He shouted to A, J. Bordeau who lives on the second floor of the house next to the garage and the young men, alarmed by his call, jumped through the win- dow through which they had galned access and running up Hough street made good their escape. Mr. Bordeau and Mr. Madely noti- fled Dennis Herlehy, proprietor, who arrived on the scenc shortly and af- ter a hasty examination found that the only article missing was the key to the cash register. Judging by marks found on the sill of the window the men had first tried to “jimmy"” the window up but had failed. While other articles of value such as tools and tires, were in «the place no attempt had been made to take them, It is the custom of the cashier to leave ,the cash register open after counting the money and as a general rule, as was the case last night, only a few pennies were in the drawer. These were not taken. While no clues have as yet been obtained it is the opinion of the proprictor that local young men werc connected with the affair. Red Cross Drive Started It was announced this morning that official notice had been received by the local chapter of the American Red Cross to start a drive for funds for the relief of the Japanese. Letters in regard to the drive will be sent to the churches and organi- zations and attempts will be made to have posters displayed in the fac- tories, \ The committee in charge of the drive emphésizes the great need of the Japanese at’the present time and to impress on the people the splendid spirit of the Japanese at the time of the San Francisco disaster when they subscribed over half the entire for- eign donation. All contributions will be voluntary and no soliciting will be carried on, All checks should be made payable to Miss Sadie L. Wheeler, treasurer of the chapter. ‘The campaign will be continued for one week at the end of which it is expected that Plainville " will have reached its quota. 2 The following communication signed by John E. Lamb is issued to the people of Plainville by the Red Cross: “The greatest disaster of modern times has fallen swiftly upon a large section of the Japanese nation. Earth- quake and fire have destroyed their homes and stores, obliterated their communication and transportation and left the Iliving helpless in a scarred and seared land. They are left in stark need and unless relief in tremendous volume is hurried to them they must perish, by thousands ftom hunger, thirst and sickness. “The task of succoring them is so tremendous that it becomes the world’s task, in which the United States, endowed with plenty, quickly should do her full share. “Answering the urgent call to our common humanity President Cool- idge promptly tendered to the strick- en people of Japan the aid of his countrymen and designated the Am- erican Red Cross as the agency through which their help shall go. “The American Red Cross appeals to the people of the town of Plain- ville for their help and it is their hope that the response will be typi- cal of the generosity which has al- ways been characteristic of our town. It is time of grim need when every cent will count in saving lives.” Injured at Standard Steel Plant George Caron of Bank street is con- fined to his home with a badly in- jured right foot as the result of hav- ing a steel shaft fall on it at the plant of the Standard Steel and Bear- ing Co.

Less Than Preceding Year BY GEORGE I, MANNING (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald), Washington, D, C, Sept, ternal revenue collections in the Con- necticut district in the flscal year ended June 30 amounted to $35,117,- 676,10, thirty per cent less than In the year ended June 30, 1 q;', Re- ceipts for the entire United States showed a decrcase of 18 per cent for the year. Income and profits taxes collected in Connecticut in the year just passed, which included the third and fourth ipstallments of the 1921 tax and the first and second installments of the 1922 tax, amounted to $26,181,076.52, or about 70 per cent of the total. This was a decline of cight per cent from the amount of income and profit tax collected in the preceding year, and only slightly more than half the amount received in the fiscal year 1921 for the last half of 1919 and the first half 0(3920. The total collections of internal revenue from all sources for the fiscal year 1923, according to the report of Commissioner David H. Blair to Sec- retary Mellon, were $2,621,745,227.57, against $3,197,451,083.00 in the fiscal year 1922, A total of $123,9992,820.- 95 was refunded during the past fiscal year for taxes illegally collected in prior years. Income and profits tax collections fell from $2,086,918,464.85 in 1922 to $1,680,177,409.38 last year. The de- crease is due principally, according to Commissioner Blair, to the depres- sion of business in 1921 and to some extent to changes in the law. Revenues from all other sources decreased from $1,110,532,618.15 to $932,567,818.19. The loss of revenue due to the repeal of the transporta- tion taxes, insurance, and*various ex- cise taxes, was materially offset by the increased revenue for 1923 from tobacco manufactures and from au- tomobiles, the report states.
