SAYS WINNINGS ARE TAXABLE
Internal Revenue Collector Declares
Uncle Sam in on All Games
of Chance.

San Francisco.-Uncle Sam is deal
ing hand Of showdown and it looks
like a stacked deck.
Joseph J. Scott, collector of internal
revenue for the northern California
district, has officially decided that all
winnings" are taxable as income I'M
der this years income tax law. He
says profits of card games, bets or
other kinds of gambling come under
the head of speculative gain," and he
wants his share.
SO when you draw that card that
makes them "all blue" Uncle has his
hand in the pot; when your ten to
one shot ''comes through" he is stand
ing beside the bookmaker; and when
you pull for "seven or eleven" you
will hear him pulling with you.
Scott says the law will be enforced.
Stewards and managers of downtown
clubs have been asked to cooperate
with federal agents to figure the
amount of individual profits of men,
bers who participate in games of
chance.
But by strange inconsistency the
tax law does not work inversely. Win
nings are taxable, but losses are not
deductible. It's fine little game Of
"heads l win and tails you lose" with
Uncle Sam.

NEW INDUSTRY GROWS FAST
For the First Time in Its History the
United States Produces Litho-
graphic Stone.

Observation-Disclosures was a consid-
cradle production of photographic stone
in the United States for the first time
in it's history during 1916, according
to information received by G. F. Lough-
lin of the United States geological sur
vey. One quarry at Brandenburg, KY,
turned out 10000 pounds of finished
stone, for the first time shipping it
out of the state, buyers being found
for this pioneer American variety in
Cleveland, Washington, New York and
Boston.
The greatest difficulty in the develop
ment of photographic stone quarries in
the United States has been the high
cost of quarrying and preparing the
stone in competition with the we'll
known Bavarian stone. Much of this
stone is reported to occur in thin lay
ers that require only planning and pol
ishing before use, whereas all known
deposits in the United States that are
at all suitable for photographic work
occur in more massive beds that must
first be sawed into slabs of proper
thickness.

HOT BRICKS FOR GIRLS FEET
For Them While They Eat
Their Lunch.

Chicago.-"Six for the feet" yelled
William the waiter.
Coming up" came the echo from
the kitchen.
Smilingly, Jean the chef placed half
a dozen hard, inedible objects in the
oven. Thirty minutes later he opened
the door and, wetting a forefnger,
tapped one of them. There was a siz.
zle and little puff of steam.
"Done to a turn" he unused.
The front door opened and six merry
misses from the Monroe Telephone ex-
change entered the restaurant.
William disappeared in the rear and
re-entered, struggling with a heavily
laden tray, a broad grin on his face,
which was red with eXertion.
Beneath each small table he placed
two hot bricks, which chased the chills
from the neat feet resting comfortably
upon them.
''Some service" said the owners of
these extremities, beaming thanks.

LETTER FROM

March 1, IT.
Editor Leader:

March l, II.
Editor Leader:
Dear Sir: Allow me to express,
through the columns of your valua-
BILE paper, my thanks to the gentle
imam, Taxpayer No. 2, who holds such
a good opinion about me, and who has
suggested my nomination as a candi-
date in the coming aldermanic cleo
ton.
Though I consider it to be a great
honor to serve the people, in the mean
time | don't forget the responsible
ties pertinent to the office. And as my
business absorbs all my time, I feel
that I won't do justice to the expecta-
tons of my friends, and | won't be
able to serve the interests of the town
to the best of my ability.
However, beg to assure my fellow
citizens that I would never stop to do
my duty towards the town.
Respectfully,
Emanuel Macrinaris.

