Ing Its Provisions
ALBANY, July THE State Tax Com
mission has been very busy the last week
answering queries from County Clerks and
others as to the proper administration OF
the new mortgage tax law, which went
into effect to-day.
With regard to one Of the most important
questions asked-whether mortgages dated
and acknowicl Gcd prior to July 1 but not
recorded until on or subsequent to that
date, should be recorded without requiring
payment Of the tax--the commission rules
that such mortgages are not subject to the
recording tax this year. They would he
subject to the regular annual tax dating
from July next.
To prevent a mortgage being antedate d
before July which Is actually. made after
July I, It Ia stated that 1t may he held that
the mortgage was made at the time OF the
ackn owledgrnent, unless the person offer
There Ia no doubt that recording officers
and their deputies may administer any
oath which Ia required for the proper exc
cution OF this law al to determining the
amount Of tax imposed upon any mortgage
and az to whether or not the same Ia subject
to tax.
Recording officers may receive payment
OF the annual tax between the first day Of
July and the first day Of October in each
year on mortgages which are not satisfied
or reduced in amount. In case a mortgage
IA made for a abort period and is not paid
when due and the tax was paid upon re-
oording the mortgage to the day on which
the mortgage was payable and on or subee-
quent to that time a release Of part Of the
mortgaged premises is rendered for record.
1t Is the duty OF the recording officer to
collect the amount Of tax due on the original
mortgage from the date to which the tax
had been previously paid to the time Of the
recording Of the release.

TWO WOMEN KILLED IN BED.
Mysterious Double Murder In Scranton
Perhaps q Negroes Work.

SCRANTON, Pa, July 1.-Two white women,
Mrs Mary jay, 81 years old, and May
Woodling. IS years old. were murdered in
a house in the Tenderloin section OF this
city last night.
In each case the woman's skull was
crushed with Ratchet. The bodies were
discovered early this morning. Both
women were fo' nd lying on the beds in
their rooms. partly dressed.
The police have no clue to the murderer,
but believe that he was negro, as the
visitors received by the murdered women
were generally negroes.
The apartments of the women were on the
second floor of three story building In
Center street. within fifty yards of police
station. The ground floor rooms are occu-
pied by the quarters Of the Eighth Ward
Colored Republican Club and billiard
room. The top floor is occupied by negro
family named Dodge
There was no evidence Of a struggle in
either ROOM a single blow from the Ratchet
in the murderers hands apparently ending
life instantly.
The crime was discovered by Police
Sergeant Saltry, who was called by Pull
man porter, L. D. Elwell, who surmised
that there was something wrong when he
could not get into the apartments where he
roomed on coming in from his trip. 1t
was unusual for him to be locked out, and,
getting no answer to his calls, he asked
the police to ascertain what was wrong;
A boy pushed over the transom released
the spring lock, and Sergt, Saltry struck
a light and went through the rooms. Both
women were found cold and lifeless, with
tho bedspreads thrown over their bodies
and the beds red with blood.
Further investigation showed that the
crime was not for robbery, for valuable
rings ard jcwelry and sums of money in
both bedrooms had not been molested.
The police think it may have been the work
of some discarded lover or else the outcome
Of some trouble between an unknown
visitor and the Woodling woman, the muir
der of the Jay woman following as necessary
to silence her evidence. The murderer and
the woman may have. spent yesterday
afternoon together, az they had evidently
drunk beer from a pail which stood on
the kitchen table,
After his crime the murderer carried the
Ratchet into a kitchen closet, where he
hid it among some clothing.

prevent lockjaw. The department believes
that many cases OF this disease we're pre-

that there ia no reason why every case
could not be prevented.
Generous supplies Of the ant-toxin pro-
