With New ‘aork leading the Nation in Federal taxes, having paid one- fourth of the total internal revenue receipts for the fiscal - year ending June 30, Maryland and the District of Columbia continued ‘along with most of the States to inerease their contributions to - the - Federal till.

The net increase for the country for 1926 stood at $251,972,681.44. New York State's income tax rose from . 114,671.06 in 1926. Gained Nearly $2,000,000.

The amount paid by District of Co- lumbia income tax payers in 1925 was $14,430,215.22, but the District of Columbia. 1926 total has not yet been separated. Miscellaneous taxes fof the Mary- land collection district fell off slight- 1y during the same period, but the increase in income tax returns was 80 substantial as to show a substan- tial net increase for the year. Mis- cellanéous tixes for this collection district were $6,898,483.73 in 1926 and $6,616,370.42 for 1926. The 1926 tax cut law was signed February 26 of this year, in time for the reductions to become effective for the first income tax payment period March 15. There was some delay in the effective dates of various sections affecting miscellaneous taxes, but, generally speaking, it can be considered that the new tax bill was in operation for mearly half of the fiscal year 1926, as far as receipts are conoerned. The first two tax periods, March and June, of the calendar year, ‘which are the heaviest in re- ceipts, fell in the last half of the fiscal year, for which the report was just made public.

MALARIA GIVING WAY BEFORE MOSQUITQ WAR Buccess of Campaign in Palestine | ve Attributed to Extermination of Fever-Bearing Larvae. GENEVA, June 15 (Correspondence). ~—Malaria in the Holy Land is giving ‘way before onslaughts on the mos- quito. The malaria commission of the health organization of the League of Nations attributes the high degree of success in its antimalarial campaign in Palestine very largely to its efforts in_ exterminating the fever-bearing mosquito larvae. Swamp draining and olling and paris green have been the principal agents of death to the young wigglers in the intensive war which has been waged by the commission since 1918, when the malarial incidence, éven under normal circumstances bad enough, ran unusually high, due to the unsettied abnormal conditions brought about by the war. Quinine treatment of school children and & gereral return to more normal conditions have all contributed to the current decline of the disease, but anti-larval measures have been the chiet factors, according to the mala- rial commission's report to the League of Nations. The international health board of the Rockefeller Foundation and vari- ous Jewish organizations have been of great assistance in the general process of putting into practice the engineer- ing feat of ditching and vil Pales- tine, Prof. N.

Preliminary work in this connection already has begun, .he ‘maid, and negotiations now are being conducted with the Washington & Old Dominion Rallway with a view to altering the course of tracks now, blocking plans for eliminating several dangerous curves in the highway near Rosslyn. Would Abolish Grade Ci The roposed alteration uino woyld eliminate the grade crossing at Rosslyn and the viaduct just be- yond, Mr. Shirley indicated. It is presumed, therefore, that the plan calls for an exchange of rl:huli way at Rosslyn, the railway to enter its terminal over the present Lee | highway route and the boulevard to xconllmu on down to Rosslyn to the |south of the tracks, Detafls of the proposal were withheld, however, | pending negotiations. The State Highway Commission, Mr. Shirley sald, tnl-‘ that these fm- provements are vital importance to the citizens of Arllnnnn”CouMy and of other counties served by this highway, especlally n view of the constantly increasing bus traffic, The commission s incHned, conse- quently, to give this work prior at- tention, it was stated. Curves to Be Reduced. The Lee highway, upon leaving Rosslyn, enters upon a successlon of tortuous uphill curves through Park Lane, Lyon Village and Cherrydale, and numerous accidents of a serious nature have occutred on these winding inclines. The roadway, in addition, is not sufficiently banked at the turns to resist skidding when the surface is wet or i The Staté Highway Commission has studied the problem with great care, Mr. Shirléy said, and hopes soon to he able to abolish most of the hazards mentioned.

By the: Asaciated Press. July 10—Muti. neers in the mine of the Kansas peni- tentlary here capitulated early tonight and came to the surface. The convicts, who had remained in the mine since yesterday, defying prison officials, gave in without hav- ing gained their demands. ) Hunger and the futility of further resistance in the face of the stern at- titude adopted by Warden W. M. Mackey, supported by Gov. Ben S. Paulen, brought the collapse of the rebellion. The convicts released the cage in the mine shaft, which they had tied down yesterday, and were holsted up in groups of 12, Threatened to Wreck Mine. Shortly before they sent word over the “miné telephone that they were ready to surrender 4 threat had been made that the mine would be de stroyed. ‘Warden Mackey held firm, however, and warned that any damage to the mine ywould result in prosecutions on charges of destroying State property. W, Gleeson, one of the 13 guards who had been marooned in the mine with the prisoners, was the first officer to reach the top. He made a dash for the kitchen to obtain food. As the convicts reached the sur- face they were immediately marched to the “bathhouse. After bathing, the 375 prisoners were fed and Jocked up. ‘Warden Mackey said he would take no action against the men tonight, but that a thorough investigation would be conducted next week and the guilty men would be punished. ‘Wanted Demand Published. Spokesmen for the convicts today ‘made demands on Warden Mackey, including. _one that word of the granting of all demands be published in the newspapers under the picture and. signature of the governor. To these demands the governor turned a deaf ear, and left to War- den Mackey the policy of starving out the mutinous prisoners. The answer was communicated to the prisoners, who, after a short time, induced one of the 13 prison guards, captive with them in the mine, to telephone again to the warden, beg- ging the granting of the demands. Again the warden refused. The demands include: Liberation of men held for disturb- ance earlier in the week. Immunity for the present mutineers. Transfer of prisoners to a new cell- house. Three square meals a day. A copy of a newspaper with the ) dtory of their success to be dropped down the mine shaft. For reply’ Warden Mackey told the mutimous prisoners they could stay below ground just as long as they wished. Prison Life Undisturbed. Above ground prison life went on as usval today. 'If anything a little more quietly for the absence of 375 of the prison population of 1,753. The usual "Saturday afternoon ball game was played today and witnessed by prisoners. The mutineers were at the 730-foot level in the coal mines. where they blocked the hoisting cage with heavy timbers. After their demands had been first refused today, the mutineers told the warden that unless food was lowere to them before § o'clock tonight the: would butcher one of the 13 mules in the mine and barbecue it for their evening meal. The mine is equipped with an underground kitchen and din- ing room. far as prison officials know, no food except the mules is avallable to the mutineers. “Some of the mules have been in the mine for 15 years,” sald the warden, ‘“and I guess they will be pretty tough eating.” Alr was pumped to the mine from the surface during the mutiny. Prison officials say thiey could have obtained a quick surrender by stopping the fans, but. as this would have worked s much hardship on the hostage uards as on the men, they did not adopt the method.
