claimed that the word imam" meant

Drinking Heavily.
ST. ALBANS, Oct. II. - Mrs. Fred
Russell of the Bay is in the hospital
here in a critical condition from the eff
fccts of two revolver shots in the neck
and her husband is in Franklin county
Jail charged with the shooting which oc-
cured shortly before noon yesterday at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Bara-
bee Oh Russell street.
Russell was employed by Willard

gan drinking heavily, it is said, caus-
ing trouble which ended III his wife

ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Prosper Rich at the
Bay. Russell went to live with his
mother, Mrs. Mary Russell, at the Bay.
Russell learned of his wife s where
abouts yesterday and went to the house.
Mr., and Mrs. Barabee say he
found his wife i'll the living room and,
without n word, fired two shots.
DR.. J. G.. Perrault was summoned
and the woman was taken to the hos
pital where, assisted by DR.. Alan Da-
wilson, he removed one of the bullets
which had lodged in the muscles of the
jaw on the left side. Owing to her
critical condition it was deemed ad
visable not to try to locate the other
bullet, which lodged in the back of the
neck.
Russell went from the Barabee home
to the home of Paul Gonyeau at the
Bay, where he told Mrs. Russell s sis
ter, Mrs. TrOmblev, what he had done.

Chief of Police j. F. Mahoney, in a
badly intoxicated condition, it is said.
The revolver with which the crime was
committed was of IS calibre.

near-victim was. Another time, while
the President was walking near Du-
pont Circle, a crowd of small boys,
armed with pea shooters bombarded
him vigorously before they recognized
him, and then, when the found they
had been blowing beans at the Presi-
dent, cheered him vociferously, and
formed themselves into a personal
guard to keep other boys from similar
attacks.
Mr.. Taft's most strenuous recreation,
perhaps, was fishing. In this he fol-
lowed the example of former Presi-
dent Cleveland, than whom no more
ardent devotee of rod and line ever
lived. Fishing was voted too slow by
Mr.. Roosevelt; the Rocky mountains
and high-powered rife. with elk. bear,
deer and the like, constituted his idea
of sport Neither his successor nor
President Wilson. however. sought re-
Taxation with dog and gun or with rifle
and guide.
And so the list of presidential recrea-
tions is brief. Books, friends, golf, ten
mis-, the big out of doors. and for mild
dissipation the theater. Just like aver
age humanity, isn't it? Because, as
has been said, Presidents, after all, are
just average humans chosen by lot OF
othe: average humans to fill more or
less temporary job administering the
affairs of a nation made up of average
humans.

steamers of belligerent nations. which
may remain in port only twenty-four
hours, will not be dismantled by the

it is not even necessary for them to

The Secretary of the Treasury on
the advice of the Secretary of the
Navy advised the collector of customs
at Tampa, Fla, that he may SO act in
future. He is directed, however, to
deliver to the master of such a vessel
the printed instructions of the Navy
Department, inform him of the priv
ileges granted him and require him
not to use the radio apparatus in any
way, either for transmitting or re-
ceiving, although the apparatus need
not be sealed nor the antenna lowered

INFLUENCE OF THE WAR
ON U. S. IMPORTS IN Is
Reports for New York Port Show
Reversal as Compared
With 1914.

NEW YORK, January 26.-The effect
of the European war on the imports
Of the country is indicated in the an
nual report of the New York Chamber
of Commerce, showing that exports at
the port of New York for the fiscal
year of 1915 exceeded the imports by
s264.622,676, as against an excess of
imports over exports in 1914 of
s99.742,746.
New York's share Of the total foreign
commerce of the United States in 1915
was 1859 per cent. The average was
47.S5 per cent in the ten years from
1900 to 1910.
Total Of Foreign Commerce.
The total foreign commerce of New
York in 1915 was $2,255.672,244, an in
crease Of s176.29S,247 over 1914. That
Of all the other ports of the country
was $2.5s4.932,250. an increase of
S141,934,627 over the preceding year.
Foreign merchandise imports at New
York amounted to s975,s57,421. as
against sS9S,991,397 at other ports, and
$1,S74,S48,81S in the United States as
a whole. Thus, New York's share of

Exports Of all articles of domestic
merchandise at New York amounted to

905.462 at all other ports, and with
S2.905, 3s5,559 in the United States as a

TEST OF THE VALIDITY
OF 0vERCHARGE PENALTY
Argued in the United States gu
preme Court on Appeal From
North Carolina.

The question of whether state laws
requiring railroads to pay penalties to
shippers for failure to pay promptly
just claims against them apply to
claims for overcharges in the inter-
state shipment OF cotton. was argued
yesterday before the Supreme Court Of
tho United States. The case in which
tho point arose was that in which w.
c. Thurston sued the Southern rail-
way for overcharges on cotton ship
ped from Houston. Tex. to points in
North Carolina.
The North Carolina supreme court
held that the question Of penalties had
nothing to do with the transportation.
and hence the state law allowing the
shipper penalties for the failure to
make settlement Of tho claim for over
charges applied. The railway contends
that the North Carolina statute was in
applicable because every point con-
corning the shipment was covered by
interstate commerce laws. The rail-
way 10 seeking to have the Supreme

Add to this universal truth the fact that
in Salem the taxpayers house or his fac
tory or his store had just been burned
down over his head, and that the city
was now demanding that he pay larger
tax on that identical property, and you
get some faint conception of the feeling

who founded it got it out of the second
verse of the seventy-sixth Psalm. In
Salem also is His tabernacle and His

Jerusalem, the other being Jebru, and 1t
means city of peace" For the few
months following the action Of the COM
mission in raising taxes the modern
Salem was about as peaceful as prize
fight. The "I-told-you-so's" were out in
force, and the most popular pastime was
damning the commission.
Needing one-third more money, the
commission was confronted by two pos
sible methods It could leave the as
sessed value as it was and increase the
tax levy, or leave the tax levy what it
was and increase the assessments. On
some inexplicable theory, the commits
sion figured that If it increased the as
sessment the fact that it was collecting
more money would not be so keenly felt
by the fellow who paid 1t. 1t evidently
thought this would be more indirect,
and therefore less Objectionable. This
turned out to te a bad move. It was
hard enough to have to pay more taxes
