SALMON WILL WEAR
 ALUMINIUM BADGES
NOVEL METHOD FOR TELLING
 THE GROWTH OF FISH.
The Fish Commissioners Will Cut the Fins of Young Salmon for Sci
 entific Identification.

Claude Rutter, assistant United States Fish Commissioner, arrived in this city last night after several months of ex- tion on the Sacramento River He has been studying the salmon, their habits and their development.
 Rutter has made two rowboat trips down the river. the first from Red Bluff to Sacramento and the second from Red- ding to the same destination. He says that the river has been stocked with 4O,- 100000 young salmon during the past few months. But the novel part of his labors is yet to come. The adult salmon will be tagged with three-quarter inch plates either of copper or aluminium fastened to the fins or gi!ls. Their movements up- stream will then be noted and observa- quested to return all tagged fish to the river in the event of a successful angling.
 In order to determine the rate of growth of salmon several hundred specimens of young fish will have their adpose fins cut The adipose fin Is on the back in front of the tail fin and Is of fatty nature The cutting will leave a scar, which will be these abbreviated fish. return to the scenes of their youth. A single specimen of one of these finless fish found in the river will be the best evidence that he was launched in 1898, and his rate of growth may be accordingly judged The general belief is that the salmon gets out to sea soon after matching and does not return until 1t has reached the age which places 1t in the class of adults. The tag ging and cutting will be the means by which the habits of the salmon may be ascertained by the fish experts.

UNDIVIDED PROFITS
 MUST BE ASSESSED
The Internal Revenue Commissioner Makes Ruling That Does Not
 Suit the Bankers.

NEW YORK, July 29.-A Washington special to the Herald says: Much con- fusion has arisen over the Interpretation of that provision of war revenue law inn- posing special tax on banks and bank CTS. The law imposes a tax of g on each 5000 of capital stock. and provides that in estimating the capital the surplus shall be included
 The Commissioner of Internal Revenue, with the approval of Secretary Gage, himself banker, holds that undivided profits" must be included in estimating the surplus" This is contrary to the opinion of other officials in the Treasury Department, and 1t is understood that 1t is not being observed by all internal reve- nue collectors. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Scott told me this afternoon that he proposed to stand by his ruling and that If any collectors were not as- sessing undivided profits they would have to de their work again when their re- turns came in.
 Washington bankers will pay the tax on undivided profits under protest and will take the case to court to obtain a judicial interpretation of the law.

WELLS-FARGO'S CASE.
No Action Will Be Taken Till the Supreme Court Decides.

From present appearances 1t seems un- likely that the courts of this city will be called upon to determine the merits of the controversy as to the payment of the war tax imposed by the Government upon every receipt or bill of lading issued by an express company.
 The members of the Merchants Asso- citation have collected the necessary evil dence upon which suits may be brought and were prepared to submit 1t to the United States Attorney for action. The decision rendered by Judge Tuley of Chi cago in favor of the shippers has. how ever, caused decided change in the plans of the association. According to the dispatches the case of the Illinois Manufacturers Association will be ap- pealed by the defendants, thus taking il to the Supreme Court.
 As that case would naturally have pre- cedence over all others the court would entertain it before another on the same subject Thus a suit brought here would be of no avail, as 1t would ultimately have to await that decision. The direct ors have practically determined to hold their case in abeyance unless some con- dition arises to make 1t expedient tc press their claims. The Supreme Court is not in session now, and will not recon vene until October l0.
