IS COLLECTED HERE The Brooklyn Internal r.evenua ofhee je.iterdny collected (2,300,001) In Income taxes. The greater part came by check, and the clerks worked until midnight. The whole amou.it wns sent to the Federal Reserve Bank before the office closed. The collections were about equal to those of the last day for the payment' of the fourth Income tax installment a. year ago.

"The aggregate of the fourth Installment, however. Is less bv over hnlf a million dollars than that taken in In December. 1910. Thia year's Income taxes paid between Dec 1 and Dec. 15 amounted to $5.500,000, while last year's taxes for tha sama period were 16,100,000.

Since checks mailed before midnight of Dec. 15 are-considered as having been paid on time, the total will be increased by taxes received loday.

S. Agent Says Stock Was Bought Illegally in N. Y. (Xprrittl to The Vault:) San Francisco. Dec.

16 A new an gle has appeared in the question of the liquor supply of the pleasure yacht of James Shewan, mil lionaire Brooklyn shipbuilder. Special Agent A. B. Stroup of the Treasury Department, who assisted two weeks ago In the seizure of the Patricia and her $25,000 Bupply of whisky, says the Government agents were justified In raiding the yacht because the liquor was purchased Illegally In New York only a year ago. It had been understood the Patricia's rum stock was purchased with the yacht.

Collector of Customs Hamilton received word from the customs olflcluls of New York that the Patricia was not documented us an American vessel, but was operating under a recorded bill of sale. When that Information was turned over to United States Attorney John T. Williams, the word was given out from Hamilton's department that they had no concern in the Patricia under that evidence.

CHATFIELD REVERSED IN FLYING BOAT SUIT The United States Circuit Court of Appeals, In an opinion written by Judge Charles M. Hough and concurred in by Judges Mat-tin T. Mtintnn and Julius M.

Mayer, filed yesterday, reversed the action of Judge Chatfleld of the Brooklyn Federal District Court, dismissing a suit brought by the Cur-tlss Aeroplane and Motor Corporation and Glenn H. Curtiss, challenging the right of Albert B. Janln and the Janin Company, of Staten Island, to patent 1,312,912, for a hydroaeroplane, granted them on Aug. 12, 1919, by the Commissioner of Patents. The effect of the decision of the Appellate Court, reversing Judge Chat- field's action and remanding the suit with direction to the lower court to grant the prayer of the bill without costs, Is to credit Curtiss with being tun lirst person to invent and success fully operate a hydroaeroplane or fly lug boat.

(Utt the Astociated I'reaa.) Cohlenz, Germany, Nov. 10 Workmen 'in most parts of Germany are said now to be receiving better wages, everything considered, than prior to the war, and working shorter hours. This Is particularly true Of the occupied area, according to American army officers who, In their line of duty, have come in contact with the German working classes.

That the workman Is able to live better under present conditions is due, in a large measure, to the fact that strict regulations of rood prices have been enforced by German authorities and has prevented shopkeepers from boosting the cost of the necessities of life, despite depreciation In the value of the mark. These regulations apply-chiefly to house rent, meat, potatoes and other Btaples produced within the country. Many luxuries have increased in price, especially within the last few weeks, when the mark took a tumble; but the currency fluctuation has not materially affected food in the markets patronised by the working classes. One hundred marks a day Is considered a fair wage for the average working man, skilled workmen and miners receiving considerably more, some as high aa 200 marks a day, while the common laborer makes but 50 or 60 marks foi eight hours. Professors in the universities and school teachers maintain that they have not fared so well as the working man, receiving on an average of less than 80 marks a day.

Since the war the Germans do not eat as much meat as formerly, potatoes forming the principle article of food. Dark bread In three-pound loaves is sold for -7 marks, this being a mixture resembling rye bread as made in America. It is considered very wholesome and It is eaten by many Americans, among them MaJ. Gen. Henry T.

Allen, commander of the American forces In Germany, who has it. on his table at home at every meal. FEDERAL CLUB ELECTION The Federal Republican Club elected officers last night a follows: William J.

1 KILLED7210UNDED IN SALOON GUN WAR Antonio Manoletto, 22 years old, was shot and killed late last night In the former liquor saloon of Patsy Cappa-rano, at 1 80 Sands st. Manoletto lived at 190 York and he entered the place with his brother, Sam Manoletto, and ordered a drink. It Is alleged Samuel Ramollo, of 188 Jay drew a. revolver and shot Manoletto. The brother, drew a revolver and there was a general exchange of shots.

In the course of the fusilade Ramollo got wounded In the left leg and tbigh and Samuel Manoletto was shot in the back and chest. Patrolmen Finn of the Poplar st. station heard the nose and got to the place just as Antonio Manoletto staggered out to the street and dropped dead. The other two were taken to the Cumberland Street Hospital, where both are detained as prisoners. Their recovery is expected.

A fourth man, who, it Is claimed, participated in the shooting, escaped. It is believed that the dispute arose over the distribution of money, the profits either of deul-ing in narcotics or in liquor. 10 POLICEMEN RETIRE.

