Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, July 2.-Customs re-
ceipts on goods imported through
Baltimore increased more than s4,-
100000, or 41.3 per cent. in the fiscal
year that closed Monday. and collec-
tions established a new high record
here with a total of s13,s23.s44.61, ac-
cording to a statement by Collector
of Customs Charles H. Hoffman.
Every month except the last four
showed substantially larger receipts
than the corresponding months of
the fiscal year 1923.
The 1928 collections represented an
increase of 400 per cent over colIec-
tions for 1922. Until 1923 the high
record of s6,000,0 900, collected in 1907,
had not been exceeded.
Mr.. Holtzman said the increase
fairly reflected the growing i'm
portance of Baltimore as a foreign
trade port. The month Of June.
which shows the smallest income of
the year. is normally lower than
others. he explained. while the slump
that began in March is partly due
to the general slackening of business
and partly to the arrival of larger
cargoes of free sugar than formerly.

Renal Pasha, new boss of Turkey
and the Mohammedan world, tries ex-

hibition. He will end the caliphate, do
ing away with the powers of the all
powerful religious head, supposed to
represent Mohammed, and inherit his
authority.
The Caliph, Prince Abdul Medjid Eff
fendi, will be driven out, and not al
lowed to take the treasure of the cali
phate with him.
That is as serious step to NOLAN
medans as it would be to Catholics if
Mussolini were to drive out the Pope
and seize the property of the. Vatican.

Somebody discovers, with horror,
that large sums of money are spent
taking care of insane aliens. That be
ing the case, aliens should be kept
out, say the horror-stricken ones.
What about the thousands of mil
lions of dollars that aliens, not insane,
have added to the wealth of the
United States? What about the fact
that they build practically all the rail
roads, most of the other roads, and
that they contribute at least so per-
cents to the building of all houses?
Doesn't that count?
