HARDY TAXPAYERS
 HAILED INTO COURT
Drive Begun on Those Owing for Back Taxes
FOUR FINED SATURDAY
Pioneers Win Serics--New Britain Man Hits Trolley-Mrs. Burt Dies In Windsor-Camp Meetings Con- tinue-PlainNillc Briefs.

! A drive on delinquent taxpayers was begun Saturday when two men and two women who had not paid their 1922 personal tax were sum- moned into court and forced 10 pay the costs of court in addition to the amount due. Tax Collector w. J. Hemingway, in common with past collectors, has had considerable trouble in the collection of this tax, and at last it has been decided to round up the delinQucnts and force them to pay.
 Deputy E. w. Furrcy served war rants on the four who appeared Sat
 urday and has more warrants for several other persons. These must either pay their S2 immediately or they will be halcd into court and be
 assessed the costs as well as the tax.
 Many persons still owe for 1922,
 1928 and 1924. They have been giN-

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, October IA
tBy MaiD.-ThiS city of some $4,000
men, women and children is a great
gateway through which a horde of
eagereyed tourists, sight -Seers and
fortune seekers passes every day. Be-
ing gateway, 1t has the misfortune
OF seeing many of the itinerants pass
on, but enough Of them stop here to
make things lively. The streets around
midday remind one OF the corner at
Fifteenth and New York avenue when
the Treasury quits work for lunch.
Automobiles dash up one and down
another, footing their horns bolster
ously at the fleeing pedestrians.
Taxicabs of every color and hue Of the
rainbow cut the corners on two wheels
and draw up to the curb screeching
their brakes with a Partisan sang-froid
not shared by the occupants. Lights
which would bring joy to the heart Of
Mr.. Eldridge flash their little blue,
green and yellow signals gayly, regu
lating traffic with metropolitan ease,
efficiency and speed. Jacksonville,
though they say it is far removed from
the real booming areas, has hit a
boom stride and looks 1t every inch.
Jacksonville's booster organization
goes under the optimistic, big-hearted,
red-blooded name of the Believers in
Jacksonville. It's officials have figures

MYSTERY SHROUDS
SHAKE-UP OF DRYS
Personnel Changes Kept Sc
cret as Move in Proposed
War on "Higher-Ups."

Mystery still shrouded details of the
big prohibition shake-up in field
forces, effective at the close Of busi-
ness last night, throughout the Nation,
but it was learned this morning that
there had been sweeping changes in
the Washington enforcement unit.
The number of old men dismissed,
as we'll as the number of new men
named as agents, was zealously
guarded as a state secret by all Off.
cials concerned.
There was unusual activity, how.
ever, around local prohibition head
quarters, where Gerald p. Murphy,
deputy prohibition administrator in
charge of the National Capital, was
going over plans and conferring with
his new corps of agents.
No names were made public by the
prohibition authorities, in connection
with the change, but it was learned
that among those who were let out
were some of the best known and
most active agents in the local force.
The system of dismissals and reap
pointments, which brought such a big
shake-up in the force expected to dry
up the Nations Capital, under the
Presidents new enforcement drive,
was based on an order isued months
ago, which provided that all persons
in prohibition, not under the civil serv.
ice would be dismissed at the close
of business October Is, and only those
reappointed at that time would remain
on the rolls. This obviated the necessi.
ty of individual dismissals.
Discharge Terms Protested.
Several agents, not reappointed,
gave up their guns, badges. pocket
commissions and travel orders last
evening at the close Of business, and
others appeared this morning 20 con-
clude their connection with the Gov
ernment. AL were paid as of October
15, which is a regular Government pay
day.
There was much dissatisfaction evi.
dent among some of the agents who
were dismissed, as they said they had
been given no other reason than that
it was for the good of the service.
One Of the explanations for dis.
missal. as given by an official today.
was that some of the agents, in fact,
had become too well known in the
vicinity Of Washington. When the
identity OF a man as a prohibition
agent is disclosed, in the opinion of
one official, his effectiveness as a
prohibition agent has been largely
reduced.
I'VE intend to keep our new agents
under cover as long as possible, both
from the general public and the boot
leggers," said one official 1--WE are
going after the source of supply, more
than ever. To catch one manufacturer
or big importer of liquor means more
than to catch many hip-pocket
dealers"
This does not mean, however, that
there will be any let up in the drive
on all vioIators, it is believed, as the
police, many Of whom are commission
ed as prohibition agents, are still on
the trail OF rum, and are under orders
from police headquarters to keep after

