Taxes on Call Loans RENTED.

New York, July ia discovery just
made that section four Of the measure
known as the religious bequest bill
which was passed by Congress In the
closing days Of the session and APP
proved on June ~. contains provision
for the remission OF taxes on call loans
mas caused great JOY In stock exchange
circles.
Wall Street was thrown Into a fer
ment In February last when the inter-
nal revenue commissioner, Yerkes, un-
der the date Of Feby. s. made
ruling that call loans were taxable un-
der the war revenue measure. Security
prices broke sharply on the first an
nouncement OF the commissioner rul-
ing and although this never has been
enforced, an action to determine the
legality OF the ruling is still pending.
Had the attorney general supported the
ruling Of the internal revenue commits

the courts. and the tax had been al
lowed TO stand on the statute books, the
result would have been disastrous for
many large brokerage houses OF this
city. since many Of them would have
TO pay from $4,000 TO 100000 in back
taxes.

WALLER AND DAY CASES.
Dsclavss that the Lieutenant should
Have Disobeyed the Orders
Given Him.

Washington, July 1.-THE incoming
mail brings the full printed record of
the proceedings In the courtmartial
cases of Mai l.. W. 7. Waller and
Lieut.. John Horace Arthur Day, Of the
marine corps, growing out Of the killing
of some native bearers or Cargadorres
in Samar The record shows that Maj.
Waller was acquitted Of the charge OF
murder, but that Gen. Chaffee, declar-
ing that there has been a miscarriage
of Justice in this case" disapproyes the
finding and the acquittal, with the ex-
ception that while Waller should not
have been found guilty Of murder, the
court should have included lesser Of
Tense.
Gen. Chaffee's endorsement is very
strong, and he declare that with the
exception of three who deserted, no
overt acts were committed by the Car
gadorres, but, on the contrary, those
sent to their death continued TO the
last to carry the arms ana ammuni-

der In their impassive way such SER
vices as deepens the conviction that
without their assistance many of the
marines who now survive would also
have persisted"
In the case Of Lieut.. Day. who also
was acquitted, Gen. Chaffee dsap-
proves the finding to the specification
and charge Of murder. He says that
Lieut.. Day should have known his COM
manding officer, Mai Waller, had for
three weeks been under a test OF men
tai and physical endurance such as
few men are called upon to undergo;
that he was sick with fever. his tenn
perature los, and his body covered with
painful sores. Day was the only officer
not sick on duty and In the full poses
sion OF his faculties, and his plain duty
was to counsel delay in the execution
OF orders to kill natives. Gen Chaffee
refers to the oruer OF Maj. Waller as
tainted" and says that ut should
have prompted him day TO positive
disobedience OF the same"
Notwithstanding the disapproval, the
two officers were released. as they
could not be tried twice for the same
offense.
