MORE SPRINGER HEIRS.
One Man Who Has Spent Between $500
and 5000 on the Quest.

More Springer heirs.
William b. Springer of Hagerstown, Md,
md Jacob o. Mohler of Richland Station,
Lebanon county, Pa, were recent visitors
70 this city to look into the claim Of an
Interest IN large portion of the city of
Wilmington by reason of relationship TO
Charles Christopher Springer. This claim
10 based upon an alleged lease by Springer
which Is said to have expired years ago
Although many Springers have worked
upon the case since then, they are no neRrer
their goal now than they were at the start,
Tor no record of any sreh lease exists, and
the,r only tangible contemplation is as to
what might have been.,'
Mr.. Mohler Is an elderly man, who has
spent between $500 and $500 in his effort to
secure share of the Springer estate. He
has gone back farther than the Wilmington
clalm. Tor he has tried to get part of the
estate OF Charles and Lawrence Springer in
Stockholm, Sweden, which, of course ante
oates the claim to Charles property here.

GLU77OMY

Is more common than we may think. If
we define gluttony as eating beyond the
body's need of sustenance and beyond
the stomach's capacity for digestion and
assimilation of food. That is a fair
definition, and it fastens the name glut-
ton on many a person who would resent
the term as an insult The fact of this
gluttony is marked by its consequences
The overloaded stomach becomes dis
eased. The popular term for the condi-
ton is vweak " stomach. The vweak !"
stomach fails in furnishing adequate nu-
triton for the body, and soon the vweak-
ness +" spreads from the stomach to other
organs.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
enables the perfect assimilation of food,
by which alone the health and strength
of the body is maintained.

BONA FIDE DEALERS EXEMPTED
How New York Men View the Wnr
Revenue Amendment.

NEW YORK. Jan. 31.-As it was read in
this city today by men familiar with the
business Of stock dealing, the amendment
to the war revenue measure reported by
the Senate Finance Committee. seems to
have been designed with the express pur-
pose OF bringing bucket shops within the
tax law.
By the terms Of the amendment. as these
men read II, so-called Legitimate houses"
or those actually dealing in securities on
the exchanges are exempted from its pro-
visions by tho phrase land without bona
fide transaction on such board OF trade or
exchange"
One man cited the evident injustice Of
taxing men engaged in legitimate sales and
purchases. and permitting the paper deal
ings of the bucket shops 20 escape sharing
the burdens Of taxation. He surmised that
perhaps bucket shop dealings we're ap-
parent rather thar real, and that It had
been determined so to frame a section Of
the law as TO make any more escapes OF
this kind impossible.
The requirement that set of books be
kept and that these be open to inspection
by the Internal Revenue Department would
bring the bucket shops. under whatever
name conducted within the operation Of
Daratively easy. The amendment. ii may
be noticed, makes bucket shop transactions
in bonds also subject TO the tax. although
under the law as it stands transactions
in bonds are not taxed.

COUNT OF THE ELECTORAL VOTE
A Resolution Adopted Directing the
Manner of Announcement.

Directly after the assembling of the
House of Representatives yesterday Mr.
Dalzell. from the Committee on Rules.
presented privileged report from that
committee on Senate concurrent resOlu-
tion No. 81, respecting the counting OF the
electoral vote in the House on February
13. at ! o'clock. The concurrent resolu-
tiOn was so amended as to provide that
the telers shall announce the result of
the vote, taking away from the President
pro tempore of the Senate the power TO
declare independently OF the tellers who
has been elected President or Vice Presl-
dent
Mr.. Dalzell explained the purport of the
resolution as amended. He said that prior
to 1877, the count OF the electoral vote.
as provided for under the Constitution,
had been conducted in conformity with
Joint rule OF the two houses. This had
been found defective.
The Senate resolution he said, was
identical in terms with those under which
the votes of 1880 and 1884 were counted.
The resolution provided for declaration
of the result by The presiding officer In
1887 however, said Mr.. Dalzell Congress
passed law to regulate the counting of
the vote When that law was under con

sideration it contained a phrase author
izing the presiding officer TO declare the
result. That was stricken out by the
House, leaving the result to be declared
By the count itself. rather than to per-
init it to depend on the judgment OF the
officer. The law required him to state
the count only. For some reason OF over
sight or carelessness. the resolutions pro-
yiding for the count of the vote OF 1883,
1892, and 1896 had followed the terms of
those previously in force and the Commit
tee on Rules at a full meeting had unani-
mOusly decided that the provisions of the
law should be followed. 1t was the judg-
ment of members of the Senate who have
examined the subject that the resolution
amended as proposed by the Committee
on Rules should be adopted. The report
was supported by Messrs. Richardson and
Bailey, minority members of the Commit
tee on Rules and then the substitute was
agreed to.
