 AMOUNTED TO $27, ,ooo, ,ooo.
Government Defrauded to That
 Amount by VioIators of Law.

Washington, June 20.-How violators of the oleomargarine law have de- frauded the federal government out of at least $27.O00,o00 due in stamp and special taxes was revealed tonight by Secretay NcAdoo in a statement bas- ed upon a preliminary report on sweeping investigat conducted by Commissioner Osborne of the internal revenue bureau.
 Frauds committed as long ago as 1902, immediately after the enactment of the law, have been uncovered by the commissioner. He began his in quiry some months ago and from time to time news of prosecutions has reached the public, but until tonight no irkling had been given of the wide scope of the investigation or of its extraordinary results. Unpaid taxes aggregating $851,000 have been recovered and deposited in the treas ury, with the prospect of further very large collections.' Forty-two vii olators of the law have tHen convict ed since the first of January and twnty-nine of these have been given prison sentences. Fines aggregating S14S,000 have been assessed, in ad- dition to the recoverieS actually made, and the announcement declares that while fraudulent practices of this sort probably have been checked the in vestigation will be continued and ev- ry law breaker brought to justice."
 The announcement shows that since 1902 more than 100000, 900 pounds of colored oIeomargarine have been man ufactured and fraudulent1y sold as un- colored oleomaragarine.

A Record in Saving.

An example of almost unbelievable thrift was exposed when the shack occupied for a number of years by Owen Rupert. 8 helpless cripple, in Newport, Or, was searched, following death, and revealed more than $500 in gold
 For about twenty years Rupert had been a bedridden cripple without any funds or means of support except S1O a month from Lincoln County. His shack was 9 one-story building on piling over Yaquina Bay
 On some of the bright days of sum- mer Rupert would be seen sitting in 8 chair which he had to be helped into, but that was all the pleasure he got in life, as, few Newport residents knew of his existence or visited him. It was from the county appropriation that the $500 was saved after the bare necessities had been npurchased-Ex- change.

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL
 MAXIMUM SIMULTANEOUS
Harvard President So Informed Sen
 iors in BaccaIaureate.

Cambridge, Mass, June 20.-Human growth reaches it's physical and it's mental maximum at about the same period, Dr. A. Lawrence Lowell, presi- dent of Harvard, told the seniors of that university in his baccalaureate address today.
 "A man reaches his full growth physically at about Is or 19 and then begins to lose his keener perceptions at about the age of 23 which may be called the physical maximum" said Dr. Lowell. 'The mental maximum is reached 2. great deal earlier than most people suppose; Coleridge wrote his best poems when 29 years old, and many other famous men have accom- plished their best work at about this age. If this be true. you have reached your physical maximum and are close upon your mental maximum. You may gain something from experience. but your actual capacity will increase very little."
 Continuing, Dr. Lowell urged the men to make the most of theft opportuni- ties.

 The crisis of the Austro-German drive is at hand. Grodek is secure in the possession of General Won Mack ensen'S men and the Germans and the Austrian corps under Field Marshal Won Arz are reported by Berlin to be storTning and capturing, one after an- other, the Russian trenches along the entire front before Lemberg. extending from RaVa Ruska, in the north, to Janow. which lies only Il miles from the Galician capital.
 This front is 24 miles in extent and the fighting here has been of the most stubborn character. To the south, be- tween Grodek and the Dnj marsh es, the Russians are also being hard pressed
 Although the Russian war office has had little to say of late regarding the Galician campaign, unofficial reports from Petrograd declare that the rapid retirement of the Russian forces has been accomplished without any de- norahzatiOn whatsoever and intimate that the Russian lines have been strengthened and put in 6 state of pre- paredness to meet the further advance of the vast forces which are being flung against them.
 Both French and British in the western war zone are on the offensive and heavy artillery engagements with numerous infantry attacks have been in progress continuously in the regions of La Bassee. Arras, in Lorraine and the Vosses. As usual, the French and German war offices are at variance as to the results attained As an in stance, Paris says that in the sector to the north of Arras the French in an attack advanced about two-thirds of a mile, while Berlin asserts that the French at this point were repu1sed

At this time the schools that were established. the churches that were organized, the mills that were built were all the fruit of past exper- fence, and comprehend all that was known at that time in each of these several branches of endeavor. The lesson to be drawn is that individulisrn is giving way to social consciousness.

Freight Clerks
 Threaten Strike
REFUSE TO ACCEPT TERMS OF TERED BY NEW HAVEN ROAD.
ROAD REMAINS FIRM
General Manager 5ardo Says That in
 the Event of Strike the Company Will Endeavor to Perform It's Duty to It's Faithful Employees and Public.

New York, June 2O.-C. L. Bardo, general manager of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, an- nounced today that his company had been notified by it's freight clerks that no settlement of their grievances could a conference last Monday. MT. Bardo said that the announcement came as a surprise in view of the fact that the men had at the conference and in the presence of one of the mediators ap- pointed by Secretary of Labor Wilson agreed upon a settlement.
 Statement bv General Manager.
 Nr Bardo's statement is as follows:
 Since the statement issued on June by the company regarding the con- uoVersy with it's freight clerks nego- tiations have been going on with a view to reaching an agreement. At an extended conference held on Monday, June II, between the clerks commit tee and the operating officers of the company, at which the federal con clliauor, Clifton Reeves, was present, all the questions at issue, some six teen, were fully discussed and a meth cd of settlement reached in fourteen of them, and in respect to the two re- maining cases a plan of adjustment was tentatively agreed upon.
 Right of Company.
 "One of these two cases relates to the right of the company to determine the fitness and ability of a freight clerk seeking promotion to the position of foreman which requires ability to oversee and direct freight house opera tlons. the company having taken the stand that it alone and not the en- ployes must be the judge of the mans fitness for advancement. The other relates to the right of the company to classify its employees.
 Ability and Fitness.
 ''The obligation of the company to decide the question of ability and fit ness is fundamental and it's officers are required by law to select compe- the officers expressed a willingness to submit to arbitration whether the com pany's position in respect to these two eases is justified.
 ''The adjustment of the sixteen cases tentatively agreed to by the committee and the company met with the ap- proval on the part of the federal con ciliator who had been invited by the clerks committee to assist in the set tlement of the controversy. The mat ter thus having apparently come to a successful conclusion, the management was amazed to receive communications from the clerks committee on June Is and F advising that no settlement could be made in the manner agreed upon at the Monday conference.
 Will Fulfill Obligations.
 'In the event that some of the com pany's freight clerks go on strike, as now seems likely, the company will endeavor by all proper means to per- form its obligation to it's loyal em- ployes and to the shipping public" STRIKE TO BE DECLARED
 BY NOON TODAY. Unless General Manager Bardo Agrees
 to Confer With Brotherhood Repre-
