.ONLY PLEASURE
BOAT is TAXED
Notice From Peoria States That
Craft Used TO Gain LiVeli-
hood Exempted.

Many inquiries relative to tire
tax on boats have been received by
the local revenue office. In this
connection the following notice has
been received by Deputy Collector
T. J. Cavanaugh from Collector
E. D. McCabe at Peoria:
It is held that any boat which
is used exclusively in connection
with any serious activity which
constitutes the business, occupa-
ton, profession or the means of
livelihood of the owner, is not sub
ject to tax. For example, a boat
used by physician in his profess
sion calling upon patients, or a
boat used to take out fishing par
ties for hire, such business consti-
tuting means of livelihood of the
owner of the boat, would not be
subject to tax.
Collectors in collecting special
taxes for the fiscal year 1920 will
be guided accordingly, and where
tax has been enormously paid, or
assessed, the taxpayer should be
advised of his privilege Of filling
form 46, claim for refund, or form
At, claim for statement, of the taxes
so enormously paid or assessed.

of Mrs Post was filed in the chancery

for trial. Judge Allison sent for the
divorce bill and, thinking 1t had been
filed in the circuit court, went into
that court and tried it without any
one learning the mistake. In other
words, the case was filed in the
chancery court and should have been
tried before Chancellor w. B. Gar

FRENCH MINERS
IN WALK-OUT
Strike on General Scale Goes
Into EffeCt-0ffSets Ru-
mored Settlement.

Paris, June 16.-(A. P.)-The
strike called by the federation of
miners went into effect this
morning. Dispatches from the
mining region indicated It was
general in scope.
Rumor Discredited.
Paris, June 16.-(By Telegraph
From New York World, Copyrighted)
The rumored settlement of the
French miners general strike is dis
credited at the headquarters of the
Federation of French Labor.
Satisfied with the way the eight
hour day is to be applied in their
work, the miners are not going out
on general strike next Monday. Dur
ing conversation with one OF the
secretaries of the French labor COM
mittee, it was learned today that
while the federation objects ito the
French socialist party's ATTEMPT tc
bring politics into the strikes, II has
to take into consideration the fact
that out of every ten union men four
have political aims, and their wishes
and claims have to be considered.
While this shows a slight minority.
many have reason TO believe 1t could
easily develop into a majority, par
ticularly in view of the fact that the
government had to be called upon by
the strike leaders TO attempt to adj
lust affairs instead OF coming for
ward on its own initiative.

Juarez seemed a city of the dead
as the night shades drew over the
shattered and deserted streets. The
dead lay in distorted attitudes about
the curbing, an occasional Mexican
cur shifting at them. Civilization
and the United States seemed far
away instead of a scant mile.
At IL o'clock word was received
from Ell Paso that the American
troops were preparing to come over
and quell the disturbance. AS there
was no disturbance in Juarez at that
time, the firing having almost ceased,
little credence was placed in this re-
port.
