the palace was : suffering great
damage.
Congress will attempt to meet later
today for the purpose of receiving Ma
dero's resignation. There is no rea-
son to believe that he will hand it in
as long as General Huerta keeps the
troops about the palace loyal
1t is known that many of the
federal troops are tired fighting for
Madero- They would desert If they
thought they could reach the arsenal
in safety. The dissatisfaction, how
ever, has not reached an alarming
state as yet.
New pressure will be brought on
Madero today, in an attempt to get
him to give up his office voluntarily.
Senators and cabinet ministers desir-
Gus of ending the war were preparin g
their arguments to present to Madero
as soon as they could obtain an audi
ence with him.
There was small hope that he could
be induced to give in The fighting
which was started by the federa1s at
1880. last night, after the report that
Madero had resigned had already been
widely circulated, ragged uninterrupted
until 4:30 this morning. The same
scenes that had been witnessed dur

piled with deadly accuracy and his
gunners moved down the attacking

In the struggle for possession Of the
city i& is now estimated that the prop
erty damage will reach nearly $780,
600, ,OOO.<s Costly buildings have been
wrecked by shells, others seriously
damaged and the main business
streets of the city have served as a
battle-ground, resulting in q complete
Generalization of all industries. The
streets are lined with the dead and
dying and the casualties OF the weeks
engagement run into the thousands.
Despite the protests of United States
Ambassador Wilson and other foreign
representatives, all rules of civilized
warfare have been ignored in the
struggle. As the arsenal, the strong
hold of the rebels, and the national
palace, where the federal are station
ed, are separated by four city blocks,
the boEnbardment has wrecked all
surrounding property. The contend
ing leaders refused to recognize any
neutral zone in which foreigners might
flee to safety.
The Red Cross and White Gross
societies, today, abandoned their work
because their flags were fired upon
and their vehicles used as ambulances
were seized by the troops.

can ports foreigners here were In ter
FOR, today, of what may follow if the
city falls into the hands OF the rebels
and the N[adero forces are routed.
When the report that Madero might
resign was heard there was hope that
the change might be made with COM
parative quiet but If the palace falls
it is certain the federals and rebels
will join forces in looting and robbing
and a reign of terror is considered
certain. The rebel commanders will
be unable to control their troops. Al
ready the federaIs have shown signs
of being tired of the fight and anxious
to break away TO the rich prize they
know the fan of the city will pro-
duce.
Shortly before noon, today, the
Senate was still in session after
continuous meeting lasting through
last night. The advisabiIity of asking
NTadero to abdicate was under discus
sion but as the Maderistas control the
Senate there seemed to be scant Feai
son to believe such request VIII be
made.

FIGHTING KEPT UP
TILL NEAR DAWN TODAY

Mexico City, Feb. 15-In the face of
continued reports that Madero's resfg-
nation had been placed in the HANDS
of the Mexican Congress or would be
handed over by the President, today,
fighting went on from 1880 o'clock
last night until near dawn.

prise, failed to find General Diaz and
his followers off their. guard The

ANY one deriving an income from
the stocks of any corporation will not
be required to pay an income tax up
on his or her dividends from such
stocks, provided a proper affidavit
claiming exemption is filed with the
Internal Revenue Commissioner, and
provided alo that the income of the
holder Of the stock does not exceed
$4,000 a year. The exemption is
granted upon the ground that all cor
porations must pay to the government
a tax of | per zen upon their net
earnings. and. If holders of the stock
were also taxed upon income, there
would be double taxation.
But those receiving $4,000 or more
per annum are subject to a super, or
additional tax. The tax rises with
the income. Thus, if Mr.. Rockefeller
had no other possession than the
247 ,602 shares OF Standard Oil stock,
which he held at the time of the dis
solution of the trust. this stock being
worth at the then market price $780,.
1879. 100, he received an annual income
of 81, 8 ,140 at the dividend rate
then paid by the Standard Oil COM
pany. Upon the greater part of this
income Mr.. Rockefeller would pay an
income tax of q per cent annually.
The tobacco trust was controlled
by Anthony y. Brady, 2. A. B. Widen
err, T. T. Ryan, j. L. luke, o. III.
Payne and the late William c. Whit
ney, who were the registered holders
of s103, 200, 600 worth of stock, mar

the tobacco trust would itself pay a
dividend of l per cent to the govern
ment on its s35, 900 900 of profit an
nuaIly-s350, 0O0-and then each Of
the other large stockholders would pay
. personal tax of between $4,000 and
10000 ON his individual share of the

The late Anthony y. Brady left an
estate estimated at from sT0,000,000
TO 500, 900, 900. OF this, s6,500,000,

Tie diasrom and calculation by
which you show that a log six inches
in diameter and ten feet long would
yield IS i3 feet q board measure are
quite correct. BY applying the Doyle
rule the result is 2h feet board meas
urs as stated in a previous issue. a
%isfactory leg rules are difficult to CON
struct. aud the Doyle rule, which Is
most widely used in Canada is espe
cially at fault in the measuring OF
small logs as the above figures show.
The Scribner rule is more nearly &C
curate for small logs. For a log SIX
inches in diameter and IL feet long,
the Doyle rule accorcs IL feet board
measure and the Scribner rule II
feet, while the actual amount that may
be sawed out is 16 feet. In the meas
urement of logs 20 to 80 inches in
diameter the results from the appliear
ton Of the two rules do not di6ef
materially. Logs more than 30 inches
in diameter will show . higher Yield
