MARIETTA, GA, GETS RID
OF MANY UNDESIRABLES
Citizens Place Strangers in Box Car
and Escort Train Out
Of Town.

MARIETTA, Ga, August 2s.-Efght
men whose actions aroused suspicious
Of citizens Of this little town and who
did not give satisfactory explanation
of their presence here were rounded
up late last night, placed in a box car
attached to a freight train ready to
leave, and sent away. No ARRANGEMENTS,
as far as could be learnedtoday, had
been made with the railroad to transport
these persons, but the car was guarded
safely until the train left the town limits.
Since Leo NJ. Frank was lynched near
here August II several persons, whose
business in the town was not known,
have been invited to leave. Five men
who had the appearance Of laborers
and said they were seeking employ
ment here were ordered away yester-
day, and today could not be found. In
the opinion of the police they did not
seem to make a serious attempt to get
work. The eight men sent away last
night also appeared to be laborers.
These events and the continual re-
ceipt of letters threatening various
lynched caused police ofilcials here to
increase the number of officers by If
teen today. The letters are being re-
ceived from all parts of the country by
town and Cobb county officials and by
persons who have given interviews on
the Frank case to newspapers outside
the state. Some of the letters have
been turned over to post office inspect
ors at Atlanta.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2s.-Friends
Of Brig. Gen. John ]. Pershing, whose
wife and three children persisted in a
fire at the Preside military reservation
here yesterday, completed arrange
veyed to Cheyenne, Wyo., tomorrow for
burial. Cheyenne is the home of Mrs.
Pershing's father. United States Sen
ator Francis E. Warren.
Gen. Pershing will meet the funeral
party across the bay in Oakland, as
his friends do not want him to view the
blackened ruins Of his former home.
Mrs. Pershing was popular matron
at the post and the tragedy has plunged
the reservation in mourning.
Gen. Pershing will arrive tomorrow
morning from Ell Paso.
Fire Equipment Criticised.
The lives of Mrs. Pershing and her
children might have been saved if more
fire apparatus at the Panama-Pacific ex-
position, adjoining the Preside. had
been summoned Immediately, said Chief
Thomas Murphy of the San Francisco
fire department, in a statement criti-
cising the Presidio's fire equipment and
system as inadequate and Anticipated.
He said that at a conference he would
hold today with Maj. Gen. Arthur Muir
ray he would insist that the Preside
authorities revoke a standing order to
men of the post not to pull a city fire
alarm until an effort had been made to
subdue the blaze.
In the last three years there have
been nine deaths by fire at the Pre-
sidio.

WILL ENFORCE THEATER
REGULATIONS TOMORROW
Police to Act Despite Fact Usual
Thirty.Day Notice Has Not
Been Given.

Strict enforcement Of the new police
regulation governing Sunday enter
tainments in Washington will begin
tomorrow. despite the fact that the
usual thirty-day notice following the
adoption of police regulation has not
been given.
While section 2 Of the laws Of Con-
gress authorizing police regulations
provides that no penalty shall be en-
forced until thirty days after publica-
ton Of a law Of this character, the
Commissioners believe they have suffi-
cient authority Immediately to regulate
Sunday entertainments.
What Law Provides.
1t is understood that this authority is
found in joint resolution passed by
Congress to regulate licenses to pro-
prietors of theaters. This law pro-
vides that the Commissioners may "en-
force all reasonable and usual police
regulations. in addition to those al
ready made under act Of January 26,
1887, as they may deem necessary for
the protection of lives, limbs, health,
comfort and quiet of all persons and
the protection of all property within
the District of Columbia.
AS the new regulation regarding SUM-
day entertainments is only a slight de-
parture from the old law. the Commits
date enforcement would work a hard
ship: The regulation prohibits giving
OF SHOWS in costume or the changing
OF scenery.

TONNAGE TAX COLLECTIONS
BREAK THIRTY-YEAR MARK
Total on Entry Of AL Vessels in o. 8.
Foreign Trade During Fiscal
Year, $1,314,e1e.so.

Tonnage taxes collected on the entry
Of vessels, American and foreign, in
the foreign trade of the United States
during the past fiscal year, ended June 80,
were the largest in more than thirty
years. amounting to s1,s14.s1S.sO. de-
clares the Department of Commerce.
This amount is s4.157.17 greater than
for the year ended June 80, 1914.
British and French ships paid $780,
0s4, or $201 more than during the year
ended June 80, 1914; German ships.
which paid $1s6,s44 in 1914, this year
paid only $25,S71, nearly all Of which
was paid in July and early August,
1914. American ships paid s1o4.7ss.
compared with $77,445 in 1914, the in
crease being due mainly to the ship
registry act and the government war
risk insurance on American ships, ex-
perts say.
The increased receipts from Ameri-
can, Dutch, Scandinavian. Spanish, Ital-
ian and Japanese ships made good the
loss of revenue from German and Aus
trian ships.
Revenue from tonnage taxes, con-
trary to expectations. has remained un-
diminished in spite of the European
war. owing principally to the great re-
duction of the immigrant traffic and
ocean pleasure travel. Tonnage taxes
are levied on five voyages of a ship a
year. Many of the large transatlantic
liners. which ordinarily make ten or
twelve voyages year, have been with
drawn from regular service and en-
ployed as transports to carry the
troops of the allies from all parts of
the world to the several seats of war.
Their places in American trade have
been partly supplied by cargo steam
ers, making relatively few voyages
each. and paying tonnage taxes, ac-
cordingly, on each entry.

attempt to clear the remainder of that
territory of Russian troops, which, If
carried to a conclusion, would result
in the Russians being forced back into
their provinces of volhynia and Pa
