QUESTIONS REGARDING THE TAX
THREE FIRMS ASK THAT THE MONEY THEY
HAVE PAID BE REFUNDED.

Three OF the five firms who applied on Monday
a g. Wood Deputy Collector OF Internal Rev
erue for the Second District. for bucket shop
licenses. asked yesterday that their applications be
Withdrawn and the fees which they had paid be re-
rurned. They had applied through misunder-
standing OF the requirements of the amended Rev
law and when they were informed by coun-
sci that they not only not liable TO the tax
but doing something which would injure their
business regulations they made haste 10 ask for
abe return Of their money.
Deputy Collector Wood WAS surprised when rep
resentatives Of these firms appeared to register on
Monday as ne believed them to be in good stand
ing. The firms had given the subject so little
thought that they had not realized that they were
registering themselves breakers Of the law. Mr..
Wood said that he did not think that he would
receive any other applications. as the bucket shops
would endeavor to have the appearance Of doing a
STRAIGHTFORWARD business and so escape the tax
Several questions have arisen regarding the
bucket shop amendment For instance: Shall a
broker who is doing legitimate business, ana
who has never been regarded as bucket shop

cinnati Interview.
Criticism OF Navy Branch Of the
Service Will Not Be
Tolerated.
President Roo sevelt Asks for the
Resignation Of Maclay.
Alleged Historian.

washington, Dec. 2l.-Bulletin: Sec
retary Root has called upon Lieut.. Gen.
Miles, commanding the army. for an ex-
PLANTATION of his interview, printed in
Cincinnati newspaper, warmly COM
nlending the opinion OF Dewey in the
schley case.
Root had long conference with the
president tocay about Miles interview
and the action decided upon will be an
nounced late this afternoon. The posi-
Hion of the administration is that moth
1ng that tends to revive the Sampson
Echley controversy will be tolerated in
any officer OF the army or navy. In
the same connection action will be TAX
en- an the case of E. S. Maclay, whose
history OF the naval engagements of
the Spanish war; attracted much atten-
fion. Maclay is now employed in the
Brooklyn navy yard.
Criticism of another branch of the
service is declared here to be decidedly
cut of good taste and military etiquette
by an officer of the highest rank, and
that 1t is not surprising if the secretary
OF the navy calls the attention of the
secretary of war to the gross improprie-
ty which the head Of the army has COM
rhitted. The lieutenant general has
given an endorsement to the Judgment
OF Admiral Dewey, and gone far beyond
that point. Admiral Dewey expressed
the view that Schley was lin absolute
command and entitled to the credit due
TO such commanding officer for the
glorious victory which resulted in the
total destruction OF the Spanish ships. .
Gen. Miles declares in addition, II have
no sympathy with the efforts which
have been made to destroy the honor OF
an officer under such circumstances
This declaration was scattered over
The country from Cincinnati recently
thru the press associations. It is con-
strued by navy officers to be charge

Schley. The friends of Admiral Schley

Washington. Now understand the sec
retary has decided against Dewey and
adverse to Schley's being in command at
Santiago, and virtually in favor of
Sampson, without even permitting us to
produce before him the conclusive proof,
admitted at the hearing by consent, that
the command practically and officially
devolved upon Schley. The whole pro-
ceeding is too arbitrary and tyrannical
for me now to discuss. / really wonder
whether the people who live under free
institutions will tolerate the exercise of
such despotic measures. You ask me
what our next step will be. i do not
know unless the president intervenes.
There is power in the courts to compel
the secretary to file the dissenting opin-
ion of Dewey, whether he agreed With it
or not. We will determine next week
what proceedings we will adopt

FINDS KEY TO LOST ART.
D. A. NicoIl Discovers How to Dissolve
Glass and Enamel.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 21.-David A.
Nicoll OF this city claims to have dis
covered process for dissolviny glass
and to have recovered one of the lost
arts of enameling possessed by the an
cient Egyptians. BY means of chem
ical solution Nicoll has succeeded in
rendering glass soluble and has con-
ver.sd it into a liquid form which can
be applied to articles and surfaces with
a brush like paint or any other pig
ment.
Nicoll today exhibited large white
bathtub at his house which he had
painted with the liquid glass. The tub
glistened like crystal and had sur
face as smooth and as hard as win

Nicoll showed a gill Of liquid solu-
tion in a pint flask which he said rep
resented u quantity of glass equal to
that in the bottle. The solution he ap-
piled to a sheet of paper and 1t hard

hard brilliant surface. When the, paper
on which the enamel was placed was
doubled the solution broke like glass.

GRAZING LAND LEASES .
Bill introduced in Congress to Protect
Rights of Freeholders.

Rights of Freeholders.
Washington, Dec. N.-Congressman
Bowersock, of Kansas. has introduced a
bill in the house providing for a radical
change in the method of leasing public
lands for grazing purposes. The bill is
designed to protect the rights of free
holders in the vicinity of grazing lands
and to give them the preference over
nonresident leasers.
The bill provides that all public lands
west of the Tooth principal meridian,
practically the public lands west of the
Missouri river, shall be leased for stock
grazing purposes, subject to existing
homestead and mineral entry laws. 1t is
provided that the leases shall not be
uniform rate of cents per acre per an
num- Preference shall be given to own
ers of cultivated lands for leasable lands
abutting their freeholds, in proportion
of ten acres Of lease to one Of freehold
Like preference shall be given to stock
growers who are also freeholders This
shall apply only to counties in which
stock habitually ranges. In case there
is not sufficient leasable land to allow
the proportion Of ten acres of lease to
one of freehold, then the leasable land
shall be prorated among the freehold
ers.
Another preference is made to stock
growers who have stock already actual
ly on the range 1t is also provided that
when the state leases lands the bona
fide holders of such leases shall be bene-
ficiaries of the preferenc provided for.
stock growers. who are also freeholders.
provided that such state leaseholds shall
not be held by any one person in tracts
exceeding 160 acres in one body.
1t is provided that all leases shall run
for ten years. with preference of re-
newal to holders for another ten years.
1t is also provided that the funds accru-
ing from the leasing of land in excess OF
the cost of administration of the act
shall be held in fund for the reclamation
of the lands by irrigation.
Col John P. Irish. of California, is in
Washington. and will urge the passage
of the bill offered by Mr.. Bowersock.
The measure has been approved by the
American Cattle Growers Association.
and will be urged by the live stock in
terests of the west.
