TRANSFER TAX SUCCESS.
Reuenue from 1t Estimated at
about 50, 900 900.

Albany July e-Returns from the first month
IN which the new stock transfer tax has been in
operation indicate that the revenue thus de-
rived will be greater than even the most san
gline advocates OF the law expected While the
exact figures viii not be known until the Bank
OF Manhattan. the States fiscal agent files its
report on July 15. Controller Kelsey said to-day
that returns from the sale OF stock transfer
stamps In June would aggregate 100000. Up
70 June 21 the sales reached $685. 600. on this
basis the annual revenue from the tax will equal
s5,oo0.o0O. which is 100000 in excess of esti-
mates made while the law was under discussion.
There were only twenty-five days in June on
which stock transactions were possible and the
month was a comparatively dull one. Controller
Kelsey said to-day that the Bureau of Stock
Transfer Tax, which he is organizing in his de-
partment, had not been able to administer the
statute in its application TO so-caIled bucket
shops.
The Controllers office received protests
against the imposition of the tax from about
every member OF the New York Stock Ex-
change, but State officials say that the manner
in which the law has been obeyed by the brokers
has been admirable. While they have reserved
70 themselves all rights in case the statute i'm
poses an unconstitutional tax, they have not
sought in any way TO evade payment. As vet
no case, Of which the State Controller has
knowledge, has arisen to test the validity of
the act.

GLOVER IN NO DANGER.
Er-Judge Herr1ck Says the Case
against Mining Expert Is Weak.

J. o. Glover the mining expert for whose ar
rest warrant was recently issued in Mexico,
according TO the statement Of Colonel William
c. Greene. is in no danger Of being taken into
custody. MI Glover had made affidavit in
which he had given an unfavorable opinion on
the Greene Consolidated Gold Company, and
Colonel Greene had charged that many Of the
points made in that sworn report were misstate-
ments An opinion was submitted to the COM
mittee of directors Of the Greene Gold Com
pany appointed 10 proceed against Glover yes
terday by ex-Judge D. Cady Herrick, who ad-
vised them that. even though Glover's report
might have been contrary to the facts the cir
cumstance that it was in the form OF affi
davit did not constitute crime under the New
York statutes, as 1t came under the head Of
voluntary oaths." not authorized or required
by law.
Ex-Judge Herrick also referred to the fact
that a great many of the statements in the affl
davit were made upon information and belief,
Mr. Glover's informants being people outside OF
the United States. whose names are not given,
and remarked that it would be impossible for
the committee to prove that Glover did not re-
ceive the information which he said he had re-
ceived from these people, or 10 prove that he
did not believe It.
After receiving this opinion from counsel
Colonel Greene abandoned the idea OF pressing
the perjury charge, but said that he hoped to
be able to get redress through the law which
makes it q misdemeanor to utter false state
ments to depress the value Of stocks.
E. B. Tustin. Of No. AZ Broadway, formerly
treasurer OF the Greene Consolidated Gold Com
pany. said yesterday that Mr.. Glover In
his, Mr.. Tustin's. Office. in company with three
other mining experts, who had made reports
similar to Glover's. Asked why he had had Mr..
Glover examine and report upon the Greene
Gold property, Mr.. Tustin said:
I vas director OF the company and wanted
TO know just where I stood in case a suit should
be brought against the directors for paying out
dividends that had not been earned You know
that the courts now hold directors responsible
for things done that way. and I wanted TO see
Just what shape things were in. So had this
investigation made and it resulted in Glovers
report.
report has been current recently that a suit
was soon to be brought some ground against
the Greene companys directors. the meagre in
formation about the principals and lawyers sug-
gesting that some Of the Greene stockholders
were associated with men prominently identified
with the Amalgamated Copper Company. On
the curb market, where the Greene issues are
traded in, those interested in the stocks have
heard of this threatened suit.
