collected from this source in any cor
responding six months period. It was
an increase of $780,, 7,321.03 over the
taxes received from the same source
during the corresponding period last
year. Inasmuch as this tax Is deter
mined by the amount Of capital en-
ployed and the dividend rate thereon;
the state is a direct beneficiary when
business conditions are good.
Akin to the above tax is that derived
from the organization of corporations:
Every stock corporation incorporated
under any law of this state must pay
Il tax of one-twentieth of 1 per cent
upon the amount of capital stock which
the corporation is assigned to have,
and a like tax upon any subsequent in
crease. In no case shall such tax be
less than s5. Under this provision
there was received during the last six
months s513, ,248.46, as compared with

The cargo consisted of $50, 900 pounds

acid and quantity of gun cotton and
benzol. Mr.. Cope said he never had
heard of any disaster where so much
explosive was set off The next largest
disaster of the kind that he recalled
was the destruction of the steamer
Alumchine, which carried 100000
pounds Of dynamite. The explosion at
Black Tom Island. New York. where

Outbreaks of Flames
Follow Warning of
Conspiracy
Guards Trebled
AT Danger oints
I,ossReaches Millions of
Dollars; Fire Destroys
Government Pier
Ry Tho Associated Press

Indications of a widespread plot to
cripple the war activities of the United
States were seen yesterday in a series
Of fires in shipyards. on munition ships.
j, war plants and storage buildings at
various points along the Atlantic sea-
bosrd and further inland. Nearly all
os them were of distinctly suspicious
origin.
Fears that the flames may have been
set by enemy aliens received strength
from the fact that they started within
few hours at widely separated points
almost week to a day after Edward n.
Hurley, chairman of the United States
Shipping Board, gave warning that the
government had received authoritative
EARNING of a German plot to apply the
torch to plants of all kinds, especially
shipyards, which are producing imple-
ments Of war.
Mr.. Hurley ordered the trcblins of
soldier guards and police at all war
plants, and in some cases this precau-
ton resulted in preventing even more
serious losses.
Guards Arc Increased

Yesterday that this warning was issued

properly investigated, but government

Guards were again strengthened to
make even more difficult the depreda-
tiOrs of German agents
Disastrous fires started only a few
hours apart in ship yards at Newark,
n. j., and Baltimore. The losses will
aggregate s. 900 900.
Fires were discovered on loaded
munitions ships at two Atlantic ports,
one in the morning and the other in
the afternoon, but they were extin-
guished before serious damage had
been done.
Eight Men Killed at Newport
Eight men were killed and many in
jured by an explosion in a powder
magazine in the United States navy
torpedo station, at Newport 1t was
said, however. that there was nothing
to Indicate this accident was the work
of enemy agents.
There were other fires Of suspicious
nature in New York, Paterson, n. j.,
Buffalo, Maynard, Mass, and Peter
borough, Canada. In every case rigid
investigation will be made either by
military or municipal authorities in an
effort to fix the responsibility.

Hurley Asked to Explain
Ferris's Ship Contracts

- WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Senate
Commerce Committee has called on
Chairman Hurley Of the Shipping Board
TOR detailed statement of the associa-
ton with the Emergency Fleet Corpora
l'on Of Theodore +. Ferris, chief ship
designer, who resigned yesterday.
The statement was called for, Chair
man Fletcher said, to disclose whether
any Sh'pbuildlng concerns having con-
'racts with the government were clients
of Ferris while he was with the fleet
corporation. Among other things the
committee wants to know is whether a
! per cent fee paid to Mr. Ferris by the
Clinchfield Navigation Company was on
ships designed by him before he en-
tered the employ Of the government at
salary of $4,000 a wear.
