Blewitt Is Blamed
For New MOtOr,nan
In b. II. 7. Wreck

STAFF Correspondence
MlNEOLA, Long Island, March 12.-
csponsibiity was placed to-day upon
Division Superintendent Thomas f.
Blcwitt for the fact that an uncertihed
motorman guided the B. r. 7. train
which, with loss of ninety-two lives.
was wrecked in the Malbone Street tun-
mel last November.
Benjamin n. Brody, B. r. 7. train
master, taking the stand in the Blewtt
manslaughter trial here, gave the tes-
tmony
On cross examination later Brody de-
clarcd he had cautioned Eduard Lu
ciano, the motorman, to go slowly on
the stretch where the accident befell.
A division uperintendent, the defence
maintained, could not be held response
Bile for the conduct Of man who de-
liberately disregarded instructions.
Again Hint at Hostile Plot
The hint that hostile plot was the
real cause of the wreck was revived by
the defence.
"Why was it," Judge Isaac Oeland,
COunSel Tor bleWlLt, asked, InhC YOU
felt it necessary particularly to eau
tion Luciano to go slow along this
stretch ?"
Brody replied that motormcn who
had gone on strike that day had
threatened violence in case trains were
operated. If covert attempts were
made to carry out the threat, he said,
he felt that either the yards or the
stretches where reconstruction work
was in progress were the most prob
able places for their occurrence. Re
construction work was under way near
the Malbone Street tunnel, he pointed
out.
Blewett Arranged Transfer

job of crew dispatcher to a motor

witness testified, been arranged with

Nobody Who Wants to Pay

of Rush, Says Collector
Caruso's Check Whopper
Lower New York Is Ex-
pected to Turn in Billion
Dollars, Edwards Declares

Reports poured into Washington
Yesterday from all parts of the coun-
try that hundreds of income tax col
lectors were literally swamped by tax
PAYERS seeking information. This
nrompted the Internal Revenue Bu-
pare returns according to their best
ability and file supplemental returns
later if they find their first reports
were not exact On the basis of these
amended returns, it was pointed out,
refunds could bo claimed if too much
was paid.
But no such state of affairs as that
reported from Washington exists in
the downtown New York district, the
biggest in the country, according to
Collector William II. Edwards. The
collector admitted yesterday as he
mopped his brow that business is toler-
ably brisk this week, in proof of which
he fingered little slip of paper which
showed that together with Enrico
Csruso's check he had collected for the
day about S7o0o,oo0.
The great tenor arrived at the Gus
tom House about 2 o'clock and was
ushered into the private offices of Col
ector Edwards, where he remained

His Check "a Whoppcr'
On the word of Collector Edwards
the tenor's check was "a whopper."
A report was circulated yesterday
that the government had fallen down
on its printing contracts and was out
of blanks. Enterprising stationery
dealers in the Wall Street section were
said to be reaping a harvest by selling
blanks Of their own printing to excited
customers.
I'VE have all the blanks we need"
said Collector Edwards. early this
week we ran d little short, principally
because We were called upon to fur
nish them to people living in the other
two districts of the city. Blanks and
information are to be had in room

AS most large taxpayers will take
advantage of the law which provides

MIGRATORY BIRD LAW NOT HELD INVALID SAYS FEDERAL CHIEF

The. spondent at Washington who sent out the report of the opinion of the United States supreme court in the Shaver case and said that it held the migratory bird law to be in valid did not quite grasp the meaning of the opinion, according to Edward W. Nelson, chief of the biological sur vey. In reply to an inquiry, Game Warden Joe V. Prochaska has re- ceived the following message:
 Washington, D. C. Joe Y. Prochaska, State Game War den, Phoenix, Arizona.
 Supreme court did not declare for mer federal game law invalid. Appeal in Shaver case involving constitu- tionality of migratory bird law of 1913 was dismissed January on the motion of the government because that law was repealed by the enactment of the migratory bird treaty act. and it's con- stitutionality thus became an aca- demic question. The court did not take The dismissal of the Shauver case has no bearing on the validity of either past or present federal game laws. The treaty act should be rigidly enforced.

 It was matter of indifference. how ever, to Arizona sportsmen whether the migratory bird law was repealed or not. The open season for migratory birds, under this law. is coterminous with the season under the Arizona game laws, ending on February l. The sportsmen feel that the date has not been wisely selected.

DISCOVERS DEFECT
 IN b|C SET SCALES

Robert Merritt, state inspector Of weights and measures, returned yes terday from Globe. In the course. of his visit there he attended to the rec tification of a set of heavy scales that were considerably out of true. They were used mostly for weighing cattle, of which the owner was the purchaser.
 The scales themselves were found to be all right, but it was discovered that an adjacent building leaned in 9 way against the machinery of the scales so that they did not act quick ly. In fact, they did not act at all until weight of considerably more than 25 pounds had been put upon them.
 It was estimated that if one was selling d bunch of cattle weighing la the aggregate of 10000 pounds h. would lose about 50 pounds, something of loss at the prevailing price of cattle Though patrons of the is ales suspected that something was wrcng with them, the extent and nature of the defect could not be definitely dis closed1under very heavy weights.
