Real Estate Brokers to Have Their $50
Special Tax Returned.

Real estate brokers who paid the $50
Internal revenue tax short time ago
are rejoicing over the fact that their
money is to be returned. The tax has
been found unconstitutional as far as
real estate dealers are concerned
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector
Winslow got word to that effect from
Washington last Saturday. The money
will be repaid just as soon as it can be
sent from Washington.
The war revenue by which the real
estate brokers were taxed was a law
which provided that all persons who Sc
cured loans for third party were to
be taxed $50 This was interpreted as
including all those who bought and sold
real estate. Accordingly, the $50 was
collected from five or six Of the more
prominent dealers. One of the number
paid under protest.
Before the work of collection had
proceeded far, the legality of the pro
ceedins was questioned and further
collection suspended until an opinion
could be obtained from Washington.
This opinion came Saturday. Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue Wilson in
Washington has ruled, after having
taken legal advice and examined the
law involved, that only such brokers
can be taxed as deal in securities.
pdllh HoteS, pulllon or coined money,
This let's the real estate men out en-
tirely.
They cannot be lawfully taxed under
the law In question. Those having al
ready paid money into the govern
ment's Golfers will be reimbursed with
interest. But there will be a little red
tape before the payment is made The
money must be sent from Washington
to the Massachusetts collectors office
in Boston. From there it will be
shipped to Worcester.

night in Father Mathew hall for the rub

ana rogers who were on duty at the hall
had an Idea they were needed more TO
Keep The players in line after the game
was over than the audience during its
progress.
The score at the end of the second half
according to Timer J. f. Cronin of the
Lifts was to 3, but Timer J. Fl. O'Con-
Watch by claim that he was 8 half min
ute out OF the way, and blew the whistle
half minute before the time for the
second half was up
A half minute meant considerable to
the Lyceums, as they had the ball well
up towards their goal and about q second
after Timer Cronin blew his whistle
Koran of the Lyceums Gagged the ball,
This would have left the Lyceum team a
game had to stand. ]. +. Healey the
referee, was in quandary as to the re-
suit of the game and for over 10 minutes
was used as an audience by both CrOnfn
ana O'Connor, who explained their sides
of the question with their mouths In close
contact with his ear.
According to the rules of the Massa-
chusetts league board, as soon as the
whistle blows the game is ended and
nothing more shall come of 1t. and acting
on this decision of the board Referee
Aealey was obliged to let the game stand

A Joint Gymnastio Exhibition Given, 6ut It
Was Not a Championship Contest.


New Haven, CT, March 27.-The Yale
Princeton joint gymnastic exhibition to-
night, held in the Yale gymnasium, was
most successful affair, and was we'll
attended. The Princeton gymnastic
team was particularly good on fancy
gymnastics, but the Yale men had a
perfect grasp of the less ornate figures,
Features such as the blindfolded baton
swinging by c. H. Parker, and the bal
ancing trapeze by 7. ]. Snyder, We're
maryelously well executed. The
princeton gymnasts were unwilling to
make the meet in any sense a contest
IN which points should be counted for
the determination of championship,
ana the affair was an exhibition pure
ly.
During the exhibition, the champion
ships OF Yale in wrestling were deter
mined. The heavyweight match was
wrestled off in private, and was won
by Harry J. klosterman, 1900 of Port
land, Oregon. The lightweight contest
was hotly contested one, in which
Luther Wilson of New York won in .
minutes II seconds in the second bout,
the other two being draws. w. V.
Taylor, 1900, of Wakefield, Mass, won
the middleweight match in minutes
8 seconds, after two draws.

A NEW EIGHT.
Proposition to Organize One to Compete
in the Nationals.

