'Sees Income Tax Lift Burdens of the Poor Boss Hammond, collector of Internal revenues for Nebraska, In speaking to the current topics department of tho Omaha Woman's club, Tuesday afternoon, em phasized tho altruistic purpose ot tho new income tax, whoso purpose, ho snld, was to transfer tho burdens of tho poor to tho rich. "Tho relation of wealth to tho com munity In which It Is derived Is a ques tion of growing Importance," said tho speaker. Mr. Hammond gavo a resume of the provisions ot the law and a history of its origin. Ho thought that tho new law would stimulate better bookkeeping nnd business methods In largo corporations. According to tho speaker, Dr. Anna Shaw, Lillian Russell, Mrs. DoWolf Hopper and others who object to paying tho Income' tax bocauso of being denied tho right to vote, have llttlo reason for doing so, as tho law provides that every person re siding In tho United States, whether he Is a citizen or not, must pay the tax, It ho comes within Its bounds. As a, collector, bo did not look-for 'very much evasion of the law "becauso ot tho wholesome re gard for tho power of Undo Sam." Preceding tho speech, Mrs. L. M. Lord had charge of tho parliamentary practice .which was on the subject ot "Debate and Decorum." Mrs. C. Vincent Is leader of the department. WILLIAMS BALL PLAYER.

DRIVEN OUT OF BEDS IN SANITARIUM BY A FIRE MILWAUKEE, Wis.. Feb. ll.-Forly-flvo Inmates of the Blue Mound sani tarium for tubercular patients, were driven out of their beds hero today by a fire which swept over tho institution and totally destroyed It, the loss being JjO.OOO. Tho sanitarium was a city Insti tution located at Wauwatosa, a suburb. The buildings were only recently completed. Although several water ilstrlcts have boch created in Soutn Omaha under the now metropolitan water district bill Mayor Thomas Hoctor says ho hns ad vised tho city council to refuse quarters In tho city hall to tho Water board lest by so doing ho should recognize tho validity of tho bill. Tho mayor Issued tho following state ment In rcsard to tho matter yesterday: In reply to your Itqulry as to what position the city will take with referent to tho reported ubollkhlng of the local water orflec by tho Omaha Water board, permit me to say: 1 bellevo under the terms of the existing contract between the Omaha Water com pany and tho city ot b'outh Omaha. If n.iy citizen wero to apply for un Injunction to prevent the removal of tho local office, the Injunction would bo intuited bv the court My contention Is that HniW Ilin i nntrnet entered Into between the Omaha Water company and tho city ot South Omaha iind which does not explro until October, 1H. tho company Is required to maintain a local offieo In tills rllf. Tlinv nrn nln under tho terms of this contract, required to extend their mains when fire hydrants aro located by concurrent resolution at u distance not to exceed J(M feet from the nearest hydrant on tho main so extended. On October 2$, 1912, by concurrent reso lution, tho city council ordered thirteen' hydrants located at specific points under tho terms of the contract heretofore men tioned. At the tlmo these hydrans wero ordered located there was sufflclnt money In tho fund to pay the annunl rontnl on snld hydrant and this money Is still In tho hands of tho trenrurer, for thlB specific purpose. Although the Omaha Water board ussumod this contract be tween tho Omaha Water conipnny and the city ot South Omaha when thoy took over tho water works plant and have complied with tho terms of tho contract In no fnr as accepting from tho city of South Omaha tho fire hydrant rentals as provided In said contract, they have Ignored that portion ot tho contract which requires the extension of mnlns and the Installing ot tho flro hydrants authorized by concurrent resolution of tho mayor and council. I have advised tho council to refuse the request of the Omaha Wntcr board for office room in tho city hall for the rcn BOn that it might bn construed as rec ognition of tho validity of the bill creat ing the Metropolian water district which I do not consider effective, at least dur ing' tho llfo ot tho existing contract here tofore mentioned. In this contention I am unanimously supported by tho council. THOMAS HOCTOR, Mayor. Kxoellencc In J I lull School.
