including that of IL per cent on cor
porations' incomes of last year in ex-
cess of credits previously allowed. but
fixes the rate for subsequent years at
10 per cent.

BROAD ST. CHURCH
RAISES PASTORS PAY

In appreciation Of his splendid work
al Broad-street Methodist church.
ana in View OF the fact that the wear
Just closed has been one OF the most
successful and prosperous in the his
Tory of the church, the board OF
stewards last night, unanimously de-
termned to increase the salary of
Kew. Fred r. Chenault to $4,000 for
the coming year This is n raise OF
$500 year. and Is exclusive of the
parsonage.
When Clay-street church was sold
and the membership privileged TO
transfer itself nearly half a. hundred
members Of the church joined Broad
street church. The record of the
church for the year just closed was
the best in Its history. The average
contribution amounted to $3.50 per
member, despite the fact that a large
lumber of the young men are in the
army, and many of them have been
away from the church for more than
a year.
At the meeting OF the board last
, night many com plimentary remarks
were made about the pastor. and it
was felt that even the fine raise of
$500 was not sufficient to pay for the
excellent services rendered The
b board indicated it's intention of doing
great things during the coming year.

WATER FREEZES ON THREE
FIRE Quilted HOMES

Alexandria, Va, Jan. 7.--Three
small frame dwelling houses on the
south side or pendleton between Royal
and Pitt streets. occupied by colored
families. were Quilted by fire shortly
before / o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The houses are known as 400, 4o2
1ud tof -faendfetpn street
They were occupied as Follows
400 by Samuel Contee: 402 by Mag
gle Wilson and 404 by Mile James,
The fire started IN the house
occupied by the James woman and
was caused by sparks from her
litchen stove igniting a portiere. The
woman was in the backyard at the
time and made futile effort to ex-
tingush the blaze.
Most of the occupants rescued their
effects except the Wilson woman who
lost most OF her furniture.
Former occupants OF the houses
presented a pitiful picture as they
stood shivering In the cold about their
little effects which they had gath
cred about them In the commons
directly opposite the burned houses.
The houses are owned by DIR.
George r. klipstein. and the loss Is
partially covered by insurance.
Fireman worked more than an hour
in fighting the fire and the houses
were coated with fcicies, the water
freezing almost as fast as it was
thrown,
