INCOME-TAX WAYS.
MAGISTRATE'S QUESTIONS TO
A COLLECTOR.
During the hearing of income. Berlin, Sept. 7.
tax summonses at the Guildhall, The Cassel police had a desperate E.C., recently, one of the collec all-night fight yesterday in the tors. Mr. A. Terry, asked Alderman neighbouring village of Nieder- Sir William Waterlow for a com- Mollrich with a particularly quar-mittal order against a defaulter
named Norman. relsome young man of 26.
Heinrich Clauss, an agricultural worker who was for some yeare a policemen, had a violent alter cation with his stepmother which attracted the neighbours and ulti- mately the local policeman, who attempted to restore peace,
This yoxed the excited Clauss 80 much that he fetched a revolver from his house and fired point blank at the policeman, who fell dend, shot through the heart. The villagers threatened to lynch the murderer, but he escaped into his house and barricaded the doors und windows and threatened to shoot anyone who came too near.
The burgomaster and his ser- vant accompanied by soveral other men, attempted to enter the house to arrest Clauss, but the latter first fired all the bullets from his re- volver and then appeared at window with a rifle in his hand. The proceedings had begun the afternoon, and when it was seen that nothing could be done the burgomaster telephoned for help from Cassel. Ten policemen hurried to the scene in motor- cars, but Clauss kept them all at bay with his rifle.
Asked for evidence of means, he produced a certificate of the man's earnings from May to July, and the following dialogue ensued:"
Sir William Waterlow: Is he still employed? I don't think he is.
Then who is to pay this?-He was employed when the tax became due.
You should have issued your summons before he was out of a job. You have given him too much time. What is he?
Mr. Terry: I don't know a clerk, I think.
Sir William: You ought to know. Mr. Terry: It is a matter for the inspector of taxes, not me..
Sir William: There is no evi- adence of means, and I adjourn the

The police then began to fire at the windows, but Clauss had barricaded himself in very thoroughly, leaving only loopholes for him to fire through, and no harm was done.
The Armoured Car.
an
By this time it was one o'clock in the morning and the fight had lasted six hours. Then the police telephoned to Cassel for armoured car and further help. In the meantime foresters and others who possessed rifles, kept up a continuous fire, but they only succeeded in breaking all the glass of the windows.
At half-past armoured
summons.
In another instance Mr. Terry obtained a committal order, but had subsequently to tell the court that the man concerned had pre- viously paid the amount of the claim, and the order was therefore withdrawn.
The effects of a five-day week in industry were mentioned by Mr. F. H. Crittall, at a meeting of of the Crittall Manufacturing Company, the metal window mak ers. The opportunity afforded for additional hours of recreation and recuperation during the week- end afforded by the five-day week and in the company's factories warehouse had resulted, he said, in improved efficiently to such ap extent that, in spite of fewer working hours, the output per man had increased.

machine guns. The captain in command placed the car as near as possible to the house and called on Clauss to surrender. The latter replied with bullets from his rifle and revolver.
The machine guns were trained on the windows, and at last the fire from inside ceased. The police imagined that Clauss had taken refuge in the cellar, but as they tried to force the front door they were again met with bullets, and the captain himself would have been shot had he not rushed behind the car.
The captain ordered a renewal of the onslaught with the machine guns, and also with hand grenades. Unfortunately, one of the latter was badly thrown and exploded in the wrong place, injuring the chief of the police and six of his men. Finally, the police took up their courage and went so close to the house that they could fling hand grenades through the windows.
The result was terrifying. The house took fire, but the polico managed to enter. They found Cluass blown to fragments by the grenades. It was then seven o'clock in the morning.
A £730 DOLE FRAUD.
WEEKLY FORGERIES FOR G
YEARS.
Albert William Gotham, aged 47, a clerk, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey last month to forging claims for unemployment benefit and obtaining the dole by false pretences.
Mr. G. B. McClure, for the Min- istry of Labour, said that in De- cember 1920, when Gorham was released froin prison, he took the name of Newcombe hd was em- ployed in that name until May 1921. He was then entitled to draw out-of-work benefit and he drew it in the name of Newcombe. That seemed to be the beginning of a long scheme of fraud which required, forgeries to be commit ted every week. He gave the names of fictitious people and drew money on their behalf and also for wives and children who did not exist. When the Ministry wrote to Gorham asking about his em- ployees he was able to give them a satisfactory answer.
The fraud, which was practical- ly undiscoverable, went on for six years and three months, and in that time Gorham obtained £783 from the Ministry. The matter was discovered last month, when Gorham was arrested for being in unlawful possession of unemploy ment insurance stamps.
In passing sentence of five years' penal servitude, the Recorder, Sir Ernest Wild. K.C., said that no blame attached to the Ministry of Labour. Only by accident was the fraud discovered.
