STAMPS ON RENT RECEIPTS.
Exemption Which Also Applies to
Real Estate Agreements

The Internal Revenue Bureau yesterday
ruled upon two rather important ques-
tions involved in the war stamp tax.
The first was as to the taxation of re-
ceipts for rent. Although no formal de-
a whole, it was stated informally at the
department that nothing in the revenue
act has yet been discovered which would
require stamp on an ordinary bare re-
ceipt for so much cash paid for rent. a
receipt, however, which contains any
other matter than a mere acknowledge
ment of money paid viii always have to
be judged on its own merits. Thus on
Monday the commissioners passed upon
a form of receipt for rent which had GER
tain special features The payment was
made for one month in advance, and
foot note expressly specified certain
things which the tenant obligated him.
self TO do. This, it was admitted, was put
in for the purpose of making use of it
should il become necessary to dispossess
the tenant by legal process. The inclu-
sion of this matter took the document out
of the category of a simple receipt and
converted ii into a memorandum or con-
tract for the hire, use or rent of any
land. tenement, or portion thereof as
provided for in Schedule A, under the til
tle Lease"
A similar rule would apply to the case
of an agreement of sale of real estate >
which was the subject of the second ques-
ion propounded yesterday. A naked
agreement to sell real estate does not
in the opinion of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. fall within any of the scheduled
provisions. But if such an agreement
were drawn with any notes or clauses
which would make ii convey or purport
TO convey any title to the property, it
would cease to be mere agreement of
sale. and become a memorandum of sale,
under the title contract or convey
ance." both provided for under schedule
A. The only safe course is to make such

be. or else take the best of legal advice
in order to insure against disagreeable

NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA.
The Police Commissioners Hold a
Lively Meeting

Alexandria. Aug "a lively meeting Of the
board of police commissioners was held tonight.
Chief Webster presented his reports ci the work
ing Of the force since the last meeting in which
he referred to the suspension of Lieut.. Smith, for
alleged dereliction OF duty He also referred 10
the charges preferred by Lieut.. Smith against
Policemen Proctor and Wilkinson for falling to
respond TO his call. Commissioner Price, of
the Second Ward, took exceptions to the
ton of the mayor in suspending Lieut.. Smith,
and asked by what authority Policemen Knight
and Bettis had been kept on one square for sew
eral hours thus leaving the remainder of the
Second Ward unprotected. He regarded the
whole affair as suspicious, and believed that
the lieutenant had been treated unfairly. Mayor
Simpson stated that he was responsible for what
had been done, and also said that Lieut. Smith
could appeal to the board if 50 inclined. A
spirited debate ensued between the mayor and
Commissioner Price, after which the action of
the mayor in suspendng the lieutenant was
accepted
Mayor Simpson suggested several changes in
the rules governing the working OF the police
force which finally adopted. One of the
rules thus amended provides that the officer in
charge shall visit the patrclmen every two hours

Other Diseases Than yellow Fever
Cause High Mortality.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 3.-The re-
ports regarding the heaithfulness of this
city are not borne out by the facts.
There is. it is true, little yellow fever
among the residents, nearly all of whom
are acclimated, but other diseases are
causing a very high death rate.
Sanitary Inspector Camenero has made
a report to Gov Wood. which states that
dysentery and malarial fever are cpl
demic in the city The deaths from these
causes average forty per day.
The Inspector asks that more stringent
sanitary precautions be taken and that
the town, so far as possible. be thor
Oughly disinfected.
The work of cleaning the place pro-
gresses but to thoroughly disinfect the
city is practically an impossibiity. Under
Spanish rule no attention whatever was
paid to sanitation. The ground upon
which the city is built has been soaked
for centuries with sewage and other
filth.
this condition of affairs. and it is hoped
that comparatively healthy conditions
will soon be established.

WORK ON THE NEW MoRGUE.
The Much Needed Structure Is Near
ing Completion.

Washington will shortly compare with
other large municipalities. in that it will
have a modern morgue.
When occasion arose provision has been
made in the past for the accommodation
of unclaimed corpSes, but until the deciS-
ion to erect new morgue was recently
reached Washington virtually possessed
no morgue at all. A large apartment in
one of the patrol stables of the Sixth
Precinct was used for the purpose but
slab was the only equipment that gave
it the resemblance to a city morgue. The
odors which arose from the building dur
ing the Summer have been annually COM
planned of as being exceedingly detri-
mental to the health of the persons resid-
ing in the near vicinity.
The work on the new structure Is rap
idly progressing, however. and the city
will soon have morgue that can COM
pare favorably with similar buildings in
other large cities. The new building is
located in the rear of the Sixth police
station in New Jersey Avenue northwest
and is only a few feet distant from the
cell room of the precinct. 1t is a one
story structure, containing two rooms
and Coroner Carr and his assistant, Dr.
Glazebrook,s will have it fitted with as
many modern appliances as the limited
appropriation at hand will purchase
Two large ice chests have been pro-
vided and one of them will be used en-
tirely for the reception and transportation
of drowned persons. Major Sylvester
chief of police, thinks 1t entirely i'm
proper to transport drowned persons from
the river front to the morgue in the po-
lice patrol wagons, which are intended
for the conveyance of prisoners to and
from the various police stations and the
police court, and in the future the patrol
wagons will only be used in emergency
cases, such as probable fatal accidents
or murders.
A special wagon will be hired for the
transportation of such bodies across the
city until a suitable wagon can be pro-
yided
