GREATEST EVER.
Total of the Internal Revenue Receipts
Breaks Records.

Washington, Aug. 2s.--The greatest to.
tai OF internal revenue receipts in the
history of the government, with income
tax from individuals. nevertheless, S42,.
100000 under the amount estimated by
the trainers of the income tax law when
il was enacted, were recorded in the an
nual report OF the commissioner Of in
ternal revenue yesterday.
The aggregate receipts during the fiscal
year ended June 30, including corpora.
tion and individual income taxes reached
S4l5.O00,OO0. against S3s0lO00,000 for the
previous year.
Corporations paid in s3o,144,52a and
individuals S4l .O46 l66.
At the capitol yesterday IL was er-
planned that the world wide depression
on account Of the war in 1914 partly ex-
planned the falling OF from the original
income tax estimate and that while the
trainers Of the law figured that there
were at least 100 people IN the United
States with incomes OF 81 100000 or
more, there were only Al having such
incomes.

perhaps be more effective in keeping it
out of Germany than were the orders Ia
council. III the worlds cotton require
ments by reason OF the war were cur
tailed 100000 bales for the coming sea-
son, he pointed out that would represent
the amount that would usually go 70
Germany
The federal reserve board he said, has
been advised by the department of agri.
cultures Office of markets that the pub
lie, private and cotton mill warehouses
in the cotton growing states IN 1914 had
an aggregate storage capacity Of ll,577,-
465 bales.
1T is though not at all unlikely" he
said, shat before the present crop comes
to market there will be 5000 warehouses
of all classes in the South. Should this
| prove true, there will be storage capacity
| in the southern warehouses for not less
than l2,500,000 bales of flat cotton, while
the cotton mill warehouses will be able
to take care of 100000 bales. Concen-
sus of opinion of representatives of the
federal reserve banks of St. Louis, Rich
mond. Dallas, Atlanta and Kansas City,
consulted by counsel for the federal re-
serve board, seems to be that the holder
of negotiable warehouse recsirt~ is pro-
tected from all claims of subsequent lien
holders and subsequent creditors the
original owner Of the commodity covered
by the receipt.
I'm view of difficulties that may arise
in satisfying distant leaders as to the
validity under all conditions Of ware
house receipts for cotton offered them
as collateral, it would seem that, for the
present, at least loans on cotton must
be first negotiated through local banks in
the South. These banks have now am
pie facilities which they have never be-
fore enjoyed for rediscounting the notes
taken against such loans and it is for
them more than for any other agency
to determine The policy of the South in
regard to the marketing Of the present
cotton crop. The results of a gradual
marketing of the crop this season will be
far more satisfactory than would be the
case were the crop forced upon the mar
ket within short period.
"You have an opportunity of eonserv-
ing the value of the South's greatest as
set and upon you, southern bankers and
merchants, rests the responsibility OF
the veal or woe of great agricultural
section perhaps for years. Leading tipan-
ciers freely express the fear that tho
sudden prosperity developed in some sec
tions and along certain lines of industry
will be followed by period of wild spec
ulation and imitation. The banking re-
serves of this country are considerably
more than 81 000,000,000 in excess of lc-
gal requirements. Our gold holdings,

FIGHT GAS WITH FIRE.
British Have New Scheme to Counterfeit
German Method.

