Collector Edwards's Office
Resembles Subway Plat
form at Rush Time; Re-
turns Exceed Last Years

The sixth floor Of the Custom House,
st the foot of Broadway, buzzed with
conversation yesterday. Conferences
were going on in every room. The cor
ridors resembled a subway platform
during the rush hour. Men and women
pushed and elbowed their way through
crowded doorways, asking where to
find this and where to find that Mes
senger boys lodged through the crowd,
telephone operators worked at top
speed and clerks scampered from one
room to another.
But the busiest person on the sixth
floor was William H. Edwards. COL
lector of Internal Revenue for Man
haitian, or, in other words, the man to
whom you make-or have made-your
income tax returns.
New Workers poured into the Offices
Of the internal revenue collector in a
steady stream yesterday. Three tele-
phones in the private Office of Mr.. Ed
wards were often jingling at the same
tune. There also were a number Of
personal callers for him to attend to,
these callers including Tom Wise, the
rotund comedian; Al Jolson and other
stage celebrities. 1t seemed that
everybody in the district was trying TO
attend 20 his income tax yesterday.
Mr.. Edwards said last night that he
is not yet in a position to estimate the
total revenue from income tax pay
mcnts, as many persons will not make
their returns until Monday. He is GER
tam, however, that the returns filed
this year will exceed by many thou
sands those Of last year.

Collector Edwards at his hotel last
night. 81 could not hope to do it
without the cooperation of my loyal
office force. | place the responsibility
and IN that manner get results.
1.-TWO hundred clerks will be working
all day to-day at the Custom House.
They will take care of the accumula-
ton Of mail which is arriving in great
quantities. We are ready for the last
minute rush. All returns received in
the mall Tuesday morning bearing
postmark not later than midnight
March IS will be accepted. I wish to
make this brief statement to the tax
payers:
'As long as your spirit toward the
government is O.. X. I'll forgive an
honest error | will not be harsh with
any taxpayer who means to do right.
We have approximately $50 100000
worth OF stamps at the Custom House
and in the branch Offices" said Col
lector Edwards. They include docu-
mentary, stock transfer, future deliv-
cry contract, proprietary, cigars, Gig
arettes, non n-beverage, wines, narcotics,
opium, oleomargarine, adulterated but
ter, process butter, playing cards, spe-

not reached soon the ports of Philadel-
phia, Charleston, Tampa, New Orleans,
Galveston, Baltimore, Norfolk, Boston
and Portland would be tied up, throw
ing about $4,000 more men out of work.
"Mr. Richardson" said Mr.. Ryan, "is
inconsistent. He maintained two years
ago that the coastwise men should re-
ceive more money. Now he says that
they are receiving fair and just wage.
Two years ago he said that If they gave
the men q nine-hour day they would
have to so out of business. Tho men
got the eight-hour day and the ship
owners are still making money. We
nre going through with the fight to the
bitter end"

tion.

FAT GIRLS WERE PADDED
And the Padding Was Lined With
Canadian Liquor.

Burlington, July 15.-Because
Misses Aline Remillard, Eva r. Boyer
and Margot Desperes of Montreal had
portly bodies surmounted by thin
faces they will appear at the next
session of United States court, to be
held August /, to be tried on the
charge of violating the Volstead act.
The frs. two girls were taken into
custody at Newport and the third at
Richford. When arrested the Remil-
lard and Boyer girls were entering the
United States with tickets for Man
chester, N. H., where they said they
we're going to visit relatives for two
weeks.
The immigrant inspectors looked
them over casually at first, but later
with added interest, for both we're
very plump from the neck down.
When placed in the hands of the ma
tron each of the girls disgorged two
cans of a gallon each of high wines,
which they carried in a special con
Istructed skirt. About the waist they
also wore a garment which carried
eight pint bottles full of the same
liquid the garments having many
pockets,
The girls said later they were to
deliver the liquor to a man who was
to meet them at the railroad station
at Manchester, N. H., and pay them
for the goods. They had been told
- -,
ing caught and they were to be paid
lliberally,
The case Of the Desperes girl was
somewhat similar, she had two gal
Ion cans Of high wines and two pints
more concealed under her skirts. AL
three girls are now out on bail Il
is the opinion of custom men tha
much liquor is being brought into this
country at the present by women.
