The statement of the secretary is based on a prelim- mary report of a sweeping investiga- tion conducted by Comfnissioner of Internal Revenue Osbourne.
 l. Frauds committed as long ago as 1902, immediately after the enact ment of the law, have been uncovered by the commissioner He began his inquiry some months ago, and from time to time news of prosecutions has reached the public, but until last night no ink1ing had been given out of the wide scope of the investigation or of it's extraordinary results Unpaid taxes aggregating s851, ,0O0 have been recovered and deposited in the treas ,ury, with the prospect of further very large collections" Forty-two. violators of the law have been con- yicted since the first of January and twenty-nine Of these. Fines aggre- gatings S148.O00 have been assessed, in addition to the recoveries actually made, and the announcement declares that while fradulent practices of this sort probably have been checked, the investigation will be continued and every law breaker brought to jus. tice.''

ENDS HIS LIFE AT
 HOME OF DAUGHTER
Philip Chase, BIicklayer, Found Dead in Yard-Commits Suicide by
 Drinking Carbolic Acid

Philip Chase, until a few months ago resident of this city, committed suicide sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning by drink ing the contents of an ounce vial of carbolic acid at the home of hia, daughter Mrs Nelson, in Southing- ton. His lifeless form was found lying in the yard by his son -in-law early Sunday morning.
 The family can give no reason for his rash act. Chase was bricklayec by trade and was a drinking man but as a rule he worked steadily. It Is thought that he was breeding over troubles of which he kept the natur q to himself and did not confide in his friends
 He left the home of his daughter Saturday afternoon in apparent good spirits and came to this city. How long he spent here could not be de- termined but the bottle which con- tained the acid bore the label of lc- cal drug store.
 The deceased leaves daughter and son, Frank Chase, whose present whereabouts is not known

TO PROTEST MISUSE
 OF AMERICAN FLAG
New Note to Great Britain Will Prob- ably Carry Representations Against
 Actions of English Steamers

Washington, June 21.-New repre- sentations to Great Britain on mis- use of the American flag by English steamers probably will be made in the new note which is being prepared to deal further with Interruptions to neutral commerce. It was stated of fcially today that individual com plaints of such instances had come to the state department; they had been laid before the London foreign office, but that the next note would again deal with the subject generally.
 The state department was in receipt today of a despatch from Ambassador Gerard representing Germany's claim that the submarine U-29 was ram med and sunk by British steamer flying the colors of Sweden. The message, it was said, containing no comment as to the possible effect on the possible effect on the negotiations with Germany. The British admiralty has denied the German allegation Berlin takes the view that the inci- dent has bearing in the negotiations with the United States over submarine warfare. American officials, while not admitting this, are curious to know how the German admiralty got it's information inasmuch as every one on the U-29 was reported lost
 Officials feel, however, that misuse of neutral flags complicates the issue with Germany and the new note will contain something on the subject Sev- eral instances of the use of neutral flags other than that of the United States have been brought to the at tention of the state department
 The ambassador has as yet been unable to give any indications of the probable date of the reply to the last American note. It is assumed from official reports, however, that it may be sent some time next week