It meant a great deal la a boy, that hard-earned aum. The bank ia ahaped like a toy war lank. With the thought of the empn ahoea In hia mind, he told hia father that he wanted to give a dollar lo the hungry little boya. of Brooklyn. Hui father figured that he had Juat about ti In the bank ao Jack gave one-fifth of all he bad.

Out of the toy which symbolized a machine of death came a contribution to help make one little boy live perhapa a aunny-halred, la ghing child just like Jack. Reruns little Jack made the aacrl-fli-e and becauae hia heart taaa In l. the golden deed takea ita place beside the magnificent offering for tht poor of Mr. Anonymous, the mysterious Christmas Santa Claus who, yesterday, duplicated hia aplendid act of last year and contributed $1,000 to be used In the. relief of such canca as might be selected.

There is another little boy whose heart was also touched like little Jack'a by the plight of the poor children. He listened to The Eagle'a atory and -told his father he would give H. too. His name is Maurice and he lives in South Brooklyn. "fitild Star" Mitlr AliU.

Among yesierday'a contributions was one of $2 "from a gold star mother," and another for a similar amount which came wrapped up in a piece of newspaper from a woman on Long Island. There were several contributions, accompanied by letters, in which the donors expressed the wish that they could give more. Last night it was again bitter cold. The biting frost caused Intense suffering among the very poor as it did the night before. That man that there was suffering in the homes of the thirty families, many of which have not food or coal enough and under-nourished children.

Every contribution from generous Eagle readers means bo much less suffering for the family for which it is designated; more milk for the little ones, more coal to keep them warm in the bitter days that are coming after Christmas; more courage to wage the battle against poverty and despair. Who knows but that one of those families you are helping and going to save to the community may shelter a future President, a great artist, a coming preacher, whose words will move mankind? In this day of cold, think of those families among the thirty who have not yet had any help, or little compared to some of the others. Most of the contributions have been made to the families for whom The Eagle has made a special appeal, but there are others just as worthy. Need Food, Rent, Clothing. There is, for instance.

Case No. 2, St. Vincent de Paul Society's case, which merits special consideration. It Is very cold, bleak and oisheartening today in the home of John Luchia. Let it not last over Christmas, kind friends and neighbors.

The chief trouble here Is the father's illness. Perhaps some of you Know what it means to have the breadwin ner sick at Christmas. Now, John has teen attending a hospital clinic and they say at the clinic that he must have institutional care. The man knows that the welfare of the family depends on what he earns, and while his strength holds out he doesn't want to go for he loves them Just as dearly as you love your little brood. There ore a wife and five children to consider.

The youngest is a toddler of six months, the eldest only 8. With John out of the reckoning the whole burden would fall on the shoulders of the devoted mother. What is the report on the worthiness of this family? "They bear an excellent reputation; the parents are sober, industrious, devoted to their children." Shall this family be split apart for lack of support or shall they be kept together? You answer. Father of Seven Children 111. Another picture on the screen, Case No.

10, A. I. C. P. John Maxwell, the father, unskilled laborer, had no reserve fund to draw on when he became 111.

Illness that's the chief mischief which brings so much trouble to prowl under the roof of these poor, seeking whom it may lay low. Seven children here, all under 1 5, future citizens of the land of opportunity. How muc'i opportunity there shall be. for tltPHe children depends on those who will make It possible to save a promising family. is in the hospital fretting over the small flock at home.

His recovery would be hastened if he knew that they were provided for until he gets out and is able to work. Maxwell is in the hospital. The mother cannot work. Her health has been impaired by worry and undernourishment. They are living on $5 a week no more and they need food, rent and clothing.

Each contribution sent to The Eagle Christmus Fund for Case No. 10 will buy some of that. Hasten that relief if you will and Merry Christmas to you for It. Now take Case No. 2I, that of the Bush family.

Father died of heart I failure. A devoted wife left heartbroken, penniless, on the shlfling sands nf life. Seven young ones looking toj her for support and an eighth ex. pected. Mrs.

Not a I crust. Mr. Kindheart, If you had been there you would have returned yth empty pockets, for no one lives with a human heart who Is proof against the walling of hungry children.

Williams, president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association, 1o-dny called upon nil members of the orgnnizationas well as publishers generally, to use tlulr efforts 1o drfent House Hill No. (1508 on the ground that "no such mischievous Interference with press freedom hn.i ever before been seriously proposed In this country." "The bill," said Mr. Williams in statement, "prohibits publication In newspapers of any news likely to lead to gambling. Ostensibly aimed at racing news, it would be equally npplicn-ble to a large quantity or varh-ty of financial and other news, such as reports of bank clenrings, which have been gambled on In many cities. Th unprecedented censorship Involved by the bill itself is more than warrnnt for Its defeat.

It Is pointed out that it would outlaw even the publication of baseball scores." THE NEW BUILDING 3 M. -NO'lKli TO CU.t'i'KAC'lOHS. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BlDDKR?
