GAS COMPANIES WIN
SUIT FROM DISTRICT
Entitled to Recover $34, 58.11 as
Deductions in Tax on Gross
Receipts.

The District Court of Appeals today
affirmed the decision of Justice Gould
of the District supreme Court that the
Georgetown Gas Light Company and
the Washington Gas Light Company
are allowed to deduct the cost of certain
raw materials from their gross receipts
before making return of the assessable
amount on which an annual tax OF "
per cent is TO be levied under the act
of July I. 1902. on the gross earn
ings of gas companies in the District of
Columbia"
The opinion of the appellate court
was rendered by Chief Justice CoVins-
ton of the District supreme Court, VINO
sat as member of the appellate tri-
bunal in the absence of Justice Van
OrsdeI. The court finds that the DIS
trict authorities have confused the
terms gross earnings" and gross re-
ceipts" which. while Identical in Ger
tain classes of business. may be ma =
terially different in the case of manu-
featuring concerns.

Argentine Ambassador Is
Confident Present Crisis
Will Be Quietly Settled

New York, June 2S. - Romulo S.
Naon, Argentine ambassador to the
United States issued a statement here
to-day in which he said that while he
lad made no offer of mediation look
ing to the settlement of the difficulties
between the United States and Mexico
he was "in candor confident that the
present crisis will be peacefully
settled"
The statement of the ambassador is
as follows:
"I have made no offer. but it is un-
necessary to say that the Argentine
government is always disposed to work
for the peace of America.
Pan -Americanism; which is vital
for all the countries of the continent,
whether great or small, strong or
weak, makes a war between two Am
erican nations utterly income eivable
I am, in candor, confident that the
present crisis will be peacefully
settled. We must make evident that
no matter how great the differences
between two American governments
the continental interests of union and
concord are supreme and inconsistent
with recourse to violence as a means
of settling international disputes in
America.
THE Argentine people and govern
ment are following this conflict with
the deepest concern and notwithstand-
ing the acuteness Of the crisis trust
that the inspiration of a sound, far
sighted political sense will prevail in
these hours, so full of perils for the
destinies of the continent"

War Department Ready
to ProUide Equipment
For All Troops Called
By associated Press

Washington, d. c., June 2S.-war
Department officials believe they have
perfected arrangements by which
ample supplies of food, equipage and
clothing will be provided for all troops
called into the Federal service, no mat.
ter how great the numbers may he.
Secretary Baker day made public
the following statement from the quar-
termaster-general:
THE quartermaster corps has, up to
the present time, met all the calls
made upon it for supplies in the way
Of clothing and equipage, and with the
arrangement which we now have for
purchasing in order to replenish stock
1t is not believed there will be any
difficulty. no matter how many troops
are called.
LAS far as food supplies are con-
cerned, these have been abundant in
quantity and of excellent quality, and
arrangements are such that the same
will continue when the large increase
of troops in Texas is made, the matter
being entirely handled by the depart
ment commander through the depart
ment quartermaster"
The only difficulty 50 far experienced
has been in obtaining a sufficient num-
Der of motor trucks of a certain type
preferred by army officials for border
use. Plenty of trucks of proper size
and power. but of different designs
are immediately available.
