HOUE Of THE GOVEOUT WAS flCHJCBEASED Receipts for First Year of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Measure Show an Increase of $75,000,000. ADMINISTRATION IS FILLED WITH PRIDE

Surplus of $20,000,000 Remains on Hand After the Ordinary Expenses of Government Were Paid. Washington, Aug. O. At a revenue producer the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill baa given entire satisfaction to the Ad ministration and the friends and ad vocates of the measure In the first .year of Its operation, which ended last Caturday. night. Acting Sec rata ry Hillls, of the Treas ury Department, has had prepared statement which shows that the ordinary receipts of the Government for the first full year of operation of the tariff act were nearly $13,000,000 more than the ordinary receipts dur ling the fiscal year of 11KJ7. which was 'the banner year for the Treasury De partment In point of receipts. The total for this year was $;i'a,12.",uro.uu, and exceeded the receipts for any other 5ir by almost $(JO,0O0.0o& .:. Is therefore pointed out that the i . jlpts of the Government under the lirst year of the operation of the rayne-Aldrlch law are nearly 175,000,OOO greater than in any other previous -year In the history of the Government, rwlth the exception of the year 1907. ; Surplus of $20,000,000. ' Mr. Hilliss statement calls attention to the fact that whereas there was a deficit Of S5S.734.9a5 in the ordinary operations of the Government in the fiscal year ending Jane 30. 1009. there vu t surplus la the. year ending Augvat 6 of something more than $20. oo.ooa There is a slight Variation between the conditions for the last fiscal year under the Dlngley law and the first actual year under the Payne-Aldrlch law, by reason of the fact that there were 35 days following July 1, 1904, when, in anticipation of Increased duties nnder the new law. there was a rush of Importations affected, which Increased the total for the month of July, 1909, by something like $5,000.000, and which correspondingly operated to the disadvantage of the present law. Notwithstanding that fact, however, the total receipts from customs for the first actual year of the new law were $329,117,208.11, as against $300,711,000 In round numbers for the fiscal year of 1909. $286,113,000 for the year 1908. $332,232,000 for 1907 and 1300,251.000. for 1906. Treasury Chiefs Pleased. The HUlls statement shows that In addition to the amount derived from customs, which, as stated, was $329,117.208.11, the other receipts were; Internal revenue, ordinary, $271,120,342.10; internal revenue corporation tax, $27,090,934.18. and miscellaneous, $31,252,531.62, making a total of $678.850,816.01 as the ordinary receipts of the government for the first year of the operation of the tariff law, or from August 6, 1909, to August 6. 1910. During that time the ordinary disbursements of the Government were fC5S.266.7S7.02. thus leaving a surplus f ordinary receipts over ordinary disbursements during the first year of the operation of the law of $20,214.028.90. This showing is highly satisfactory to the Treasury officials, and attention is called to the fact that the revenue derived fronf the corporation tax feature of the tariff bill was $27,090.934. a sum only $207,000 less than the amount assessed. While the receipts from customs during the first year of the operation cf the present law were greater than In any year with the exception of 1907. the greater showing of Government receipts during that time is only In part due to the Payne-Aldrich bill, a fact to which particular attention is not directed in the statement of Secretary Hillls.

Superintendent Mott and the Richmond Art association desire that the building be dedicated at the time of the opening of the annual art exhibit, making both events co-ordinate and thus adding interest to both.

Mott to Decide It. Prof. Mott could not be found today but a member of the school board said the matter had not been definitely decided upon.

Gallagher, aged fifty-eight. ; "He took my bread and butter away from me" shouted Gallagher whan .turned over to an officer on the pier, by street commissioner Edwards, who Gallagher had slightly wounded. The bullet entered Gaynor's neck behind the right ear, traveled slightly upward, passing through the mastoid, struck the right jaw and was deflected Inward. Gaynor was rushed to St. Mary's hospital. Hoboken. where surgeons Immediately probed for the bullet, but up to one o'clock they had been unable to locate it.

Had Caused Suspicion. Jules James Gallagher, who fired the shot had been employed as night watchman by the department of docks since i;03. He was discharged a few weeks ago to decrease the excessive staff of employes. Since his discharge Gallagher had written threatening letters to the mayor almost daily and caused suspicion by hanging around the city 'hall, his right hand constantly m his pocket. Gallagher did not know Gaynor personally but after his arrest he stated that revenge for the loss of ""his bread and butter" was the motive for the crime. He admitted he went to the steamer with the intention of putting Gaynor out of the business" because he couldn't stand to see Gaynor go off to Europe on a - vacation while he (Gallagher) was out of a job because of, Gaynor's administration. .Gallagher, though shabbily dressed, took his place amongst the first class passengers on the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, having read in the papers that Gaynor would sail this morning for Europe "Big Bill" Fights Him. While Gaynor was chatting with friends and his family near the companion-way of the steamer, Gallagher secured his position within a few feet of the mayor, pulled a gun and blazed away. Street , Commissioner "Big Bill" Edwards was at Gaynor's side and leaped at Gallagher just after the first shot was fired. Edwards received a second bullet in the arm, causing but a slight wound. Edwards gave Gallagher a severe pummeling and others were attempting to help him punish Gallagher when Edwards turned and defended his prisoner, begging the crowd to let the law takev Its course. Gallagher was a widower and lived at a boarding house where he was often heard to complain of losing his political job because Gaynor was elected. Gallagher is held awaiting the outcome of Gaynor's wounds. Was Talking to MontL Mayor Gaynor was on the, port side of the steamer. ne?.r the companion, way, where he had stopped to talk with President Montt of Chili, when Shot. He was surrounded by members of his family and friends wishing to see him off on his vacation trip. Among the latter was William Edwards, street cleaning commissioner of New York, who " told the following story of the shooting: ' "We were chatting about various things.: The mayor was in an unusually good humor. He ,was joking about the weather, saying that It was his luck that the rain had stopped during the night. "I ' stepped to the outside of the group as others began to come np to shake the mayor's hand, and as I did so 1 noticed Gallagher over near the rail at the side of the ship. I didn't take much notice of him. but remember now that he had a fixed gaze on the mayor. . "I did not consider this strange s nearly everybody there was also looking at Gaynor and waiting an opportunity to grasp his hand. So I turned to look out , over the bow of the ship and then looked around again ccrer to where Gallagher was standing. I terrified at Sight, t T was - horrified - fo s had drawn a pistol and was levelling It fa line with the mayor's head. "He fired 'fust as t shouted . tad made a leap for hint The ballet had hardly left the pistol before I was on top of him.
