"John McCormack, the singer, yesterday put into the hands of Mark Eisner, Collector of Internal Revenue for the Third New York District, a check for $75,000, a sum equal to the annual salary of the President, which represented Mr. McCormack's income tax for the year. This exceeds by $16,000 the income tax paid by Enrico Caruso three weeks ago, and is believed to represent an income of approximately $300,000 a year."
