MAYOR VETOES JANUARY TAX
Decides Against Grout and In Favor OF
Tax Board.

Mayor Low. as referee, in the fght be-
tween Comptroller Grout and the Tax Com
missioners over the bill to change the date
for the payment OF taxes from Oct.
to Jan. 1, decided yesterday in favor Of the
Commissioners.
He returned to Albany without his ap-
prevail the bill which was drawn at the
suggestion Of Mr.. Grout. Until the last
day or two the Mayor had let It be UNDER
stood that he favored Mr.. CIRCUITS plan.
In memorandum to the Senate the Mayor
Gays that the Tax Commissioners assert
that the bill will lead to much litigation.
and for that reason he thinks that radical
changes In the city's method Of collecting
taxes should not be made until prolonged
discussion and careful amendment OF the
bill have reduced differences OF opinion to
differences that relate to policy only.
Mr.. Low works 1t out that because OF the
amount of assessed valuation the city would
lose under the proposed ball. the tax rate in
1905 would have 10 be u points higher TO
make up for the loss, and consequently the
Is not worth what must be paid for It.
Comptroller Grout said yesterday that
he had had the bill drawn by the Law De-
partment. and that 1t was approved by that
department, as well az by the Tax Commits
sioners, before it's Introduction. He added:
The press and the public generally have
commended the purpose OF the bill. and the
Mayor has been of the same view as myself
on that subject. The particular feature OF
making the 1905 assessment roll duplicate
OF the roll Of 1904, which Is the basis OF all
the alleged legal defects, was the suggestion
Of one Of the Tax Commissioners In confer
ence last December

TAXING LOSS IN SPIRITS.
supreme Court Reverses Practice Of In.
ternal Revenue Bureau.

WASHINGTON, April I'm declining to
hear the appeal OF the Government from
the decision Of the Circuit Court of Appeals
IN favor Of Alfred r. Mullins. the Supreme
Court in effect reverses a long established
practice OF the Internal Revenue Bureau
in the matter of taxing the outage or loss
In spirits through evaporation while in
bonded warehouses.
Mullins was the surety for the taxes on
ffy-eight barrels Of whiskey bought in
1883 by the Government. When the whis-
key was regauged for delivery to the Gov
eminent il was found that the packages
lad lost through evaporation 260 gallons
since their deposit In the warehouses.
The Government pays no tax on the
spirits 1t buys, but as the law provides that
The tax shall be paid on the amount which
goes into warehouses suit was brought
against the surety for the tax on the 2e0
gallons which had evaporated.
The District Court found for Mullins
and the Circuit Court Of Appeals affirmed
that finding, but the Government carried
the case finally TO the Supreme Court, which
Yesterday refused TO review the conclusions
OF the courts below.
Walter Evans, as District Judge, over
rlled his own action as Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue.

NOT ALL FOR CATHOLIC UNION.
But the Majority at Archbishop's Meeting
for Q Giant Federation.

The prevailing sentiment favored q
national federation Of Catho lie societies
at the meeting called by Archbishop Farley
at the see house last night to consider that
subject, but the proposal was not unani-
mously acceptable.
The Archbishop presided and opened
the meeting announcing its object as to
consider the advisability Of federating the
Catholic societies Of men In the archdiocese
and Of affiliating later with the proposed
American national federation.
The weight Of opinion was 20 far In favor
OF federation that il was decided that all OF
the societies in the archdiocese should be
invited to discuss the matter and send
delegates to take definite action at q meet
ing to be held at the Catholic Club on some
date after May Is.
Archbishop Farley in his address said
that he saw great advantages In federation.
He suggested that this passage from the
Pope's encyclical on Christian Democ-
racy' should he taken as the motto OF
federation:
Our are exacts lofty ideals generous de-
It Is byea perfect submission TO the directions
OF the Holy See that this discipline will be
strengt hened. for II IL the best means OF caus-
ing to disappear or at least OF diminishing
the evil which party opinions, p produce In
unit ing all our efforts for attaining that higher
end. namely, the triumph OF Jesus Christ and
His Church. Such is the duty OF Catholics.
II was announced that the national con-
ference OF Catholics to be held in Atlantic
City TO discuss federation had been post
poned until the first week in July.

BRIEFS AGAINST p. II. X. TUNNEL.
Authority OF Rapid Transit Board and
Appellate Diyision Questioned.

The commission appointed by the APP
pellate Division Of the Supreme Court
to pass upon the tunnel plans Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad held it's last public hear
ing yesterday in the Office Of John j. De-
lany, q William street. Three lawyers,
representing property owners. filed briefs
in opposition to the scheme.
William A. burlington, representing DR..
Frederick r. Sturgis Of 10 West Thirty
second street, declared in his brief that IL
was a question whether public convenience
demanded the construction OF the tunnel
when II per cent. Of the properly owners
along the line have not given their consents
He said there was strong probability that
his clients house and quiet would be
imperilled. =,
the Church Of st. John the Baptist, on West
Thirty-frst street, declared in his objection
that the present necessity for such tunnel
had not been shown He alleged that the
construction would disturb the church
and the parochial school connected with II
first street directly In front Of the church.
Mr.. Congdon declared that the Board OF
Rapid Transit's authorization for the con-
struction and operation OF the tunnel was
unauthorized by law and is Intellectual
and void 10 far as it authorizes the con-
struction OF a tunnel railroad to be con-
nected with any other railroad within
this or any other State for the transporta-
ton Of passengers from within the city to
point outside.

