President of the City Commission
George B. Ward announced last night
that should the courts decide that the
a street tax the funds already collected
would be refunded to the citizens as
they presented their receipts at the city
comptroller's office.
Mr.. Ward admitted that in all prob
ability the street tax ordinance would
be contested in the courts, but that un-
til the supreme court had passed on the
constitutionality of the law he urged
upon the citizens to pay their street
position in order to avoid unneces
sary trouble and embarrassments.
Undoubtedly, said Commissioner
Ward, someone will seek to enjon us
from enforcing the street tax. This has
been done quite successfully in the past
and no doubt others, encouraged by
past performances, will seek further to
impede the city with legal attacks
However, until the street tax has been
declared invalid by the supreme court
1t is a law and the citizens should obey
1t and pay their street taxes upon de-
mand from the collectors. To avoid
trouble and any possible embarrass-
ments payments of the street taxes
should be made on or before August l,
in accordance with the city ordinance,
as it will be enforced impartially but
firmly.
ALL WILL BE REPAID
But should the supreme court de-
eide that the city commission exceed
ed it's powers in imposing a street tax
1 now authorize the announcement that
all funds collected under the provi-
sions of the street tax ordinance will be
refunded to the citizens upon the pre-
sentation of their receipts at the city
office. Therefore the citi-
zens should pay their street taxes and
hold on to their receipts, as the city
will make a prompt refund if the courts
decide against us.

Appam lost her status as a prize when
she entered American territorial waters
to remain indefinitely. He rejected the
German contention that the Prussian-
American treaty of 1888 permitted Ger
man prizes to be laid up in American
waters. and held that prizes could be
brought in only by a war vessel acting
as convoy and then only for the tempo
rary causes recognized by International
law. An opinion given by Secretary
Lansing to the German ambassador to
the same effect was quoted at length
by the court.
A decision by German prize court that
the Appam was lawful prize was held
to be without effect upon proceedings of
the courts of the United States. The
same German court recently adjudged
prize money some $780, 200 in gold taken
from the Appam when she was captured

City Will Repay All
Street Taxes il Law
Fails in the Courts
Ward Urges All Citizens to Pay and Gives Formal
Assurance That Refund Will Be Made if SUI
preme Court Rules Against the City

"At the present time several thou
sands of dollars have already been col
lected and no trouble is anticipated in
collecting all that is due the city. Any
person can now pay street taxes at
the various fire stations of the city
and is therefore saved a trip to the
city Everything will be done to avoid
inconveniencing the public"
COLLECTIONS ARE SLOW
The statement of Commissioner
Ward was issued through the fact that
the various policemen collectors who
went out to demand the street taxes
yesterday met with rebuffs and ex-
cuses in numerous places. The most
common excuse for not paying the tax
to the collectors was that they would
wait and see what the courts said OF
the ordinance. The officers would re-
ply that the citizens should pay ANY,
way, as their money would be re-
funded if the city lost the case. The
reply would then be made that in the
liquor tax case the city had kept the
money and that they did not propose
to take any more chances.
According to the opinion of Horace
C. Wilkinson, who announced that he
would seek leueTdl
against the street tax, the police have
no right to arrest any person that re-
fuses to pay the street tax. The city
officials, according to Mr.. Wilkinson.
may sue in the courts for the payment
of the tax, but no person can be ar
rested for the nonpayment of debt,
as that would be in violation of the
constitution.
According to the announcement OF
the city commission it is not the pur-
pose of the collectors to arrest any
one unless person definitely refuses
to pay his street tax. All who want a
little time will be accomm odated after
August 1, and wide latitude is given
Comptroller Louis Levy in making the
collections, as his instructions are that
the public must not be unnecessarily
aggravated.

If Too Fat Get
More Fresh Air
BE MODERATE IN YOUR DIET AND
REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT. TAKE
al nE knRElN

Lack of fresh air it is said weakens
the oxygen carrying power of the blood
the liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu-
lates and the action of many of the
vital organs are hindered thereby The
heart action becomes weak, work Is an
effort, and the beauty of the figure is
destroyed.
Fat put on by indoor life Is I'M
healthy and if nature is not assisted in
throwing it off serious case of obesity
may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too ctout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't walt until your figure has
become a joke and your health ruined
through carrying around a burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air; breathe deeply,
and get from Mcbride & Will or any
druggist box of oil of korein cap
sules; take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself every few days and
keep up the treatment until you are
down to normal Oil of korein is abso-
lutely harmless, is pleasant to take,
helps the digestion and even few
days treatment has been reported to
show n noticeable reduction in weight.

