as follows: “Among the places where

with fire-escapes. , I believe that the

I agreed with him that this should be
done. Two years ago at microcosm of

lieved to be dead. as a result of an
eitploslon in the new slope of the Has-
tings Mine of the Victor American
Fuel Company, shortly after midnight.
Another miner. badly injured. has
been rescued. The mine is sixteen
miles north of Trinidad.
The main slope is badly caved and
rescuers have been able to make but
little headway. 'Rescue equipment is
being rushed to the scene.
The mine officials believe the explo-
ston was caused by a “windy shot"
which set off a quantity of gas. The
14 men who were in the night shift
were shot ilrers and entry men. A
large force of rescuers from adjoining

Tomorrow night when the annual
meeting of the Center School District
is held within the familiar old build-

that there will surely be something
worth bowing in the course of the
meeting. and many. who are not mém
here or residents in the district are
planning to attend the session to see
what is in store for them in the way
of amusement.
Clause No. .3 of the purpose of the
meeting is interesting many. and it
should do so. for therein lies, one of
the attractive features for discussion.
it reads as follows:
“3. If deemed advisable to author-
ize and empower the district commit-
tee to employ a principal for said
school tor the ensuing year, and to ap-
propriate from the treasury of said
district whatever money may be
necessary to pay the salary of such
principal.”

SPECIAL TAXES ‘

——
a
Robert O. Eaton, collector of .ln
ternal revenue for the District of
Connecticut (Connecticut and Rhode
Island) has been notified by the
commissioner of internal revenue
that. unless special taxpayers who
are to continue in business on and
after July 1. 1912, procure their
special tax stamps and have them
posted as required by law, on that
date, they must be reported to the
United States district attorney for his
action.
Heretofore. in some instances, pay.
ment [has been delayed and business
has been carried on for almost the
entire month of July without having
paid the tax or posting the required
stamp. Section 3239 R. S. provides a
penalty for negligence of this kind,
equal to the special tax for which
taxpayer is liable. and the costs of
prosecution. lithe failure to com.
ply with the law is due to wilful neg-
lect or refusal. then the penalty shall
be double the amount above prescrib~
ed. For carrying on business even
for one day. without the proper tax
stamp the fine Is not less than $100
nor more than $5,000 and imprison-
ment for not less than 30 days nor
more than two years.
There are over 6,000 special tax
payers in this district. The month of
June is half over and probably not
more than oneelghth of the total
uum‘benvhnvo paid the tax to date. Pet'-
sons who intend to continue in busi-
ness during the coming fiscal year
should obtain their stamps on early
as possible, in order to avoid the
rush and delay at the close of the
month. .
Deputy Collector J. w. Ambler will
be at his office in the poetroffice
Bridgeport, June 20 and every day
thereafter during the month of June.
Every special tax should be paid be
fore the close of business June 29, in
order to avoid the penalties preachin-
ed 'by law
