Charged With Conspiracy to Defraud by Withholding
 Big Income Taxes.

Boston, July 9-William A. Eng fish and John H. O'Brien, members of the firm of English & O'Brien, Boston woll merchants. were arrested today on a federal indictment charg- ing conspiracy to defraud the gov ernment of income taxes. The in- dictment alleged that the shortage through improper accounting amount ed to $250,000. Both pleaded not guilty and were held in bonds of $25.- 900 each.
 Federal officials said it was the first case of the kind to be brought to the attention of the grand jury.
 With the arrest of English and O'Brien it became known that the government instituted yesterday a civil suit against them for the recov- cry of s2,0o0, 900 damages to cover the | amounts alleged to have been held back on income tax payments. Ex- animation of the firms records show | ed, federal authorities said, that two sets of books had been kept, one for examination by internal revenue ex-
 perts and the other for the private | information of the defendants.
 The specific amount of the alleged | shortage, as set forth in the indict- | ment, was s250,0o0. It was charged, however, that more careful exam

NEW YORK PAPER CERMAN-OWNED OFFICIALS STATE Dr. Rumely, Evening Mail Vice President Held on
 Perjury Charge. BAIL AT HEARING
 FIXED AT $35, 900 First Intimation Game Through Inspection of Hun Fiscal Agents Books.

New York, July 9-Assertions that pr. Edward A. Rumely, publisher of the Evening Mail. placed all his re- cords at the disposal of the depart ment of justice during personal visits to Washington led to bail being fixed at $35,000 instead of $50,000 as orig ally asked by federal counsel, when pr. Rumely was arraigned today be- fore United States Commissioner Hitchcock on a charge of perjury.
 Hearing in the case, involving ale cations by the government that the Mail is owned by the German imperial government. was deferred for two weeks.
 Through the checking of financial transactions, international in scope, by which, it is alleged, the New York Evening Mail became the property of
 the imperial German government. state and federal authorities caused
 the arrest late yesterday of Dr. Ed
 ward A. Rumely.
 Instead of being American-owned, as pr. Rumely, who is vice president, secretary and publisher of the Even-
 ing Mail, is alleged to have stated to
 A. Mitchell Palmer. alien property custodian, the Evening Mail, in fact, 1 according to Merto E. Lewis, state attorney general, and Harold Harper, | assistant United States district attor- ney is owned by the imperial Ger
 man government.
 The first suspicion that German
 money paid for the Mail, it is said, came through an examination by fed eraI authorities of the books of Hugo | Schmidt, the German fiscal agent in | this country.
 The money amounting to $1,361,- | 900, used in this transaction, which | Attorney General Lewis has said has been carefully traced and checked up was obtained in this country through i the sale of German war loans. The documents in this case" MT
 Lewis said, indicate that Rumely purchased the stock of the Mail &
 Express Co. from Henry L. stoddard in June, 1915, the money paid tc l Rumely being drawn from deposits of the German government in Various | banks in the city of New York, these accounts standing in the name o1 Bernstorff, the former ambassador oI | Germany in Washington, and of Dr
 Heinrich Albert, who was known, | believe, as the commercial attacht 1 of the embassy. The money was | drawn from the joint accounts oi 1 Bernstorff and Albert.
 l ''The transfers of the money were
 concealed in the following manner
 Dr. Albert procured various banks
 where the German government had
 accounts in his own and Bernstorffi
 names, to issue cashier checks to the
 order of one Walter Lyon, member
 of the former Wall Street firm O
 Rensworf, Lyon & Co. This firm il 1 turn paid the money back to Lyon who then transferred it to Rumely We have the checks which figured ! in these various transfers"

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

In the 35th week of the Storrs egg laying contest the Oregons from the Agricultural College at Corvallis, Ore, won the honors for the week with remarkable yield of 63 eggs Tom Baron's White Leghorns rom Catforth, England, were secoud with 5S eggs and E. A. Ballard's pen of Leghorns from Chestnut Hill, Pa., were third with 56 eggs. Fourth place was captured by J. o. LeFevre's pen of Leghorns from New Paltz, N. Y.
 Not only did the Oregons take the high honors for the weekly produc tion but they have also jumped into first place, thus taking the lead from Knights pen of Wyandottes which they have held for 23 weeks. Their lead, however, is only one egg which cannot be considered very serious at the present time as there ares till IT more weeks to go. The total pro- duction for the week was 3864 eggs which is 130 less than for the pre- vious week and 59 less than for the corresponding week last year.
 Perhaps it is obvious that from now on a gradual falling off in produc- I1Ol may U0 GAp6CLtu. 1nlS p6IHd pS simply means that the poor produc- CTS in the f1ocks anticipate having a new coat of feathers. In order to keep the egg production up to it's maximum yield, one should dispose of all the birds that are loaing on the l job. These loafers can be told some l what by the extera1 characteristics such as molting, color of beak, legs and vent.
 Egg production may also be retard- ed by the hens being bothered with mites, for them ite season is now at | its height. The experienced poultry man can easily detect these pests if | present in large numbers. He will be aware of the fact by very pe- culiar odor. The best plan of pro- cedure at this season of the year is to carefully inspect all cracks in the roosts and also their supports and l when any mites at all are found, get after them with crude carbolic and kerosene or perhaps better still with o~--ho lin elr7
