EATING EELs AND sNAILs.
Three -Pronged Fork Used For "Horned

Laymen may hesitate to say how Tar
Leviticus has been adopted into the
law of Scotland. But there are some
pecularities which suggest that II has
probably been adopted into Scottish
practice Take the prejudice OF the
Scot against eating cells and also she'll

why an eel should look more like that
a abhorred snake to a Scotsman than to
ANYBODY else, and. taking the objec-
ton to shelIfish into account, one can
not help thinking Of the rule in Levitt
Gus that Whatsoever hath fins and
scales in the waters, in the seas. and in
the rivers, them shall We eat" while
all that move In the waters without
fins and scales shall be an abomina

prompted Senator Kenyon to introduce
in the senate resolution directing
the secretary of agriculture to furnish
the senate information regarding this
board. Specific information is asked
for the names of all employees of the
agricultural department whose salaries
are paid by funds provided by Rookie
felIer together with the names and po-
sition of all administrative officers Of
the department who in any way are
connected with this board.
This Rockefeller board dispenses
s25O,O0O year in southern states thru
it's officers appointed by the agrlcul-
tural department, but the board re-
serves the authority to say who tho
county agents shall be.
Senator Kenyon believes that these
county agents whose salaries are paid
with Rockefeller money may be able,
if the practice is not stopped, Of build
ing up powerful Rockefeller machine.
The thing does not look just right to
the junior senator from Iowa, and he
proposes to turn on the searchlight.
He asked for immediate consideration
Of his resolution. The request was
granted and the resolution was
adopted.

PAYS TAX ON BIG INCOME.
Head Of Mail Order House Makes More
Than Million in Year.

Chicago, April 2.-Julius Rosewood.
president Of Sears, Roebuck & Co, will
pay to the United States government
the largest income tax in Chicago. His
tax return, it is understood, shows a
net income OF $1,1OO,O00 for the ten
months ending Dec. 81, 1913. This
would be s1,s20.000 for the full year.
This is the heaviest income schedule
filed in the Chicago collection. 1t was
filed during the thirty days extension
period. which began March and ended
yesterday. Previous to the arrival of
Mr. Rosenwold's schedule the largest
return filed in Chicago-Was on an in
come Of $750,0eO.
During the aext.nsion period more
than 1000 returns Aere, received at the
office Of Samuel NJ. Fytch, collector OF
internal revenue. Among them were
several millionaires. in addition to Mr..
Rosenwald. OF these, the returns of
the Deering estate and of Charles
Deering and James Deering were said
to show net incomes of more than
5 10O 900 each.
Rosenwa!d on the Ocean.
The thirty days extension of time
was granted on account of illness or
absence from the city Mr.. Rosenwald
has been in Europe several months. He
is on the ocean bound for New YORK
and is expected in Chicago next sun
day. His lawyers obtained the ex-
tension, made his income tax calcuia-
tions, and forwarded the papers TO him
in Europe. where he placed his 0. X.
on them and sent them back to Chi
cago for filing.
The sur tax alone on an income OF
$1,100,0 900 is s56,050. The greater part
Of this income. however, probably is
derived from dividends on stocks and
other invested capital which the law
requires to be taxed at the source. 1t
is expected Mr.. RCsenwald will not
know Just how much his individual in
come tax amounts to until the internal
revenue officials have made the calcu-
.lations and he receives his bill. Pay
ments are due on or before June SO.

TO START WITH A BILLION.
Reserve Banking System to Have I'm
mense Capital.


Washington, April 2.-The new fed
eral reserve banking system will start
with total authorized capital of about
s1000oO,ooO for all reserve banks. This
fact became apparent last night when
figures were made public from all ma
tional banks responding to the last call
of the controller of the currency, made
March 4.
The total capital and surplus Of the
7,494 national banks reporting was
given at about s1,7ss, 100000 Under the
reserve act each national bank must
subscribe per cent Of it's capital and
surplus 10 the capital of the reserve
bank in its district and per cent of
this total would be about $107 1000.
There were only 7,465 national banks
who signified in the legal time their in
tention to enter the system, so the
total would be somewhat reduced, but
the entrance into the system of state
banks and trust companies will tend
to offset this, and it is possible that.
with these institutions figured in, the
capital of all reserve banks will be near
$110,000,00G
The actual working capital of the
reserve banks may only reach half this
amount, for the law provides manda-
tory subscription Of only three -sixths
Of the total 6 per cent. The reserve
board, the machine which will direct
the system, however, is authorized to
demand the payment of the other
three -sixths.
The statement today shows national
banks in excellent condition to meet the
demands of the new'law. Some observ-
ers were surprised by the fact that
loans and discounts have increased in
stead of being curtailed. Loans and
discounts on March 4, 1914, amounted
to se,357.535,sss. a gain over January
13, 1914, the time of the last call, of
$182,130,936.
Subscribing banks must begin pay
ment for their reserve bank stock thirty
days after the announcement of the
district and reserve cities, and it was
believed in some quarters that today's
statement might show a decrease in
loans and discounts because of this i'm
pending announcement. The loan and
discount increase, taken together with
the fact that individual deposits in
creased in the same period by more
than $39.000.O00, was said to be the best
indication that the national banks are
in shape to meet the demaNls of the
new system.
According to the statement the re-
sources and liabilities of the national
banks were $11,564.497, ,260; their capi-
tai stock $l156.4s2.120, and their indi-
vidual deposits s6,111,32s,457. Their
