a decrease Of about so per cent
from last years total is indicated for
the 1922 income tax receipts, according
to statistics available at O'Clock last
night, when the internal revenue Office
for the I'd District (Manhattan) closed
missed the emergency staff that has
opened hundreds of thousands of let
ters in the last three days. More than
S118 100000 was collected in 1921 in
the 2dDistrict, while the total to date
for this year is only slightly more than
$56,2o0,OOo.
The great reduction in receipts, it is
said, is proving a surprise to Treasury
officials, Secretary Mellon having ex-
pected decrease Of only about 81 per
cent from The figures Of last March. The
decrease has taken place in spite Of the
fact that nearly 100000 returns, as
against $4,000 last year, have been
filed at the Manhattan Office. Collector
Bowers believes the decrease is due
to the fact that the majority Of corpo-
ratons reporting have shown much
smaller profits than a year ago, with
a resulting diminution in the large
taxes paid, and also to the more liberal
scale of exemptions allowed by the law
this year. Although a small number OF
sacks of mail still remain unassorted,

An automobile drew up at the curb
about p. m. yesterday at First Avenue
and Ninety-frst Street. The four men
who were in it jumped brskly out and
walked to 430 East Ninety-frst Street,
the Office of the Enterprise Tinware
Company.
Morris Pfeffer, vice president of the
company, was in the Office with William
Hollstein, Meyer Levine and Abe Gold
stein. The door opened and the four
men walked in.
"Good evening" said the leader,

fedora hat and carried the conventional
black revolver in his hand. "We're
IN hurry, so just stick 'em up quick
and l1ne UP against the wall"
Mr. Pfetfer led the procession to the
wall, his hands held high. Sixty men
ana women were in the workrooms
above the office and soon would come
trooping down the stairs on their wav
home. Mr.. Pfeffer tried hard to think
OF some method of delaying proceed

jumped in and drove away. The entire
episode occupied about three minutes,
though Sfefer, Hollstein, Levine and
Holdsteln found it hard to believe,
even when they looked at the clock.
Less than an hour before Hollstein
had returned from the Pacific Bank on
Broome Street with the $1,4OO to meet
the pay roll. He had come up town on
the Lexington Avenue subway to
Elghty-sixth Street, where he had taken
a surface car to First Avenue. The
police believe he was followed all the
way from the bank.
Charles Ready, paymaster of the
Singer Manufacturing Company plant
in Elizabeth N. j., was attacked by a
robber yesterday as he climbed the
stairs from the fourth to the fifth floor
with 1000 in box strapped over his
shoulder with which to pay off en-
ployees on the fifth floor.
His assailant struck him on the head
with piece Of steel, but the blow
failed to fell the paymaster. Ready
grasped the stair rail and turned to
confront the robber. The latter darted
past him up the stairs and disappeared.
He wore neither coat nor hat and
Ready told the police he thought he

Oyler. Drug Chief,
Fights S Prisoner,
Who Pulls Pistol
Narcotic Director
Narrowly Escapes Death
When Peddler's Revolver
Luckily Misses Fire

Ralph Oyler, director of the Federal
narcotic squad, narrowly escped death
last night at Fifth Street and Avenue
in an encounter with Charles White,
twenty-seven years old, of 254 East
Thirteenth Street, who twice pulled
the trigger of revolver in a struggle
with the Federal official. Both cart
ridges failed to explode and Oyler
closed with White, whom he beat into
insensibility.
The struggle followed the arrest by
Detectives Mellcn and Mccormick, of
DR.. Simon's staff, Of Samuel Sonnen-
berg, alias "Bonehead," twenty-five
years old, who lives at ASA Stanton
Street. Sonnenberg and White, the
Federal agents said last night, had
the department, consignment of
drugs. Director Oyler, with six men
of his own staff and three of DR.. ST.
mons squad, met Sonnenberg at Fifth
Street and Avenue B, where he arrived
accompanied by a second man When
Sonnenberg was arrested his compan-
ion ran and was pursued by agents.
Before Sonnenbcrg's arrest he indi-
Gated nearby corner where White
would be found with another consign
ment of drugs for delivery. Director
Oyler proceeded to the spot with De-
tectives Moog and Meisenthal, of the
Police Department. The transaction
with White had been completed and he
was placed under arrest. A man who
had accompanied him ran and was pur
sueo by the two detectives, leaving the
Federal official in charge of White. The
latter drew revolver and after two
attempts to fire was overpowered by
Oyler.
During the struggle Oyler and his
prisoner crashed through a glass side
door of the Henry jacob drug store,
falling to the floor inside and partially
wrecking the interior before White was
subdued. An ambulance surgeon from
Bellevue Hospital attended White, after
which he and Sonnenberg were locked
up at Police Headquarters charged with
ira rafficking in narcotics.
According to Oyler, Sonnenberg is
awaiting trial under $4,000 bonds for
robbery and is also under $4,000 bonds
on a previous charge of selling mar
cotics. White, the police say, has a
police record, having served ten years
for carrying weapons.
