TAX ON FIRM
Foreign Built YacLts Must Pay Duty
After September 6.

Foreign Built Yackts Must Pay Duty
After September 6.
New York. Aug. Sit is estimated
that nearly 100000 will be added to
the revenue Of the government when
on September ! naxt the tariff on
foreign built yachts is collected by
the customs division of the treasury
department. An annual tax Of 81 q
ton is assessed by the Payne law
on all pleasure craft built abroad and
chartered or owned by Americans for
period of six months or more. As
an alternative, the owners Of such
yachts may pay an ad valorem duty
OF thirty-fve per cent, for which they
Will be entitled to all. of the privileges
OF American entry for their yachts.
The treasury department is prepar-
ing regulations for: the collection of
the new duty which is to be paid an
nually on the first Of September. The
ad valorem duty, which may be COL
lected In lieu Of the annual tonnage
tax. is based upon the value of the
yacht at the time the duty is COL
lected.
According to the figures supplied
to the customs officers there are be-
tween seventy and eighty foreign
built yachts now owned by Ameri-
cans. The aggregate tonnage is in the
neighborhood Of $4,000 IONS. which
would yield a revenue from the ton
mage tax Of q sum ID excess Of $780,
600. More than forty of these YES
sells claim New York as their home
port. Custom ofncdtls this evening
said that many owners Of foreign
built pleasure boats will pay the ad
valorem duty inpreference to the ton
mage tax, as In the course of a num-
Der Of years an annual tax Of seven
dollars for each ton would exceed the
duty based upon the value of the
icratt after an allowance has been
made for depreciation.

One small mouse nearly caused a
riot in the office of the collector of

making the place look as if it had
been struck by cyclone, and chasing
the stenographer clear out into the
hall, where she perched upon a table
and yelled loudly for help. The mouse

He was an unusually small mouse,
with little beadlike eyes and an in
curing sniff, and he wandered in in
nocently to find out if the books Of
+fhe intenal revenue department tast-
ed as good as those found in the other
departments of the Capitol. But he
had hardly got more than a nibhle
when Collector Drake, opening a draw

So, with the help of Deputy Collector
Johnstone and the office boy. he tilted
up the end of the desk-and the
drawers all fell off onto the floor with
a crash. The stenographer screamed
and the clerks of the land office across
the way telephoned for the police
But finally the poor little mouse ran
under somebody's foot and went make.
The stenographer timorously descended
from the table in the hall. The draw