Good Prices OF,
Peaches 70 Can;
Vegetables High

Canning time for peaches and pears
is at hand. and grocers are advising
housewives who want to can peaches
to get busy at once. Box peaches from
Washington and bushel baskets from
Michigan are about as plentiful as they
will be this season, and the prices are
within reason. Michigan peaches sell
for $3.50 a bushel. Kieter pears from
Illinois, which are a popular fruit for
canning, are also on hand now, and
are of good quality this year. Plums,
which have been scarce so far, can be
obtained locally in fairly good guam
titles, and are of fine quality. Plum
marmalade is favorite with Gamers
this year, say the grocers.
Vegetables are none too plentiful,
with some of the more common ones
taking jumps in prices. The common
ordinary onion, at which some turn up
their noses. but which is necessary for
all seasoning, is going upward. Ordi-
nary onions are selling by the pound
now, something unheard of here. Six
cents is being asked. which is cheap
compared to cities, where one must
pay 10 cents pound. Cauliflower is
another vegetable often thought of as
always plentiful, which is very scarce.
All on the market is shipped in and
sells by the pound also.
Potatoes. which have been causing
considerable uneasiness by their high
prices, have dropped. Those which
were selling at 60 cents a peck are
now down to As and so. Sweet pota-
toes of the Jersey variety are about
the same price. and there are plenty of
them on hand. More grapes from near
by are for sale. with prospects of the
shipped-in brands in another week or
50.
The last call for canning peaches,
and the high price of common onions
and caulifower, feature the market this
week.

MANY YOUNG PEOPLE OF CITY GO
TO COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

That many young people of the city
are to be in colleges and universities
this year. is shown by the annual sur
vey of the alumni of the Marshalltown
high school, just completed by Super
!ntendent Aaron Palmer, of the public
schools.
A survey of the undergraduates was
also made. in order o adapt course
to the pupils needs in both grades and
high school.
The survey shows 162 who will be or
have been in school this year taking
higher course of learning in colleges,
universities, business colleges. or DO
ing post graduate work in hiE,n school.
Most Of the showing is in the alumni
of the local school.
OF the students included the i'rgest
number attending any one school is
thirty -four, who will go to Iowa state
College, Ames The state university AZ
Iowa City gets twenty two. Grlnnel!,
Cornell Coe, Iowa State Teachers COL
lege and other Iowa schools secure
representative share, While OUTSIDE
colleges and universities are patron
lied to a great extent.
The survey brings out the informa-
ton that a large number of those at
tending college are paying all or a
large part of their expenses, and that
the colleges have been very liberal IN
granting scholarships 10 those work
ing their way. A large per cent OF
those going away to school are pre-
q
rural schools as teachers have col
lowed the normal training course in
the local high school. The demand
for post graduate work in high sea 'ol
is shown to have increased materially,
because of the cost Of a college educa-
ton. and the advantages gained in
pursuing normal training and business
courses.

FIRST FROST OF SEASON.
Temperature Drops to 35, and Some
Slight Damage Is Done.

A cold wave that followed the drop
in temperature Wednesday and came
with the cold northwest wind Thurs
day brought the first frost last night.
The temperature dropped to 80 by the
weather observers thermometer on the
low ground in the Linn creek valley.
The damage done will be slight. The
more tender vegetables and flowers
were injured but the harder varieties
were not seriously hurt. A good deal
of the corn is out of the way of dam
age by frost unless it was severe
freeze and corn that has not
reached that stage of. maturity will not
be seriously affected.
The range Of temperature for. the
day was So and 35, compared with 70
and As, the extremes Wednesday, and
81 and As. the extremes a year ago
Thursday. At o'clock this morning
the temperature was 81. compared
with SO at the same hour Thursday
