A CORPORATION TRICK

The latest dodge to avoid the income tax that million
are moneysackers of the east have got to system
of bearer warrants which conceas the identity of the
real of corporation stocks Federal investigators
found they up against stone wall when they un-
dertook to learn who the of certain stocks
The warrants issued payable to bearer with other
designation of ownership upon them and the holder SIM
ply took his coupons to any bank and deposited them
without endorsement and secured his money The bank
in turn forwarded the coupon to the corporation which
it drawn and got its money Thus the issuance of
warrants holding, and cashng Of dividends could all be
done without anyone being the wiser to who was the
real owner of the stock The practice is one
though not applied before in just this to corpora
ton stock certificates and warrants 1t is probable legs
aton preventing this of the practice will be had at

Today there toddled to my door man who

be bore, and his long spiel l would not

but he insisted it was great, the kind of
stuff that hits the spot, and makes man

week to such a line of bunk as his. He
stunned the topics abhor; he did not tell
in ringing tones, how he would run the

peared to control it yesterday.
The general staff buildings and Win

cisive stage between the forces Of order
and disorder is rapidly approaching. AT
a joint meeting Of the workmen's and
soldiers and peasants councils a reso-
luton was adopted in reference to the
ministerial crisis to the effect that the
departure Of the cadet ministers cannot
be made the Eretext for deprfving the

On the other hand, the resignation of
the cadets makes 1t imperative for de-
mocracy to redetermine its attitude re-

Therefore general assembly councils of
workmen's and soldiers delegates and
peasants must be convoked. and such
assembly will meet within a fortnight

Ask Aid From Kronstadt.

The Maximalists have asked for more
help from Kronstadt, most Of the Kron-
stadt contingent having returned home.
1t was rumored that a second influx of
Kronstadt sailors might be expected
before last night.
The st. Peter and St. Paul fortress,
although commanded by a Maximalist
regiment. apparently Is not in full SYM
pathy with the insurrectionists. The
garrison at the fortress refused the de-
mand of q machine gun contingent of
the Maxinalists to give them arms.
M. Tchernoff. minister of agriculture,
was arrested at the duma by Maxlma-
lists, who started to take him way in
an automobile as a hostage as he was
delivering an address from the steps
of the building. The minister was
roughly handled by the crowd. but as
he was being taken from the ground
he was recognized by Thotzky, one Of
the agitator Lenines lieutenants, who
protested and harangued the minister's
captors and secured his release. The
taking into custody of M. Tchernon is
accounted for by the rumor concerning
the arrest of M. Tcheidse. president of
the central executive committee Of the
council of workmen's and soldiers
delegates.
