Mistook Monster Snake
for an Automobile Tire

Paris, Ky.-When Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Ross were returning
from an automobile trip, they
saw what resembled a black and
white automobile tire lying in the
road. Mr.. Ross got out to pick
up the tire" when it moved, and
glided away into the bushes. The
'tire' was a boa constructor, the
property Of a carnival company
that met disaster in a cloudburst
near here. Employees of the car
nival company later captured the
snake.

BODY COMES HOME
REMAINS OF THOS. J. MOONEY
ALGIERS BOY, WHO DIED IN
AUGUST, 1918, TO BE RE-
TURNED HOME.

The remains of Ensign Thos. J
Mooney. who on the 14th day of Au.
gust, 1918. gave his life to the service
of HIS country while on duty abroad,
were due to arrive in Brooklyn, y. Y,
yesterday, October 9th. From there,
at the request of his mother. the re-
mains will be sent here for interment,
due notice of which will be given. He
will be buried with full military hon
ors due a naval officer.
Ensign Mooney, who was native of
Algiers. was the only son of the late
Judge Thos. ]. Mooney and Arabella
Covell. To young Moneys credit,
though he was exempt from military
service due to the fact that he was in
the engineers department on ships
crossing over to the war zone, his love
for his country prompted him to enlist
in the navy as a warrant machinist.
Within a few weeks his efficient work
won him the promotion to ensign and
he was assigned to Z. S. S. Bali. on
which ship he was stricken.
All honor to the memory of the little
ensign from AlgierS

TO SAVE ALGIERS POINT.
Orleans Lcyec Board Will Construct
Double Bulkhead at Morgan
Street

The executive committee of the Or.
leans Levee Board held a special SEES
sion Tuesday afternoon for the pur-
pose of drawing plans and specifica-
tons and publishing proposals for bids
to construct a double bulkhead at the
head of Morgan street. where the re-
cent cave took place about a month
ago. As this is an emergency, the
board has authority to act at once in
this matter.
At the meeting the Southern I'm
prOvement and Ferry Company was
represented by Mr.. Verlander, and the
West New Orleans Railway and Light
Company was represented by Mr.. +.
w Burgis.
II was estimated by the engineers
that the first bulkhead. which will
consist of piling, to be constructed as
near as possible to the present street
car tracks, will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000; the Ferry Company
and the Street Railway Company each
have agreed to pay one-fourth of this
dHOulll, the balance 10 De DOrne DS the
Orleans Levee Board. Proposals for
bids will be advertised for ten days.
1t will require about sixty days to fin
ish the work
Other plans of the Orleans Levee
Board which are being prepared by
the engineers will call for a double
bulkhead at this point. This is being
done in an attempt to save this prop
erty.
The government engineers have also
agreed to sink a mat at this point and
arrangements have already been en-
tered into with the Levee Board to
have the successful bidders for this
emergency leave the piling sufficiently
high so as to aid the government in
placing the mats.
The Board has the right, however,
to reject all bids and re-advertise
should the estimate be higher than
the opinion of the engineers and Board
warrant.

NEEDS OF D. c. SCHOOLS

Public schools Of the District Of Co

shortage Of teachers, the personnel of
the office force is inadequate and the
schools are not on a business basis,
Superintendent of Schools Ernest L.

Citizens Association in an address at
a meeting last night at ST. Albans
parish hall.
Mr.. Thurston said the District
schools. in common with those of the

the present shortage OF trained teach
ers. and that teachers on account OF
the greater burden put upon them are
unable to handle the large classes. h"
said that the standard of the teach
ing profession has been lowered by
the low salaries offered to American
men and women to answer the call to
public duty.

prosecuting profiteering or combina-
tions in restraint of trade. Prosecu-
tions for improper returns on income
taxes are not always left to the United
States attorneys. because the latter
haven't the time to familiarize them
selves with the intricacies of such
cases. Thousands of men are espe.

Penalty for Failure.
For failure to make a return on
time there is a penalty Of 1000 plus
25 per cent Of the tax due. For falling
to pay tax when due or understate-
ment through negligence, there's
penalty Of per cent and interest. For
making a fraudulent return. the pen
alty is $4,000 and a years imprison-
ment. plus so per cent added to the
taxes evaded. And besides, individuals
are at the same time liable to prose-
cution under other statutes for per
Jury. conspiracy and other things that
could keep a man In Jail for years.
Tentative returns can always be
made and amended returns filed later.

SHIP FUEL OIL OFFERS
ARE NOT FORTHCOMING
Restoration Of Fuel Federal Con-
troll Under War Powers
Is Hinted.

Failure of the United States Ship
ping Board to secure bids for even
a portion of the oil fuel needed for
its ships during the year beginning
April /. suggested last night that
President Wilson might be urged to
again invoke war powers to meet the
situation. 1t was said restoration of
full federal control over the oil In
dustry might be necessary.
Shipping Board officials said the
situation was very serious Chair
man Payne is expected to make
special report of the situation to
President Wilson. On proposals for
"a, 900. 900 barrels the board had yes
terday received bids on 100000 bar
rels at prices ranging from rs to 80
per cent higher than last year. Ex-
listing contracts ~will expire within
the next three weeks. and at no point
has the board a reserve supply for
more than a few days of ship opera
ton.
Failure to submit full offers was
blamed on market conditions" by
oil producers. Several companies de-
clared their production for the year
was already contracted for. in one
case with shipping firms operating
federal-owned ships. 1t was said by
oil men at the Shipping Board that
the situation could be definitely
traced to unsettled conditions in the
Tampico oil fields. the principal
source of supply. The companies
have been forced to exercise extreme
caution in contracting for future de-
livery by recent Mexican govern
ment DEGREES.
Yesterdays developments at the
Shipping Board added to the anxiety
felt at the NNavy Department. which
will seek bids on fuel oil for fight
ing ships. Secretary Daniels said he
would again call together War. Com
merce and Interior departments and
Shipping Board officials to discuss
ways and means of alfeviating the
