Postofiice inspectors OF two coun,

tigating the mysterious disappearance
OF registered mail package coutain-
ing 100000 consigned from Havana
TO the National Park bank OF New
York.
The loss was discovered when the

was opened in the New York post
office. When and where the package
disappeared, whether in Havana,
aboard the ship or train which brought
it, or thereafter, no one has been able
TO discover.
The postotfice authorities are work
ing zealously on the case in the TWO
republics as matter OF course, while
the private detectives have been set
to work by the shipper, whose name
is not revealed. The National Park
bank has no more than q moral in

State and Court Differ on Tax.

The attorney generals department
is receiving many inquiries from
banks, city and township treasurers
regarding the application of the new
laws regarding recording of real es-
tate mortgages and the taxation of
municipal and school bonds.
In many places, notably Bay City,
the treasurers have refused TO accept
the taxes of the banks under the new
laws. The banks refuse 10 pay on
their real estate mortgage because of
the provision which exempts the mort
cages from taxation if a recording
fee is paid. They also refuse TO pay
on the municipal and school bonds.
In a similar case Of the Detroit
Trust Co., the supreme court has held
that the banks are entitled TO exemp-
ton on the mortgages. However, the
attorney generals department has
written an opinion for the Bay City
treasurer which advises him differ
