STATE INCOME TO BE SPEEDED UP Auditor General's Department Will Make an Effort in Final Month of Fiscal Year _ I Steps to speed up V.W f /// State revenue will j\\\ AIV be taken by fiscal officials this week, as t ' ,e state's flnan cial year will close K (nupQQK with November and t MBtHnrnteW " le receipts have ! felUlnllPill been running far behind the pay- K5 ni ent s. The last ■MBSSB9 l.egis lature was rather prodigal with appropriations and many heavy demands have been made for payments, especially for charities, with the result that some of the school districts have not yet received money due. The statements of the Treasury have also shown steady declines in the available cash. November has always been the ban ner month for collections of State taxes by the Auditor General's depart ment and one month they went over the $5,000,000 mark. The Auditor General's department worked up many settlements on taxes during the sum mer and they have been out some time, so that payments may be ex pected in November. It is also under stood that a number of appeals to court are in the department which have not yet been sent to the court officials for entry. The taxation work is Just now occupying the depart ment's experts. Within a few days the coal tax de cision problems will be taken up with the Attorney General and it will then he determined whether the filing of escheats tor money paid by coal con sumers to operators because of the tax and which may be in dispute will amount to anything or not. The gen eral belief here is that it is up to each person paying the tax to take steps to got it back. The Auditor General's department acted to head off anyone eise. but no one about the Capitol ex pects to get very much cash fyr the commonwealth as a result of the escheats. School Fund Grows. The State Board of Education has just added bonds to the value of $16,000 to the State permanent school fund and it now amounts to $178,000 in invest ments and several thousands addi tional in cash held in the State Treas ury. The school fund was created by the code of 1911 and is designed to establish a fund the interest of which can help in education in the future. To it goes all money escheated to the State, income from the forests and proceeds of sales of State property. This year some of the State forests have added materially to the revenue, as they are just commencing to be valuable. The escheated estates have also shown an Increase and should any money bo collected as a result of the discussion of the coal tax decision it would also go to the school fund. Sixty-four New Associations.—Sixty four building and loan associations have been incorporated in Pennsyl vania since the first of the year, th." largest number in any similar period -ifi a long time. There are in the neighborhood of 1,775 associations of the kind in the State, the great ma jority being.in Philadelphia. OUI Men Get Preference.—General \ orders to be issued for the reorgan ization of the new batteries of field artillery at Pittsburgh will permit the men of the Fourteenth Regiment to make application for transfer to the artillery arm of the service, prefer ence to be given to men of that or ganization. Lieutenant L. V. Crook son is to be in charge of the recruit ment of the men for the new batteries which are to be known as E and f! Pittsburgh will then have three bat teries. Six more will be organized throughout the State, with a possi bility of some in Philadelphia. Maybe New Cities. Capitol Hill "is taking a big interest in the special elections being held at Bethlehem and Soyth Bethlehem to-day on the ques tion of becoming third-class cities. South Bethlehem was a city for a while, but the courts set aside the election. Capitol Closed.

The play has been in the making for a period of one year and has called forth 'exceptional effort. In approaching the Fox version of "Carmen" one must* understand that it Is not the story as heard in opera; j it is not the story that is read in tliei book; it. is purely a Fox version in which he has worked from the original, taking out and adding to the play, leaving It so changed that there It but little in common with the original. The story he has given js marvelously staged, he has gone to great lengths to secure veracity in local color, scenic effects and realism. It is purely a story built up step by; step to provide Theda Bara with a new vehicle and withal one which calls forth more effort to conscienti ously portray than any of her screen successes. "Carmen" is not a role to be learn ed In an hour, neither will it be learn ed\in a year. There Is infinitely more! to it than the acting, or nearly acting j of a 'Spanish gypiy girl. "Carmen" sums up in the one word all of the slitfllow love, hate, intrigue that Is possible in a woman. All of ft was there in the Theda Bara portrayal, "Carmen" offered the opportunity to weave into the portrayal much of thoi same type of work as the star has put into her "Vampire" and "Sin." It is' notably to her credit that she re frained absolutely from this type of work especially in the light that the opportunity was amply afforded. Theda Bara's "Cafmen" Is a plctur izatlon Of the story of which William Fox has provided for 'her. it is a really wonderful portrayal of the [character. Her associate players have] acquitted themselves in an equally! notable manner. Above afl however must be remembered, that the "Car men" as produced by William Fox is a 'Carmen" that does not go down deep into the nature of the cigaret girl, neither Is it d production inspired by artistic Ideal, but rather a story which has called forth the efforts of the greatest actresses, modernized to ap peal to the masses.
