LATE REVENUE DECISIONS.
Don't Put a Stamp on Money Orders-In-
surance Policies.

Don't Put a Stamp on Money Orders-In-
surance Policies.
The revenue act, which took effect
July l, prescribed a government tax
of 2 cents ON each United States pos
tai money order. Instructions were
issued in advance on all money order
postoffices that this tax was to be col
lected, not by affixipg stamps to the
orders, but by charging 2 cents to the
buyers of money orders in addition to
the regular fee. In spite Of the plain
instructions sent cut, money orders
are now coming to the auditors office
with revenue stamps affixed. NO
stamp should in any case be attached
to postal money orders.
The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has rendered decision on the IL
ability of cooperative and mutual in
surance companies to tax under the
war revenue act. In the case of the
particular company under considera-
LlOl, IL ID SldICu IlIdC II 10 oACiy w
operative or mutual, issues no stock
and has no stockholders, and all of
the profits or surplus assets go to its
members in the way of dividends, re-
auctions of premiums or additions TO
policies in case of death.
The commissioner rules that the
policies issued by this company do not
come within the exemptions made by
the revenue act. The business OF
the company, he says, appears not to
be confined to any particular locality,
nor conducted exclusively for the ben
eft of its members without profit.
The premiums charged are at certain
fixed rates and payable at stipulated
times, as in the case of ordinary life
insurance, and not according to the
assessment plan usually adopted by
cooperative insurance companies.
The commissioner of internal reve-
nue. has also rendered a decision in
which he holds in effect that persons
engaged in manufacturing sugar from
cane or beets, and who do not buy
and refine others, are not subject to
the tax imposed by the new war rev.
enue act. Under this ruling practic-
ally all of the beet sugar mills of the
West and the cane mills of the South
are exempt from the tax

Last evening, after search which
lasted most of the afternoon, Officer
Ed. Michaels and Deputy Sheriff Will
liam McAllister, the latter Of Elkton,
Nd, arrested Charles Devalinger, of
Elktcn, on the charge of being a fugi-
tive from justice in Maryland and with
decoying and enticing away from that
State Pearl Meredith, a female less
than eighteen years of age, which is
"the age of consent in Maryland. De-
valinger was arraigned before Justice
Rodgers and Washed in five hundred
dollars bail. He gave the required
bond late last night and McAllister and
the young woman left on the 1925
train for the east.
Devalinger and Miss Meredith came
here on July %, the Saturday before
the Inauguration of the present racing
on the State Fair Grounds, and took
room in a boarding house on Eleventh
street, where they have since remain
ed. When the arrest of the man was
made last evening the girl was also
taken into custody, and she spent sew
eral hours last evening at police head
quarters. She looks to be about sew
enteen years of age, with black hair
worn in curls about her neck and face.
She took matters very calmly, but ex-
pressed desire to return to her home.
She had very little to say, and spent
most of the time reading a paper. De-
valinger was at the Office of the justice
most of the evening, and hustled
around a good deal, through the me-
dunn of messengers and friends, in an
effort to procure bail. He was very
anxious to keep the matter out of the
papers, AMI the justice SO far obliged
him as to tell newspaper men he had
nothing to give out tonight" Deva-
linger is horseman, and has a string
of five horses oG the Fair Grounds. He
appears to be a very clever and gentle
manly sort of person. His great mis-
take appears to have been in picking
a young lady who was just trif1e too
young.

ceived from contractors, for the i'm
provements to the Third Presbyterian
Church. The bids will be opened at
a meeting of Trustees of the church,
to be held this evening. The plans and
specifications were prepared by Franz
helm, Gesey & Faris. The work to
be done will necessitate the practical
rebuilding of the church. The front
will be entirely remodeled. The spire,
which is now situated in the center,
will be transferred to the southwest
corner of the building. This will add
considerable floor space, which is much
needed on account Of the rapid growth
of the congregation. The Third Church
will be one Of the handsomest in the
city when the alterations are finished.
