INCOME TAXSOO,OOO,OOO
WELCOME BIT OF NEWS TO THE
TREASURY OFFICIALS.
The Preliminary Estimates From the
Revenue Collection Districts
Crafty Washington.

WACHINGTON. - Complete pre-
liminary estimates from all internal
revenue collection districts received
at the treasury department indicate
that the individual and corporate On
income tax this year will not only
come up to the original estimates of
$50, 900, but will probably ex-
coed that sum.
This is the most welcome bit of in
formation that has come to the ears
of treasury officials in many months.
If the estimate is borne out the pros
pective issue of Panama canal bonds
to swell the slowly sinking general
fund of the treasury may be delayed
longer than many students of the
government financial condition have
thought possible.
1t was said tonight that the esti-
mate put the amount to be collected
at $80,035, 900, but officials are con-
fident that results will show several
millions more. This prospect is
especially pleasing to the admins
tration in view of predictions that
the war in Europe and the new tarlff
would combine to prevent large
return.

CHICAGO-Three federal court
test suits attacking the constitution

banks were filed here today.
The result of the suit will affect

according to Levy Mayer, of counsel
for the three banks concerned in the
suits-the Continental and CONNER
cial National Bank, the Continental
and Commercial Trust and Savings
Bank and the Hibernian Baking AS
sOciation.
The Continental and Commercial
National Bank suit asks for the re-
turn of $21,657.34 alleged to be the
amount of taxes paid by the bank to
the internal revenue collector as rep
resenting one-tenth of 1 per cent on
federal, state and municipal bonds
and other property not used in the
banking business. The other banks
asked for the return of smaller
amounts of taxes.

ing to Figures of State Officials.
Heavy Sales Last Month.

Official figures compiled by Conn
missioner of Agriculture Price show
that during the present season, from
January /, 1915, to April %, 1915,

period last year. This was 5O.47 per

OCRATIC CHAIRMAN AND HIS
WIFE SHOCKS SOCIETY.
TUMULTY HIS POLITICAL FOE
Leader Denies Domestic Trouble,
But Seems Dissatisfied With Par
tvs Conduct. McAdOo Also Figures
in Political End of Story.

WASHINGTON Dissension with
in the democratic party, revolving
about William F. McCombs, the ma
ti0nal chairman, have broken out
atresh.
Also society was shocked when it
was known that Mr.. McCombs and
Mrs. McCombs had separated. The
belief among close friends of the
couple was that Mrs. McCombs soon
would bring an action for divorce.
Mr.. McCombs denied the report,
saying: Amy statement of separa-
ton or intended divorce is entire
news to me. There is no truth in
this report, but l don't wish to digni-
fly it with a denial"
Ever since the close of the Wilson
campaign, in which Mr.. McCombs,
although a titular leader, was in a
large measure subordinate to William
McAdoo, now secretary of the treas
ury, then an assistant at democratic
headquarters, efforts have been in
evidence looking to his retirement
from the national Craftsmanship. AS
though emanating from him the eff
fort was to make it appear that be-
cause of the uncertain condition of
his health he would voluntarily with
draw from participation in the politi-
cal work of the party.
In this connection use was made
of the name of Joseph P. Tumulty,
secretary to the president, as his
probable successor. Today these sto-
ries were revived, and, although Sec
rotary Tumulty endeaVored to put an
end to them by asserting that they
were made out of the whole cloth by
political mischief makers, they con-
linue to circulate. Criticisms of Mr..
McCombs, which have found publicity
on number of occasions, have been
credited by some of Mr. McCombs'
friends to Mr.. Tumulty and to Mr.
McAdoo, although the latter has been
at pains to deny and disprove them
Notwithstanding this face Mr.. Nc
Combs seems to regard Mr.. Tumulty
as a political rival, and the gossip
will not down.
Regarding the separation story ii
was pointed out that Mrs. McCombs
has spent much time for the last sew
eral months at the home of her par
ents, Colonel and Mrs. John R. Will
liams, in this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCombs have been
married less than eighteen months
the wedding having been celebrated
in London November 7, 1913. Wash
ington society was greatly surprised
at the marriage, the announcement
of which was made only one day in
advance of the ceremony.
Before her marriage Mrs. Nc
Combs, who was Miss Dorothy Will
liams, was a leader of the younger
set in the capital, and she is recog-
nized as one of Washington most
prominent young matrons.

DOPE FIENDS HIT HARD
HALF MILLION DRUG USERS
WANDER NEW YORK STREETS.
Stringent Regulation FOrbidding the
Sale of Opiates Has Revealed APP
paIIing Extent of the Evil.

