This delay has caused many anxious persons to add further discomfort to the labor-ridden clerks, by calling up over the telephone and asking why they have not received a receipt for their taxes which they paid by mall several days ago.

Chief Deputy Moltsen said last night that the total amount collected could not be exactly ascertained for several weeks, but that It approximated 1 1,000, 000. Thla, of course, is in taxes paid by taxpayers who are entitled to the re bate. . Others will pay their taxes by April 1, when It is expected that a mini mum delinquent tax will be reached.

Dtapatcfc tm The iee-Ml.) Tacoma, Waah., March 10. The Ta. coma city council Is afraid to tackle the whlakymen here and rather than take Issue with the liquor power It prefers to repudiate Its own ordinance, paased several weeks ago. While Mayor Wright's administra tion has shut un the town as tight as a jug on Sundays and forced a purl- lanicei ooservance ox me eaoDatn, when it comes to prosecutions, he is unabls to secure convictions. By almost unanimous vote the city council . last night . dismissed the charges against certain saloonkeepers for slleged violation of tha law gov. rn in g the sale of intoxicants. The police had Collected evidence against nine different saloonkeepers who had. It Is said, persistently violated the re oent ordinance passed by the so-called reform council. , The first case tried was that of a Bismarck saloonkeeper. A dosen wit nesses testified he had. flagrantly vio lated the law by selling liquor to ml. nors. When it came to a showdown the men who passed the ordinance were afraid to act and revoke the Heenses, which Is the penalty .Imposed by the ordinance. Two other eases were also tried before the council sitting as an - investigating body, and after they had voted almost unanimously to dismiss the chargea the city attorney refused to bring charges against other saloonmen accused. The nearness of the spring election accounts for this action of the council. Many ef the members are candidates . for re election and fear to antagonise the liquor men. . LIDDED MEN RETALIATE , . .

Russell of the Seattle, legitimate houses, and ths following vaudeville managers; " John-Pennatan, Arex Pan"-! tagea, Nat . Relaa, Tom Consldlne and R. T. Shannon. . ' Tha theaters were not included in Mayor Moore's original ordsr for Sun day observance and when the saloon keepers failed to secure tha enactment of a more liberal Sunday law in the re oeat' legislature they adopted a 'plan- to make the law generally burdensome, not losing confidence from the fact that In tha adjoining county of Pierce a .sim ilar more against the theatrical men failed, the latter winning the decision. Should the. saloonmen win now they will proceed against the cigar dealers and others. . HMewMM '' NEWSPAPER MAN'S JURY Half-Doxen of Them at SeatUe Find ; Steve Regglo Guilty.
