ants who challenge some provisions of the

application"
The firm addressed is Deloitte, Plender,

Attorney General Wickersham points out
that the proposed law does not impose
a tax on profits" but on the entire net
income over and above 5000 received by
the corporation. joint stock company or
association or insurance company subject
to the law from all sources during such
year"
TT has been the uniform practice of the
government in framing up revenue bills, ,"
he added, ITO require the tax to be paid
as of fixed date, and so far as have
been able TO ascertain in every instance
ending December 81. Such was the income
but 1t is certainly not impossible for any
corporation which keeps Just and true
books Of account to make up a return
such as that required by the proposed
law, particularly as the return requires
statements OF actual receipts and pay
ments and not as recommended in your

BERLIN, July 17--Brlgands held the
highway between Augustomo and Llpsku,
on the Russo German frontier, all day
Tuesday OF this week and captured fifty
or sixty travellers, whom they robbed of
large sums OF money.
Most of the victims were horse dealers
going to the annual horse market at
Lipsku. 1t is estimated $4,000 was taken.
The road agents are believed to be the
same men who have committed numerous
robberes throughout wide district on the
frontier
One OF the recent exploits Of the robbers
was to capture tollgate house. They
bound the keeper and his wife and sta
toned one Of their number, dressed in the
gatekeeper's uniform, beside the gate.
Peasants were allowed to pass on the pay
ment of the usual fee, but when a pros
perous-looking traveller or anyone bound for
Lipsku came along a signal was given and
the man was attacked by the bandits con-
cealed in the house. The victims were
bound and robbed OF their cash and then
locked in the attic of the house or an
outbuildng.
After forty persons had been robbed the
bandits gathered together the best horses
and made their departure, but before they
left they shot dead, in sight of the others,
a man named FAIL Of Augustomo, who had
offered resistance. The son of the gate
keeper returned late in the afternoon and
released the prisoners.
The German government has taken up
the matter with the Russian authorities.

quired distance, but the judges decided
that he had complied with all the terms
Of the competition.
He will win the Scientific American cup
which he captured last year at Hammonds-
port, N. Y, unless his flight is excelled
before the end Of the year.
The flight, although made at an early
morning hour was witnessed by 1000 peo-
pie Curuss rose easily and circled the
