INCOME TAX RECEIPTS bday is Last Day for Filing Returns During the first thirteen days of March, income tax collections at the internal revenue offices in the Federal building were more than $200,000 In excess of receipts for the same period of 1922, according to Collector D. W. Phillips. The augmented forces at the offices are putting in extra time for the accommodation of the public during the week. The offices will remain open tonight until 9 o'clock.

This is the last day for filing individual returns, without a penalty. Failure to make returns before the close of business today will result in delinquents being liable to pay an additional twenty five per cent of the tax due. For false, or fraudulent returns the penalty is not exceeding $10,000, or not exceeding one year's imprisonment, or both, at the discretion of the court, and in addition, fifty per cent on the tax evaded.

Protest on the part of the Council of Church Women against the procedure which has been followed by t'ie cit authorities in merely fining women arrested in alleged disorderly house raids, allowing them to go free upon payment of $50 or $15, is bearing fruit. Four of six women taken into custody In Tuesday's drive on charges of keeping the houses visited were held in $300 bail for court when they appeared before Magistrate P. J. McNamara yesterday afternoon.

Sent tetter to Mayor This action is In line with the suggestions understood to have been mad to Mayor Joflin Durkan by the Council of Church Women, which sent the mayor a letter asking him to take some steps to cope with the vice situation in the oity. The raids on Tuesday followed receipt of the Council's letter, in which Mayor Durkan was advised that unless the city authorities took action the organization would be compelled to do so. Following the arrest of the twenty women taken in the raids, they were docketed at headquarters and wer later released on deposits of $50 and $15, latter amount being furnished by the inmates. Only three of the six women were on hand When their cases SQUARE DEAL FOR ST0EHR FISTER President Collins of Central City Realty Association Says They Will Insist Upon That STAND BEHIND THE FIRM Representatives of Association Will Seek a Conference With Mayor Durkan Today Full support at the Central City Realty Association, In lhioh every prominent mercantile establishment ir. the city is represented, will be given the firm of Stoehr Fister In their efforts to secure what they consider an equitable adjustment on the question of valuation on their new building.

Announcement to this effect was made yesterday by John J. Collins, president of the association, following a meeting of the board of directors. G. D. Stoehr and H.

R. Fister, members of the firm had previously acquainted the officers of the organization with the results of their conference at City Hall on Tuesday with Mayor John Durkan and John'H. Jordan, chairman of the board of assessors. Want Old Custom followed The association is to insist that the new building be unassesssed for oitv taxation purposes until January, 1924 on the ground that never in the last tihirty years Jias a tax been collected on any building which was not completed within sixty days from the time the annual assessment was completed. Representatives of the realty association will seek a conference with Mayor Durkan today and, according to Mr.

Collins, will ask only that the Stoehr Fister firm "be given a square deal." "These men have erected a buildlnf that is a monument to themselves and to the city," he a.id. "They will not be able to occupy it for business purposes until probably June or July, and we believe that the custom which has been In effect here for tS.rty years or more Should be followed in this case.

Nealon, representative of the organization will try to arrange a meeting with the mayor and his board of assessors today, and If no satisfaction Is secured there, Mr.

Barr, Allegheny, and Charles Steele, Northum berland, advocated passage of the bill from the floor. Led right Against Bill Horace W. Sdhiants, Lehigh, led th? fight against the measure and was supported by W. E. Vare, Philadelphia Augustus Diax, Philadelphia, and A.

Sisson, Brie. The Democratic minority made passage of the bill oeitain. Four of the five Democrats in their seats cast the! votes for the measuM, with only one in the negative. Of the absentees, Sones Lycoming, was listed for the bill, anj DeWltt, Luzerne, against It. Twenty six Republicans voted for and thirteen against the measure.

Senator Snyedr, Blair, led off for the proponents of the bill precisely at 10:30 o'clock. He devoted himself almost exclusively to the evils resulting from the preeant license system and declared that under the governor's measure the saloons will be driven from Pennsylvania for ever. "When Pinchot Bpoks during the campaign and pledged himself to drive the saloons out of Pennsylvania it was the voice of God speaking, and we should heed it," declared the Blair senator. Just before the oratory closed the debate came very near reaching the acrimonious stage. Senator Schantz, referring to a telegram that was read several days ago by Senator C.

