180,000 Rush On Last Day to Pay Income Tax One Hundred Clerks at the Cu8tom House Swamped as Third of 550.000 in Manhattan Make Keturn Corporations in Scramble Keceipts Can't Be Estimated; More Divide Payment*: I.ess Cash Than in llJ?.0 One-third of the 550.000 payers of in? come taxes in Manhattan, eitlver in per on or by mail, mr.de a rush on the ? uatom House yesterday to pay their 920 taxee before the time fixed for the imposition of ponalties. About 80 per cent of the 180.000 cor porations and individuals who walted until the last day to file their sworn schedules sent checks, money orders nnd cash through the mail. T"he result ? ns that. while the effiees of "Big Bill" i dwards, Collector of Internal Reve? nue, were jammed with persona eager to hand I'ncle Sam sums of money eiticing from a har.dful of ehange to thousands of dollars, the corridors of the building at Bowling Green w?re choked with mail bags literally bulging with wealth. ? Similar condition? existed in all the other Internal Revenue districts. Mr. Edwards refuaed to make any estimate . the gross amount of cash that would :ccrue to the government from the in- , tax this year. Bertram W. Gard- ! . collector in Brooklyn, however, licted that delinquents would be ?-.ver this year than formerly. He at . buted it to thj public's having be come more familiar with tbe income tnxation system. 100 Clerks Swamped Aided by 100 clerks loaned by the j Federal Reserve Bank, Mr. Edwards's ? ataff began to make inroaus on the long iini s of persons waiting to fill out their schedules soon after the offices opened, ? it until long after dark the crowds j increased faster than they were thinned . When Mr. Edwards closed his desk ( n'idnight he said it probably would! take a month to determine the exact nnber of persons in Manhattan who' ' led. lt was roughly estimatcd that at I east 60,000 would be added to last - year's figure of 600,000. Some queer conclusions were reached by the clerks as a result of an exam ination of the schedules iiled yesterday and during the last two weeks. They were that: More people are taking advantage of the privilege of dividing their tax into four quarterly payments instead of paying the full amount at once. Cash Keceipts May Be Smaller The actual cash inflow may be smaller this year than last, because of a de pression in business. The number of non-taxable rcturns is greatly in excess of last year, in spite of the fact that more persons are pay ?ng taxes. Waifera who are compelled to report! tips as income showed a more pros pcrous year that formerly. Some of im reported their aggregato tips to execed the salaries of clergymen and | bookkeepers. Artists, clergymen and literary men and women made schedules which ' neemed to indicate that their incomes were growing less. Women in filling out schedules ap- ! pear to make more mistakes than men. ; l'risoner Asks 'fihirty Days' Extension Among those who asked for a thirty | daya" extension of time, which the law ,-rai t.s in some cases, was a prisoner in ' the Tombs. On his npplication for an ; ? xtension was written "Thirty days ; ? , i anted." Mr. Edwarda said he expected to day's mail to be even heavier than yes- i terday's, because schedules mailed yes- ' terday, provided they are in envelopes postmarked before niidnight, will be re? ceived. Figures made public yesterday by State Comptroller James A. Wendell Bhow thal the total taxable income on 'ioO.OOO returns filed in payment of the '.10 state income tax approached $3 6(10,000,000. The tax on this was 1 per c-nt. ''These tigures tell the storv of a gol? den year in every business,'" said Mr Wendell. Conce-mng the incomes of clergymen gnd literary workers, the report says: "Income tax records show that among clergymen and in the literary profea Bion, salary advancea to meet tremen douB increasea wi the cost of living lailed to keep pace with salary jumps in other professions. The average net income of the clergy subject to tux after including as income the rental value of the parochial residence or par Honage, although owned by the church - id pnor to deducting the usual ex ' ptions, was $2,865, while the literarv iternit; showed an average of $3,685.'

