In a statement made yesterday

agent of the washington, Baltimore

the blame for the collision between
two cars of the company near Baltic
more Highlands Wednesday night. in
which 13 soldiers from Camp Meade
were injured. apparently rests on the
motorman in charge of the freight
car, which bumped into the car carry
ing the soldiers.
Mr. Graham, however, denied the
statements made by several soldiers
that there we're no rear lights burn
ing on the passenger train. He said
the lights were burning According
to his statement the passenger train
stopped at Baltimore Highlands TO
discharge passenger While it was
at a standstill a slight electrical

The motorman OF the freight car. he
said, had been given a signal that the
passenger train was stopped and an
Investigation is being made to learn
why the signal was not needed.
If was reported at the University

FEDERAL INCOME TAX
MUST BE PAID JANUARY
Where Offices viii Be Located POST
office Building Here fram Jan.
2to Feb 5

In a communication received by
this paper, Collector OF Internal Reeve
nue.. Joshua W Miles. announces that
federal income tax officer will be
sent into this county and viii be To-
ca.ed as follows: IN the post Office at
Annapolis from January . TO February
;. and IN Brooklyn post Office from
February 5 to March !. 1918
He viii be every day ready and
willing to help persons subject to the
income tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for his serv-
ices.
How many income taxpayers will
there be in Anne Arundel County? II
you can guess no many married per-
sons living with wife or husband Will
have net incomes OF $4,000 or over and
how many unmarried persons viii
have net incomes OF 81. 900 or over this
year, then you know. The Collector
OF Internal Revenue estimates that
there will be 1900 taxpayers in this
county
Returns OF income for the year 1917
must be made on forms provided for
the purpose before March /, 1918 Be-
cause a good many people don't un-
derstand the law and won't know how
TO make out their returns, the govern
ment is sending in this expert to do
il for them But the duty is on the
taxpayer TO make himself known to
The government. If he doesn't make
return as required before March l he
may have TO pay a penalty ranging
from $40 to 81 900. In such case he
also becomes liable TO prosecution;
to the payment of fine or to impris-
onment, but the Collector insists that
in the Maryland District taxes on in
comes made higher to carry on the
war will be cheerfully paid and there
will be no necessity for prosecutions
or the imposition Of penalties
OF course, persons resident of other
counties may, if they want to, come
and see the income tax man at the
above locations
The Collector suggests that every
body start figuring up now his income
and expenses so as to be ready with
the figures when the expert arrives.
Expenses. however, don't mean family
expenses, money used to pay off the
principal of debt new machinery,
buildings, or anything like that. They
mean what you spend in making your
money. interest, taxes paid, hired help,
amount paid for goods sold seed,
stock bought for feeding, rent Eek
cept for your dwelling). etc. Income
includes about every dollar you get.

PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF

Refinery President Opposes Limit on
Consumption Gives Reasons
For Recent Furry

Senate Investigating Committee yes
terday. He opposed placing a limit
On domestic consumption, contending
that any such plan would result in a
larger surplus than the tonnage
shortage would permit to be shipped
abroad.
Half Of the worlds sugar crop out
side of the Central Powers, Mr.. Babst
said, is produced in the United States
it's territories and Cuba, and if prop
erly distributed this production is
more than enough to meet domestic
demands as well as supply all that
can be shipped TO the Allies.
OF this years shortage. Mr. Babst
said, it had it's inception in unwar-
ranted famine stories spread broad
east earl yin the year, which resulted
in boarding, and has been aggravated
by series of unavoidable conditions
ever since. When people began to
hoard the refineries held large stocks
but soon these were materially re-
Guced because of strikes fomented by
the Industrial Workers of the World
Then came an unprecedented demand
he said, because of the Food Admin
isirator's canning campaign The
pinch came little earlier than might
be expected because England took
100000 tons of the Cuban crop. which
normally comes to this country, and
when the late beet crop came on the
