IMPORTANT TO
THE LOCAL CLUBS
Liability Of Organizations
For Special Cove nment
Tax Explained

Robert Williams. Jr.. acting commits
sioner Of internal revenue. has just issued
a ruling on the question of the liability Of
clubs so far as securing the special liquor
tax issued by the government is con-
cerned. The ruling is Of importance to tho
many clubs in this city that pay the
special tax.
The ruling cites that additional special
tax liability is incurred by unincorporated
clubs every time the membership is in
creased, whether by one or more mem
bers. Under this runng only incorporated
clubs can continue to do business with
one tax of $50 annually. Unineorpora.ed
clubs must pay tax every time they .n-
crease their membership, for the balance
of the year
A copy Of the ruling was received by the
internal revenue officers in this city to-
day and it can be seen by anyone who de-
sires to read it at the internal revenue
office in the Federal building.
The demand for the special tax is more
brisk and it is expected that the $50
or more who are liable. will pay their
money before July l. when the time ex-
pires.

.DASHIELL CASE
FALLS AGAIN
Court Holds That Husband is
Not Bound to Support
His Wife

General Sessions Court this morning
dismissed the States complaint Of non
support against James l.. Dashiell, the
well known business man. The court
held that the case did not come under
the non-support statute in view of tes
timony that had been porduced at the
hearing in the divorce application OF
Dashiell against his wife, which was
refused by Superior Court early this
year.
Mrs. Cora A Dashien was In cous.
this morning as the prosecuting wi.
ness against Mr.. Dashiell. John w
Brady represented her. Robert II
Harman appeared for Mr.. Dashiell. Nj
Harman at once moved for a dismis-
sal Of the case in view OF the test
mony produced at the divoA,e case NJ.
Brady opposed the motsn on the
ground that divorce had bene refused
Mr.. Dashiell and that as he is still the
husband of Mrs. Dashieu the statute
required that he support her. Tha
court, however, took a different view
from Mr.. Brady and dismissed the
complaint.
Up until the time of the dismissal
OF the Dashiell divorce case. AIr. Dasn
iell paid his wife $50 a month alimony
The dismissal Of the case, however.

ADDICKS NOT
FREE OF CLAIMS
Charles 5. IiinChman, Who
Took Them Over Hasn't
Settled With Receiver

George Wharton Pepper, receiver of
the Bay state Gas Company, has been
somewhat disappointed IN his expecta-
ton of adding 100000 to the cash which
he is holding. in return for an assign
ment of the claims which the company
has against J. Edward Addicxs.
Several months ago Mr.. Pepper. by
permission Of the court. entered into an
agreement with harles S. Hlnchman.
under which he was to receive the sum
of 100000 and in rturn was to make
an assignment to Hinchman of the
claims against Addicks, amounting TO
Sl,40O,OOO
Since the arrangement was made,
there has been a complete change ih
the Bay State as situation. II was
thought that Mr.. Hinchman and certain
others who had been allied with him
in the past might enter ;he Bay State
Gas board, Instead. Thomas w. Law
son, Of Boston. was elected president.
and now apparently has control of the
company. hs or ,s ,-,i.t..,..,.
w. b. Bodine, Jr. counsel for Mr..
Pepper, said yesterday that although
demand has been made on Mr. Hinch-
man. the time having expired, the
money has not yet been paid "The
receive now has the ootion," he said.
"of endeavoring 10 hold Mr.. Hinchman
TO the agreement or of proceeding
against Mr.. Addicks."
Preliminary steps hooking toward a
winding up Of the receivership have
been taken in the Massachusetts, courts.
There was in that State. as also in Del
aware, an injunction restraining the Of
ficers from transacvting any business
for the company. In Massachusetts
this has now been dissolved, so that
should move be made to end the re-
ceivership in Delaware the way win be
partly cleared.
There are pending IN the Massa-
chusetts courts certain claims against
the company. and # these are allowed,
the amount left in the hands of the
receiver would be, in distribution. about
l6 cents a share No move has as yet
been made by any Of the stockholders
looking toward a distribution, and un.
less some move is made, the company,
with its blanket charter and nearly
two-quarters of a million dollars in
acsh, win probably be shortly turned
over to the directors. Theer are in
dications that steps will soon be taken
looking to the dismissal Of the receiver
ship.

tion officers are no longer required to
give bond inasmuch as the fee quail
fication for voting mas been abolished

the subsequent acts Of the Legislature

TOWNSEND IN
DRY TERRITORY
Court To-day Refuses to
Grant License Privilege
to Mr.. BrambIe

Townsend, in lower New Castle
county, was added to "dry territory
for the next year to-day, when General
Sessions Court refused to grant the
license privilege to william T. Bram-
Bile as the successor to James L. Dick
inson, whose license for the hotel there
expired on June 10. The applicant,
who was represented by John H. Rod
'ney, failed to prove that Mr.. Bramble
was the tenant and occupant Of the
Townsend Hotel in April, when he ap-
piled for the license.
W. w. Knowles and William s.
Prickett represented remonstrants
against the license. Mr.. Knowles pre-
sented the case, contending that the
hotel was not necessary and that Mr..
Bramble was bartender for Mr. Dick
inson at the time he applied for the
license. Mr.. Dickinson admitted this
to be true and supplemented the in
formatiin with the statement that he
had transferred the hotel property to
Mr. Bramble in April, but had failed
to transfer to him the license, which
expired on June 10. Mr. Dickinson
said he had made the transfer for the
purpose Of allowing Mr.. Bramble to
apply for a license for the hotel The
court decided against the application
before Messrs. Knowles and Prickett
cocluded their examination of Mr..
Dickinson.
Townsend is the nearest town to the
Kent county line. Effort to deprive the
hotel there of a license was begun at
the last term of court, and was partly

Want License at CentreVille
William F. Kurtz, representing AL
fred c. Heck, urged Mr.. Heck's appli-
cation for a license for the Centreville
hotel. Several remonstrances were
filed by the Law and Order Society.
The society opposed the application on
the principal ground that the hotel was
not necessary. Mr.. Kurtz, however,
srowed that the district In which the
hotel is situated had voted wet" at
the recent local option election; that
license for the hotel had never before
been opposed, and a hotel was neces-
sary at Centreville. The court held the
petition under advisement.