Lured to Maiision, Forced to Write Check for $20,000 Kealty Dealer Says Two East Indians, Who Are Arrest-' ed, Were in Hold-Up Band in Luxurious Residence! Kassam Hasaim, twenty-six years i old, of 350 West Fifty-eighth Street, and George Cervantes, twenty- j two years old, of 452 West Forty- j third Street, East Indians, were held in 510,000 bail yesterday by Magis trate Corrigan, charged withAa daring j and unusual robbery practiced upon Ualph J. F. Gerstle, of 520 West 111th Street, a real estate dealer. The hold-up took place at 173 West Seventy-third Street, a luxur iously furnished residence, according to Gerstle. He declared he was lured to thic address last Saturday by a man who said his name was Stewart. Gerstle said he first met Stewart in I Staten Islnnd. where he diseussed with ' him the purchase of a hotel. The j price wns to have been $20,000, which ' sum Gerstle was to have with him and close the deal when they met later. Gerstle told the police that when he I went to the Seventy-third Street house he was ushered in by a butler whom he later identified as Cervantes. He went upstairs to what appeared to be a committee room with a large table and chairs ranged round it. Here | other thlngs that tend to hamper ofll cial Washington In Its work. The best date for an extra session would have been March 14, the professor said, and he wroto to tlje President to that effect, but his adviee was not hceded. Between 11 nnd 12 o'clock noon on Monday, Mr? Meyer says, there was a "Venus hour," which wouid have ln sured absoluie protoction against wa: had Congress assemliled then. But the precious sixty triinutea were frittereri away on the golf link* and now Con? gress wlll have to face the chanee of assembling during some hour dominnt ed by Mars or Saturn or some other malign star, which will make no end of international bother. Japan and Mexico, according to the horoacope, loom as the great potential trouble makers in the fall of 1921 or the spring of 1922. Woman'si Lucky Planet Ascends Women are also to obtain many im portant appointments from President Harding. The reason for such prog nostication is this: Venus rules the eleventh mansion, which governs womankind, nnd tho moon rules the sevonth mansion, which rules tne niasses. When those magic and fateful tiumbers, seven and eleven, thus exer cise their influence astrally, as well as where the cubs of ivory roll, it monns luck?-only in this instance, howevor, luck for women. Among the professor's general proph? ecies for spring, which seas;..i he snyr: begins, according to astral calculations, on Sunday, March 20, at 10:44 p. m., may be included: Saturn nnd Jupiter indiente anything but u love duo between capital and labor; high officials who have been grafting will grow absent-minded and be caught nvinus their alibis; somebody will start another march to the grass plot where Coxey's army broke ranks; indications in the flfth mansion. where stock market destinies are controlled, are that Wall Street is in for some rough riding; there will be floods and cave-ina to make the Bubway traveler realize that there are worso things than squeeze-ins; the prohibition movement will be a greater failure than cver, and rents are going to come down. The earthquakes will occur only in the West and Middle West, but the hoopskirts will be a general infliction, Mr. Meyer says, and such styles will be brought on by the criticism that is leveled at the present day short skirt. he was introduced to a third man, whose name was said to be Flood. Flood inquired, it was charged, if all was ready for business and when Gerstle replicd in the afflrmative he gave a signal upon which two men stepped from behind sliding panels in the room. They were masked, Gerstle says, and all in the room covered him with rcvolvcrs, demanding the $20,000 he was supposed to have with him. The men then forced Gerstle to sign a check for $20,000, he says. He was bound with a rope nnd nbanddned. Later he managed, to free himself nnd repoited the case* to the Sixty-eighth Street police station. The arrests fol lowed.

The Assembly to-morrow will pass the three Mullan Gage bills pfoviding for state dry en? forcement.

Bedtime Stories A Meeting in the Green Forest By ihornton W. Burgess 'Gainat tooth and claxo 77/ always ]>it A clever tongue and ready wit. ?Reddy Fox. Mrs. Buster Bear was not welcome in 'the Green Forest. Of this there cnulil he no doubt.,When Reddy Fox suggest ed that a meeting o( al! the little for? est people be called to see what could he done about it, Sainmy Juy and Blacky the Crow at once offered to in vite all the othcrs to attend. lt was agreed thut the meeting should be k; suil-up the next morning at a certain tall pine tree in the Green Forest close by the Laughing Brook, Sammy and Blacky at once started out to carry word of the meeting all through the Green Forest, over the Green Meadows, through the old Or chard and up to the Old Pasture. Bc fore^the day ended everybody knew of tho meeting and what it wu*"to bo for' "lt doesn t interest, me," said Danny Meadow Mouse when iu> heard of it. "Busbtr Bear doesn't hunt on the Green Meaiiow.s and Mrs. Buster isn't likely to, so why should 1 worry '.'" Nearly all the little people living on tlie Green Meadows felt the same way. Only Peter Rabbit, m tho dear Old Briar-patch, w;is interested. Nothing could have kept Peter from that meet? ing. Old Man Coyoto and old Granny Fox left the Old Pasture early to he on hand. Several of the little people of the old Orchard went just for,the ex citement. It really didn't make any dlffcrence to them how many bears chose to live in the Green Forest, but they didn't want to misa anything go-j ing on. But to those living in the Green Forest the coming of Mrs. Bear meant a great deal. and the only one I who wasn't on hand at the tall pine I tree at sun-up was Paddy the Bcaver. Paddy preferred to remain in hia pond, where he was safe. ? Sitting on rocka in the Laughing Brook were Billy Mink, Little Joe Otter and Jerry Muskrat, Granny and ' Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote sat under the tall pine tree. Chattercr the Red Squirrel and Happ> Jack the Grqy Squirrel were up in the tall pine tree, Bobby Coon and Unc' Billy Possum were in anothcr tree close by. So was Prickly Porky the Porcupine.

"Nor me!" barked Jack Squirrcl. "Ah reckons Ah just as soon yo' didn't call me that," said Unc' Billy Possum softly. Reddy saw at once that he had mnde a mistake and he hastily corrected il. "Neighbors," said he, "you have heard of the coming of this strange Bear to the Green Forest, Some of you have seen her, so it isn't necessary for any one to take just my word for it that she is livinj here." ? "It is a good thing it isn't necessary. I, for one. wouldn't take votir word for anything." snickered Chatterer the Red Squirrel.

