Finance Committee
Hearing Complaints
About Revenue Bill

Washington, May 11.-While the
house continued debate on the govern
ment's 81 100000 revenue bill, the
senate finance committee today began
its hearings on the measure. Testimony
from those affected by the income, ex-
cess profits, beverages and tobacco
taxes were heard.
Paul D. Cravath, Bethlehem Steel
company, and ]. A. Kratz, Lackawanna
Steel company, speaking on the income
tax, objected to tax ON stock dividends
They said none of their stockholders
objected to tax on incomes, but point
ed out that stock dividends really don't
amount to actual dividends, because
they take nothing from the corpora
tion and add nothing to the income of
the stockholders. On the contrary, they
held, if such stock dividends were tax
ed the men held it would amount TO a
tax on the stockholders capital
Kratz pointed out that frequently
there would be double taxation because
stock of subsidiaries taxed might be
the property of the same man who own
ed stock of the parent company which
also would be taxed.
Both closed by urging particularly
that stock dividends allotted before
the law takes effect be exempted.
The committee expects to complete
hearings next Tuesday night and all
briefs bust be in by that time.

Coast League Having
Good Season Despite
The War Conditions

With retrenchment. schemes agitat-
ing baseball leagues throughout the
East and with mogu1s of the majors
prophesying that the war will result
in the closing of all the ball parks in
1913, it might be expected that the
Coast league would begin to get a

So far. however, the magnaes of Allan
T. Baum's circuit HAYES imply stood
pat and have given no indication of
any thought of altering their plans,
writes AL c. Joy in the San Francisco
Examiner.
Merrily the Coast league goes on it's
way, with each club carrying 10 men
and with the magnates expressing
themselves as satisfied with business
up to the present moment.
The possibility of losing players
through CONSUMPTION for the army is
not yet disturbing the magnates. The
raising of the first unit of the Ameri-
can army will take many weeks, and
the number of men taken from each
city Of the league will be COMPARE
lively. few. 1t is not figured that the
first draft will call out enough players
to disrupt any. of the clubs. In fact,
1t is highly probable that none of the
players will actually bee allied out for
the next six months. and by that time

Merkle Came Back
at Boxing Promoter
49, Who Pulled Bad Bone
(sporting News.)

1t is hard to believe there will be
any man., least of all one interested
in sports, who has not heard of Fred
Merlzle, yet listen to this story, told
by Catcher Rowdy Elliott of the Chi
cago Cubs, who says it is true and
that Merkle will back him up lin it.
It has, as it's butt, one Jack Kearns,
a Cali 'ornia boxing promoter, who is
a friend. of Elliott and counts himself
for that reason qualified to meet UP
and converse with ball players.
Kearns, coming East, stopped in
Chicago and looked up Elliott to re-
new acquaintance. After the two
had snapped news Items. chiefly
dealing with how things were going
in California, Elliott, who had been
talking to Fred Merk1e, turned and in
troduced him to Kearns.
Kearns, the sporting man, manager
of boxers and friend of ball players,
said:
Seems to me I have heard of you,
but 4 can't quite place you. oh, yes,
can place you. Weren't you a foot
ball, player before you took up base
ba1l?''
Yes said Merkle with a grim
smile, 81 used to be famous for my
boot plays
And then Merkle, not to be outdone
and having a fine sense of humor, said
to Kearnss the fight manager:
"And you're the man who manages
Peter jackson; he's the middleweight
champion now, isn't he?''
