has the power to dismiss or suspend ca
dets upon recommendation of the super
intendent. A board of officers in this
particular case was appointed which
made thorough examination of the dis

tions to the secretary of war and upon
this report the secretary acted.

Making It Lively for Bucket

PAYMENT OF THE TAX
Forthcoming 2 ular From Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue.
DISTRAINING ORDERS SOUGHT
Office Fixtures and Other Personal
Property May BE Seized
and Sold.

From The journal Bureau, Room 20, Posi-
Building, HashiRgto'a.
Washington, May 22.-There is trouble
ahead for the bucket shop men of the
| country, Unless, between now and the first
of June they pay the tax which was
levied against them by congress last
winter. Before the end of this month Mr..
Yerkes, commissioner of internal revenue,
will issue an order directing the collect
ors of revenue in the several districts of
the country to proceed at once to collect
the tax, securing distraining order from
the judge of the nearest federal court in
order to expedite the work.
Very many of the bucket shop men of
the country are ashamed of the business
in which they are engaged, and when,
shortly after the new tax went into effect
deputy collectors called to see them, de-
clined to admit that they came within the
laws meaning. The deputies thereupon,
acting under orders from Washington.
proceeded to make up, each in his own
district, list of firms supposed to be, in
the bucket shop business. These lists
have been in the hands of Mr.. Yerkes for
several weeks, and the order which he
will issue Will contain the names of all
firms reported by the deputies.
If after the first of June there is fur
ther objection to paying the tax, the dis
training order will permit the immediate
seizure and sale of Office fixtures and any
other personal property which may be
found In the possession of the dealers
From this process there is no appeal The
bucket shop men, if they are wise will
pay the tax when the collectors come
around next time, and then begin suit in
the federal court to compel the govern
ment to refund the several amounts
Heretofore the burden of proof has been
upon the government, but under the new
arrangement IL will be upon the bucket
shop men themselves, who will be required
TO satisfy the courts that they are not en-
gagged in the business. The shifting of the
burden Of proof is an important matter
and places the bucket shops at a decided
disadvantage.
II Minneapolis is like other American
cities, there are many 5uciet- shop deaf
ers there who have refrained from having
the tax, claiming that they do not come
within the meaning Of the law. and who
have hoped to place the burden of final
PROOF upon the government These men
are now properly booked" in Commis-
sioner Yerkes' Office as bucket shop oper
ators, and their names will be included

uty take hold of safe, chairs, desks. sheIy

by the extreme thinness Of the earth
covering the Braine lie Comte tunnel
and wonders why the common sense of
the engineers who made the line did
not direct them to continue the cutting

The mystery is thus explained: When

engineers over to England to acquire
experience in construction Of the new
iron highways, and on their return
they were instructed to lay out the
first railway in that enterprising little
kingdom. The work was accordingly
