They Want Him to Protect Them from the
Tax Man.

The part Of the Corporation Counseis oIilce
that has to do with the collection of arrears OF
taxes is confronted with exceedingly live
Chinese question. Now Jung, Wo Hing wing
and No Ching Wing are in arrears for personal
taxes Martin Sake. in charge OF the Arrears
Bureau has had turned over to him the tax
arrears charged up against these three. These
merchants can talk Chinese so fast when a
question in English is put to them that only
Chinaman can understand them. Postmaster
Van Cott is likely to be dragged into the effort
to collect personal taxes from Chinese pluto
Gratis. The Cinnamon think that Mr. Van Cott
is about the biggest official in the city. He IS
the one they say, that takes care of the drafts
they send to China. and he brings them from
the fatherland ginger nuts and newspapers
When any Cinnamon gets tangled up ABOUT
legal or money matters he goes to Postmaster
Van Cott and tells him his troubles. 1t was said
yesterday that the three merchants who have
fallen into the clutches of the Tax Arrears Bu-
reau have appealed to Mr.. Van Cott TO prevent
the tax man from getting his pay. The China
town nabobs who like the " Mclean man., en-
joy the luxury of being taxed for personal taxes,
are on the tax books as follows; Wo Hing

Mr. SAKE yesterday. "and when they came back
they were all muttering Chung-wing -kow-