DEAD" MAN BACK;

Supposed Victim of Mine

NEW YORK. October 16.-William
H. Turner, former coal mine foreman
Of feudist Pike County, KY, tired
Of being dead in Germany. is back

numbering the unidentified mine
worker whose tombstone bears Tur-
ner'S name.
He also Is accused of the murder
of Henry Wilson, another mine
worker killed In q mysterious explo-
sion in a coal mine at McCarr, Ky.
The fatal explosion was considered
an accident until Turner, who blames
others for the affair, got homesick
in Hamburg and wrote to Ken
lucky friend letter that reached
the authorities.
When Turner, under weight from
short rations and with his belongings
in a papier mache suit case, stepped
off the Gangplank Of the liner Reso-
lutte, arriving from Hamburg yester-
day. he was greeted by Taylor Hat
field, one Of the famous feudist clan,
and a deputy sheriff Of Pike County.
Hatfield showed Turner q warrant
for his arrest.
Mrs. Turner, who has been living
in Trenton, N j., with her five chill
dren since she and Turner's sister.
Mrs. F. F. Farley of Coral Gables,
Fla, collected $85, 900 insurance after

had been bringing her children up in
that belief. She said she had no part

FOR RALST0N SEAT
Appointment Now May Pre-.
vent Fatal Split in Race
in 1926.
By G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The death Of Senator Ralston OF
Indiana gives to the administration
another Republican vote in the Senate
during the coming session Of Con-
gress. weakening the Democratic op-
position.
1t also changes overnight the situa-
ton which has confronted the Re-
publicans in Indiana, where they must
elect Republican Senator next year
or lose seat to the Democrats.
Two Senators will be elected next
year in Indiana, and 1t appears that
the Republicans should have an easier
time electing both Senators than If
they had only to elect the one. para.
doxical though such a proposition may
seem.
Senator Watson comes up for re-
election next year. Watson, while
popular in Indiana, has a considerable
number Of enemies. Former Senator
Albert J. Beveridge, 1t is understood,
had planned to announce his candi-
dacy for the Republican nomination
against Senator Watson after the city
elections in Indianapolis November 3.
Friction May Be Eliminated.
With two Senators to be elected,
Beveridge and Watson may both be
candidates, and work together to
bring victory to the Republicans.
This would make a vastly different
situation for the Democrats, who
were hoping for serious friction in
the Republican ranks to be able to
win the Senate seat now held by
Senator Watson. 1t will be remem-
bered that both Senator Watson and
Postmaster General Harry New rode
into the Senate following the death,
in 1916. OF Senator Shively, a Demo
crat, by just such a union of the
Republican factions as now becomes
possible. Senator Watson defeated
Tom" Taggart, who had been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused by
Shively's death, and Mr.. New de-
feated Senator Kern.
The fly in the ointment of such
a happy political lineup for the Re-
publicans next year may be the am
bitions of Gov. Ed Jackson of In
diana, who is suspected of having
senatorial aspirations himself. He
has the appointing of a Senator now
to fill the vacancy created by the
death or senator RalStOn, until the
next general election is held, which
is November. 1926.
If Gov. Jackson foregoes his own
aspirations to enter the Senate and
appoints Senator Beveridge, as it is
predicted in many quarters he will,
the plan of the Republicans to capture
the two Senate places next year may
move along smoothly.
Beveridge Sure to Run.
should appoint as Senator former
Gov. Goodrich or some other deserv-
ing Republican who would step aside
in favor of the governors candidacy
for the nomination next year, that
would be still another thing. His
failure to appoint Mr.. Beveridge, how
ever, would not eliminate that very
