YACHT TO BE OvERHAULED.
Latonia Is Finally Pulled Off Mud
Where River Channels Join.

In tow of the power launch Iona, the
big auxiliary schooner yacht Latonia
has left here for Canoe Neck creek.
ST. Marys county, Md, to be painted
and overhauled and put in trim for
summer service with the pleasure
fleet.
On her way out of the harbor she
went ashore on the point of mud at the
junction of the Washington and
Georgetown channels and resisted all
efforts on the part Of the Iona to float
her. The tug James o. Carter came
along and going to the aid of the
stranded vessel had her afoat in few
minutes. Where the Latonia struck
the mud is soft and the vessel was not
injured
The yacht belongs to A. O. Portner of
this city, and is the largest vessel of
her class owned on the Potomac river
She will be used by her owner for
summer cruises on river and bay, and
will probably have her headquarters
at Annapolis, where many Of the larger
vessels of the Washington-owned
pleasure feet go each summer. It is
stated that the work to be done to
the Latonia will require about three
weeks or a month to complete.

FAILURE Of BIG BILLS
BLOW TO DEPARTMENTS
Reforms in Postal and Indian Serv.
ices Will Be Seriously
Hampered.

The failure of two big appropriation
bills, the post office and the Indian
bills, to become laws in the wild rush
of the final days of the session of
Congress just closed has brought the
Post Office Department and the Indian
bureau face to face with some serious
problems which must be solved be-
| tween now and July /. the beginning
of the new fiscal year.
Before adjourning Congress passed
resolutions continuing the appropria-
tions made by the existing laws for
these two branches of the government,
and these appropriations must be made
to fit changing conditions.
The situation Is receiving careful
attention at the Post Office Depart
| ment, and it Is probable that state
ment regarding the matter will be

| partment yesterday that the postal
service could get along on the money

passed by Congress. That resolution

cording to the length of their routes,
and specified the amounts which should
be paid.

So far as the employees Of the Post ONCE
department proper in Washington and Of
the indian bureau are concerned the
failure of the two bills is without effect,
lot they are all cared for in the legtsla- :
tive, executive and judicial approximation
bill, which became a law.
Reforms Are Retarded.
Speaking of the failure Of the Indian
appropriation bill. Cato Sells, the Indian
commissioner, said yesterday that it was
not disastrous but unfortunate.
"The failure of the bill complicates
matters and retards the progress of re-
forms which we had planned he said
There was much needed legislation in
the bill-for instance. a new program for
irrigation projects on Indian lands which
would have been of great benefit to the
Indians. This plan was approved by both
houses. It was the controversy over the
enrolment of the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw Indians which caused the failure Of
the bill.

RULINGS ON WAR TAX
ON NEGOTIABLE PAPER
Internal Revenue Bureau Passes on
Question Of Exemptions
and Liability.

Drafts, acceptances. overdrafts and
post-dated checks are exempted from the
war emergency tax by ruling Of the
| internal revenue bureau Even though
they are used in such a way as to per-
form some Of the functions of promis-
sorry note. the ruling holds. they are not
so taxable. because they are instruments
which do not establish this character by
| their face and form.
The ruling conforms to a recent de-
cision Of the Supreme Court to the ef-
| feet that the liability Of an instrument
to stamp tax duty, as we'll as the
| amount of such duty, is determined by

either chattel or a real estate mortgage

or given in connection with the mortgage

ESTABLISHED 1870

Dan w. Edwards. a reserve on the
Nevada Police force. whose duty II
10 to run down cattle rustlers and
horse thieves, arrived in Tonopah
Friday afternoon with Jack Barde-
mas in custody. He turned him over
60 the Sheriff of Nye County. who
nlaced him in the county Jail. Bar
demas is accused of stealing cattle.
This arrest was made Friday morn
ing shortly after daylight at the
ranch of Eugene Locke. formerly
County Commissioner. at Duckwater.
12O miles northeast of Tonopah. Ed
wards went into that country about
the middle of November and passed
as a sheep Inspector. and no one
knew any different until the arrest
WAS made. Mr.. Edwards said to
the Bonanza:
Complaints had been coming to
the office of the Nevada State Police
for some time past. Captain Dom
nelly, the superintendent of the State
Police, detailed me in November on
the case with instructions to get the
man. While | am not in the position
to give the public any of the evidence
which / have accumulated, ! will say
that the evidence is conclusive and
no doubt conviction will result. |
will turn over all my evidence here
to the District Attorneys office and
render complete report to Super
intendent Donnelly."
Bardemas, according to Officer Ed
wards, was suspected OF rustling
cattle and peddling meat in that sec
ton of the country for several years.
He was considered an all-round bad
man by the people Of the vicinity,
always carrying his sidearms in full
view. He boldly stated that he
would never be taken alive. NO
doubt" continued Officer Edwards,
"the people of Duckwater and Cur
rant Creek will hca,e sigh of relief
when they know that he has been
safely landed behind the bars"
Officer Edwards stated that ac-
cording to information he had re-
ceived, Bardemas was to leave the
ranch of Eugene Locke on Christ
mas morning with a four-horse
wagon load of hogs and beef bound
for Tonopah as his market. Know
ing that Bardemas had no cattle of
his own, Edwards drove in close
to the ranch at l O'Clock Christmas
morning in an automobile and
searched the premises. He found
that his suspicious were verified. He
waited until daybreak, watched Bar
demas load his hogs and beef on the
wagon and was in the act of hitch
ing the horses to it, when Edwards
appeared on the scene and demand
ed that he remove from the wagon
the hides and submit them to inspec-
ton. At first Bardemas agreed to
do this. but upon second thought
he demanded of Edwards that he
show his authority, which was done
by producing his star, showing him to
be member of the Nevada State
Police force. Bardemas resisted ar
rest, which called for a display of
firearms before he submitted to be-
