PEOPLE SLOW ABOUT PAYING
THEIR POLL TAX

New Orleans.-Payment of pol
taxes continues slow with total ap
proximatcly 10000 according to Jas
Barrett, chief clerk in the poll tax
division of the city treasurer's Of
flee. Mr.. Barrett estimates that a
total of around 10000 poll taxes will
be paid this year, which leaves TO-.
600 to collect in twenty-seven days, or
an average of more than $500 a day
Several teachers have collected poll
taxes from their co-workers, and sent
the lists Of names into the office
Miss Kinnabrew sent in fifty two
names from the Sophie Wright high
school and all the names of teachers
from the Belleview school were sent
in by Miss Alice Hart.
The negro longshoremen's organiza-
eion sends in annually a list of from
1900 to 1,400 names although few
OF their number can vote This is
done to help the public schools. Mr.
Barrett expressed the hope that white
organizations might follow this ex-
ample and increase the payment of
taxes as well as prevent the usual
rush at the end of December.
Participation in the next state. city
and presidential elections will depend
on whether poll tax payments are
made prior to December 81. All these
elections will come in 1923 and 1924.

Georges Carpenter. idol of France whose notable record in the boxing ring has won him fame and fortune and whose fascinating personality has made him the idol of two continents will be the chief attraction at the Empress theater in "The Wonder Man." Understandable super-spe- Cia production, for two days wing, beginning tonight.
 The picture promises an entertain mont unique in the realm of the cin- ema art. Unlike the previous efforts of producers to bring champions Of the prize ring before the public on the silver screen in the roles oi daredevil heroes or in hair-raisine serials, Georges Carpenter is given as a vehicle an intriguing romance of American society, with himself in the role of smart. well-dressed man about town.
 ''The Wonder Man" gives the public it's first opportunity for his many admirers to see him. The great de- mand to see Carpenter in the boxing ring was proved beyond doubt by the crowd that flocked to the studio to see him when a great fight scene for the picture was staged More than 1000 persons braved the muddy roads of New Jersey to see him in his fighting togs for the first time in America.
 Carpenter is supported by a not. able cast in "The Wonder Man in cluding such prominent screen artists and Florence Billings.

MARTINS FERRY, Ohio, Jan 19.-- It's unsafe to mention Colonel Tay- Tor" to a coterie of local men.
 The colonel and his pocket flask arrived on a car from Wheeling.
 Samples from the flask proved the colonel had e-Volsteadian liquor. He agreed" to let a few of his newly-made acquaintances in on a deal, if they would pay the revenue.
 All they had to do was to put up $S a case to pay Uncle Sam. The remainder was payable on delivery.
 The local victims are awaiting de- livery, some with the knowledge that their five cases never will come.
