German Republic Again
Threatened BY. Collapse

A formal note dispatched by
France is understood to have de-
manded early payment for private
property damage.
Many Germans, with large sup
plies of cheap marks on hand, were
unable to spend them today. Shop
keepers in many cases refused to
unload their stocks for marks, de-
mandlng foreign money or gold in
payment.
The rush of buyers to stores was
caused by the realization of the in
evitable rise in prices with the de-
cline OF the mark.
The collapse of the mark has
caused the Hungarian crown to
sink lower.
The crown today was quoted at
1000 to the dollar. Bread in Buda-
pest was sold at $50 crowns a loaf,
normally SIPS.
Austrian paper money is practi-
cally -valueless.

MORE THAN MILLION
In TAX FOR CITY

This is the last day for obtaining
rebate on city taxes. A large crowd
of terdy taxpayers assembled this
morning in the corridor leading to
the tax office in the Public Build
Ing.
Owing TO the rush today, It was
impossible to make any estimates of
the amount of money received.
The amount paid in to Elmer p.
Klund. collector for the Northern
District. at the close OF business.
Saturday. was about s75e,O0O, as
compared with a total of s75O.O0O
for the corresponding period last
year.
John I. Dolan, collector for the
Southern District, has received for
the same period. S2S2,13S. For the
corresponding period of last year, he
had received $4,000. This de-
crease will be more than made up by
the deferred payments on Union
Park Gardens taxes as more than
half of these remain unpaid, and
unless paid today, will lose the dis
count.

WOULD STOP SALE
OF LAND FOR TAXES

The question as to whether the
Federal Court could issue a restrain
ing order preventing the sale of
property for the collection Of county
taxes was raised in the United States
District Court to, ay. when Harold
VI. Lutz, of Philadelphia, asked for
such an order against the sheriff OF
Kent County. Mr.. Lutz Informed
Judge Morris that the sheriff of Kent
County had seized a wheat crop
owned by the estate of Allen, Cum
ningham, voluntary bankrupt in
the Court OF the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania. The seizure OF
the wheat It was said was for the
1921 taxes owed the county.
Judge Morris held that II was a
rule that such a restraining order
could not be issued to prevent the
sale Of property for the payment of
Federal taxes and he set Tuesday.
September as the date when argu-
ment will be heard on the motion
for the order.
