COAL DEALERS MUST
NOT RAISE PRICES
Government VIII Not Permit Omnis-
sion of Annual Cuts in Prices
at This Time.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Thc
government will not permit the big

customary spring reductions in price
Warning to this effect has been sent
to PRS of the largest producers in the
country by the federal trade commits
sion Information has come to the
commission that dealers were going
% seize upon the next few months to
jam orders through without the Gus
tomary reductions.
No threat of what action will be
taken if the coal producers fail to
observe the warning was contained
in the commissions admonition.
The trade commission has pre-
pared a mass of evidence and figures
bearing on cost of production and
these figures are looked upon TO fore
stall any indirect advances by the
coal companies. The figures are based
ON companies which produce 70 per
cent of the entire anthracite output
and show that any increases will be
absolutely unjustified.

BIC INCOME: TAX
BEING PREDICTED
Is Thought Country viii Pay About
$3o0,ooo,ooo in Taxes This
Year.

Preliminary reports 20 the treasury
department from every section of the
country since March 1 indicate that
the government will collect $500. 900.
coo in income taxes during the current
fiscal year, or about two and a half
times as much as in the preceding -
months. In all the internal revenue
receipts are expected to exceed s7Oo..
100000, an increase of nearly 5000 900.
000.
The time for fling income returns
expired March /. but the totals have
not vet been tabulated and will not
be available until all returns, includ.
ing many extensions of from 80 to
60 days, especially in the case of non.
resident aliens, nave been made.
The estimate Of 100000 600 is bias.
ed upon a study of such returns as
have already come in and general
conditions OF prosperity. Most of the
increase is due to the higher rate of
last September.
Included in this total are collections
actually made up to the present ag-
gregating about $25,00oOO0 This is
$7O00,000 more than was collected
this time last year.
The governments tax on munitions
win net approximately 10000. 900. it
is thought in addition, while for the
few months Of the fiscal year during
which the former Emergency Tax law
was in effect the returns will approx
innate S25.OoO,O0O ON miscellaneous
items affected by this tax.
From the ordinary sources of inter.
nal revenue ~ whiskey, beer. tobacco
and oleomargarine- is estimated
The tax this year will approximate
$350000,0O the greatest total in the
history Of the department. The SUI
preme courts recent decision sustain
ing the Webb-Kenyon law will cause
a diminution, it is assumed, in the
returns from whiskey and beer. al
though thus far the tax collected is
considerably higher than last year
total of 1907 100000 has been col
leeted from internal revenue taxes
Of all sorts from the, beginning OF the
fiscal year to the present time. This
is approximately s25.000,0OO more
than last year.

Jury PRAYED IN
REACHING VERDICT
Judge Alex Dulin Says He Never Ex-
perienced Anything so Serious
in His Life.

Judge Alex Dulin of Sutton VINO
recently tried Andrew Sampson end
his son, Howard, at Clay Court House,
for the murder of Preston Tanner,
says he was greatly affected by the
manner in which the jury reached a
verdict.
While the case was more or TESS
exciting and had its tense moments
Judge Dulin said at no time was
there any threat of mob violence as
was published in several state
papers. The defendants took evidence
for two days for a change of venue
but it was not sufficient to cause
the Judge to grant it. There was
no feeling Of bitterness against the
Simpsons. and after the trial both
sides were satisfied that the judge
and jury had given the case a fail
trial
Judge Dulin, who has had years
of experience in the court room
stated that in all Of his experience he
had never had jury that had taker
murder trial so seriously. Prayers
were said each night asking Divine
Providence to guide them in theil
decision OF the case.