Another project for tine formation of an
eight-oared crew is on foot which ought
to receive the encouragement of every
lover Of the sport in Worcester 1t is to
take the ajority of tine high school crew
at the close of the school year and with
a Few other young men who have roHed
IN nigh school crews of other years or
ganize an eight to row under the coIors
of the NaChusett Boa Club. the parent
organization of rowing in this city. The
crew thus formed would compete in the
national regatta and endeavor to win the
senior event, by doing which it would
probably be sent to Paris next year TO
represent the n. A. A. o.
Those who offer the suggestion do not
intend TO let the plan interfere with the
work of the high schools. The plan is to
allow the latter crew to remain d unit
until after the close OF the school wear
and not interfere with it in any way
When the school year is ended and the
boys begin their vacations. it would be
seasonable enough for the organization
of another crew.
The plan proposes to take the best men
of the present high school crew and
few men of past crews. The promoters of
the project believe a crew can be thus
obtained which will be superior to any
crew that ever came from Worcester If
such a point can be reached the crew
ought to beat every other eight in the
country at the national regatta in Boston
in July.

His Magic Touch Makes the
Blind to See, the Deaf TO
Hear, the Crippled to Wa k
and the Sick and Suffering
to Rejoice and call Down
Blessings Upon His Head.

Prof. Coffey began his course of mar
velous healing clinics and afternoon
talks in Mechanics Hall. Worcester,
es.erday afternoon at % o'clock and
will continue every afternoon this
week The hal' was we'll filled with
an appreciative audience Quite
number of remarkable cures were made
in few minutes time.
The professor is a man of fine per-
sonal appearance with a refined and
intelligent face and remarkably pleas
| ing personality.
He has the face of a kind and good
man, open, frank and rather broad. 1t
carries pleasant expression which
always meets you. His forehead is
high and features are regular He
wears d close thick beard and NOUS
tache.
He is a typical American, king of his
profession, descended from a powerful
magnetic ancestry, who have been
prominent in the revolutionary war, the
war of 1872. the Mexican war and the
war of 1861. The professor has enjoyed
a large and lucrative practice in the
principal cities of the world.
1t is true that this man does not
claim or pretend to be able to cure
everybody and every disease, but to the
person treated was cured and that this
man was bringing health and happi-
ness TO the homes of thousands of peo-
pie.
The first patient to present himself
for treatment was man of 26 years
of age who for four years has been UNI
able to move his feet or sit down with
out great pain.
After treatment he raised his hands
above his head, sat down in a chair
and stood up several times, and walked
across the stage and down the steps
to the floor of the house.
A woman to whom the professor had
to speak quite loudly to be heard was
so relieved of her deafness that she
could hear ordinary conversation quite
readily.
The third suffered from severe
shock of paralysis last August. His
right arm and leg were SO far relieved
that he could raise the hand above his
head, stamp his foot and walk across
the stage. The professor Informed him
that he could get perfectly well if he
would stop taking the strychnine which
the doctor prescrbes for him.
An elderly woman, with weak and
stun knee, was enabled to walk without
a cane, something she had not done
for three years.
woman who claimed to have been
ueaI Tor eight years, hearing no SOUND
/ with one ear at all for that time, was
helped SO that she could hear a friend
speak to her from the audience and
couId near quite distinctly with the ear
mat mad been soundless so long.
"A man paralyzed on one side so that
it was with apparent difficulty that he
could use the arm and leg, found after
treatment that he could use the limbs
readily.
Inc other cases treated were in the
same line, all the patients apparently
oeing greatly benefited.
Prof Coffey has offices at the Lincoln
/ HOUSE where those who are able ana
wiling to pay may go and be cured

Resignation Because of Disagreement.
Ithaca, n. Y, March 27.-Capt L. s.
Fisher of the Cornell varsity crew to-
day resigned from his position, and de-
cided to discontinuehis connection with
the Cornell crew. He assigned as a
reason disagreement which he had
with Coach Courtney while the crew
were training on Cayuga inlet last
Saturday. The trouble arose from q
Misunderstanding of Courtney's direc-
tons, Fisher taking out in one of the
varsity combinations crew men whom
he had been told not to take out until
certa4n Ci the older oarsmen had been
given an opportunity. Coach Courtney
criticised Fisher and accused him of
having shown Partially in his train
ing of the men. Fisher, who was act
ing as coxswaiu, left the boat, saying
that he would withdraw from the crew.
No action will be taken by the athletic
council upon Capt. Fishers resignation
until next term.