Plans of the Old Glorv to Flv \loiie at Garden Rallv iProposal to Have Allied Banneis at All-American Meeting Provokes Firni Opposition Froiii Legion Voted Down Wilh Wlioon i_ 'Plea of Courtesy to Asso ciates in War Only Stirs 1 j> a Spirited Ai'gumeut The American fiag will Ry alone at the All-American mass meeting in Mcdiabn Square Garden Friday night. A suggestion that Allied llaga al$o be used in the dccoratlons provoked so spiritod n diaputo nt a meeting of the urrangemonts committee yesterday and was opposed so vigorouuly by repre sontatives of the American Legion that the proposal was shelved. At the beginning of the meeting, which took place at 4 East Forty-third Street, a motion was put through rccommending to""tho exocutive com? mittee the use of Allied flngs. The motion was sponaorcd by the Rev. Pcrcy Gordon, aasi8tant pastor of St. Bartholomew'a Church, and seconded by Cass Gilbert and Misa Georgiana llar riman Owon. lt waa not unti] the vote had been taken that those opposed uwoke to action. Somebody moved that, the motion be reconaidcrcd and then the fur began to fly. Hugh II. Roberaton, assistant to t harlos G. Blakeslee, commar.der o<: the department of N'ew Vi;rk, AmcricJln Legion, protested cmphaticnlly againsl the usu of the Allied colors in decorat iuur the Garden. Hc had authority to speak, hc said, for Commander Blakes? lee and was confident he expressed the seritiment of the great mass of World War veterans. * "Want But One Banner"' "They are loyal to the cause for which they fought," Mr. Robertson de clared, "and loyal to their comradea in arms, but they are going to partici pate in this meeting because they have been led to believe it. is to be just~vhat its name implies?all American and they want but one fiag there." Henry W. Buxton, New York County chairman, American Legion, echoed Mr. Robcrt.son*s opinion. By this time several men and women were trying to got the attention of | Robert Grier Cooke, chairman of the meeting, and gain the floor all at once. Miss Owen managed to obtain recog nition. "1 am all American,'' she said, "but I believe that common courtesy de- j mands we fly the flags of the twenty tour Allied nations with our own fiag' in the center at this meeting. That I pro-German meeting at the Garden the '< other night was a wedge which some! people are trying to drive between the United States and France. it is all very Inaidioua, an.il we must do all we ! can to counteract it. I would be ashamed to think that any member of the American Legion \vaa afraid to bear the Allied colors." This last remark brought Miss Anna Hoyt to her feet with the declaration that she resented any such aspersion ! on the bravery of American veterans. Fails to Stem the Tide Alvin M. Owsley, of the Americaniza tion committee of the American Legion, defended the Legion's attitude as ex? pressed by the other spenkers. The Rev. Mr. Gordon tried to stom the tide! against the use of the Allied flags, but the. majority of the committee was plainly of anothcr mind. The motion to reconsider was carried with a whoop. Mrs. Regina Demarest, rcpresen.ing the Women's Auxiliary of the G. A. R., ! then moved that it be the sense of the i committee that the American rlag only be used in the decoratlons. The chair man was about to put this motion when the Rev. Mr. Gordon offered as a aubatitute that the matter be referred to the executive committee, "with its attention directed to the strong pro tests that had been heard." This was done. 4,000 Seals Killed in 3 Hours QUEBEC, March 15.?The schooner \'iking t.o-day reported by radio en countering a record herd of seals in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, near Byrd Kock in the Magdalen Islands.

Wanamaker Clothing is made for New York men Ii is no reflectipn upon the rest of the country that its taste in men's clothing is not metropolitan. It, however, explains the difficulty under which many makers of men's clothing operate. They must have several standards. They cannot specialize. And specialization is essential 1o complete satisfaction. Wanamaker clothing is made by several of the best makers of men's clothing in America. In none of these places is it made as other clothing in the same place is made. Our specifications are more exacting. The models of our suits are our own. The men who make them must hc specialists in thoroughness. Thev must know ? ?that nothing but silk ihread will do for the buti holes of coat and w_tistcoat; and that the Btitching must be done by hand ; ?that ouffs of all sleeves must bc open, with bu button holes; ?that the collars of coats must be stitched bv hand a: I shaped as stitched, in order that the collar shall keep its shape; ?that coat fronts must bo edged with shrunk Unen I by hand, to prevent eurling or buckling; ?that sleeve linings must be of plain or quietlv striped sateen or cainbric; ?that pocketinp, must bc of pood sturdy quality, well stitched in; ?that buttons must be of buffalo horn or bone, p and in harmony with the fabric of the suit. Small details. Yes, but it's the small. insignincant stone upon stone that makes the finished building.
