CHAOS OVER NEW TAX
INCOME TAX coNFUsEs WALL ST.
BANKERS AND LAWYERS.
Admit Their Egnorance--Find Chief
Difficulty Is in Clause Providing
for Collection "at the Source"

New York, Nov. 3.-That part Of
New York which is referred to vague
" as Wall street was In a state of con-
fusion Friday. For once in its career
Wall street did not know which way
to turn. The new income tax law be-
came effective that day and some of
the highest priced lawyers bankers
and corporation officials in the world
confessed that they we're completely
at sea as to it's meaning.
1t is practically foregone conclu-
sion that payment of large part OF
$8O,O0O,O0O November interest pay
ments due in New York will be de-
ferred pending solution of the riddle.
Whatever the outcome, it is predict
ed that many suits will be instituted
against the government to test the
law. Some Of the leading insurance
companies, led by the New York Life,
have questioned that feature of the
law which imposes tax on corporate
holders Of state or municipal bonds, of
which they hold large amounts, while
exempting the individual.
The chief source OF trouble is that
portion of the law which provides for
the collection Eat the cource" of the
tax on income derived from interest
on bonds, mortgages and certain 9TH
er obligations. Banks and corpora
lions are required to withhold this tax
in making payments of interest due to
holders Of securities.
The ruling in question has given
rise to endless confusion. In cases III
which bonds are not registered the
names of their owners often are not
known to the banks or fiscal agents to
whom coupons are presented for pay
ment. The identity of the owners
must be established to determine
whether the tax is to be deducted.

In the riots Thomas Carlton, a chauf-

Mitchell, Fusion Candidate, Has
Heavy Majority for Mayor
Of New York.
EX-GOv. SULZER WINS
Ceposed Executive of Empire
State Elected TO Legisia-
ture, Which Passes
from TammanY
( Control.

New York, Nov. 5.-John Purroy
Mitchell, fusion candidate, was elected
mayor of Greater New York yesterday
by 100000 majority over Edward +.
Mccall, the Tammany candidate.
Mr.. MitcheHs majority i'll the five
boroughs was approximately as fol-
lows: Manhattan, 10000; Brooklyn,
$4,000; Queens, 12,0Oe; Bronx, 1880;
Richmond, 10000.
The vote cast for Russell, the So
.cialists candidate, in the greater city
was 28,167.
Pfendergast for Comptroller.
With seven-eighths Of the returns
in at midnight, it was apparent that
William A. Prendergast, fusion candi-
.date for comptroller, would win over
Herman A. Metz, Tammany, by about
$4,000.
George McAneny, fusion, has beaten
Joseph A. Goulden, Tammany, for
president of the board of aldermen by
about $4,000.
For borough president, DR.. Thomas
Darlington, Tammany, had a slight
lead over Marcus M. Marks, fusion,
in Manhattan Lewis A. Pounds, flu
sion, was safely elected ia Brooklyn
over Frank Mann, Tammany. George
Cromwell, Republican and Independ-
ence league, has beaten Charles j.
MacCormack, Tammany, in Richmond.
Maurice E. Connolly, Tammany, was
elected in Queens over Leonard c. L.
Smith, fusion, and Douglas Mathewson
is believed TO have been elected in the
Eronx by q safe plurality.
The results will deprive Tammany
OF control of the board of estimate and
apportionment, the most important Of
fetal body in the city.
SuIzer Is Elected.
William Sulzer, the deposed COVER
nor of the state, was elected to the
assembly as a Progressive from the
Sixth district of this city within three
weeks of his conviction on charge of
high crimes and misdemeanors by the
high court of impeachment. Sulzer
polled vote almost double that of
his Democratic opponent.
Tammany Loses Assembly.
The Tammany majority in the as
sembly was overturned. At least IS
Republicans, Republican-Progressiv
and -Progressives all anti
Tammany, will occupy seats in the
next house out of total of 150
1t is notable that almost every one
of the upstate assemblymen who vot-
ed against direct nominations and in
favor of Suffers impeachment were
defeated. In Kings county, the Demo
Gratis lost heavily. There were de-
cisive losses in Manhattan and in Buff
falo every Tammany man was beaten.
The election of Jacob A. Cantor,
-Tammany candidate for congress in
the Twentieth district, is probable.
John Purroy Mitchell, mayor-elect, is
the youngest man ever elected mayor
OF New York. He celebrated his
thirty-fourth birthday on July 10 last.

LINp's APPOINTMENT CRITICIZED
Does Not Speak the Language and Is
DISQUALIFIED BY Race.

r Chicago Tribune: The appointment
of former Governor Lind of Minnesota
to act as ambassador de facto to Mex
leo Is not prima facie a happy one. The
fact that Mr.. Lind was an Original
Bryan man" may have weight with the
secretary of state, but it in no w1y
qualities him to act in the difficult and
delicate office to which he has been as
signed. Justice to Secretary Bryan
prompts the belief that ne had sounder
grounds for his choice. - But the ma
ton, in so critical juncture, would
like to know what they are.
The facts known are that Mr.. Lind
does not speak Spanish, and probably
not even diplomatic French. His haV
ing been governor of a northern state
hardly can be thought to have prepar-
ed him for diplomatic service In the
Spanish American country, and We
believe he has had no diplomatic serv-
ice of any kind. Doubtless Mr.. Lind
is an able and high minded man, but
no other government would dream of
selecting a representative upon
grounds of mere political favor or pri-
vate merit, regardless of previous
training and experience or present
knowledge and equipment. Mr.. Lind,
an American of northern race, temper
ament and education, Is dropped sud
denly in the midst or complex ana
dangerous situation involving race
qualities of thought. and feeling, sus-
capabilities. social, economic and mill
tary conditions, to which he has given
no study so far as is reported, and Of
which he can learn nothing save
through an interpreter or resident
speakers Of England.
Perhaps Mr.. Lind will achieve tri-
umphant success, and certainly he will
go with the full support and best wish
es of the country But on the surface
facts his selection suggests a rather
lighthearted attitude toward the diff
culties of the problem and the need for
special qualifications. Perhaps we have
no one specially fitted, and man must
be chosen simply for honesty and 10y
atty. Those qualities certainly are
necessary in this crisis, but it is a sor-
ry commentary on our diplomatic sys-
tenn if we have no one, in service or
retired, who is both specially equipped
and morally fit.

Atlantic Monthly: For those Of us
who are forced to spend most of our.

found that the severest cold does. An
other is that the worst temperature

way short of tn endurance limit of the
