Mr. Adams presented tho order y to Mr. lecgan and immediately took over control. Mr. Mackay was not In tho of-fl- at tho time. An announcement by tho Post Of- fice Department say that tho order removing Messrs. Mackay, Cook and Deogan from tho operation of tho Postal Company's land lines under Government control \was mado necessary by the fact that since tho Post Offlco Department refused to grant tho company ho compensation askd lor by thorn, these officials lmvo refused or failed u follow out tho Instructions of tho dt artmcnt In tho management of thj properties; mid failed to put Into operation promptly tho wage schedule and tho eight-ho- ur day; and In various ways en- deavored to embarrass and discredit tho Government operation of the wires. \Tho reason for the refusal of the department to grant tho coinpc mu- tton asked for wus that tho sworn stutament. submitted lo tho Inter- state Commerce Commission In lf of tho company placed the nut lncomo for 1917 at tl7.?C4, while Un- sworn statements they mado to the wire control board us a basis for compensation placed tho net income for tho same year at 1 1. 485,593. 31.

WASHINGTON. March 2i Collec- - tlons from the first quarterly instal- ment of Income and profit taxes duo Inst Saturday nmounted to J 1.001.244.-00- 0 in r.3 nf tho C4 collection dis- tricts, Internal Rovcnuo Commis- sion Itoper announced Tills flguro probably will bo In- creased by Inter returns, slnre some revenue collectors lmvo not yet re ported their final tabulations. This Is mom than tho Treasury had expected from this Instalment pay- ment and without a complete analysis ofllcinls believe it is accounted for by tho fact thnt many citizens paid their tax In full Instead of Inking ad- vantage of tho Instalment privilege. An nxnmlnutlon of records will be undertaken later to ascertain whether tho total yield from Income and pro- fits taxes exceeds tho preliminary estlmntrs of npptoxlmatclv $1,000,-000.00- 0. Indications on tho face of reports were that estimates mado at tho time of enactment of the Itevenue Hill were fairly accurate. Tho Second New York District re- ported $145,551,000, the biggest col- lections of any district, and tho Third Massachusetts, with $75,203,000, was second. Tho First Illinois, Including Chicago, reported Incompleto returns nf $72,089,000. The Twenty-thir- d. Pennsylvania, had $51,315,000, All but live districts showed decided Incretise-- s over tho 25 per cent, of last year's Income tax collection. Tho ex- ceptions were Minnesota, Now Mex-Ic- Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and West Virginia. On tho twists of last year's collections, Minnesota quar- terly dooslts should have been about $15,000,000, but thoy were only 0. Philadelphia should have been $41,000,000, but were $38,000,000. while West Virginia, whloh should have been $11,000,000, wore only Pittsburgh, on tho same ba- sis, should have collected ISO.OOO.OfW. although iietu.il collisions were onlv $51,000,000. Itevenue olllolaU lirlievo that llnal reports will put all districts ahead of their 25 per rent, records last yo.tr except Pittsburgh. In that district many steel companies, which paid their ion nl Pittsburgh last jc.ir pinb. ably lild this year In the Now VoiU district- - The New Mexico district does nut expect to complete tabulation lor two or three weeks.
