Despite the thousands of forms and
scores of regulations issued by the
treasury department telling how to
pay the income tax the laws are still
misunderstood. Two rherks rerently

withheld at their source. They were
sent to the department and not to a
collector of internal revenue of the
proper district. Checks have been
mailed to the proper collector, and
later be sent here by him. They were
not mailed by a private person, but
by financial institutions. It is esti

best proof that the Danish Colonial
Lottery stands in high favor both at
home and abroad, a preference which
is perfectly justified, as no other lot

The lottery consists of 50,000 tickets
of which 21,550 will be drawn with
prizes, thus nearly every second ticket
must win. ^
The total amount of all prizes which
will be distributed amongst the play
ers, reaches t|ie enormous amount of
5,175,000 francs in gold.
The chief prizes are as follows:

portant mar. in one of the most ex
tensive businesses in the world. For
years photographers have been trying
to get him to pose or looking for a
snapshot of him.
On this occasion he was caught as
he was leaving an automobile for his
wholesale house in New York City
the firm of Claflin & Co. is said to
have a controlling interest in many
large department stores throughout
the country. Mr. Claflin has been
mentioned in New York for public
office many times, and it is probable
that he has refused many nominations.
Public office does not seem to furnish
the kind of fame which might suit
him.
It is learned that among the pro
gressive measures that the newly in
stalled council will consider is that of
giving the city of Athens what she
badly needs—a police alarm and pa
trol wagon system.
It is learned that Councilman Gor
don will bring the attention of coun
cil to this important matter at an
early date.
Chief Favora It.
Chief of Police Brooks stropgly en
dorses the idea, and has already made

New York, January 15.—Richard D.

York, committed suicide in his Brook
lyn apartments this morning by in

ried a Brooklyn society girl.
Trade in Athens.
ase' street
Use Hacks aa Patrol.
Athens at present conveys her pris-
oners to police station via hack, it
the walking is not good, and charges
the hack fare to the offender. This i»
quite primitive, to say the least, and
for a go ahead city like Athena not in
keeping at pll.
A case came up in police court today
which a defendant 'had been con
veyed last night to the station and
charged 75 cents hack fare. He was
released to appear at court today, but
did not turn up. The recorder fined
him for contempt of court, and the
city kept the 75 cents for the ride.
In/Touch with Headquarters.
With the telephone system, the
chief says his idea is to have the men
on the beats phone to headquarters
every hour so as to keep in touch with
what is going on. At present the
chief often wants to give an order to
some officer, but has to wait until the
latter comes to th» station, perhaps
hours later, too late to accomplish
what was needed in way of arrest,
etc.
Expensive.
Chief Brooks is very much in ear
nest about the alarm or telephone sys
tem. The great trouble is most sys
tems are very expensive, and it is not
thought that the city government can
at present afford to install same.
However a few boxes at the outlying
districts might be placed and not coat
the city any enormous sum. They
are badly needed, likewise a patrol
wagon.
