upon a system for fling the pension claims
under the Spanish american war, He has
decided to form a new division to be known

claims will be numbered consecutively, be-
ginning with the last number of the old
claims. and will be promptly adjudicated
At the present time the pension Office has
done nothing toward settling these claims,
except to get them ready when the War
Department is ready to furnish the evil
dence of the soldiers service. Up to this
time the department has not completed its
record. When the evidence is attainable,
however, the claims will be taken up in
their regular order and promptly disposed

Rulings on Certain Sections of the
Law.

Law.
The commissioner of internal revenue has
rendered a decision the liability of CO.
operative and mutual insurance companies
to tax under the war revenue act. After
quoting that part of the act applicable to
the case the commissioner says that 1t is
clear, from the language used, that the
exemptions made are not intended to ap-
ply to life insurance companies, although
organized and conducted on the mutual
plan. unless such companies are 'frater-
NAL beneficiary or purely local. in
their character. In the case of the particu-
lar company under consideration it is stated
that it is purely cooperative or mutual,
issues stock and has no stockholders,
and all of the profits or surplus assets go
to its members in the way of dividends,
reductions of premiums or additions to pol
icfes in case of death.
Sugar manufacturers.
The commissioner of internal revenue has
decided that persons engaged in manufac-
turing sugar from or beets and who
do not buy and refine sugars are not sub
ject to the tax imposed by the new war
revenue act.
The contention of the commissioner is
that the law applies only TO persons ell
gagged in refining raw sugars, as distin-
guished from those who produce the raw
or unrefined sugars from cane or beets.
sugar mills of the west and the cane mills
of the south are exempt from the tax, who
are held not to be refiners within the mean
ing of the law. OF this latter class there
are said to be over 700 in the state of Lou
isiana alone. The decision rendered
upon the application of the OXnard Beet
Sugar Company, who asked for a ruling
upon this point.
Stamps Required of Boatmen.
Gen. Dumont, supervising inspector gen.
eral of steam vessels, has issued circular
in which he announces that under the reve-
nue. act a ten-cent stamp must be affixed
to the following named certificates and cop
les thereof required by law:
Supervising inspectors permit to towing
steamer TO carry persons other than crew.
Supervising inspectors permit exempting
river steamers from carrying metallic life
boat.
Certificate of license to carry gunpowder.
Certificate permitting steamers to go to
another port for repairs.
Certificate of license to carry excursion
party.
Certificate of license permitting the car
rying of petroleum on passenger steamers.
Certificate of supervising inspectors as to
safety of using petroleum fuel on steam
ers.
Certificate of supervising inspectors as to
safety of boilers not built of riveted iron
or steel plates.
Original certificates of inspection of steam
vessels issued to chief officers of customs
