REVENUES SHOW INCREASE,

Washington, March 6.-Govern-
ment revenues have begun to show
slight increase, due largely to the usu-
al spring import business with con-
sequent enlarged receipts from Gus
toms. The treasury deficit, which a
few weeks ago was in the neighbor-
hood of ss5.OOO.OOO. has fallen to
about sSO,000.OO and in the next few
months there may be a further reduc-
ton.
Although treasury officials are
loath to make any predictions when
such unusual conditions prevail, the
experiene OF years has taught them
to figure on increased receipts from
customs from about March until the
end Of the fiscal year In June. If the
increase Is sufficient to keep the pres
ent deficit at a standstill the income
may possibly wipe it out entirely. The
time for making income tax return
has expired. but 1t will be weeks be-
fore treasury officials are able to esti-
mate how the tax is to act as a reve.
nue. producer this year.
Secretary McAdoo has estimated
that about sSO.OOO.OOO would be re-
ceived from this source, but condi-
tions have changed materially since
his estimate was made.
SO far the emergency tax law has
failed to live up to expectations and
the postofiice department is running
behind it's usual business. Calcula-
tions made at the direction of Mr.. Nc
Adoo or revenue and expenses have
differed widely at different times. The
question of issuing Panama bonds
has not been decided upon, but it is
thought that If there is a deficit Mr..
McAdoo will not hesitate to use his
authority to put out such an issue.

FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT.
BUILDING ON HAMPTON AVE-
NUE. DESTROYED, But AD-
JACENT PROPERTY
WAS SAVED.
Loss Estimated at About $4,000 with
Insurance of $500 on shop and
Slight Damage to Residence -
Several Automobiles Burned.

! Fire at about 7.30 o'clock Saturday
evening destroyed a building on the
corner of Hampton Avenue and Sum-
ter street which was used by the d.
{. Shaw company as an automobile
garage and repair shop. At the time
that the place caught fire, there were
SIX or seven cars and number of
horses and mules in the building. The
stock was moved out, but several of
the cars were burned and a quantity
OF automobile supplies. Mr.. Shaw
stated this morning that he estimated
his loss at about s2,50O with insur-
ance of $1,000 on the automobiles
and supplies. He also had insur-
ance of $1,000 on the building, which
was practically destroyed.
The cause of the fire is not known
as there was no fire in the shop at the
time. 1t is supposed. however, that 1t
caught from a spark from the Chin
ney OF the adjoining residence, the
"AHN DSih6 iIoIIi tIldI OlTeCt1On. Inc
residence, which was owned by Per-
ry Moses. Jr., was damaged on one
side to a considerable extent, the
loss being covered by insurance on
the building.
There seems TO have been some de-
lay in the sounding of the fire alarm
and this gave the fire a big start, the
whole building being in q blaze when
the alarm rang. 1t was by excellent
work that the fire department saved
the adjacent residence and buildings
across the street, which caught from
the heat but were extinguished. The
hremen did some fine work.
Another alarm came from the same
fire later on in the evening, a blaze
having started up again. but this fire
was speedily extinguished.

election will be necessary and the
state will be relieved OF the heavy
expense OF the special election. The
people voted for Mr.. Johnson in good
faith. expecting him to serve out the
full term. unless providentially re-
moved. III II had been known that
he would resign to accept a better Job
before his term began. few people
would have voted for him and q
congressman who would have stuck
on the job would have been chosen.
In the circumstances II would be a
fair proposition for Mr.. Johnson TO
pay the expenses OF the special con-
sressional election. IL ne prefers the
judgeship to the job as congressman
that the people Of his district gave
him at his urgent solicitation. There
should be some provision I'm law TO
care for cases OF this sort. When a
office-seeker is elected to a position
he should be required to serve out
tho term. unless removed by provi-
Dental causes. or IL he resigns for
purely personal reasons to accept a
better job. he should be required to
indemnify the State for the expenses
Of the election to select his sue
cessor. A public office should not be
made the stepping stone to a better
paying job at the expenses of the
public.
The French have seized and con-
fiscated the Dacia. the former Ger
man steamship. which was interned
at Galveston at the outbreak of the
war and subsequently purchased by
an American citizen of German an
tececents and transferred to American
registry. All the circumstances con-
nected with the purchase and change
OF registry OF Dacia and her dispatch
to Europe with a cargo OF cotton for
Germany lead TO the conclusion that
the whole affair was n frame-up 20
make test case to settle the status
OF interned German vessels. The case
has now passed into the hands Of the
officials OF the United States govern
ment for settlement with tho French
government. The ostensible owner OF
the Dacia succeeded admirably in
making a test case and IL 1t was his
own money that he paid for the Da-
cia he paid n big price to satisfy his
curiosity lie may feel that the mon
ey was we'll spent. II the Dacia case
results in serious friction between
the United states and France.
