Insiders in the Merganthaler Linotype
Corporation declare that all is harmony
and satisfaction in the ranks of the Of

the case, is accredited to a mere matter
OF form incident to a desire to obtain
large attendance of shareholders. the

ALMOST million
in CITY'S TAXES
Collector LoomiS Turns More
" Than 100000 Into Golfers

The annual statement of Tax Col
lector Bernadotte LOOMS, compiled
to noon Saturday. shows that he has
collected almost a million dollars in
taxes during the past year. The
figures total $962,632.23, against
1928, 164.70 for the year of 1915. AL
though since he took office three
years ago Tax Collector Loomis has
each year collected more taxes than
the previous year. this ratio cannot
be continued for as the back taxes
are collected and the debts of the
taxpayers paid off the sum to be COL
lected each year will gradually be re-
duced to the annual amount of taxes
levied. If, however, the grand list and
taxing system is materially changed
the collector may get more chances
to add to his laurels as a collector of
the coin of the realm for the city.

THREW DISHES AROUND.
Mrs. Andruss Has Been Trying t.
Start Divorce Proceedings.

Mrs. Emma Andruss of so South
Burritt street must behave in the flu
ture and keep any further d1sh-break-
ing stunts a secret from the police, if
she does not wish to run the risk OF
passing, at least, Is days in jail. She
is now on probation as result of a
rampage at her nome Friday night,
which resulted in Policeman William
p McCue making a hurried trip to
the Andruss home. In police court
Saturday he informed Judge James T.
Meskill that 1t looked as If a Kansas
tornado had struck the place. eyes,
I did it and will break the rest of the
dishes when I get home was her
statement as she finished brief out
fine of her conduct. "Fifteen days in
iail," was the comment Of Judge
Mes!xill. After court, upon the pleas
of her husband, Charles E. Andruss.
Jr.. probation was added to the Jail
sentence.
Mr.. Andruss testified that he called
for police aid when his wife began
throwing dishes about pronliscuously
and used improper language before
the children.
In her testimony Mrs. Andruss said
that she had been trying to get her
husbands consent to a divorce for the
past year but that he had refused to
give his consent or aid. This is the
reason, she said, that she acted so.
She also expressed the intention of
continuing such procedure as Will
cause trouble until the divorce Is
agreed upon by her husband. The po-
lice record gives her eye as forty-JWo
and as the mother of five children.
In dress and general appearance.
she looked out of place in court, much
more refined than the general run of
those appearing for arraignment.

MINERS FIND AN
IMMENSE CAVE OF ONYX

The miners at the Enterprise mine,
mile and three quarters east OF
Zinc, drove the heading of one Of their
drifts into an immense cave recently,
which from a geological standpoint is
one Of the most interesting ever dis.
covered in this section. The main
roof Of the cave IS possibly 300 feet
across and is circular in shape. The
roof is very low, being only about six
or seven feet in the highest place and
four feet in the lowest, The whole is
thickly studded with small stallactites
of cream colored onyx.
When the miners first broke into
the opening there were thousands Of
bats hanging in festoons from these
stallactites and for half an hour It
was impossible to enter without being
struck by one of these little winged
animals.
On the right side OF the big room is
an opening that goes down into a low.
er level for so feet, A ladder was
made out Of trees and lowered and the
lower level was also explored. 1t con.
tains only one room, much smaller
than the upper one.
