DISTRICT TAX COLLECTED
IN YEAR, $10,130,191.93
Exhibit for Period Ended June 80
Shows Increase Over Figures in
Previous Report.

Collections by the District tax office
during the fiscal year that ended June
80 last amounted to $10.130,191s3 ac-
cordfng to the annual report of Col
iector Ben L. Prince. This is an in
crease over the collections of the pre-
vious year Of $350,6s09s
The increase in realty taxes was
s2s5, ss5.32 and In personal taxes SILL
l1746. The big increase in personal
tax collections is attributed to the fact
| that several large accounts which were
pending before the courts were settled
during the year
accommodation again is made by the
collector that legislation be passed
which will permit the holder of a tax
title to go into a court Of equity and
seek settlement
Ample time" states the report.
( should be given the owner Of the prop
erty to settle these claims, but when
this time shall have expired, any fur
| ther delay on the part of the holder of
the property, who perhaps during all
this time has enjoyed the privilege of
occupancy or emolumenus Of rental. can
mean but one thing, and that is that he
is willing to enjoy the privileges and
protection Of government, while evad-
ing that which he, in justice, owes the
community for such privileges He
then becomes in every sense Of the
word a tax dodger"

NEGRO TROOPS MAY
. ARRIVE TOMORROW
First Separate Battalion on
Last Leg of Its Jour-
ney HomeWard.
MASTERING OUT FOLLOWS

Now on the last leg of its journey, the
lst Separate Battalion of District OF Co
lumbia Infantry, which left Naco. Ariz.,
for Rosslyn Sunday, is expected some
time tomorrow. Information received al
the offices of the Chesapeake and ONO
railway here was to the effect that the
train was to be delivered to this road
early today by the Illinois Central at
Louisville, Ky.
Owing to the fact that these trains.
which carry freight also, must not travel
at greater rate of speed than thirty
miles an hour, it probably will be tomor-
row evening before the train reaches
Rosslyn. Frequent stops must be made
also for watering and icing the cars, and
this prevents the troop trains from av-
eraging more than thirty miles
When these troops arrive they will
Immediately detrain and march to Fort
Myer where they will go into camp
preparatory to being mustered out.
This ceremony, it is estimated, will
take about ten days or two weeks,
when the men will be returned to their
civilian status.
The Sd Infantry and Troop A at San
Antonio, Tex, have created favor
able impression among the regular Of
ficers in charge of the drills.
The Signal company Is still at No
gales, and. according to dispatches, may
at Douglas, is expected to leave for
Fort Myer shortly. Battery B is also

MAN AND wife IN auto
Mr.. and Mrs. Joe ROmatke Mistaken
for Train Robbers by Two Green
G. N. Detectives-Hit Auto

Two Great Northern special detect
ives, mistaking Joe Romatke and his
wife for train robbers, shot at the
auto in which they were riding along
the Burlington road two miles west OF
Minot Monday night about ten o'clock
One of the shots struck the car, the
other missing the occupants by mar
row margin.
Romatke, who is a machinist en-
ployed by the Minot Auto Co., had
been in the country with his wife for
drive and was returning home. He
struck bad place in the road and his
cap fell off. He stopped his car as
quickly as possible and went back to
look for his cap. Not finding it, Mrs.
Romatke got out and looked with him.
They saw two men with flashlights
approaching them from along the
track and they were told to stop. Be-
lieying that they were about to be
robbed, the man and wife ran quickly
to the car, jumped in and started down
the road when the men began shoot
ing. They proved to be two of the
new Pinkerton detectives who were re-
Gently hired to take the place of Al
Rays men who resigned. They had
ridden out on No. 4O1, a freight. train,
as goods have been thrown from the
train number of nights, and they
supposed that Romatke and his wife
were waiting for the train to come
along. Mr.. and Mrs. Romatke were
in the public highway when they were
attacked and they are very indignant
over the affair. It is reported that
they will institute civil action
against the Great Northern. The af-
fair was reported to the police at once
and the detectives were brought up
onto the carpet. The police went out
with Romatke and found his cap.

HEAVY FIRE LOSS

Shortly after the noon hour on
Wednesday of last week, in the midst
of an electrical storm, lightning struck
the store of Began Brothers at Ar
doch, the bolt striking on the east end,
or rather the rear end Of the store. It
tore large hole in the roof, came
down through the floor and hit the
gasoline tank Of the lighting plant,
which exploded. Frank Began was
alone in the store at the time and was
dazed by the shock. The explosion of
the tank caused the fire to spread with
frightful rapidity and he had only
enough time to escape to the front Of
the building and get out when anoth-
er explosion caused by gases blew the
front out of the store. The fire de-
rartment was on the job and had the
streams playing on the building but
the flames had gained such headway
that it was seen that their efforts
were of no avail and they confined the
fight to saving the Windsor hotel.