London, Aug. IS. The British army
plans to fight the German gas attacks
with fire. This is the scheme recon-
mended By committee of inventors
headed by Sir Hiram Maxim, who has
designed a simple apparatus which the
government is now testing.
The object OF the apparatus is to
cause large and rapidly spreading fires
by means OF specially designed incen.
diary bombs thrown in the path OF the
advancing gas at distance OF several
hundred yards. BY this means, since
the heating OF the air must cause an up
ward current, it is expected 10 drive
the gas up out of harms way.
Sir Hiram's explanation OF the scheme
is as follows;
"The German gas az one atmosphere
OF pressure is two and half times as
heavy as air. In escaping into the air il
very quickly becomes mixed with
large quantity of air, so that by the
time il reaches our trenches il is, as a
rule, less than ! per cent heavier than
the surrounding air; that is. il is ex-
tremely Light as compared with the air,
but IL is quite strong enough TO prove
fatal. In most cases we find the air
that has only one-thousandth part of
chlorine is the one that has done the
most harm.
at occurred to me some months ago
that, u fire could be produced between
the gas and our trenches, the rapid up.
ward movement Of the air would take
the chlorine along with IL. and this Is
quite true. The bombs that l made
were thrown by hand, but il was found
that, in order TO be thrown any distance,
they had to be made quite small, and, !
they could not be thrown a.
far a. the officers wished 10 throw them. |
delivered 100 20 the government for /
experiment purposes. A few Of these l
have been tested. and Il was found that 1
the FIRE should be greater and farther 4
away, 50 ! have designed very much 1
simpler and larger form. The firm in
London who proposes 60 make them 4
have designed a machine for throwing
hem with great accuracy a distance Of
200 yards. which will be quite enough.
By this means a Ere Of any sire may
he produced and II the FIRE l. large
enough the gas must BE- dissipsted; Il
'annot BE- otherwise.
The first bombs I designed involved
Ne use Of petrol, but IL ~ss thought
hat the consumption would h. 80 larse
hat there might be a shortage I have
therefore, been experimenting, and am
low in possession Of = liquid that does
ust AZ wen and only costs half ~ much.

Conference Nations Have
Sanctioned Proposals in
Reply to Inquiry
ANSWER TO
BE FORWARDED
Carranza Denies the Mexico
City Famine Report-Re-
turn to City Planned

Washington, Aug. 2s.--Gen. Carranza's
inquiry as to whether the Pan American
diplomats, in appealing to him for a
peace conference, were acting personally
or with the sanction of their respective
governments, was answered yesterday.
Officials stated that Carranza would be
informed that Sec. Lansing and the Lat
n-American conferees attached their full
titles with their signatures to the APP
peal. This, it was said, was of itself an
assurance that they were acting with the
authority of their respective govern
ments.
Advices from Vera Cruz to the state
department yesterday said that furniture
and documents belonging to the Carranza
government were being sent to Mexico
City. No mention of Gen. Carranza was
made, but department officials expected
to hear that Carranza would leave for
Mexico City in the near future.
Consul Siliman at Vera Cruz cabled
the state department communication
from Jesus -aiCuHd, zen. 1dIIdHLd IOI-
eign minister, asking that he inquire
whether Sec. Lansing and the Latin
American diplomats acted in their Off
cial or private capacities in addressing
the appeal to Mexican leaders for a peace
conference. This was the first word from
the Carranza government concerning the
PAN American appeal, and il was accept
ed as an indication that the formal reply
probably would not be Forthcoming for
another week.
Officials were at loss to explain the
object of the Carranza's minister's query.
In some quarters, however, 1t was sug
gested that Carranza probably desired to
delay his final response, which is expect
I'd to be an appeal for recognition, pend |
ing the establishment of his government |
IN Mexico City, which is now in progress
md the outcome of Gen. Obregon's cam
Daign against Villa forces in the north.

Speeches

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Sec. Garrison
made public yesterday Maj Gen Woods
reply to the secretary's telegram OF
Thursday directing that no repetition be
permitted of the incident at the Platts-
burg camp precipitated by former Pres
Roosevelt's speech to the men in train
ing there.
"Your telegram received and policy laid
down will be rigidly adhered to-" Gen.
Wood telegraphed.
In statement yesterday See Garrison
said:
Il have just read Mr.. Roosevelt's state
ment. / see he blames the whole thing
on me. He takes the position that it is
notorious that he has the habit of max
ing indiscreet speeches ana that, it, there
fore, was my duty to find out if he in
tended to 60 to Plattsburg and If so to
head him off and save him from him
self.
"Well, maybe that's so, but it's rather
large order. He is very active man and
i am a very busy one and it's going to be
a pretty hard job for me to keep my eye
on him all the time.
"The colonels attitude about himself
reminds me of the story OF the Maine
farmer who was on his way to the rail

friend. He replied: I'm going down to

Gary, Ind, Aug. 2s.-Despite the ar

the police here admitted they have not

Rev. Edmund kayser, Lutheran pastor,

gandist and supplier OF information re-
garding Gary's steel industries to Ger.

