How the Japanese Fish.

up and down the pages of a Japanese
magazine, printed on fine tissue pa

he was reading an interesting account
of whale fishing as now carried on in
the Pacific which showed that the mo-

this American fishery the occasional
loss of whalers on the Japanese coast
and the inhumane treatment shown to

principal reasons for the dispatch of

first American treaty with Japan. The

exempt from the income tax that portion
of the premiums on mutual life insur

amendments originally made by the Sem

Under the decision reached. last night.
all life insurance companies writing mu-

part of their income is exempted except
that part of the premium on any policy
that is returned to the policyholder as
a dividend or rebate The Senate finance
committee determined on such action
many weeks ago, but the amendment
laid before the Senate was not satisfae
tory and was later withdrawn at the
voluntary motion of members of the fl
nance committee. The conferees decided.
last night, that the provisions was still
within their jurisdiction and that they
had authority to make the change. Hold
ers of mutual insurance policies and in
suranee officers throughout the country
have urged that such an exemption ought
to be Il part of the income tax to pro-
tect the rights of persons who hold divi-