BAD FEELING AROUSED IN WASH

Owing to Opposition Of Metropolitan

Eject on Lord RobertsI visit-seme
OF Cerbins Friends May Leave Club.
WARRINGTON, April IA sensation has
been caused In official and social circles here
by the withdrawal Of the application OF
Major-Gen Henry O. Corbin, Adjutant-
General Of the army. for admission to
membership In the Metropolitan Club.
the principal social organization OF Wash
ington. which numbers among Its MEM
bers President Roosevelt. Secretary Hay.
other members Of the Cabinet. Am
bassadors and Ministers, Admiral Dewey
and many distinguished men In civil and
military iife. The withdrawal Of Gen.
Corbin's application was brought about
by opposition to his admission. which the
earnest efforts Of many influential friends
were not able to overcome.
They had also a particular purpose In
view. They deemed 1t very desirable that
Gen. Corbin should be In q position to ex-
tend the courtesies OF the club to Field
Marshal Lord Roberts on his forthcoming
visit to Washington, when Gen. Corbin
will return the courtesies shown him by
Lord Roberts In London last year.
II Ii reported that as a result OF the opposi-
ton in the club to Gen. Corbin, a number OF
army officers and civilians who are MEM
bers will resign.
The causes which produced the en-
barrassing position in which Gen. Corbin
has been placed date back many years.
Once before his name bad been put up for
membership at the Metropolitan Club, but
he failed to get the necessary number Of
votes in the board Of governors. This
rejection of his application was produced
mainly by the charge that he had been
expelled from a club in Chicago.
Gen. Corbin's enemies industriously cir
culated this story, and It was revived In con-
nection with his second application for
membership. This charge was not pressed
to any extent. however, In the recent OPP
position to Gen. Corbin. the main objection
tn his election being that he was personally
disliked by number Of members OF the
club.
When Gen. Corbin was seen by a re-
porter Of THE Sun to-day he declined
To discuss the matter. IF there Ia any
thing TO be said" he remarked, lit must
come from a member OF the club"
He did consent however, to say, In refer
ence to the report that he had been dis
missed from club in Chicago that although
he had been a member OF many clubs he
had never been subjected to disciplinary
action by any OF them, having always been
a member in good standing in each and
every one.

Wallace H. Hills, the present chief clerk

v.suIydroY. April 7.-Another chapter
"a. added to-day to the rapidly increasing
'aoords in the Post Office De partment
.o.ndals. when j. p. Bingham, OF the Arm
:, bingham 4 Co.. OF Philadelphia, filed
.b.roes with Acting Postmaster General
WINE against j. M. Lewis, chief Of the
rtusion of Supplies Of the Post Office De-
parment.
Mr. Bingham alleges, in brief, that no
ho,est contractor has had any chance
,h,,eyer TO secure contracts from the
.,nply division under Mr.. Lewis's control;
,ha Herman Baumgarten Of this city, a
manufacturer of rubber stamps and printers
sunpies, gave Mr.. Lewis commissions on
ali purchases; that Baumgarten was able TO
sscure inside information which enabled
him to put in fractionally lower bids than
other firms and thereby secured contracts
in an illegal manner In addition, Mr..
Bingham alleges that the supplies furnished
10 the Post Office Department by Baum
sar,en were far below the standard set by
The specifications, and that Chief Lewis
nassed these supplies az Of the best quality.
There are now seven distinct and sepa-
r,te invest cations going on in the depart
ment, which require the services Of over q
DOZEN inspectors and which involve nearly
Twelve important bureaus and many high
officials Of the service.
Postmaster General Payne's return is
awaited with impotence in all quarters
Affected by the scandals. as there Ia feeling
Of uncertainty as to what course he will
pursue.
The wild stories that have been circu-
lated ndustriously that Mr.. Payne was
practically shanghaied on board the DOL
phin by the Presidents orders, or in other
words, that Secretary Moody's trip was
planned in order to take him out OF WASH
ing,on while the Investigations were In
progress, are declared arrant nonsense
BY Mr.. Payne's friends.
Charges have also been made against
{. T. Rand, the Postmaster Generals con-
tidential secretary, alleging that he Is the
promoter OF a copper mining company,
knd that "a ring of influential officials,
pf which he is one. have used their official
places to induce employees OF the postal
kervice to subscribe to the company's
stock. The existence Of such a copper
mining company is acknowledged by
officials Of the Department who are officers
Of the company. but they insist that there
has never been any attempt to float stock
In the Department OF induce clerks to sub
scribe for shares by means Of threats or
promises OF favors.
Mr.. Rand achieved considerable notoriety
last winter during the coal famine as chair
man OF board which awarded department
coal contracts to firm Of which one Of the
department officials was a member. The
bids were awarded in a slightly irregular
manner, but it was afterward explained that
this was because Of the scarcity Of coal
