There is muctl controversy aud TraCg-
ling going on ali over the country With
regard to the payment or use OF revenue
stamps. Many firms refuse 70 put the
stamp upon their checks, and propose 10
test the matter before doing so. The
express companies. however, are res o7t-
ing to the most dishonest practice TO
evade the la~. The revenue Law requires
panies shall put q revenue stamp upon
each receipt given for a package by q
patron of their company, bill Of ladlng,
manifeet or memorandum, but instead Of
doing this the express companies are
compelling their customers to put on
this stamp. A case has been appealed
to the attorney generals office by the
commissioner Of internal evenue, and
Assistant Attorney General Boyd, after
quoting that portion Of the revenue law
which requires express, railroad, and
other corporations or companies Of com-
mon carriage. to put the revenue stamp
upon their receipts or bills Of lading.

range Plans.
At the meeting of the Indiana Soldiers
Aid Society yesterday morning, Mrs. r. o.
Hawkins, vice president of the Women
Auxiliary of the Twenty-seventh Battery,
asked and was granted permission for the
auxiliary to have charge of the reception
to the battery when it arrives here The
request was granted with the assurance that
the state secretary will give any needed as
sistance. AT the meeting of the battery
auxiliary in the afternoon, a request was
received from a number of men, who are
friends of the battery, to be permitted to
assist the women in serving luncheon on the
train just before the returning artillerymen
reach the city. Permission was gladly
granted by the auxiliary. 1t has been de-
cided to serve dinner at camp the day after
the battery arrives. Representative Over
street yesterday telegraphed from Washing
ton that he would meet the battery in New
York and see that the men have the neces-
sary attention. Mr. Overstreet has been au-
thorized by the War Department TO look
after the arrival of the men and facilitate
their comfort.
The women of the Soldiers Aid Society,
at the meeting yesterday, arranged to serve
luncheon to the members of the Twenty
eighth Battery this evening. The men will
be served lunch in boxes. Those who will

SETTLING THE ACCOUNTS.
A Hard Task Before the Officers of
the Regiment.


There was q long conference at the head
quarters of Colonel Studebaker yesterday
morning. at which every company officer
was present. Lieutenant Waterman was on
hand to read instructions to the officers re-
garding strengthening out the army ac-
counts preparatory to mastering out When
the officers went into the service they knew
but little about army methods and some
of their accounts of equipment and ord
nance received and issued are in a sad tam
gle. Lieutenant Waterman explained to
them that every article must be accounted
for before the muster out. Some of the off,
GERS seemed TO think that 1t would take
them forever and day to get things
Strengthened up Lieutenant Waterman in
sisted that nothing should be put off until
tomorrow that can be done to-day, and the
captains plunged into what, to some of
them, seemed a hopeless task Immediately
after the conference. Many articles Of
equipment have been lost Boards OF sur
vey for each company will be designated
to investigate all such cases. Where ii APP
pears that the loss was due to negligence,
the luckless officers will have the bills to
foot. Where the loss resulted from acct
dent or was otherwise unavoidable show
ing to that effect win be made and the
account squared OFF.

Captain Ranke, of the Twenty-eighth Bat
terry, succeeded in getting his camp in pref
ty good shape yesterday. He is encamped
just west of the e-hundred-and-fifty- sew
enth Regiment. About o'clock in the
morning the camp equipment was trans
ferred from the train to the camp ground
and the men began pitching the tents. BY
night everything was in good condition and
the boys seemed as much at home as if they
had been in camp a month. The crowds at
the camp yesterday were not so large as
on Sunday, Notwithstanding it was Labor
day and the excursion trains brought in
many strangers. The lowering weather de-
TERED meny from going out. There were
enough visitors, however, to keep the boys
busy entertaining them. A strong guard
line was thrown out on the outer edge of
the race track to keep people from cross
ing 1t, and visitors who ventured across re-
ceived their first experience of the arbi-
trary rules of war a sharp halt from the
guards bringing them a realization that
they were in military territory. The visit
ors walked around the track to reach the
camp, where there was less formality and
no guards except at headquarters and at
the hospital, where a double guard line
kept all but intimate friends and relatives
from visiting the sick quarters.

No Advices as to other Regiments.

Governor Mount said last night that he
had not received any information as to
when the One-hundred-and-f ifty-eighth and
One hundred and fifty ninth regiments
would reach Indianapolis. AS yet it has
not been determined whether the regiments
will be sent to Camp Mount or Fairview
Park. The Governor said that circum-
stances would govern. If it should appear
that the regiments would be in camp good
while and that the state fair might inter-
fere, Fairvfew Park might be chosen. AS
far as practicable the wishes of the men
themselves will be consulted. On thing that
makes the Governor favor Camp Mount is
that the state hospital has been established
there and it would take some time and con-
siderable trouble to move it. If either Of
the other regiments were to arrive before
The One hundred-and-fifty- seventh is fur
Laughed and were sent to Fairview this
would necessitate two hospitals. All things
considered, it seems probable that the re-
naming regiments will be sent to Camp
Mount.