They declared they are at loss to
know whether kayser was killed by pro-

his own race because he was opposed to
certain innovations they wanted 20 make
in the running OF his church, or whether
some person with whom Kayser had

ROOSEVELT DEFENDS HIMSELF
Considers that War Department Had
Ample Time to Censure Speech.

|
New York, Aug. o. Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, advised of Secretary CARR
sons telegram to Major General Leon
ard Wood, late Thursday said that he
was entirely responsible for his own re-
marks at Plattsburg. He also said he
considered the secretary had no right to
criticise General Wood. Colonel Roose-
yelt's remarks were contained in state
rnent IT read AZ follows;
Nearly three weeks ago it was an
nounced in the public press, the state
ment being carried prominently in ev-
cry big newspaper, that in addition to
! President Wilson and Secretary Carl
son some scores of private citizens had
been asked to go to Plattsburg camp
where it was expected they would speak
to the men. Among the names men
toned in addition to my own were those
of former President Taft, Samuel Com
pers and John Mitchell. 1t is of course
impossible that Secretary Garrison can
have been ignorant that we were asked
and if he desired General Wood to mott
fy us in advance what we were expect
ed to say or leave unsaid, it was clearly
his duty to direct the general accord
ingly.
when the war department after three
weeks public notice made no objection
to my coming, they stopped themselves
from any right to criticise General Wood
because ] was coming or because | did
not submit my speech in advance to the
administration for approval. | am OF
course solely responsible for that speech
and until Wednesday General Wood had
no more idea than Secretary Garrison
what ! was going to say. In the speech
not only did / never mention the presi-
dent, but ! never mentioned the admin
istration. ! spoke purely of the nation;
OF the people of the United States.
II spoke on the assumption that the !
men who paid their expenses in order |
to go to this camp were citizens deep /
w interested in the welfare of their /
men who know that the great
ast value of this camp lies not in the
months training 10 each of the two or
three thousand college students and bus
mess men, but in the object lesson af-
iorded in teaching our people what this
nation should do for all her sons by
teaching them in time of peace how to
10 their duty by the nation in time of
var.
"If the administration had displayed
me tenth the spirit and energy in hold
ng Germany and Mexico 10 account for
he murder of American men, women
md children that il is now displaying
n the endeavor TO prevent our people
rom being taught the need of prepare
ion TO prevent the repetition of such
murders in the future, il would be ren.
iering a service TO the people Of this
ountry.
General Wood issued orders that at
enhance AT my speech was not required
4 any man that IL was optional 10
ONE or not; orders which at once es-
ablished the fact that he had no re-
for the speech. II was de-
ivcred' outside the line OF tents and ,
ne.half the audience was made mp Of !
zen and women from the surrounding
ountry." II
The colonel seemed perturbed at the
lea that his own remarks might reflect I
4 any way upon the record Of General {

HOW TO HEAL
SKIN-DISEASES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringwo-m, rashes and SIM
liar itching, burning skin troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar OF
resinol ointment and a cake of resinol
soap. These will not cost bit more
than seventy.fve cents. With the res
mol soap and warm water battle the af-
fectcd parts thoroughly, until they are
free from crusts and the skin is soft
ened. Dry very gently, spread on thin
layer of the resinol ointment, and cover
with light bandage--if necessary to
protect the clothing. This should be
done twice day. Usually the distress
ing itching and burning stop with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.
