MISSOURI JUDGES RULING
CONTRARY TO FEDERAL RULING
ON WAR TAX.

WASHINGTON, March ia decision
was recently rendered by Judge Adams,
of the United States district court al ST.
Louis, to the effect that the government
cannot require bonds given by party
making application for a license as sa-
loonkeeper to be stamped under the war
revenue act. This decision is directly
contrary to the decision of Judge Sea-
man, of the United States district court
for the Northern district of Illinois
In view Of this clashing Of decisions,
Internal Revenue Commissioner Wilson
will hold that such bonds are taxable I'M
I'll higher court passes on the question.
The commissioner has decided that a
Decent stamp must be affixed to bills of
lading issued for foreign countries other
than Mexico and Canada, leaving the
question of the constitutionality of the
provision of the law to be decided by the
supreme court of the United States. The
contention in this case was that con-
gress could not lay duty on exports, and
that tax on bill of lading given for
export was tax on the export itself.

POLICY OF THE CAPITAL.
1T Will Be Changed as Result of
Sheldon Experiment..


TOPEKA, Kan, March 16.-As re-
suit Of the Rev. Charles M Sheldon's
experiment this week in conducting the
Topeka Capital as q Christian newspaper
there is almost certain to be a marked
change in the permanent policy and
style of the publication. To the corre-
spondent Of the Associated Press, F. O..
Poppono, principal owner of the paper,
said tonight:
When we turned the Capital over to
Mr.. Sheldon we fully expected to re-
store it to the old form, line for line,
and letter for letter, but after consider.
Ing the matter during the week we have
decided that some changes can be made
which will be advantageous. The changes
to be made will definitely be decided
upon at meeting of the owners to be
held Monday, and the new policy will
be announced in the paper Tuesday morn
ing"
1t is said that the underlying princi-
pies of Mr.. Sheldon's plan will be car
ried out, but that his personal opinions
will not be necessarily followed The
paper will remain Republican in politics,
but in other respects it is not likely
to depart radically from the Sheldon plat
form.
Mr.. Sheldon's leading editorial tomor-
row morning will be an invitation to the
readers OF the paper to express their
views regarding its future conduct The
replies will to some extent determine the
changes to DE made.
1t is understood that Mr. Sheldon will
be associated with the paper in a friend
~ way. but will have no active part in
its management
Rev. Stewart Sheldon, father of the
editor, Will contribute an article to the
paper tomorrow. advocating the abolition
OF public funeral services His dis
tinguished son will append an editorial
note indorsirg the idea.

STOCKS PROFESSIONAL.
Bradstreet's Review of the FInan-
ciaI Situation.

ciaI Situation.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
AN event like the passage and formal
enactment of the currency bill, accom-
panied as 1t is by the promise of a con-
siderable increase in the national bank
circulation, is something which the stock
market might be expected to celebrate
by an exhibition of decided bullishness.
But although the action of congress on
the measure was certain for some weeks
past there was no demonstration OF this
kind based on it, and this week the
market has been dull. professional and
at times inclined to say lower
THE undertone IS bullish, and there IS
a general feeling that speculation will
be materially benefited by the bill.
When, however, the market on last
Saturday and Monday developed consid-
cradle strength accompanied by extern
sive covering by the short interest. the
movement was abruptly checked by the
rise Of the call loan rate to per cent.
Notice was thus served on the specula-
tive community that 1t erred in disre-
garding the decrease of the bank re-
serves, and the reduction Of the surplus
to slim proportions III Saturdays bank
statement.
This showing in question merely sup
pIeHenteQ the statements for series Of
weeks past, all of them pointing to the
fact that the preparations by banks for
taking out additional circulation under
the new law have involved the purchase
OF a large amount of governments
For the balance of the week the mar
ket was very dull and professional. with
something of a disposition to sell off on
the certainty that tomorroWs bank
statement will be bad perhaps to the
extent Of wiping out the surplus reserve
and substituting Il deficit, although re.
lief is promised from the treasury's paw
ment Of premiums on bonds deposited in
exchange for new Is, and from the in
terior banks of funds to pay the gov
ernment for bonds bought for circulation
purposes"
