ELIGIBILITY RULE

Columbia'S Varsity Loses
DOnOhO-FreShmen in
a Worse Fix.

Columbia's varsity eight was wrecked
by ineligibility yesterday and the
freshman combination was practically
smashed as a result OF the announce
ments Of the midterm examinations.
Donoho. No. . in the varsity boat, was
dropped from the engineering schools
because of deficiency in his studies, and
Keough, No. 4, in the freshman eight
was placed on probation and will be
ineligible to row again this year.
Furthermore, Ritter and Cook. OF the
freshman boat. are on the ragged edge
of ineligibili;y, and their fate will be
decided this morning when they have
an appointment with the dean. Added
20 the declaring of the manager, W. W.
Walker, ineligible, yesterday, the scho-
lastic authorities have dealt the oars
men a blow from which Jim Rice. the
coach, thinks it will be impossible TO
recover.
The dropping out OF Donoho rnmad'
all of Rice's plans and necessitated a
complete shakeup In the boating of the

CITY OWES $4,000
TO CITY RAILWAYS
Prendergast Finds Companies
Have Overpaid Sum in
Franchise Tax.

Accountants Of the Finance DEPART
ment have just completed the calcuia-
tons that show the city will be re-
ouired to pay back to the metropolitan
Street Railway or its successor the
New York City Railway Company, ABOUT
S491 900.
This represents what the courts nave
declared to be overpayments by the
Metropolitan on franchise taxes Tor
the years 1910 and 1911. The overpay-
ment i'm 1910 was Sl73.47lSl, and IN
1911 s224.269.40, which, with interest,
will amount to the figure given above.
Some newspapers and certain sec
tions of the public frequently eX,
pressed curiosity regarding the alleged
failure of the Department OF Finance
10 collect franchise taxes" said Con-
troller Prendergast last night. "lhere
evidently is no fair conception OF tne
difficulties that are encountered IN TINS
task. Possibly this example Will give
an indication of what 1t means TO try
and collect franchise taxes
The franchise valuations as orlgi-
nally fixed by the State Board OF Tax
Commissioners for the metropolitan
and its subsidiaries were: 1910, S0o,-
iOl GOO: 1911, $48,988,000. On this
basis the taxes levied were: l9IO' 81
OIL ,35745; 1911, SS43,SOo.49.
The companies appealed TO the gu
preme Court, which on March ii, 1910
cut the assessment. The Appellate
Division still further cut this on No
vember IA of the same year. The city
then appealed to the Court of Appeals,
which has upheld the decision.
The value of the franchises was cut
for 1910 10 500, sos, 1884, and for 1911
fixed at S27,9l7,016, and the assessment
to 1897 .25695 for 1910 aud S4oO,eo49o
ir 1911. In the meantime the com
panies had paid on account $30O,OOo Tor
1910 and S426, 494.03 Cor 1911.
On the face Of this il would seem
that the companies still owed the city
They would eXceDt for the operation
of Section AZ of the franchise tax law
which provides that there shall be de-
Quoted from the franchise tax all
amounts paid TO any city, county or
state government in 'he form Of other
taxes or fees for any purpose whatso-
ever. For instance. tolls for crossing
the bridges would mus be deducted.
Computation then showed that the
action of the courts had resulted IN
tie city actually owing money TO the
companies. There is a bill this year,
as there has been in mast years, for the
repeal of Section 48, but its passage Is
in doubt.
The various corporations have been
Withholding their franchise taxes for
wears since 1911 waiting for this de-
cision. The Controller hopes he may
be able to make better terms by com
promising without going to court.

NEW YORK TO LEVY
TAX ON ALL BONDS
Securities Heretofore Exempt
Under Secured Debt Law
Included.

From a sian Correspondent o. Tho Tdbuue.l
lbany, March SIT was announced
tonight that an annual tax of two
mills will be levied by the tat on all
bonds now secured from state taxa
ton after an initial impost Of one-half
Of ore per cent has been paid.
! bill carrying out this idea, which
will mean an increase OF 81 100000
annually in the states indirect taxes,
will be introduced probably this week.
There are bonds in this state. now
exempt under the provisions Of the
secured debt law, passed IN 1911,
amounting to S600,000000.
The Republicans are for the new tax
and the Democrats, who desire to pre-
vent the levying Of a direct tax and are
for any means of raising revenues by
indirect taxation, will probably support
the bill.
The first steps toward the levying OF
the tax were taken late this afternoon
when, under an emergency message
from the Governor, a bill was rushed
through both houses suspendlng the
operation of the secured debt law until
May /. This was done, Senator Brown
explained, so that any rush TO put Sc
curities under cover when the intent
Of the administration became apparent
could be headed Oft.
