Quite large crowdA especially Of the

witness the nag raising Ceremony by
Ane employees. A platform, gaily be-
uecked. had been erected in the open
space from which the speakers deliver
q their addresses. North Of the plat

stationed and played martial and ma
elonal airs during the ceremony. City
solicitor Frank Nesbitt and Congress
man 3. B. Dovener made the addresses
a chorus made up Of employees. ac-
companied by the orchestra, started the
programme, singing America. Mr.
John Hagedorn, shipping clerk at the
works, acting as secretary. introduced
Mr. Nesbitt as the first speaker. VINO
made the presentation speech.
Mr.. Nesbitt said that he was glad
60 see SO many ladies present, for the
brave soldiers and sailors would not
display so much bravery were it not
Tor the girls they left behind them.
he said that should anyone wish to
test the patriotism of the American
people they should needs only insult
the stars and stripes. The Spaniards
tried the patriotism of the American
people, and as result the wrecks of
twelve of their ships lie at the bottom
of Manila bay battered hulks, and six
once proud battleships lie On the rocky
southern coast of Cuba, the stars and

He reviewed the history of the flag
from its origin. The victories won I'M
der its folds at Yorktown in the war of
1872 and in the civil strife. 1t has al

In closing Mr. Nesbitt said that he
had the great honor of representing a
body of laboring men, on behalf of
whom he spoke and presented to the
Bloch Bros. Company the flag, and he
knew that it would be received in the
same spirit of patriotism in which it
was given.
After the applause had subsidized Sec
rotary Hagedorn introduced Capt. Dow
ener, the next and final speaker, who
made the speech of acceptance.
Mr.. Dovener said that the flag stood
for happiness, liberty and right, all of
which the humblest citizen under its
folds could enjoy, and the humblest
citizen through his own efforts could
become ruler of the country the flag
represented. Mr.. Dovsner went on to

TAX ON BANKS.
An Important Ruling by the Com
missioner of Revenue.

WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE COM
missioner of internal revenue has held
that in estimating the amount of spe-
cial tax required to be paid by a bank,
based as the law requires upon capital
and surplus. the amount invested in
United States bonds is not to be de-
Quoted. 1t is held that there is no pro-
vision OF law which warrants such de-
ductlon inasmuch as the tax is not up
on the bonds. but upon the business of
banking, the capital and surplus which
may include bonds is taken as a basis
for liking the amount of the tax
The commissioner has also held that
receipts used as checks to draw money
from banks are subject to the stamp
tax. 1t is said that several banks in
order to avoid the stamp tax are &C
ceptfng receipts for cash which, &C
cording1 to the letter of the law, are
empt. The commissioner, however, has
decided that under those circumstances
receipts to all intents and purposes are
checks. and therefore must be stamped
