Ireland Wants To
Collect Late Taxes

Dublin, Nov. 25.-The Irish incom.
tax is raising several interesting
problems. During the fight with the
English, the order went forth that m
Irishman should pay income tax IN
the British. 1t was difficult to collec,
il therefore, and large arrears re-.
manned outstanding. When the
Treaty was made, the British as.
signed to the Irish government all
the Irish arrears of income tax as an
asset. Unless these arrears are paid
the deficit of the Irish government
will be considerably increased.
But there is now great hesitation
about paying. People say it is hard
enough to pay one years income tax
without adding arrears which they
were invited not to pay, and have
since spent. The suggestion has been
made by a responsible financier that
the pre-Truce income tax should be
wiped out. But the Irish govern.
ment's agreement with the British
assumed certain burdens for which
these arrears were a sct-off, and j,
the dlIedIS are HOl paul dtdlIUnal
taxation will have to be imposed to
meet these burdens Appeals are
made on the ground OF patriotism and
duty to the new government, but /;
seems evident that q large part Of
the arrears are now uncollectible.
The future of the Irish income tax
is also attracting attention. There is
considerable class of well-to-do
people who, although domciled in
Ireland, have property in England,
and there are many resident in Eng
land who have property in the Free
State. Hitherto all these people have
paid income tax in one lump 10 thu
British government, but now 1t is
feared that they may have 10 sub
NIT TO double income tax. 1t is
grievance familiar in the DomnionS,
and an agitation is on foot t relieve
these taxpayers from n repetition u
that grievance in Ireland.

sentenced to three months in the
county Jail at Alfred, when arraigned

the police that he wanted to get in
somewhere for the winter.
Another old glove fighter was with
him, Kid Mcdonald, and both said
they were looking for time" Both
were given something warm to eat
and Saturday morning Mcdonald all
most sold as the Marine" recon-
sidercd his desire for time" and
shaking hands with Leblanche, left
the police station and continued his
tramping towards Sanford.
Leblanche, who has met and fought
some of the best Of them, was best
known for his defeat of the old Jack
Dempsey, "The Nonpareil" That was
back in the SOS. Dempsey had pre-
viously licked him, knocking out the
most Of his teeth. That was when
they fought with skin-tight gloves.
In their second fight in Brooklyn. Le-
blanche got in what was known as
the pivot" blow and The Nonpareil"
went down for the cohnt. After that
fight, which was the Marines" last,
the pivot" blow was barred and has
never since been used in the ring.

topaz weighing five pounds, remark
able not only for it's size but for its
clearness, is among the specimens
Oliver c. harrington, curator of the
department Of geology of Field Mu-
scum. who has just returned from an
expedition to Brazil.
The expedition Travelled 1000 miles
through the diamond. gold and pre-
cious stone fields of the South
American republic, covering more
than 800 miles through the noun
tains of the state of Minas Gerais
on mule back.
The specimens obtained include
gold, diamonds. aQuamarines, berylS,
cmeraids and topaZes, besides a num-
Der of minerals of the rare earthS.
Among the specimens DR.. Harrington
believes he has one or two minerals
hitherto unknown to science
The big five pound topaz is one of
a large number of enormous semi
precious stones obtained by the
scientists, but in point of size is an
infant compared to a twenty-siX
pound topaz which they saw at one
of the mines. The giant stone was
valued at about SIS a pound. Cut
up and polished a first grade topaz
is worth from IS to $40 a carat
Diamond mines were visited IN the
region of Diamantine, 500 miles north
OF Rio, in the center of a vast dia-
mond bearing area. The stones can
be successfully mined only in the
neighborhood Of water for washing
the coarse earth away. The diamonds
are found in beds totally different
from those in South Africa, the ma
t1iX being a quartzite composed of
sands washed from older lands
The semi-precious stones in the
state of N1inas Gerais are found in
course GRANTEES or pegmattes SO de-
composed that the gems can be
mined with a shovel.
The expedition visited the Moro
Velho gold mine, which is the deep
est mining shaft on earth. Its lowest
level is 1000 feet below the surface.
At this great depth the temperature
OF the rock is III degrees Fahren-
heit, making it necessary to main
tain an elaborate refrigeration plant
Oil the surface to force cold air down
to the miners. The deeper the shaft
goes, however, the richer the ore
found so the additional cost of min
ing is more than Offset by the re-
turns.
Iron ore of the finest quality for
steel manufacture is so common in
this district, according to DR.. Far
rington, that his party rode for day
after day over mountains, valleys and
