taxes according to towns, carry the
totals for each division and stamp the
amount on separate cards and sheets,
as well as separate the original bills
from the duplicates. 1t is possible at
the end Of each day to know to cent
the amount Of money taken in and to
make prompt balances. Tax payers
watching the machines handle their
bills marvel at their ingenuity.
During the weeks when the tax
rush is on, approximately $50 clerks,
auditors, bookkeepers and tellers are
employed. We borrow expert machine
operators from the banks for special
technical work. During the busy sea-
son the work goes on for twenty-four
hours each day. One crew starts work
at O'Clock in the morning, another
goes on duty at 5 o'clock in the after
noon and a third force works from 10
o'clock at night until 8 o'clock the
next morning
Zone Of my requirements is that
every letter received, and thousands
come in every day, must be answered
the same day, and with the exception
Of the last few days of the rush, every
tax receipt must be mailed out the
day following the receipt Of the money
or check.
Bills for every piece Of property
are made out in advance, with dupli-
Gates for each one Originals are
mailed out to property owners and
duplicates kept in our Office for those
who do not receive originals. When
the bills are returned with money or
checks they 60 to the cash register
machines. The original receipts are
sent to the mailing department. The
duplicate receipts are sorted numer-
/
ically and experts mark the individual
items paid on the tax records Another
force rechecks this stamping, and a
third check is made in the auditing
department. Warrant clerks must sign
their names TO each duplicate when
they mark the taxes paid, and the sys-
tenn is SO perfected that it is impossible
for any clerk to wrongfully mark taxes
paid without detection. Each piece Of
property listed is given an office num-
Der and personal property items are
specially stamped, and all unpaid items
are listed with the states attorney for
collection.

HON. p. J. CARR HAS FOR THE PAST
SIX YEARS AS TREASURER OF
COOK COUNTY INSTITUTED
MANY REFORMS IN CONDUCTING
THE AFFAIRS OF THE PEOPLE OF
THIS CITY AND COUNTY WHICH
HAS IN MANY WAYS BEEN VERY
BENEFICIAL TO THEM.

To bring to the Sheriff's Office the
same business efficiency that has been
his aim during his six years incum-
bency as County Treasurer was the
promise made today to the Elks OF
Oak Park at luncheon held in their
club house
early in my administration | dis
covered that if was to give the peo-
pie real service and conserve the
money Of the tax payers, my Office
would have to be run on strict bust
ness principles, with the same eff
cheney and discipline that is found in
banks or other private business insti-
tutions," said Mr.. Carr. THE letters
Of commendation that / have received
from people who have transacted bust
ness at my Office convince me that my
efforts in that direction have succeed
ed and are appreciated. There have
been times in previous years when
tax payers had to stand in line fo1
hours before they could be accommo-
dated. Under our new system Of
branch repositories no one should be
required to wait more than ten or ff-
teen minutes, even during the greatest
rush"
''The system Of dealing with the tar
payers has been practically reorgan
lied. One Of the greatest improve,
ments was the installation of cash
register auditing machines that are al
most human in their perfection anc
operation. 1 and my assistants worked
with the officials Of a cash register
company for two years before they
could build a machine that would NEE
my requirements.
This machine has so speeded ul
the work Of the Office that it is pos
sible for the city, county, board Of ed
ucation and other branches Of tn,
Government to receive their proportion
Of the collections several month,
earlier than in previous years, thereby
saving them large sums of interes
money on tax anticipation warrants
1t might be said incidentally that oul

N.A.A.c.P. ASKS PROTECTION
FOR cARTERET, N. J. NE
GROES FROM MOB
Investigator on Scene Reports Politics
Helped Cause Church Burning

