cations.

Council Bluffs, April 25-The Cont
mental Oil Company, the local subsidi-
airy Of the Standard Oil Company,
which has meeting scheduled to be
held in this city May to increase it's
capital stock from 100000 to So
600. 900. was sued in district court yes
terday. afternoon for $93,20 taxes for
the year 1912 upon the old capitaliza-
ton.
The suit was brought by Ben Mccoy,
of Oskaloosa, the tax ferret who has a
contract with Pottawattamie county,
tho it was brought in the name of
County Treasurer James p Christen-
sen for the use and benefit of the coun-
ty. Mccoy & Mccoy, the Oskaloosa
law firm Of which the tax ferret is one
Of the members, appear in the petition
filed as attorney for the county treas
urer
Taxes Due $4,000.
1t is set forth in the petition on file
that the capital stock of the concern
on Jan. l, 1912, had an actual value Of
100000 which on one-fourth val
uation for taxation, which is the rule
in Iowa, would make a taxable value
of 100000 The tax rate in Council
Bluffs for 1912 was 93.2 mills, making
the total amount due from the Stand
ard Oil concern for the single years
taxes $4,000.
The law provides for the taxation of
the stock of corporations organized in
Iowa against the separate shares, but
it is alleged in the suit that the COM
pany has "fraudulently concealed the
shares Of stock from the assessor for
the city of Council Bluffs.
Not only is the sum of $4,000 de-
manded for the taxes for the year, but
the court is likewise asked to add 6
per cent interest on that sum from
Jan. /, 1918, together with the statu-
tory penalty of so per cent of the total,
which is added as a penalty for non
payment. 1t is set forth in the petition
that formal written demand for the
payment of these sums was made Feb.
II of this year.

company is scheduled to be held In
this city Thursday, May 8, when the
proposition will be taken up of increas-
ing tenfold the present capital stock,

new arrangement.
Last year it, is said that the COM
pany paid dividends amounting to 20
per cent of it's present capital stock, or
over 100000 in all. This is the year
for which the taxes are now sued for
John D. Rockefeller is said to own
approximately half Of the total capital
stock of the company, of which Mr.
Wilson, of Denver, is the president
The plan is to have the new issue OF
stock divided among the old stock
holders in the proportion they now

ganization was effected in Council
Bluffs many years ago, under the Iowa
law, does no business here. it's oper-
ations being confined under the Stand

Famous Pearl. In History.

We read of pearls-oyster pearls.
~ they were called-in Chinese rec.
ords dating back nearly 5000 years,
and Persian history and Persian poetry
abound In mention of the pearl as q
symbol Of purity, and this association
Of ideas has persisted until the pres
emit day. But it is a curious fact that
though We have read 10 much about
famous pearls which haye played great
parts in history, there Is hardly an
authentic instance Of any pearl being
still in existence which has any an
tiquity Of It's own or made history Of
any Importance. This Is partly due
70 the fact that valuable pearls were
nearly always stolen In the brave days
Of yore. and their unlawful owners
had good reason for concsaling their
historical identity.

JUDGE M'PHERsoN LEMiENT
WITH Mr.. AND MRS. WALTER
JAMES, couNrERFElrERs.
FIRST CRIMINAL ACTS
DRAW LIGHT SENTENCES
James and Wife Confessed to Passing
Bogus Money Man Given Five
Months in Jail and Woman Thirty
Day Suspended Sentences Judge
Warns Thorn to Sin Ne More.

Davenport, April 25.-sentence was
passed by Judge Smith Mcpherson in
the federal court ON Walter James and
his wife, Eva James, Of Muscatine,
sslf- confessed counterfeiters. The man
was sentenced to five months in the
county Jail and the woman given a
thirty day sentence, which was sus-
pended by the court.
Previous to announcing the SEN
fences, Judge Mcpherson delivered a
strongly orded lecture to the pair.
He told James that he had heard
good reports Of him and especially of
his family, from Louisa county He
said he did not believe that James
was . hardened criminal. Still he
called attention to the fact that the
government gave more attention to
the protection of it's currency than al
most any other line of activity.
The court pointed out that the
maximum penalty he was empowered
to fix was fifteen years in the peni-
Tertiary, and fine of $4,000. How
ever, he declared, because of the good
reports he had heard Of James and
his family, he desired to be as lenient
as possible. AS to the wife, the court
declared that 1t was reasonable to be-
lieve that she was very largely under
the influence Of the husband in her
part of the crime, and so he suspended
sentence SO far as she was concerned
The court told her to go home with her
father. who was in the court room,
and declared that il she offended
against the law in any way in the fu-
ture he would compel her to serve
out her suspended sentence. The court
room was crowded when the pair re-
ceived their sentences and the accom-
panying lecture from the bench.
