Attendance This Year as Registered by Machines Was 142,746 Total Receipts of Fair From All Sources, $81,109.50. Indianapolis. Final figures of attendance and gate receipts at tho 1911 state fair indicates that the officiate made errors la computing the attondnaco last year. At the office of Charles Downing, secretary of tho state board of agriculture. It was said daily computations wero made of tho attendance afiuros. This year the attendance was registered by machines and the actual attendance was 142.74G. or approximately 9.500 more than the figures show for last year. But tho 1111 gate receipts were $55.375.60. or 55.690 less than the receipts for last year. The computations last year were made daily by Jasper La Grange, treasurer of the fair. Mr. Downing said that, in view of the accurate records of this year, it was evident that an error had been made in compaUng the atendance a year ago. and fewer people were reported than actually visited the grounds. The turnstiles Installed this year will be rotained. and from this year on tho figures will be accurate. Tho total receipts of the fair this year from all sources were JS 1.1 09. 50. The total expenses have not been computed, but Mr. Downing said the oxpenses of the fair would bo less than the receipts. Improvements, such as a water system and the turnstilos, will more than eat up the balance, he said.

Escape Tax Law Penalties.
Several Indiana corporations which hare failed to pay the federal corporation tax will not be forced to pay the penalty ranging from 51,000 to $10.000 as provided by the law. The internal revenue collectors of the state have been notified to arrange for the compromises with the delinquent corporations. It is stated, however, that no amount less than ten dollars is to be accepted as a compromise, and It Is believed that tho effect of the notice will result in many settlements at that amount. The compromises will not be made by the revenue officials. Instead, the sum of ten dollars will be forwarded to the treasury department In Instances where corporations pay the amount. The adequacy of the amount will be determined by the department.
