Practically All His
Life

Michael Joyce disd at O'Clock this
morning at local hospital after a
very short illness. Only few days

aged with the hope that he was in a
fair way to recovery, but later he be
came worse and rapidly approached
the end which came at thu hour
named.
Mr.. Joyce was a single man about
forty-saYen years of age, was born
and reared In Keokuk and had lived
here practically all his life. He is sur
yived by one brother Thomas H.
Joyce OF Keokuk and one sister, Mrs.
Kate McGinty of Chicago, besides 9th
er relatives and friends in Kispkuk
and elsewhere.
He had a large number OF friends
In KeolSuk who will be panied to hear
of his death. Hs was a genial, com
panionable man who will be sadly
missed among the hosts OF compan-
ions with whom he associated In the
/ most cordial friendship. He was es-
pecially popular among those who
knew him SO long.

US. UNABLE TO BUY
+ TRACTOR IN EUROPE
War Prevents Army Obtaining
Even Sample for Tests,
Saws Ordnance Board.

That the United States army has
failed in its effort to purchase a for
eign-manufactured motor tractor. be-
cause European factories have refused
to Ill the order since the war opened,
is brought out in the annual report Of
the board of ordnance and fortification
to Secretary of War Garrison.
Considerable attention has been
given to this subject by European gov
srnments,'' said the report, but in
this country practically all of the de-
veloement of motor tractors has been
for ordinary commercial purposes, and
II was thought desirable to procure the
most advanced type for test and obser-
walton in this country.
Though the foreign manufacturers at
first offered to sell a tractor, they final
ly declined to do so. but agreed to send
one TO the United States for test, and
an allotment of 5000 was made for
transportation and all expenses of test
OF Chatillon-Panhard tractor. Owing
to the conditions abroad, the manufac-
turers are now unable to furnish a trac-
tor. All eliotments have been revoked,
and the subject will be taken up with
manufacturers in this country"
The report says the board has moth
ing to show for the money expended In
the construction of the Emery disap.
pearing gun carriage. OF the $250000
appropriated i'm the last twenty-one
years, there is a balance of $13,531 re-
manning but no recommendation is
made, as the board says nothing has
occurred that would indicate the even
stual completion and delivery of this
carriage"
Allotments made during the years by
the board for experiments with various
inventions are enumerated as follows:
81. 900 for a portable range finder: $1,000
for portable searchlights for field artil
lery; 50, 500 for field artillery observ-
ing platform of German invention;
5000 for experimental cover for gun
carriages: SIC. 500 for purchase of Krupp
3-inch field caisson: $500 for purchase
of Ehrhardt caisson, not delivered on
account of the war; $500 for construc-
tion of submarine mines containing the
Leon device for automatically control-
ing the depth of submergence.

Internal Revenue Ruling as to

More than 6. 400 building and loan asso-

persons. are affected by the ruling Of
the Internal Revenue Bureau. that or
ganizations Of this character have no

During the year that the new war

Associations. today.
I'm the war revenue act lately passed.
the building and loan associations OF
the whole country were completely ex..
empted from the stamp taxes imposed
by that act, by use of the same Ian
guage as exempted them in the Spanish
war revenue act Of 1888. The language
Of the former act was retained by the
Senate and House committees. in pref
erence to language proposed by repre-
sentatives Of the building association
league. for the explained reason that
the wording of the act Of 1893 had been
construed entirely In favor Of the asso-
Citations by the then Attorney General
and the then Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, and was therefore better than
