JACKSON & SHARP
CAR WORKS OBTAIN
BIG FOREIGN ORDER
viii Soon Operate to Capacity
on Cars for China and
Colombia.
BUSINESS SHOWS REVIVAL

The Jackson & Sharp plant of the
American Car & Foundry Co, which
has been running under reduced force
for sometime, will, in the near future,
be operating to capacity in tho car
department. Charles s. Gawthrop,
who was for a number OF years In
charge Of the plant and who Is now
vice-president OF the company In New
York. In charge of export business.
was in Wilmington today and an
nounced that some large orders had
been entered up for the Chinese gov
ernmcnt railways. The company viii
supply flve trains-de-luxe for service
between Tientsin and Pukow. Each
train win consist OF first-class. sec
ond-class and third-class sleeping
car. dining car, a parlor car. and a
baggage car and postal car, and
the whole OF these viii be of quite
modern steel design and with
thoroughly up-to-date interior ar
rangement. with electric lights, steam
heat, hot and cold water supply, etc.
The contract covers for the whole Of
the loose equipment, which will be
quite modern In character. 1t is ex.
pected delivery of this contract will
be made during the first half OF next
year.
In addition TO this. the company is
building at its plant In this city, about
80 narrow guage cars for the CSlom-
bian government railways. Alfred II.
Gawthrop. who IS now district man
agor OF the plant. is expected back
from Chill during next week, and he
has obtained for the company a con-
tract for freight and passenger cars,
the latter item OF which win be built
al the plant In this city. These, like
AA' AAAr Aoh NAAttAs Will DC OF steer
construction.
The prospect for further business
of similar character is somewhat
closely related 10 the action OF Con-
gress on the income tax BILL" said q
representative OF the company today.
In the event that the total income
tax does not exceed too high figure
say approximately IS per cent--it Is
confidently expected that large in
vestments viii be made in foreign
bonds. But IL Congress should make
the total income tax on large incomes
at a higher figure-say so per cent TO
50 per cent--it is feared that the large
investments viii be made. not in Sc
curities that VIII directly benefit
foreign trade. but instead, in tax-free
securities. AS investments OF United
states capital in foreign bonds will
benefit both manufacturers and the
agricultural group, 50 called, IL Is
reasonably expected that some salts
factory solution VIII be arrived at by
Congress. And the impression seems
60 De growing that the higher rate
of tax Is not productive Of income 10
any considerable extent"

EDWIN II. WOLFE.

The drastic measures adopted by
Federal prohibition agents operating
in this city through tho Offices Of
Robert b. Elliott, director Of prohi-
bition for the State. to uphold the
Eighteenth Amendment. were fully
demonstrated this morning when ten
a. violators. including one woman,

rants for the arrest of the seven peo-
pie involved were issued by Commits
sioner Cam on evidence secured by

work that even the casual passerby
was ignorant OF what was takinp
place. Each Of the seven people were
apprehender at their respective homes
and no resistance was experienced.
With the arrest OF Cohen, who con-
ducts a small shoe repairing establish
ment at the Front street address, the
authorities believe they have made an
important move. Several buys" were

ing the past month. four on October IS
II Is reported that both Rollo and
his wife have been engaged In the
unlawfu1 trade. His place at 2l1 East

before the United States marshal
asking permission TO see his father
AT the time he was ignorant that his
/ mother had also been arrested.
As explained by Director Elliott to-
+ day. the arrests this morning are onls

Inmates of Losses by Daring

!. By Associateh pre

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening
New York, Oct. 26.--Belief that the
loot in Monday nights daring mail
truck foldup wouldt exceed $1,000, 600,
WAS indicated by post Office authorities
today, following a partial check Of the
contents OF the five stolen pouches,
while from other sources it was
learned that the. total might exceed
81, 600 900.
Officials OF one Wall street firm.
not yet listed as among those affected
by the robbery. said that firm had
sent 81 100000 in securities by reg
istered mail on Monday night. but that
they had been unable to learn yet
whether Il was in one OF the five
pouches taken by the three bandits
who held up the trucks in lower
Broadway.
Known loses made public so far
included s463,000 in bonds. mailed to
clients by the Chase National Bank.
$4,000 in securities sent out by Hit.
Farwen and Parks. s3.400 in bonds
ma ! by Remicx, Hodges and Com
pany and $4,000 in securities sent out
by Galloway, Fish and Company. All
these losses We're said 70 be covered
by private insurance.
It was reported that a $4,000 con-
signment OF currency was included in
the stolen mail. but this was not con-
tlrmed by the postoffiee authorities. 1t
was said a fun list Of losses probably
could not be complied for several
days.
a reward of $4,000 was offered by
Postmaster. General Hays yesterday
ito any postal employee or other per-
son who brings in. alive or dead, any
one" Of the robbers. This Is in ac-
cordance with his policy made known
on April last, when he said that as
the robbers were adopting the Wild
West tactics the postal man would DO
the same and would shoot to kilI' il
waylaid.
