"The statement that the American
Tin-plate Company is negotiating for
the purchase or control of our plant Is
absolutely false"
These were the words OF President
John A. Topping. OF the Aetna-Standard
Iron and Steel Company. when asked
last night for information regarding the
deal which has been on for some time
between the Aetna-Standard and the
billet combine. the latter OF which is
intimately connected with the tln-pIate
combine. the American Tin-plate Com
parT.
Further than the statement above,
Mr.. Topping declined to speak at this
time. adding that the deal now in pro-
gress was n matter OF private interest
in which the public need feel no partic-
ular interest.
SO Ear as can be learned. the ncgotia-
lions between the Aetra-Standard and
the billet combine are nearing COM
pletlon. In some quarters 1; Is main
talned tina; the plan; will be bought out
right. and in others 1t is claimed the
deal Is only. one for stock. either a
strong minority holding or q controlling

The Iron Age in its weekly review.
says: Reports relative TO pools and con-

feeling is gaining ground that the
American Tin Plate company is on the
eve OF concentrating the control OF the

the plants OF the ShenanGo Valley Steel
company. the Ohio Steel company. the
Buhl Steel company. King, Gilbert &;
Warner and the Wheeling Steel and
Iron company. having also made long
time contracts with wo other plants
making tin plate bars in the Pittsburgh
and Wheeling districts.
The sheet mills are working on n con-
solidatiOn similar in its line to that OF
the Tin Plate company, and the western
bar iron makers are trying to gather
together once more the same elements
which once co-operated In the business
OF the Western Association.

MANY MOURNERS.
Charles q. Hall Laid at Rest BY the Ten
der Hands of Masonic Brethren.


The funeral of Charles A. Hall took
place Tuesday afternoon at 2.3O
o'clock from All Souls Church. Rev.
Dr. M. H. Harris OBLIGATED
The sanctuary was filled with the
relatives and friends, who had known
and respected the deceased. Mr. Hall
was quite prominent in Masonic circles,
and delegations and representative
from all the local Masonic bodies We're
present.
The floral tributes were very hand
some. Among them were: Basket from
the directors of the Wachusett Thread
Company; square and compass, from
Montacute lodge; maltese cross, from
Worcester County Commandery;
standing cross from Lawrence chapter,
Rose Croix lodge; star, from Eastern
Star lodge; and a bunch of 40 roses
from the Masons of Upton: a wreath
marked Father and Husband; East
er lilies, plnks, etc, in profusion.
The bearers were George II. Coates
and George Mutt, from Worcester Com
mandery, and r. W. Clifford and Jas
Montgomery from Montacute lodge
w. L. Davis, Arthur Burton, Fl. H.
Flint and G. F. Mann represented Wor-
cester Commandery. A delegation

er represented the Eastern Star lodge.
Mrs. Robert Ruddy and several
thread workers from the factory where
the deceased was employed before his
death and many members of All Souls
Church were among those who at
tended the services.
The Schumann quartet sang several
selections.
Rev. DR.. Harris paid an eloquent
tribute to Mr.. Hall. He spoke of his
useful life and the true tenderness of
the mans character which the speak
err said would be remembered by those
who had known him for years to come.
Mrs Hall, wife of the deceased, lies
Frustrated at her home, and Rev DR.,
Harris, in his eulogy, asked the ladies
of his congregation not to forget or

worthy friends.

sTAMP-TAx DECISIONS.
Two Bars Which Constitute One Place of
Business.

Deputy Collector Oscar j. Winslow
sioner of internal revenue several de-
cisions on the stamp-taX law which
are of interest, especially the one in
relations to two bars run by the same
liquor dealer in the same place for
whites and negroes. This, of course,
has no local significance, but is of in
terest as showing that race feeling has
not disappeared in the south, the case
in point (having been raised in the city
of Knoxville, Tenn.
The commissioner says that where a
liquor dealer has separate bars on the
premises for which he has paid a
special tax, one for whites and negroes,
but has made no order excluding the
negroes from the white bar or the
whites from the negro bar, the two
bars are regarded as part of one place
of business, for which one special
stamp tax, held by him as retail dealer
there, is sufficient.
Where certificates of stock are trans
ferred to Incorporation for which GER
tificates of smaller denominations are
issued to the same parties, neither the
certificates of stock surrendered nor
the new certificates of smaller demo
limitations issued in lieu thereof, need
to be stamped. If, however. the word
trustees should be added in the new
certificates which are issued, then the
tax is imposed at the rate of two cents
per 500 or fraction thereof of the face
value of the certificates surrendered
and the stamps representing this fact
should be affixed to the certificates sur
rendered If common stock is surren-
dered and preferred stock for the part
of the whole of it is issued to another
person than the one nalAed in the
original certificate, the certificates
representing the common stock must
have stamps affixed thereto at the rate
of two cents per 500 or the fraction
thereof of the face value. The law does
not state who shall pay for the stamps
required on transfers of certificates OF
stock but leaves the question to be
settled between the parties to the
transaction.
