shows a surplus Of a little more than
four million dollars, butit~is not calling
anybody's attention to the fact that
more than three millions Of that sur
plus came from the sale Of the old

II Is Claimed at Washington Stamp Tax
viii Be Put On Machines.

The nlckel-ln- the-slot machine swind-
lers who reaped quite harvest recently
at Narragansett Pier. have raided Bris-
tol and got at the niclxels from dozen
machines by using the counterpart of
five-cent pieces i'm shape. Every slot
machine in saloons on Thames street
was touched with quantities OF these
"slugs." cut with die just the exact
shape and size of a five-cent piece The
metal resembles aluminium i'm color, but
is somewhat heavier. Each of the ma
chimes lost from S. to SEQ.
IL is now stated according TO a dis
patch from Washington: 1T is pro-
posed TO place a stamp tax on all slot
machines in which there is any element
OF chance. Ii has been found that the
manufacture OF these machines has at
tanned gigantic proportions. In each OF
them the percentage OF profits TO the
proprietor is enormous. and the tax
would not be oppressive. OF course. this
would not strike those machines which
dispense chewing gum, for in them
them there is no element of chance. and
the gum already pays a government
tax"
In the meantime the owners of the
slot machines are worried, and do not
see how they are going TO circumvent
the men who have devised the profit
able CHUNKS Of lead.
