WAR REVENUE LAW
GOES INTO EFFECT
FEDERAL WAR MEASURE 10 TO
. RAISE sioo,ooo,0oo REVENUE
CUT OFF HY WAR.
BUSINESS CRISIS FEARED
Agent at Memphis Fails to Get Ado
quate Supply of Stamps-Shippers
in Panic for Fear Freight
Would 30 Held Up

Memphis.-The federal war revenue
law, more commonly known as the Wal
tax, went into effect Dec. |. 1t will
remain in force until Jan. 1, 1915, and
its purpose Is to raise 500 900 900
federal revenue cut off at custom
houses as a result OF the European
war.
A n%ear.panic among Memphis ship
pers resulted through the underestt-
nation by some government agent Of
the importance Of Memphis as q ship
ping point.
The limited supply Of %one-cent docu'
mentary stamps sent to A. II. Schae-
fer, stamp deputy. became exhausted.
Shippers who had not obtained
stamps feared their freight shipments
would be held up, because the law
stipulates that a one-cent document
airy stamp must be attached to each
bill of lading before the railroads can
handle freight.
L. B. Craig, collector Of Internal
revenue la Tennessee, wired from
Nashville that a consignment Of l00,-
600 one-cent documentary stamps had
been sent from Nashville by registered
fail.
Even If the shipment Is delayed a
few hours, there will be little, II any,
interference with freight shipments.
In preparation for the new war tax,
freight officials for all Memphis rail-
roads obtained a limited supply OF
one.cent stamps to be attached to bills
Of lading. But the railroads supply
Is so limited It will not last long.
Freight traffic officials declared
they were powerless to accept freight
unless the required one.cent stamp is
attached to each bill of lading. And
they pointed out that It Is up to Uncle
Sam to supply shippers with stamps.
The war revenue measure Is broad
in Its scope. In railroad offices, ex.
press offices, traffic bureaus and bust
ness houses employees were busy d.
costing the provisions and penalties
Of the new law.
Every traveller who buys a Pullman
berth or parlor car seat henceforth
must purchase also q one-cent docu-
mentary stamp and attach 1t to the
ticket. Railroad tickets are not taxed,
except passage tickers by vessel to
foreign ports.
Travellers who desire to check b.
cycles, ~tricycles, baby carriages, dogs,
theatrical scenery, etc, also must buy
one-cent documentary stamps. Milk
tickets on trains and the switching Of
cars also Is taxed under the new law.

that the proportion Of reversals was

Brewer announced that no had de-
clded to appoint Luthher NJ. Buroh,

10 sit as q special Judge at the trial OF
the ~Brookhayen bankers. Mr.. Burch
has accepted the commission. and will
at onco enter upon a trial Of the cases.
This case has caused Gov. Brewer
aad those responsible for the proceed
ings OF the trial no little trouble.
In the frat place, 1t was found i'm
possible 10 try the cases In Lincoln
County, and as a change OF venue was
granted by Acting Judge Barbour, to
Copiah County, where according to
former arrangements. they were Ia
to have been called for trial at this
term. But It became necessary for
Judge Barbour to cus himself from
sitting further In the case, for rea
o II stated to the governor, and so he
has stepped down and out from the
case altogether.
Gov. Brewer has been confronted
with the task Of finding another law
yer to try the cases, one which he
finds exceedingly difficult. For law.
yers this Ia about the busiest time OF
the year, and almost all Of them are
crowded with work, either In the chan.
oery and circuit courts or tho 81.
preme court. Hugh V. Wall, district
attorney OF tho Fourteenth district,
who was at the capital, declared that
he intends to do everything In his
power to bring the cases of Becker
and associates to trial at this term,
There will be two weeks left after the
present OF the Copiah term, and whom
once started the trial will consume all
Of that time and may exceed it. MIR,
Wall suggested to the governor. and
ia Judge Barbour, that the latter call

district, which adtolns Judge HoIden's,
who could spare the time.
Gov. Brewer was in receipt Of a let
ter from Judge Jackson that said even
had he been called In, he could not
have acted, owing to relationship to
