All previous American record for

record tax collections on these and
other articles.
Here are the grand totals OF pro-
duction on which taxes were paid:
Distilled spirits from every source
rye. corn, wheat, apples, peaches,
pears, pineapples, oranges. apricots,
berries, prunes, figs and cherries-164, :
6S5 .24s gallons. an increase OF IS, 00o, 900
gallons over the previous year, yield
ing a tax return OF s1ss, ,653, ,O55.
Cigars of all descriptions and
weight, 9,216,9O1, ,113 approximately
ninety per capita-as compared with
s,337, ,72O,530 the previous year.
Cigarettes, 80. 529. .193, ,53s, as compared
with 2,0s7, 757, ,O7s, an increase of more
than 10 per cent.
Tobacco, chewing and smoking, AS
763. .20s pounds, an increase Of $780,
600 pounds.
The production OF beer, while ex-
ceeding that of the previous year, fell
considerably below the high record of
Sc, ,0O0, 900 barrels in 1914. Taxes were
paid last year of 6O,729,5O barrels at

Not long ago, 1t appears. a certain
British patrol boat in the North Sea
overhauled a large merchant steam
ship flying the Dutch flag. Upon being

Of the patrol commander and he deter

aboard.
The merChantman accommodatingly
lowered a companion ladder for the
convenience Of the boarding party,
and apparently was making a great
show OF activity in preparations to
receive the Britons.
The object of the preparations was
made manifest as soon as the boat
came alongside, when a bomb was
hurled from the deck of the supposed
merchantmen into the small boat.
The explosion annihilated the board
ing party.
At the same time torpedoes were
launched by the "Dutchman' at both
patrol vessels. Both the torpedoes
missed their mark, and a second later
broadsides from the patrol boats
avenged the fate of their comrades.

SUFFS WILL PICKET
DURING Big PARADE

In defiance to the District police,
and with two former arrests as
warnings that picketing will no longer
be tolerated in the National Capital,
suffs at Cameron House announced
last night that a force OF militants
will attempt to display banners at
the gates Of the White House today,
when all Washington is taking part
in the parade for drafted men. Ten
OF the silent sentinels will take part
in this new-planned drive for the
cause" in spite of certain arrests by
Mai. Pullman.
At the hour when the mammoth
procession is due to pass by the
Executive Mansion, with President
Wilson marching on foot in the
vanguard, the show OF banners is
PLANNED to be made. Certain arrest
stares the women who participate,
but neither this nor the vision of
dreary wOrkhouse days at Occoquan
to follow is sufficient to deter the
pickets.
Labor Day brought disappointing
news to the workers at the little
White House." for II was announced
yesterday that Justice Robbins would
clamp down the lid tight. as far as
further appeals are concerned. This
announcement was made by the
suffs' attorney, Matthew O'Brien.

Oliver Hesse Asks Police to Aid in

An entry on the police blotter of

The cold bare facts which appear

What Oliver was doing out at

be mentioned to awaken the in
