SPLENDID Time

New York, July "a - (UP) -
Eighty-four visiting Mormon, up
bright and early, were ready today
to tackle another sensational tour
of the gay night spots. They COM
pleted a full day last night at a
popular night club, still In high
spirits and apparently none the
worse for consumption of many
glasses of milk
Mrs. Vida Fox Clawson, director
of the pilgrimage from Salt Lake
City, said it was wonderful to travel
with the party.
"They never drink or oversleep
or miss trains or anything" she
rejoiced. There is not one in the
whole party who smokes. Our re-
ligion teaches or anything" she
bruises and sick cattle.
But we don't worry about what
other people DO. We're broad-mind-
ed, and we thought while we were
in New York we ought to see all
the sights"
Only two fell from grace and
were forgiven. as it happened at
Jack Dempsey's where wrong
drink is famous.
IT can't imagine what got into
father and mother" a young wo-
man mourned. They both drank
coffee. I'm SO ashamed of them"
The party came east chiefly to
visit shrines associated with the
Mormon faith.

Nelv Hampshire 7olun
Has SIS, 900 Surplus
Conn. River Farming Hamlet OF MunrOe Wonders How
II Will Spend Revenues Before the Govern
ment Makes Claim for Surplus

Munroe, n. H., July 27.-UP)-
Everybody in Munroe is living on
easy street. This Connecticut river
farming hamlet of 500 souls has a
peculiar problem in taxation-how
to spend its annual revenues before
the state claims the surplus. To-
day there was $4,000 lying idle
in thetreasury with nothing urgent
to use it for. Munroe's pleasant
predicament, dating from 1892, is
the result Of erection here of two
huge power plants, one with an
assessed valuation Of $4,000, 600
and the other 100000. They pay
95 per cent of the taxes, and resi-
dents 5 per cent.
Easy TaxatiOn
This year the tax rate is $1.0S
per 500. Last year it was 81
cents, in 1898, only 92,and in 1892,
a mere rs. But. then, Munroe is
building UP.
1t has a new $50,O0O grammar
school. maintained at a cost of
$4,000 a year, with an adjoining
athletic field; new $4,000 steel
bridge across the river; miles of
new asphalt highway; a new town
physician at $4,000 yearly; and a
new salaried caretaker for the two
town cemeteries. There's $4,000
available yearly for roads; and all
town buildings get fresh coat of
paint oncea year.
Munroe voters don't know just
what to do with that extra $4,000
lying around. There's some talk of
starting new 100000 high school
so about 80 home boys and girls
won't have to be crossing the river
to attend classes at McIndoe Falls.

AUTO VIOLATORS
OF PARKING Law
TOBE REMINDED
Will Be Given So Many
Hours in Which to
Answer Tags

Announcement of a new system
of dealing with drivers who re-
cesve parking tags and fail to re-
port at headquarters within "a
hours was made to-day by Police
superintendent Joseph H. Mclean.
Hereafter, If the driver has not all
swered the tag within "a hours. he
will be sent form letter pointing
out the lapse, and receive 4S hours
grace to mail a check or bring the
money to the police station. FAIL
ing to do SO, he will be arrested
and treated the same as other pris-
oners. After arrest. he Will not be
released on payment of the requi-
site dollar but will be hailed into
court, where he faces a penalty OF
costs in addition to fine.
May Hasten Payment
Superintendent Mclean believes
that the new system, which goes
into effect immediately, will hasten
payment on the part of laggards.
'rhe new regulations governing
payment will be vigorously en-
forced, he stated. with no excep-
lions being made or time extern
sions given.
The form letter, over the police
heads signature, informs the car
owner that he has violated city
ordinance by parking illegally. 1t
informs that he has as hours TO
act; otherwise he will be placed
under arrest.
Reluctant To Arrest
Superintendent Mclean is con-
fident that the reminder" system
will eliminate much OF the pres
ent effort needed to get the dollar
fine from parking law violators.
Police have been reluctant to ar
rest a driver because he fails to
pay a parking fine in the period
specified by law. but the new sys-
tenn, 1t is claimed, will give him
enough notice to Justify his arrest
II he fails to heed 1t.

year old FERA worker crouched
in a penitentiary cell today and
bagged guards to protect him from
a Colorado Springs mob enraged
by reports that he attempted to
murder his IL year old son for
$1,000 insurance. Police said the
prisoner, John Hull, confessed the
attack, but asserted he thought the
boy better dead than alive be-
cause he dressed like a girl and
acted like a girl" The boy, Cor

was unconscious with multiple
skull fractures.
Colorado Springs police slipped
the accused man out a rear door of

marched on the jail. The crowd