NEW YORK.-The recent adop-
ton of stringent regulations forbid
ding the sale of opiates and habit
forming drugs in this city has reveal
ed the appalling extent to which the
evil has spread. 1t is estimated that
there are between 100000 and $780,
900 drug users in the greater city.
AS a result of the activities of the
police and federal agents in the en-
forcement of the new drug law, which
went into effect March /, the hospi-
tails and jails are being overcrowded
with victims of the habit. Many of
the drug fiends, crazed by their ina
bility to obtain narcotics, are still
wandering about the city by hundreds
in states ranging from semi-collapse
to hysteria. Every day numbers of
them came to the police begging that
they be arrested.
Pitiful scenes are enacted in the
police stations where men deprived
of their daily dope" fall on the
floor and lay writing until they have
been treated, all the time wailing for
drugs. During a single day twenty
fiends were admitted to the city hos
pital The situation is becoming so
desperate that city officials believe
that a special institution will have to
be equipped to deal with those cases.
1t has been said by well known drug
users who are now taking the cure at
the city hospital that unless the vic
Tins are given medical treatment
they will die by scores during the
next few weeks.

SHE NOW SEPARATES.
LOVE HAS PLAYED SEVERE GAME
With Pretty Mrs. Tudor, Who Was a
Famous Society Widow With an
Income From Fortune of Ten

BOSTON.-Just three years ago

famed society widow who was left

her husband, gave up her millions to
we'd At the Garland home at Buzz.
zard Bay she married Francis Green,
her financial adviser and caretaker OF
her estate. The love for which she
gave up her millions is shattered and
she is again free.
Love has played a severe game
with pretty Marie Tudor, who comes
of one of the leading families of aris-
tocratic Boston. Great joy and great
sorrow have come alternately into
her love affairs. She was married,
divorced and remarked to James A.
Garland, sportsman and yachtsman.
Her first wedding at the age of %,
was one of the brilliant social events
of its season in Brookline. After a
years tour of Europe a baby came to
smooth away differences that we're
said to have arisen in Europe. EV-
erything was happiness in the Gar
land home for six long years. In the
summer of 1900 society heard that
all was not we'll with them. Soon
followed separation. Mrs. Garland
taking her four children to live with
her. Then again came reconciliation,
and the Garlands were said to be eX-
tremely happy, when suddenly Mrs.
Garland entered suit for divorce The
case was bitterly contested, but she
won her decree.
A year elapsed, and then society
heard that the Garland yacht had put
into Hyannisport, with it's owner on
board, and that Mrs. Garland and
the children had gone aboard. Love
again rose from the ashes, and the
reunited family landed at Bristol, r
l., where the Garlands were remar
ried. They then went to New York
| to live, but their happiness was again
broken in September, 1906, when
Garland died, his wife nursing him
| to the end.
The widow returned to Boston and
lived quietly with her children. She
was given the income from the $1O,-
| 100000 fortune OF her husband, on
condition that she never marry At
ter six years of widowhood she sud
denly announced her engagement to
Green, who had been caretaker of her
estate and adviser in financial mat
| tiers. He is the son of the late Com
mander Francis S. Green, U, S. N,
I and a descendant of James Otis.
The wedding took place at Buzz
zard Bay on April 2, 1912, in the
presence of the Garland children and
few friends The couple toured Eu-
rope and were said to be happy al
though society continued to talk of
the big forfeit which the widow paid
for her new-found happiness. Within
two years the romance was shatter-
ed and divorce was sought by Mrs.
Green, her husband not cOntesting.

SPRING DROUGHT
LONGEST IN YEARS
Cotton and Truck Farms i'm South
east Are Suffering. Local
Showers HELD,


WASHINGTON, d. C.-The long
est early spring drought in more
than forty years now exists over the
eastern United States, the national
weekly weather and crop bulletin an
nounced today. Cotton and truck
crops in the Southeast are suffering.
I'm Texas and Oklahoma excessive
rains greatly hindered farm work, "
says the bulletin.
Fields were badly washed, bottom
lands were flooded and much land al
ready planted to cotton and corn will
have to be replanted, while the wet
soil will still further delay cotton
planting, which is generally consider
ed as several weeks late.
Local Showers Have Helped.
"In the central states of the cotton
belt planting progressed and local
showers greatly benefited that al
ready planted in many sections. In
the eastern states of the belt the
crop has been largely planted, but
little growth is possible on account
of drought, and termination of late
planted will be delayed until rain
comes.
''In the principal trucking districts
to the eastward of the Mississippi
most crops are suffering from rain,
especially in Florida and the South
Atlantic coast districts
EARLY planted corn is coming up,
but later planted over the Southern
districts to the eastward of the Mis-
sissippi has not terminated we'll on
