Which May Cost Many Amer

NEW YORK, September 14-Whether
ject to the British income tax is a ques-
ton which is today interesting the holders
of such securities and the mana cement of
the local branch Of the Yokohama Specie
Bank.
During the Russe-Japanese war there was
foated in America a series Of imperial Jap
anese per cent bonds. aGgreSating $50. 00O.-
600. These bonds were redeemable at par
at the option of tn, japanese government
after May. 1907. \ few months ago the
japanese government took advantage of
this option and announced that the bonds
would cease bearing interest September l.,
and would be redeemed in cash or replaced
with bonds running until 19iI. bearing in
tereSt at the rate of per cent. large
proportion of the American owners of the
6 per cent bonds accepted the per cent
bonds in exchange The new bonds were
not ready for delivery. but certificates is
sued by PARIS Bank in London. fiscal
agents for the Japanese government, were
issued for them.
Held Out S Per Cent
Inc nfSt interest coupons are now que,
and holders of the certificates who have
presented them for payment at the local
branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank here
were surprised when per cent was de-
Quoted from the interest This amount. It
was explained. was for the British income
tax.
Protests were unavailing the managers
of the bank stating that they were
obliged to retain that amount until the ques-
ton of whether the income tax would be
collected by the British government was
decided. In case the tax was not collected
the amount retained would be refunded
May Be Way Out.
1t was explained at the Yokohama Specie
Bank today that the certificates issued in
place of the bonds by the London agents
of the Japanese government are in effect
British securities. and perhaps subject to
income tax. AS soon the bonds them
selves are received they will. Of course be
Japanese securities and not subject to the
tax. 1t is also stated that any holder of
the securities who will go before British
consul and m&ke affidavit that he Is an
American citizen will at once be relieved
from the tax.
The entire matter will be taken up with
the British government for adjudication,
and the bank officials have little doubt
that it will be settled in a manner salts
factory to the American holders of the
bonds.

Cincinnati Crime Two Years Ago.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. September 14.-Chryst

attributed to Oliver Haugh of Dayton, who

father, mother and sister.
Shortly after the Cincinnati murder
man, said to be Koehl, left Cincinnati and

DOESN'T THIS BEAT ALL?
LOCAL INSURANCE OFFICIALS
ARE JUST WAKING UP
To the knowledge of the Post Card
Insurance Scheme-Company Is
Breaking the Law.

Inc insurance policy post card, one Of
the latest and most novel creations in the
postcard fad, and by which the sender's
life is insured for twenty-four hours for )
cents. has been called to the attention Of
Thomas E. Drake, superintendent of insur-
anco. and it is likely the life of this neat
scheme will be short.
The insurance laws and regulations in
the District of Columbia are stringent, and
Supt. Drake says the form of insurance
that can be bought with scent post card
does not comply with them When the
| matter was called to his attention yester-
day afternoon. he said frankly it was some
thing braud-new to him So he directed
one of his assistants to investigate and one
of the cards purchased at an f street
store. This official learned that the post
card insurance policy is the market in
the name OF the Postal Insurance Cor
poration of Lynchburg, Va" and tomorrow
morning Mr. Drake will ask for an exp.ana-
ton from this concern.
Unique But Illegal.
In speaking of the scheme Mr. Drake
pronounced 1t novel and unique and pos
sibly legitimate. in that the company may
be perfectly sincere. But aside from the
question of the schemes character. he says
the company Is operating in the District of
Columbia without a license and without
having gone through the formality re-
quired of insurance companies here. The
law is not only strict in this sense but
provides heavy fines and long prison
fences for violations. and 1t may be that
the genius who contributed to the postcard
craze this novel means of life insurance
may fird himself up against 1t before Supt
Drake gets through.
These insurance post cards for sale
at a number of stores around town. When
the buyer pays his > cents and gets the
card ne finds the insurance policy with full
directions attached to it. He detaches the
policy, and after filing it out as directed
malls the post card as he would any ordi-
nary card. On the back of the policy Is
printed an agreement that should the pur-
chaser die within twenty-four hours after
mailing the card the insurance company
will pay his beneficiary or family $500.
Provision Is made for accidents In such
cases the holder of the policy being al
lowed a certain percentage of the total.
The consideration is the cents paid for
the post card and the signing of the In
sured's name underneath the policy agree
Inent.
Things That Must Be Done.
Supt. Drake explained that before the
company can legally sell these cards in the
District 1t must produce its charter by
Laws. constitution, names of officers and
directors. amount of capital and annual
report, as well as answer several hundred
pertinent questions and pay more than
500 into the District treasury. None of
these things has been DONE

Do You Open Your Mouth

Like young bird and gulp down what

Or, do you want to know something Of the

Most intelligent and sensible people

DR.. Pierce believes they have a perfect
right to insist upon such knowledge. So he
publishes, broadcast and on each bottle

are made are studied and understood the
more will their superior curative virtues
be appreciated.
