BROKERS REPORT LARGEST INCOME
WASHINGTON, June 14 A larger proportion of brokers than of any other occupation class reported incomes of more than $3,000 in 1916, and farmers made proportionately the smaller number of returns, it was shown today in an analysis of income tax returns for 1916. One out of every five brokers made returns, but only one in 400 farmers. Nearly onefifth of all lawyers and judges made returns. Teachers, actors, musicians, preachers and saloon keepers were among the classes of which few made incomes of more than $3,000. These reports are not considered dependable guides to actual incomes officials say, since they are based only on returns fled and the reason of such a poor showing by some classes is the neglect of members to make returns. Under the old income tax law applying to 1916 incomes only persons making more than $3,000 were required to make returns, and married men or heads of families were required to pay taxes on earning of more than $4,000.
United States Blamed by Enemy for Costa Rica's War Declaration
(By Associated Press) AMSTERDAM, June 14. The United States is blamed for Costa Rica's declaration of war against Germany, by the Koelnische Volkszeitung, which says: President Wilson will find that at the final settlement the votes will not
j be counted, but weighed, and Costa
Rica will have to account to us for all material damages, even when full allowance is made for its dependence on the United States. "With some more backbone, Costa Rica could have resisted America's brutal pressure, as San Salvador has done up to this time, although San Salvador Is only one-third of Costa Rica's size. The Costa Rican congress declared war on Germany on May 25, 1916. The present Costa Rican government, headed by President Tinoco, has never been given official recognition by the American government, despite attempts to gain such recognition.

SWEDEN IS REFUSED GRAIN FROM UKRAINE
STOCKHOLM, Thursday, June 13 Swedish foreign minister, answering an interpellation in the Rikesdag, today regarding steps taken to' secure grain for Sweden from Ukraine or Siberia, said that an investigation of the situation bad been ordered last January and had been conducted zealously. There was no doubt, he said, that there was a large surplus of grain In Ukraine, but it was mainly in the bands of small peasants, who had concealed it and refused to sell for money, as they desired agricultural
machinery and other articles in exchange. The Ukranian government, further had promised its surplus to the central powers, and the central powers in response to the Swedish government's inquiry, had declared themselves unable to permit any to go to Sweden. Owing to the inability of the Ukrainian authorities to have their crders obeyed, however, the central powers had been unable as yet to get enough for their own need3. "The Russian government, continued the foreign minister, had offered Sweden 50,000 in Siberia, on condition that an equal quantity should be transported to Archangel for the Russian acount. But it had been found impossible to obtain the needed tonnage, as Swedish shipowners refused to risk their ships In northern waters.
