STAMPS ARE

ORDER HAS Been ISSUED
No One win be Prosecuted Who Does
Not Try to Dodge the Law

Thousands of persons in many
cities who spent hours Tuesday
rushing the Offices of internal
revenue collectors, alarmed be-
cause they could not obtain war
revenue stamps, were needlessly
frightened over what might hap
pen if they were not on the MIN
ute with their stamping. The in
ternal revenue bureau of the
treasury department, itself much
worried over the task of getting
the law into smooth working or

to send informatiop to collectors,

BY this notice the commission.
rs Office expected to relieve a
situation which promised to be-
come embarrassing to thousands
of individuals, and might have
brought much confusion to rail
roads and shippers.
As an illustration of the vast
number Of stamps reported, it
was pointed out that virtually
every article in drug stores is
subject to tax. Many drug stores
carry possibly 100000 such tax
able articles, and there are thou
sands Of drug stores throughout
the country.
The bureau made public a rul-
ing that certificates issued by
officers of state in the interest
Of the state are not SUBJECT to the
tax. Certificates issued by an
officer of the government at the
request of private persons solely
for private use must be stamped.

ahead as usual with the under
standing that the stamps will be
ATTACHED as soon as they can be

New York.-When Carl Badendick,
well-to-do business man, of Stuy-
vesant avenue, Jersey City, formerly
before the mast in American and Brit
ish ships, hears from Mr.. Jacob Polly
of Cowes, England, as he expects to
do very soon, he and a number of ad-
yanturous souls will leave New York
On an expedition TO recover several
millions of dollars and much valuable
silver and jewels. said to have been
ravished nearly century ago by pi-
rates from the Cathedral Of Lima,
Peru. This plunder is believed to be
located on the island of Trinidad, 700
miles east of the Brazilian coast, and
of late years best known as the is
land which Baron Harden-Hickey, son.
in-law of John H. Flagler, futilely
tried to colonize and then intended to
reign over as King James !.
Mr. Badendick, who in manner and
appearance is anything but vision
airy, says he believes that the baron,
who is now dead. was in reality aim
ing at the hidden hoard rather than
the sovereignty of the island.
Mr.. Badendick is interested in the
venture, not because he heard of the
story from some unreliable source, but
because he has visited the island him
self under circumstances that lend
much plausibility to his belief that the
millions supposed to be hidden there
a in, rtf Tho Tapqnyr
City man says that he expects to head
the expedition to the island, and hopes
to land there some time around Christ
mas. The island is uninhabited, and
belongs to Brazil Mr.. Badendck says
the island is a mass of huge rocky
cliffs, and at the time he visited it, in
1880, was infested with huge birds,
which the crew were kept busy fight
ing. They had a terrible time, he
says, driving off these aerial foes.
Describing an incident, Mr. Baden
dick says:
The sun had made the sand terri
bly, hot. We had gone into the water
in our underclothing, and we were OBJ
liged to take this off and bind it
around our feet to protect them. The
noise Of the surf was so great that you
could not hear a man speak five yards
away. 1t was dark when we reached
the high land, and our guide. young
Polly told me it would be useless un-
til morning to look for the marks
which were to lead US to the treasure.

night but found nothing"

Concerning present day Industrial
ism, DR.. Eliot said;
I'VE hear in these days wage-earn-
ers sometimes called slaves. Nothing
could be more absurd. There is q
great difference between the wage
Garner and the slave, who has no prop
erty, no right to his wife and children,

S140 A YEAR TO KEEP CHILD
IN 1908 It Could Be Done for $1o1, and
in 1898 $98 Met the
Expense.

Chicag0 g0.-Interesting facts in con-
nection with the cost of rearing chill
dren were revealed in the annual re-
port issued by the Chicago Nursery
and Half-Orphan asylum, which has
been in constant operation since 1860
and has cared for more than $500 chill
dren for periods varying from a few
weeks to several years since 1874.
According to the report Of that in
stitution from 1874 to 1883 the cost OF
maintaining one child for year was
1898, while in the period from 1884
to 1893 it was $8868. From 1894 to
1908 this cost was about $101.45, while
in the period from 1904 up to the pres
ent time it has cost approximately
$4,000 a child year, according to the
report.
The purpose of the institution is to
give to such children of the worthy
poor as are deprived by death or 9th

port of either parent a temporary,

TO ENTER POLITICS
Young Bryan win Practice Law
Out in Arizona.
Son Of Secretary Of State VIII Also
Undoubtedly Become a Factor In
the Political Contest Of HIs
New Home.

Tucson, Ariz.-When II was an
nounced recently that William Jen-
nlngs Bryan, Jr.. had been admitted 70
the bar In Arizona people asked
whether he was going in for politics,
as did his father The Shswer is, yes.
The question, "ShoulI n young man
90 into politics?" has been asked Of
statesmen, governors, mayors and
lesser politicians so often that there
has como 10 be standard answer TO
1t. THAI answer is by all means
Young men, the best men are needed
In politics. Every man, young or old,
should take an interest in his govern
meut. for it is only in that way that
good government can be assured"
This is the sense in which young
M. Bryan answered the question, and
he added; "As fer holding office, |
know Of no office that care to hold"
OF course he is a Democrat.
Up to the present time he has not
taken much of part in Arizona poll
tics. Just now he is more interested
in the law and he thinks that the law
of Arizona is of such a character and
in such state Of development that II
would be of absorbing interest to any
lawyer.
'ln what branch of law will you
specialize?" he was asked.
Mining, irrigation and lands"
Mr.. Bryan has been in Arizona five
years. He is not heavy set like his
father. but slender and 1.-the. He is
the picture of health. He has a record
as quarterback at Culver Military
academy and a record as oarsman in
the cutter; he knows every foot of
groung within 40 miles of Tucson, he
has hunted through the surrounding
mountains for deer, rabbits, squirrels,
quail and ducks, and he drives his car
about town and to the ranch of Alex
ander Berger, his father-in-law, p
miles from Tucson, near a place called
Vail
"A fellow has to have a broade2
foundation in the law in Arizona than
in the east" he said to the correspond
ent. For instance, the law on water
rights is different in the west from
what it is in Massachusetts and other
eastern states.
I'm Massachusetts the doctrine or
riparian rights obtains. If a stream
runs through mans premises he
owns that stream, no matter whether
he uses the water or not. He may
desire to simply to beautify his place.
