Tills Is a scant $49,000 under the total collection of last year which was $001.870. When Miss Caldwell attempted to close her books a week ago, the total in hand was just a little more than $530,000. Checks and payments kept coming In, however, and, although pressed for time In which to complete preparations for a settlement with the county treasurer, Miss Caldwell took all offered. Entries Added. The result was that entriesTf approximately $23,000 were added to her books before she struck a final balance Sunday.

Crediting tardy payments after she had announced the closing of her office caused much work for the collector, but on every additional payment there was a 2-pcrcent fee for the city, and Miss Caldwell and her assistants put In evenings and Sunday to complete the book work and took care of all the money that caine in. The additional fee earned for the city was $460. On the basis of the collection figure reported to Treasurer Balrd yesterday by the collector, Alton's total 2-percent fee for making the collection will be $11,060, hi round figures only $1000 less than last year's fee. Late Payments. Checks were still arriving by mall Monday when Caldwell took her books to EdwardsvlDe and filed delinquent lists in the county treasurer's office.

Today, there was more mall containing checks fo rtax payments. They are too late to be Included In the settlement, but Miss Caldwell said today she would send the tardy payments now In hand to the county treasurer under an arrangement Mr. Balrd has set up so that credit for them will be given there. Will Accept Personals. In discussing the completion of her work as city treasurer today, Miss Caldwell made It clear that she can accept no additional payments of real estate taxes.

She will, however, accept delinquent personal tax payments, and for this purpose will be In the city treasurer's office for the next few days. There has been no decision as yet on whether there will be any further attempt to collect taxes here by having the new treasurer, Leo J. Strulf, bring back the tax books from Edwardsville. The large collection already achieved leaves doubt whether It will be worth while to attempt reopening the books here, Treasurer Struif said. Meantime, any real estate payments must go to the county treasurer's office.

Second Installments on realty taxes do not become delinquent until July. House Committee Closes Hearings on Cash Bonus Bill To Plan Measure Behind Closed Patman Clash WASHINGTON, May 3, House ways and means committee today closed all hearings on cash payment of the soldiers' bonus and will meet behind closed doors Thursday to begin consideration of the $2,000,000,000 new money plan. WASHINGTON, May 3, bonus hearing was converted today Into a dispute over whether Secretary Mills had influenced the Incorporation of a provision in the tax bill under which the secretary of the treasury would profit by revaluation of his father's estate. Representative Patrnan, Democrat' Texas, a leading advocate of full payment of the bonus, charged before the ways and means committee that the secretary would get millions and said the action would amount to an "Inside burglary of the treasury." Democrats and, Republicans on the committee came alike to the defense of Mills. Acting Crisp said the secretary to conwu.it on the provision because he would be a beneficiary under It.

Treadway, Republican, Massachusetts, Doughton, Democrat, North Carolina, and Chlndblom, Republican, Illinois, joined in behalf of the secretary. Patman was attempting to refute the arguments of Mills and Eugene Meyer, chairman of the Reserve Board, have made against the Issuance of two billion dollars of new currency to redeem the outstanding bonus certificates. He offered to modify his plan to provide for the Issuance of bonds which he said would control the expansion. Burned to Death by Kerotene. MINONK Mrs.

Read Tetofraph wtni Dally Says He Ts Victim Public Would Fight of CHICAGO, May 8, last obstacle to prevent the removal of "Scarface Al" Capone to a Federal penitentiary was removed today when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals vacated a writ of supersedeas which had held the big gangster In the county Jail while he appealed his conviction for evading Income taxes.

The Appellate Court vacated Its writ a few minutes after it had received a certificate copy of the United States Supreme Court's decision yesterday refusing to review Capone's case. A mittimus ordering the marshal to take Capone to prison was then made out and it was expected that he would be started for Leavenworth, within 24 hours. Marshal H. C. W.

Laubenhetmer kept his plans for the prison trip secret, saying he wanted no crowds or Interference. Capone, giving up hope at last, packed his belongings as soon as he had arisen in his cell at the county Jail. The gang leader has been In jail since Oct 24, 1831 when Federal Judge James H. Wllkerson sentenced him to years, fined him $50,000 and refused to grant ball. The time Capone has spent In Jail docs not apply to his long prison term.

Marshal Laubennelmer had 17 other Federal prisoners to be taken to Leavenworth and he said Capone would receive the same treatment en route as all of the other men. CHICAGO, May 3 UP) Jail days for Al Capone appear to be about over, with prison looming ahead, and Capone's not very happy about the prospect. Government officials were pre paring today to transfer him to a federal penitentiary to start him on his 11 year sentence for falling to pay the government Income tax on the enormous profits ne is reputed to have made on his gangland activities in Chicago. United States Marshal H. W.

C. Laubenheuner said last night following news that the United States Supreme Court had refused to Intervene In Capone's conviction that he was practically certain the gang chief would be taken to Leavenworth and not to Atlanta and that It was probable the trip would be started early tonight. Meanwhile the notorious Capone spoke his mind! "It's not fair," he Is reported to have said In his cell when news of the supreme court's action was received. "I'm victim of public clamor. My sentence should have been two and one-half years, Just because I went to a few baseball games they made it 11 years.

I'm still willing to fight it if my lawyers are with me." Scorns Newspaper Men. The short sentence Capone referred to, was reported to have been recommended by federal prosecutors in consideration of Capone's plea of guilty, which he subsequently withdrew when Judge James H. Wllkerson declined to be bound by any agreement. That was last summer. In October, Capone went on trial and was convicted.

Ever since then he has been held in the county Jail, while his attorneys have fought through the courts all the way to the highest in the land in an effort to set aside the conviction. Capone's mother was with him when the news came from Washington. He refused to see newspaper men, but jail attaches said he was furious. Selling Sprinkle Suffices to Keep Stocks on Decline Weakening of Dollar in Foreign Markets Is Observed NEW YORY, May 3 A sprinkle of selling was sufficient to keep the stock market still on the downgrade in another listless session today. Weakening of the dollar In the foreign exchange markets was one of the notable developments of the day In Wall Street, and was generally attributed in international banking quarters to the obstacles encountered in Washington In the way of budget balancing, and the passage by the House of the Goldsborough bill, directing the reserve system to endeavor to restore commodity prices through manipulation of credit and currency.

Stocks showed little change from recent sessions. Oils, and some of the leaders such as U. S. Steel and American Telephone, kept up well. The entire market rose a point or so in the first hour, but this was lost later, and a number of shares declined 2 to 3 points, Including American, j.
