LOCAL OFFICE WAS
COLLECTING $4,000
MONTHLY STAMP TAX
Internal Revenue Collector Redeem.
ing Stamps Made Useless
by Bill

When Congress, during the waning
hours of the Sixty-fourth session. re-
pealed the stamp tax clause in the reve-
nue. bill, 1t deprived the government of
approximately $4,000 monthly In internal
revenues from Alabama and Mississippi
John D. McNeel, collector of internal
revenue for Alabama and Mississippi, es-
timated yesterday that the aggregate
sum from the stamp tax clause was So
900 monthly since November, 1914, when
the emergency measure became effective.
To produce such a sum of revenue, the
government was forced to issue several
million stamps to be affixed upon pro-
prietary medicines, insurance policies,
certificates of Indebtedness, agreement OF
sales. bills of ladings. and other docu-
ments of this nature. Nearly 100000
was realized from the sale of stamps In
Alabama and Mississippi In two years.
The collector estimated that Alabama
provided about IS per cent of the aggre-
gate sum. He would offer no conjec-
ture as to the amount of the burden that
Birmingham had borne monthly since the
adoption of this feature.
At the collectors office the clerks are
kept busily engaged in redeeming stamps
that were purchased from the local office
prior to the repeal of the measure. Sew
eral hundred dollars worth of unused
stamps were In the possession of local
firms when President Wilson signature
killed the stamp tax clause.

PATRIOT OF Go
WOULD DO HIS BIT
Veteran With Three Sons in
Army Joins, Too, and
Falls in Battle

London, August 19.-Hardly a day
passes without bringing with it some
striking story of the world war, but
few of those recorded have been more
inspiring than that of lieutenant in
the British army, aged 6S, who has
just been killed in the big push" This
is the story, in fact, of the devotion
of a whole family, each member OF
which is doing his or her bit to help
win the war, even the four daughters,
one of whom is chauffeuse to the
Duchess of Marlborough.
The British lieutenant of only two
years short of 10 who has lust laid
down his life was Henry Weber of
IIorley in Surrey. There, previous to
the war, he was a we'll known sports
man and athlete and j. p. This means
a justice of the peace, just as it does
in America. but in England the title
is a considerable distinction, signify
ing at least that its possessor is a
man of substance and distinction in
his locality.
The late Lieutenant Weber, who
belonged to the South Lancashire regi-
ment, is the father of three sons as
well as of four daughters As soon as
war broke out all these sons went to
the front and all three have since dis
tinguished themselves. The eldest of
them. Col. N. W. Weber, of the royal
engineers. Canadian staff, has won the
distinguished service order and been
mentioned in dispatches five times.
The second son, Maj. Morris Weber,
of the royal field artillery, was wound
ed at the front and az soon as he was
convalescent went out again. The third
of the sons, Capt H. H. Weber, is a
member of the royal garrison artil-
Iery. All three of these sons, it will
be noted, hold a higher military rank
than that which their father after the
most strenuous efforts, eventually was
successful in obtaining. Besides them,
two sons-in-law of the late Lieuten-
ant Weber, who are Junior officers,
are serving in different parts of the
world.
MY father went to France last May
after only a fortnight's training" said
one of Lieutenant Webber's daughters
I'm spite of his age, he was tremen-
dously keen to go out--so much 50
that he walked from London to Dor
king-a. distance of 80 miles-and from
Dorl<ing to Horley, in his determine
| ton to see the lord lieutenant and OBJ
tain his commission.
so mad was he to do his Bit as
he called it, that he worried the war
office day and night.
my father had hunted all his life
| particularly with the Surrey stag
hounds, and no exercise even al his adj
vanced age, was too much for him.
| His last letters from the front were
| full of enthusiasm regarding the sit
uation."
In a letter to the vicar of Horley a
| month ago Lieutenant Weber wrote:
well, here / am in the thick of it.
| fit N h1nnV and T like
work"
Mr.. F. J. Nightingale. the coroner for
Reigate, informed a Daily Express rep
resentative that 1t was nothing for
Lieutenant Weber to walk from Croy-
don to Horley, distance of IT miles.

him in the morning and have been