M. Rtrr Allegheny, in which an Allegheny judge urged speedy action on the bill so that license court would not be delayed longer, said there was nothing to show that this was not a piece of proparanda. Senator Barr disputed this statement and read the original telegram, and while on his feet declared that Senators Vare, Schantx and Daix had all pledged themselves in the campaign to support the governor' campaign. Senator Vare rose to a question of personal privilege, but Barr refused to yield. Senator Barr also charged that when the governor opened his campaign In Lehigh county he was warned by Senators Schantx and others not to mention the 'wet" and question but that he refused to heed their advice and delivered the greatest dry apeech of his campaign.

1 Stood By Ids Statement. Senator Schanti, In reply, said he stood by his statement concerning the telegram and said there was nothing to show that the Allegheny senator had not sent the message to himself." Referring to the Lehigh county matter, Mr. Schefnts said that on Mie day Mr. Pinchot visited that county he, the governor and the latter secretary met in his office and that no mention wbs made of the "wet)" or "dry" "After the address," continued Mr. Schantt.

"1 told the governor that 1 believed he had made a mistake. The truth of my assertion waa shown In the vote. I carried the county by more than 1,700 votes and the governor lost it by 801." Senator Eyre, who is president pro tern of the senate, voted for the bill. He admonished Senator Barr severely for his statement concerning Senator Vare'a alleged pledge to the governor 1n the campaign to support his program relative to enforcement of the prohibition laws. "I waa present when this matter was discussed," said Mr.

Eyre, "and In a spirit of fairness to my colleague from Philadelphia. I want to tell Just what happened. Mr. Vare was very explicit in telling the governor that he would not pledge himself to his enforcement measure and likewise Informed him that the attitude of other Philadelphia members would be a matter for each individual mifciher to decide." Practically all of the members who urged passage of the bill stressed the necessity of upholding the constitu tion of the United States and the American flag. Senator Kyre said two years ago he voted for the Woner act, but sincerely believea that it does not meet the situation.

"I will vote for this measure," he said, "because ninety eight per cent, of my constituents are for it and I want to properly represent their thoughts." Menaoa to Society Senator Stltes declared that the liquor drinker Is more of a menace to society than the drug addict. "The latter," he went on, "after getting a few shots climbs In some back window and goes to bed. Not so with the man who poisons himself by drinking too much alcohol. He leaves his country club or favorite roadhouse, jumps into his automobile, sits at the wheel and goes careening down the street at sixty miles an hour, a menace to the life of every man in the community. Senator McDade, Delaware, at whose instance the amendments were Insert, ed yesterday, declared that he favora the bill because he believes it la for the best interests of the people of Pennsylvania, "if we pass this bill," he went on, "Pennsylvania will lead and others will follow her.

I was absolutely alncere In my efforts to have the bill amended and I believe the amendments clarify the mooted points in the bill." Senator Schantx devoted his attack on the bill exclusively to his provisions. He started out by saying he favorg law enforcement. "This bill," he said, "will not drive the saloons out of Pennsylvania but rather is an Incentive to make thorn grow. It abolishes the license system but not the paloon. It leta the saloon do business without paying the $4,500,000 revenue now paid and which will be wiped out this bill passes.

If you want to abolish the saloon in Pennsylvania I would ask that you to pass a law prohibiting absolutely the manufacture of beverages containing any alcoholic content." Charge Schauta Kakei Under the search and seizure clause, which permits private homes to be searched only when there is evidence of a sale, Mr. Schantz said there is nothing to prevent any home owner from being his own brewer with absolutely immunity from the Pennsylvania law, despite the fact that the national amendment specifically prohibits the manufacture of intoxicating liquors.

"The act is inconctetent and discriminatory," he went on. "It permits home owners to make cider and wine for their own use but does not allow the home owner to sell these supposedly non lntoxioating beverages. I ask you why was that amendment put in the bill and why If the bill follows the course of the Volstead act was not the section under which search warrants are issued so drawn and to permit judges of our common pleas and oyer and terminer courts to Issue search warrants." "This bill goes fifty fifty with the United States constitution. It Is half wet and half dry or better still, half horse and half alligator." Following the passage of the bill.