New York, (recentiy)-The Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, 60 Fifth ave
nue., today announced that following
riotous attacks on the colored people
of Carteret, N. J., and the burning OF
the local Baptist Church, the Asso-
cations Director Of Publicity, Her
bert J.. Seligmann, had proceeded at
once to the scene of the trouble, had
visited Mayor Mulvihill and demanded
full police protection for the colored
citizens of the town. In addition, the
N.A.A.CP. twice telegraphed Cover
nor A. Harry Moore OF New Jersey,
urging military protection if necessary
for the colored people.
Mr.. Se1igmann's report on the Car
teret trouble is as follows:
early Sunday morning in a street
fight between colored and white men,
John Carroll, white boxer well
known locally, was stabbed to death
on the streets of Carteret. That night
a mob formed, determined to run the
Negroes out of town. attacked the
First Baptist Church during services,
routing the worshipers and burning
the church TO the ground. Upwards
of 100 colored people were driven out
of Carteret and of those who remained
many stayed all night in the Armour
and Liebig fertilizer plants where they
were employed or barricaded them
selves in their homes.
THE town was quiet although
threats of violence against Negroes
were made in connection with the flu
neral of the prize fighter, Carroll, on
the following day, which fortunately,
however, passed off without incident.
Mayor Mu1vihill assured me that the
entire police force would be used to
protect colored citizens Of Carteret.
"The Rev. George H. Reed, pastor
of the church which was burned, pub
licly charged that the riot was due to
political animosity, colored votes hav-
ing helped elect the present Mayor,
there being about 600 Negroes in Car
teret and the Mayor having won by
about $50 votes. Rev. Reed charged
that bootlegging and home brew ac-
tivities went on openly in the town
and contributed to the trouble. This
charge was corroborated by other peo-
pie"
The NaA.A.C.P. also announced that
Rev. Louis Berry Of Newark. had
volunteered to lead delegation Of
colored people to call upon Governor
Moore and ask protection for the col
ored people Of Carteret. Rev. Reed
has announced that he will lead the
exiled colored people back to their
homes and will rebuild the destroyed
church.
In the kilograms to Governor Moore
the N.A.A.C.P. urged arrest Of those
responsible for the riotous attack on
colored people and the burning Of the
church. To date no white people have
been arrested. Three colored men,
alleged to have been implicated in the
stabbing Of the white prizehghter and
his companion. are in custody in the
Brunswick county jail.

Edward Anderson said he was at
tracted to the Sweet home BY "curi-
osity" after he had discovered that
traffic had been detoured around the
place. He estimated there were from
50 to 100 people on the street, near the
corner of Garland and Charlevoix. He
denied knowing that colored family
had moved into the district, and did
not change his testimony after Darrow
read from the transcript Of his testi-
mony in the former trial in which he
stated "he had heard about it"
Fred A. Benoit said the neighbor-
hood was quiet on the evening Of the
shooting and that he went to sleep on
the porch Of his. home after dinner.
Later, accompanied by two acquaint-
ances, he said he walked down to the
corner of Garland and Char1evoix be-
cause Of curiosity" The most peo-
pie he saw congregated, he declared,
was two or three in place. Darrow

STATE PUSHES SECOND
SWEET TRIAL
preston News Servicel

(PreStOn News SerV1ce)
Detroit, Mich, May 6.--Nine wit
nesses deny mob spirit existed at time
Breiner was shot. Il heard volley Of
shots-saw the fash of FIRE; then Leon
Breiner yelled, My God, I'm shot!'
I started to run away but the first step
I took l was shot"
This was the testimony Friday Of
Eric Haugberg, a witness for the state
in the trial Of Henry Sweet, before
Judge Frank Murphy in recorders
court. Sweet is one Of the IL charged
with the murder Of Bremen during a
disturbance in front Of the home Of
DR.. Ossian NJ. Sweet, last September.
State Builds It's Case
Haugberg's testimony added to the
structure Of evidence that Prosecuting
Attorney Toms and his chief assistant,
Lester Mol, have been building around
the defendant.
Defense Counsel Clarence Darrow
and Thomas F. Chawke have battled
to mar the states picture of the crime,
and have succeeded to considerable
extent in drawing from witnesses adj
missions that a crowd had assembled
in the vicinity, that stones were hurled
at the Sweet residence prior to the
shooting, and that people in the neigh
borhood were opposed to the presence
Of Negroes.
OF nine witnesses questioned Fri
day, all denied the existence Of a
crowd. Haugberg stated that there
were a few people on the street. He
said he was upstairs shaving, unaware
of impending trouble in the commu-
nifty, when he heard volIey of shots.
He rushed downstairs, he said, and
was standing few feet from Breiner
when the second volley rang out.
Someone carried him into a garage,
Haugberg testified, after which he lost
consciousness, recovering later in Re
ceiving hospital.
Mary Henley testified she was up
stairs changing her dress when she
heard shooting and a bullet crashed
through the door near where she was
standing. She went downstairs, she
said, and saw several people, some OF
whom were carrying away man who
had been shot.

The Crew Sale

The public sale at the residence
of Mr.. John Crew and his sister
Miss Anna Grew, on the west side,
last Friday, was one of the largest
attended, probably the largest, ever
held in the county. In fact, it more
resembled a big day at the county
fair then anything else-the people
were there in such throngs, from
everywhere.
While things sold rapidly and
we'll, it was impossible to find hours
enough in the day to get them all
sold, and we are informed that
there were enough articles left to
make another big public sale, if it
were desired. The stock sale
horses, cattle and sheep. came last
in the day, and owing to the late
ness of the hour, and the desire to
get to this part of the sale, a large
number of articles-particularly
antiques, it had been expected to
dispose of, were not put up for

Lunch was sold on the grounds
by the Main Street Church of Christ
people, and many persons took their
dinners with them, SO that at the
noon hour, was one grand big pic

The work of Price and Bauer was

thus far. Both teams scored in the
