boro and were running without head
lights. the only light being that of a Ian
tern which was attached to the radiator.
This was entirely inadequate to afford
good view of the road and it was for
this reason that the machine was driven
off the bridge.
Persons who came along sent word to
the Wilmington undertaken. who came to
the SCENE Of the wreck and took the body
of Mr.. Stctson to Wilmington.

EXPECTS MILLION
OFF BIG FIGHT
Government TO Take Large Slice of
PrOhss IN Form of Taxes-.An-
nouncement by Revenue Agents.

WASHINGTON. June 29.-The Unit
ed StatcS government probably will col
leCt nearly 81 100000 in taxes as re
suit Of the Dempsey-Carpeutcr fight on
July >. according to an ESTIMATE which
was made here yesterday. An announce
meut was made by the internal rev
cuue bureau concerning its plans for
the collection of the taxes and the
statistic fans at once got to work, their
gucSscs of the governments share run
ming anywhere from STj0.O00 to ST.
100000.
To begin with. the government in its
announcement estimated that receipts
from the admission tax. if the sale Of
seats brought S1600,00O, would be
S160000.
On the 100000 which he is to re-
ceive Dempsey. without taking into con-
Sideration allowances for expenses. etc,
would pay a normal income tax of $26-
$50 and n SuTtaN of S13I,51O, or Il total
income tax of S163.990. Carpenter. on
the same basis. would pay to the govern
mcnt from his S2O0,00 end of the purse
n normal tax of S1J,S40 and surtax of
1910. or a total tax of S93330
These four items give total of more
than S5S1 900 payable to the government
i'm taxes. 1t is probable that the total
for these items will be somewhat lower.
because of the amounts allowable to
Dempsey and Carpenter for expenses,
which are dcductibe from taxable in
come before the tax is computed. but the
difference as a result of these deductions
is not expected to be very large.
1t iS interesting to note that these
computations reduce the profits of Demp-
Sey. after taxes are deducted. to S136.-
Ol0. while Carpenters end of the purse
will dwindle to S106.650 after the taxes
are deducted. The S500.OOO purse. there
fore. is actually a purse of S242,660, so
far as the fighters profits are concerned,
and the government will get more than
half of that original S50O,0O0.
