UNCLE SAM Is TAXED
Camden Board DIsmIsses Appeal
AoaInst Shlpyard Assessments

Gloucester, N. j., can collect taxes
from Uncle Sam-that is, IL the deci-
sion today of the Camden county Board
of Taxation is upheld by the courts
The board dismissed the appeal OF the
United States shipping board and the
New York Shipbuilding Corporation
against tax assessments levied upor
new shipyards built by the government
in Gloucester.
When the Gloucester Board of AS
SCISSORS acted the shipyards were moi
completed. So the assessment wal

building Corporation on the property
used and 500, 900 against the United
States shipping board on machinery be
ing installed.
The contention of the shipping boart
was that it was part of the govern
ment and could not be assessed.
The Camden county board decided
that, while the shipping board wal
part of the government, it was a cor.
poration and therefore could be taxed

LEGISLATURE MAY
SAVE C|TYLOANS
Special Session Will Be Needed
If Taxpayers Suit Against
Issues Wins
IMPROVEMENTS MENACED

Various municipal improvements may
be held up pending a special session Of
the Legislature to relieve the munich
pality of Philadelphia from a shortage
that may ensue from taxpayers suit
tying up three big city loans.
The loans involved are the $67 100, =
900 councilmanic loan recently author
lied. If the suit shall be sustained
and the loans declared illegal, the Leg
islature may be asked to act to relieve
the situation.
George P. Atkinson, assistant direc
tor of the Department of City Transit,
said he did not believe the transit loan
would be classified with the other
municipal loan, as most of the contracts
were awarded before July %, the date
the charter took effect.
'"This department is not vitally con =
cerned, as most of eur contracts were
approved before the charter took effect"
said Mr.. Atkinson. 'The matter is a
legal one, and as we are not the de-
PENDANTS, I shall not make any forma
statement, other than to say that oul
payroll will be met and we shall &c
ahead with the transit improvements
until we are notified to STOP"
The taxpayers suit to restrain the
municipality from going on with the
three loans was entered by Solomon G.
Kraus, a real estate broker, in Com
mon Pleas Court No. yesterday.
The suit is believed to be the result
of anxiety Of financial interests to learn
whether the sale of municipal bonds to
float the three loans will be legal,
Authorized Before War
Two of the three loans involved are
the ones authorized by popular vote
several years ago. They were held up
by the war and other emergencies.
Many profess to believe that the inau
guration of the new charter changes
the status of the proposed loans.
The case will be heard before Judges
Barratt, Rogers and Vessel.
A bankers syndicate in which Drexel
4 Co. are the chief factors has
already bought $4,000, 900 in bonds OF
the councilmanic loan. Five per cent
of the stipulated price has been paid
Dy Iue DdHhtTS W Uluu IHe agreement
with the city: but before the bankers
sell the bonds to investors they desire
a settlement of the legal questions in =
volved.
The complications are a result of the
revision of the city charter. The new
acts of the Legislature provide that
current expenses Of the city government
may not be paid out of long term loans.
while the acts effective at the time
when these loans were passed, contained
no such provision.
Counsel's Contention
Joseph L. Kun, counsel for Mr..
Kraus, maintains that, although the
borrowing of these funds was author
lied before the revision of the char
ter, the actual borrowing did not take
place until after that time; and that
a loan is not reality until the money
has actually been turned over to the
borrower. For that reason, he charges,
the floating of these bond issues at this
time would be a violation of the city
charter.
Mr.. Kun today denied a report that
the suit was brought at this time as q
political move. He said that the filing

campaign was mere coincidence. Both
factions of the Republican party, he as =
serted, are similarly affected by the ac
tion.
A further objection is raised by the
plaintiff, who AYERS that any further
sale Of bonds of the $67. 100, 900 loan
would be illegal because the issue has
not been certified by the city controller,
John M. Walton. Before the new char
ter was enacted such certifcation was
not necessary but the new legislation
REQUIRES his signature of approval.

STUDENTS RIOT
CALLS TROOPS.
TWO Thousand Chinese Soldiers
Armed With Machine Guns
Needed to Put End
TO Turmoil.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. I
q CANTON, China. Nov. 1S-- (By Mail
to United Press) Two thousand
troops and machine guns were sent
out by the government and gunboats
were held ready on the river before
the government arrested eleven al
legged ringleaders in a riot OF stu.
dents here.
Students had raided the Sincere
company's stores, asserting that en-
ployes of the stores had struck stu
dents
Boycott these stores" the students
cried. They captured Sincere EN-.
ployes and placarded them with the
line, These men struck students"
One hundred police were first sent
to quell the students, but met with
slight success The police command
to cease rioting went unheeded A
student was bayonetted. Students then
rushed the police and disarmed some
of them. The students retained con.
troll of one store for twenty-four
| hours.
Undaunted by the show of force by
the government, the students an
nounced they will sue the Sincere
company because it's employees struck
students, and will also sue the police
force for interfering.
