescribed by that act. are paid
at the rate of 81 a mile for ocean mail
service between New York and Eng
land, regardless of the amount of mail
they may carry on the outward trips,
instead of the weight rate of so cents
a pound for letters and post cards and
s cents a pound for other articles
The American line, operating the

Louis and ST. Paul. has been carrying
the mails for ten years past under the
original contract, which expires Oc-

Advantage Of Contract.
Last year it received for it's service
$673,99S, which the department states
is much less than it would have re-
ceived under the weight rate, which
was paid to the English. French and
German lines now withdrawn.
The advantage of the contract. how
ever it is explained, is the assurance
of a permanent rate of 81 mile during

be carried.
Under the ocean mail service act of
1891, among the general terms or con-
ditions governing steamships wnlch
may be paid the four-dollar-a-mller rate
are those which require ships of the
different classes to have certain ton

The present contract under that act,
which has run for ten years. contains
provision whereby, after five years. the
Postmaster General might terminate
the contract, after a years notice and
at the end of a given year. 1t Is the
purpose, under the new contract pro-
posed. to insert stipulation whereby
either party to the contract, after

tract at the end of a given year.

: JONES INCIDENT"
CLOSED At LAST
Borough Fathers at Last Give Off
Ger the Hook After Long
Controversy

The Jones Incident over which
Steelton's council has been involved In
bitter controversy for nearly two
years, is closed.
At a special meeting of the Dor
ough fathers" last evening, Patrol
controversy conferred, was dropped
from the police force. A viva voce
vote did the work.
Efforts to inject some more OF the
venom, which has marked several re-
cent debates over the affair, into last
nights discussion were promptly
checked by President j. V. W. Reyn-
ders, who was able to be present last
evening the first time in several
months.
The motion to drop Jones was made
by Councilman Henderson, following
an enlightening speech by Councilman
Reisch in which he propounded
number of questions which the police
committee failed to ask witnesses at
its recent investigation.
On all former occasions when officer
Jones was upon the carpet before
council Mr.. Henderson voted for his
reinstatement In explaining his ac-
tion last evening the Second Ward
man said:
Il have always weighed the evidence
that was produced here. Hitherto
didn't feel that this evidence war
ranted Jones dismissal. l have been
a member of council for seven years
and have always acted for the best in
terests of this borough. I have done
everything possible to make it more
desirable town, and I am heartily in
favor of an efficient police force
Then Mr.. Henderson made his mo-
ton for dismissal. 1t was this: IN
asmuch as the evidence, in my mind,
is not sufficient to warrant branding
the man, would move that Patrolman
Jones be dismissed from the force as
a man unable to perform police du-
ties"
When President Reynders put the
question there was a loud chorus of
ayes" and not a dissenting voice.
