Little Satisfaction for Robert.

Little Satisfaction for Robert.
Robert Doweu owned an over
grown penknife, sometimes termed
a frogs ticker. It resembled a small
bayonet rather than a penknife.
He pawned the blade with James
Collins for thirty cents. James
turned it over to his father for
safekeeping.
a short time later Robert asked
Collins to bring the knife to him,
as he wanted to redeem it. Collins
referred him to his father.
Instead of going to Collins
father for the knife. Robert waited
a while and then suddenly snatched
3 scarf pin, set with a $3.50 gold
piece, from Collins tie and then
gave the pin to a boy named Ham
to keep for him.
Collins secured a warrant and
charged Robert with larceny. The
boy denied any thicving intent.
He was merely using the pin. he
said. to force Collins to bring back
the knife.
The court fined Robert SO, but
left the other phase Of the con-
troversy unsettled.
Fined Despite Excuse.

distraction. They dart in and out
like so many flies. and you never
can tell why or which about any Of
them.
Policeman GaUimore saw Fred
scoOting up Seventh street between
II and K streets, where the traffic
is thick, doing twenty-four miles
per hour. with his mUffler cut-out
raising a racket.
You must like to hear the music
OF the cut-Out. don't you?" the
court asked Fred.
"Oh, no." answered the man. Il
had load OF peanut butter on
and stepped on the cut-out to help
pull up that hill"
Fred further explained that his
speedometer was broken and he
had no way to tell when he was
speeding.
OF course that is nothing unusual.
We see thousands OF machines like
Fred's, and they seem to have ev-
erything on them busted-but they
keep moving just the same.
The court fined him SO and told
him he ought to have known bet

when another boarder passed his

A report on the printing industry,

Commissioner Tells Mcr-
chants Overxealousness or
inatsenlicsl to Orders May
Have Caused infractions

Overzealousness and lack of atten-
ton to official orders are responsible
for policemen holding up traffic while
they sell tickets for the Police De-
partment field days, Commissioner
Enright stated yesterday in letter
10 William Fellowes Morgan, presi-
dent of the Merchants Association.
Enright's letter was in reply to a
protest made by the Merchants Asso-
citation against the methods used by
policemen in the sale Of the tickets.
These methods, the association pointed
out caused many to purchase tickets
with the feeling of coercion and tho
them subject to petty police persecu-
ton" They asked that the practice Of
having policemen sell tickets for any
cause be prohibited.
Enright's reply, in part, follows:
Replying to your letter Of the 18th
instant, | have to inform you that
members of this department have been
directed to refrain from any unncces-
sary interference with traffic and from
any form Of annoyance or coercion in
connection with the sale Of tickets for
the police field days and I believe
they are generally observing these in
stluctions
"Of course. in such large organi-
zation there may be a few individuals
who, through ovcrzealousness or lack
Of attention to orders, may overstep
the bounds Of propriety, but whenever
complaint Of this nature is received
appropriate action will be taken.

night that there would be no repetition
Of last nights disorders. when at least
twenty-eight persons were wounded as
a crowd advanced upon the Jail with

Extraordinary precautions were taken
to preserve order tonight, as threats
Of the use of dynamite against the jail
and its defenders had been heard
throughout the day. No one was per
mitted to approach within block of
the jail, and the courthouse yard was
kept clear.
Six machine guns. manned by state
police, guarded all approaches; nfan-
trymen were held in reserve. and q
troop of cavalry galloped through the
streets at brief intervals. Thousands
surged through the streets tonight, and
a dozen arrests were made on charges
of disorderly conduct.

Magistrate Francis X McQuade, in
the West Side Court, yesterday held
Buell. Parmelle, of 100 West Eighty
fourth Street, for further examination
next Tuesday on a charge of assault
brought by George w. Wiese, of 256
West Eightyfrst Street. A charge of
assault preferred by Parmelle against
Wiese was dismissed.
Wiese told the court that for some
time he had been suspicious of Par
melle's actions with Mrs. Wiese. He
said that on Friday he found note in
her bag relating to an appointment
with Parmelle. Yesterday morning,
Niese said, he saw his wife and Par
mellc drive up in taxicab at Eighty
first Street and Broadway. He ad-
mitted that an alteration followed be-
tween himself and Parmelle.

ing the objections against vaccination

rived Friday on the steamship

is as follows:
at is we'll known fact that the
American government did several
months ago establish health Offices at
the different ports Of ombarkation in
Europe on account of the typhus scare.
American doctors are in charge and the
decision rests with them as to whether
or not an American or alien, no mat
ter in what class they travel, coming
to America from any infected coun-
try should be vaccinated. Neither the
French line or any other lines operat-
ing steamers between Europe and
America have any discretion in the
matter"
With respect to the charges of per-
sons that the yaccinating was done by
French doctors in unsanitary condi-
tions, the statement says they are
absolutely without foundation" Any
sensible person. it adda would readily
realize that the health officer ac-
credited to the American government
would not permit unsanitary condi-
tions to exist as far as vaccination is
concerned and remain in charge for
any length Of time.

866 Millions in 8 Years
Edwards's Report Shows I9I7's
Collections We're S98, ,482. .233
and I02O's So64.492 75Q

In a report prepared by William H.
Edwards on his fonr years as New
York's Collector of Internal Revenue,
he shows that his total receipts
amounted to $2,654, 4,l23,8 ,857.19, and that
in 1920 new recors. was set when
s964, ,492, 1898 WAS received at his
oif;ce.
The income tax represented large
part OF this record amount. There
were handled in Manhattan 6So,2SS re-
turns, divided as follows: Income tax,
50S,750; sales tax, 116,826; capital
stock. 29,o03; miscellaneous, 1850; es-
tate tax, ISL; tobacco tax, 343; spirits
tax 1856
An idea Of the growth Of collections
in Manhattan may be had from the
fact that in 1917, Mr.. Edwards's first
year in Office. the totai collections were
s9s, ,4S2, ,293.57: in 1913, $469, .61O.95;
in 1919, 1920, ,926.39; III 1920, 1884
92,75993.
In the first three months of this year
the collections in the Second District.
the Borough of Manhattan, tota,ed
$201 ,069, ,276.35. As this calculation
takes in March when the first install
ment of income tax was paid, it is in
dicated that the total collection for
1921 will fall below that of 1920.
