The New Haven Law and Order league did not, for 1t was not then in existence. 3. No agent or detective of ours gave 1t away, for there was at that time no de- tective here. 3.

In exclusion of the first two suppesitions beg leave to present the two inclosed sfhdsvits, the one from the assistant city attorney, Mir. Matthewman, and the other from myself.

THE INCOME TAX LAW.
Preparations Beng made to Carry lit
Into Eject.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-The work pre-
1iminary to carrying into effect the
new income tax law is going forward
as rapidly as its nature viii permit.
under the direction Of Mr.. William
II. Pugh. who, in October last, was
appointed superintendent Of the in
come tax
A number of complicated and inter
esting questions have arisen under
former laws and anticipating that
questions will arise in the future of
equal impor tance. it is essential for
their solution to understand what has
been the former legislation Of con-
gress, the decisions Of the courts
and the rulings Of the depart
ment upon the su inject Of the
income tax. With this view Mr..
Pugh has been occupied since
his appointment in examining and
preparing q digest of court decisions
and department rulings under their
respective headings He has also
prepared comparison OF all the
former laws upon the income tax, ar
ranged so that all the provisions
heretofore made upon the subject
shall appear properly grouped and
any one at a glance can see the varl-
Gus changes and notifications that
have taken place
There have been several acts upon
the subject of income tax The first
was passed August 5, 1861 Under
this act, however, nothing was done.
The act failed to provide any pro-
visions contained in the subsequent
legislation, both as to the subjects Of
taxation and the methods of
collection. These were provided
for in subsequent acts
The second act was passe d
July i, 1862; the third act, June 80,
1854; the fourth act, March g. 1868; the
fifth act, March ?, 1867. Under the
first act, $500 was the amount re-
served from taxation and the rate Of
tax was five per cent on all sums over
that amount. Under the act of July
1, 1862, the amount reserved from tax
was as follows:
If the income exceeded 5000 and did
not exceed $40. 600 a duty of per
centum on the amount above 5000; if
said income exceed $40. 600 a duty of
per centum upon the amount ex-
ceedin9 $500 Under the third act
5000 was exempted and the duty per
centum, on the excess, under the
fourth and fifth acts, 81, 600 was free
from taxation and the amount Of tax
was 5 per cent on the amount IN ex-
cess Of that sum
