Evadc Clash With Censorship In

Washington, June 24.-Complaints
that censors tamper with neutral mail
passing through Great Britain re-
suited today in the issuance of an
order by the postoffice department, di-
recting that all mail from the United
Sttaes for Norway, Sweden, Denmark
and the Netherlands be dispatched on
steamers sailing direct.
This is the remedy suggested by
the Swedish minister, who recently
hled with the state departmnet evil
dence that mail from the United
States had been censored in England.
As the countries in which mails orig
mate control the routing the order
Will affect only outgoing mail. 1t is
expected here, however, that SIMILAR
steps soon will be taken by at. least
some Of the European neutrals.
Under the new arrangement mails
to the northern countries will not
leave as frequently but there are sew
eral regular direct steamer lines and
no serious delays are looked for.
A general inquiry into alleged tam.
pering with mails, at home and
abroad, is being conducted. by the
postoffice department. charges having
been made that mail of embassies and
legations of belligerent countries has
been opened on United States railway
mail cars.
Sweden, 1t is said, has protested
sharply to London against interfer-
ence with mails.

Columb.> June 26.-After several
hearings, at which much testimony
was submitted, the State tax commits
sion has decided that it has no au-
thority to assess and equalize the
banking corporations of South Caro-
lima this year. The commission decid-
ed not to assess the banks, on the
ground that the assessments had been
liked under. the old law before the or.
ganization of the new board. The
banks were assessed by the county
boards early in the year and this as
sessment will stand for the present.
j. P. Derham, member of the COM
mission, introduced the following res
olution, which was adopted: "I move
therefore, that it is the sense of this
commission that we have no authority
to assess and equalize the banking
corporations of the State this year."
A resolution proposed by T. p. Goth
ran Of Greenville. one Of counsel for
the bankers,s proposing That .the- conss
mission not assess the banks this
year, was voted down by the commis-
sion.
More than two score bankers have
been in Columbia during the past
several days to attend hearings on the
assessment of banks by the commits
sion. Each bank filed a protest
charging that the law creating the
commission had not been legally
passed by the general assembly.