JAPAN PREPARES TO GAIN
CONCESSIONS AT TSINGTAU

TONIC, March 29.-Much conjec-
ture is being made here today to how
much Japan will add to her already
large interests in China as result OF
the war, but Baron Hayashi, japanese
Minister to Picking, here to confer
with his government, does not hesitate
to make it plain Japan is preparing to
ask China for a large concession at
Tsingtau, the colony seized from Ger
many.
Japan can dispose of the Shangtung
Railway without waiting for the peace
conference, and it Is absurd to doubt
that this railway line will not come
under japanese influence" Baron
Hayashi told the newspaper men,
Japan will also ask China to agree
to the establishment of a Japanese
concession at Tsingtau," he continued
But whether other foreign countries
will be permitted to establish settle
ments at Tsingtau. as in other Chinese
ports is a question which cannot dis
cuss now"

CHINA MAY ADOPT CLUBHOUSE
SYSTEM OF PARLIAMENT

PEKIN, March 29.-Parliament sit
ting at a constitutional conference has
rejected the section of the proposed
new constitution providing for two
houses of parliament, and it now seems
likely that a one-house system may be
adopted by China.
DR.. W. F. Willoughby, the American
constitutional adviser of the Chinese
government has urged for many
months that the bi-cameral system is
not well adopted to China's needs, and
the recent action of parliament was
prompted by the advice of DR.. Will
oughby and number of other experts
on government who have been in con-
merence with political leaders.
Under the present system in China,
based on a Marking provisional const-
tuition, both the house and senate are
elected directly by the people The
two bodies have an aggregate of nearly
one thousand members, and have prov
ed themselves very unwieldy.
Many newspapers and reform lead
ers are urging that parliament be lin
tied to one body of not more than three
hundred members.

intimate study of the infant mortality
rates from all causes.

TRIEST AUSTRIA SEEMS TO

there street lamp is lighted in the
interior streets. From the high house
walls breaks an occasional ray Of
light through the shutters. The dis

done little damage to Triest itself,
though some results have been achiev-
ed at points nearby. Some say that the
city has escaped bombardment be-
cause the Italian government does
lot want to earn the ill1will of the cit
liens it hopes to acquire by taking
Triest.
Upon the city looks from the north
west the Hermada, key to Triest, a
mountain whose crest is about three
miles long and from 900 to 800 feet
high. Before the Italians can take
Triest. the Hermada must be reduced.
This would not be true did the Italian
navy venture into the North Adriatic.
The Hungarian navy, though
inferior in numbers, has so far pre-
vented this, mainly by virtue OF the
submarines, one of which comes oc-
casionally to the surface in view from

JOHNNY KILBANE "IN BAD"
WITH FIGHT FANS IN NEW
YORK-MISJUDGED CROWD

NEW YORK, March ga short
time ago Johnny Kilbane came east tc
fight. He was matched with young
lightweight before a Syracuse, n Y
club and he agreed to allow this man
to enter the ring weighing 1873 pounds
but when it came weighing time and
the young opponent at the feather
weight champion hoped on the scales
weighing 1877 pounds Kibane refused
to fight.
The crowd went wild when it got
this news and a young riot was in
progress in very short time. The
club officials waxed indignant. In fact,
| everyone had brick and he aimed at
Kilbane's head
A few days later we'll known fight
fan came out with the statement that
KiIbane had gone wrong in his decla-
ration not to meet man who weighed
almost ten pounds more than himself.
Any man." he said, "featherweight
or no featherweight, who challenges
Freddie Welsh for the worlds light
weight title and agrees to let that
champion come into the ring weighing
1876 pounds should not be afraid to
meet a comparatively unknown man
who weighs 1877 pounds"
Now this fight fan may have been
at the ringside during the should
have been Syracuse fight, and may
not. If he was, there was an excuse
for his complaint, although it was a
lame one. But it is a certainty that
he didn't take into consideration the
fact that this youth may have been a
very hard hitter one capable of put
ting over the sleep wallop on Kill
bane's chin. Welsh, as is well known,
long ago lost the habit of knocking out
his opponents. He never even bruis IS
most of the men he meets.
Whether Kilbane was right or
wrong, it is a brass riveted cinch THAI
he did the best thing to protect what
little reputation is left him in a New
York ring Criticisms of the kind the
New York fan made are the very
things which have discounted Kill
bane's ability here Whenever New
York gets to the point of accepting
Kilhane at his real worth. which is al
most his weight in gold, it will see
some good fights something it does
not see when Freddie Wesh and some
OF the other high priced lads get into
action.
