All this rot about the paving
which they pay for, they have to

why they do II. not because they
are fond Of doing 50.

iden: W. Fl Baker OF the Phillies.
speaking OF the proposed deal with
Charley Herzog, manager OF the club.
Combating. III. Baker said: Yves,
j have been out with Herzog. He came
in and was with me for quite a wine.
Just how tie deal,is going to come out;
] can't Say, because as ! said, Doom
seems determined not to play in Gin.
cinuati. Herzog left for his home in
Maryland and I don't know when he
VIII be back. so that's the way matters
stand at present, Just as Il did before
our conference.s
When Herzog arrived in Philadel.
phia he believed that Charley Doom
would accept his offer. Just what that
cffer was. neither Herzog, Baker nor
Doom was willing to state, but It must
have been n fairly large sum from the
way In which Baker talked Of Dooin's
refusal TO accept -.
Doom has repeatedly stated that he
would not play in Cincinnati, but II
seemed 70 be the personal opinion at
the Philliesf Headquarters that he
would finally sign with the Reds. How.
ever, after this latest ocer made by
Herzog and Dooin's refusal to accept,
the AFFAIR Is at O deadlock.

War Tax Measure
Perplexes Ministers
QUESTION is RAISED ABOUT
PLACING STAMPS ON MAR
RAGE CERTIFICATES.

The question Of the war tax has
caused the ministers here consider
able concern. The question whether
or not a revenue stamp is required
on a marriage license Is q perplexing
one. In order that there may be a
ruling on the question all of the min.
listers WITH but q single exception, SO
far as the county courts office re.
veals, have been returning the IL
censes without a stamp. One minis.
ter has placed a ten cent revenue
stamp on all OF the marriage scertln:
Gates where he has solemnized the
ceremony since the operation OF the
new revenue measure.
1t is the consensus Of opinion that
a marriage certificate does not need
a ten cent revenue stamp. In some
counties 1t has been the usage that
the county clerk put on the stamp,
the man taking out the license paying
the revenue. Aman who procured a
marriage license in Monongaiia coun:
ty was married to the woman Of his
choice by a mSlister on the east side
OF the river and on the license was
a notation Of ten cents. The man
explained that he had paid the county
clerk Of mongolia county ten cents
for the stamp and that when the Ger.
tifcate had been returned to his Of.
lcet executed that he would attach
the stamp.
Revenue Officer j. L. Blocker was
