Washington, Sept. 17.-Stock brok-
ers are protesting against the proposal
to include in the war revenue bill

them os $50 year. Such a tax was
levied in the war revenue act of the
Spanish-Amcrican war, which the
Democratic caucus authorized the
ways and means committee to emu
late. The stock brokers say stock ex-
changes are closed throughout the
country because Of the war, and that
their business is dcmoralized. They
also point to the uncertainty as to
when stock exchanges will resume op-
erations
The matter will he taken up tomor-
row, when the committee expects to
receive from the treasury department
estimates OF revenue to lie derived
from special and stamp taxes pro-
posed to be levied. Several members
of the committee maintain that the
brokers' tax should be included, be-
cause the brokers have not closed
their offices.
Some members desire to exempt
checks from the proposed two-cent
stamp tax if the treasury estimates
show that 100000, 900 in revenue. can
be raised without them. Great in
creaSes in land transactions and in
surance business since the Spanish
American war. they believe, will af-
ford sufficient stamp tax revenues.

exempt all checks Of $50 or less
Administration leaders hope to have

upon such rehouse receipts, the
amount rcQu cd for loan upon such
receipts, and case of rejection of
u loan the reason therefore, and the
rate of interest charged for such
loans, and make it mandatory that
the secretary of the treasury shall
publish Il statement of these facts in
newspapers having general circulation
in the locality of such banks. The
purpose Of the proposed amendment
is to meet the complaint that the cur
rency being issued under the Vrec-
land -AldriCh act is not being loaned
To farmers upon the presentation OF
proper warehouse receipts, but that
such loans are being denied and that
excessive rates of interest are bein2;
charged when loans are made.
1t is the judgment of these two
South Carolinians that the force of
public opinion in II community in
which the bank is located, when the
facts are seen, will be so great and
ovcrpowCrng as to compel the banks,
IL they are not disposed to do so
otherwise, to carry out the intent ana

MURPHY WOULD QUIT
IF HE is

l-os Angeles. Feb. Tommy Muir
ply has announced in the event of
losing to Willie Richie when the first
chance comes to him for his awaited
championship crack. he will retire
from the ring for all time to come.
Naturally, should he win, Murphy
wouldn't think of retiring. but would
aim to go ahead and clean up as
much money as possible.

declaration in advance OF matches and

to making declarations, and in this
case, since he is nicely situated from
a financial standpoint. the announce

ordinarily appear.

1900. which means Just fourteen
years." Murphy said. 81 sincerely be-
lieve that 7 can beat Willie Richie.
and if I lose ! will quit the game"
The New Yorker is keenly alive to
the fact that he can't go on forever
and, since it is o absolutely neces-
sary from a standpoint of making a
living. the chances are that Murphy
will be pleased when he can retire
from the active ring work.

at that meeting. The main topic of
interest for discussion at the meeting
is expected to be the proposed new
rule prohibiting American amateur
tennis players from accepting expense
money except in world, national, sec
tional and state tournaments. When
asked as to his opinion on the new
rule. MI. Burton said he did not be-
lieve it would make a great deal Of
difference on the play throughout he
country as most of the amateur play
ers already respect the conditions
named in the rule.
For a long time it has not been
considered good form to accept ex-
pense money n consequently no
much Of a change will result from the
rule If actually laid down. Only n
or two tournaments have ever paid
