CONDEMN STORES
 IN FACTORIES

Cooperative stores started by fac tories came in for discussion at the annual state outing of retail butch CTS and grocers held at Lake Com bounce yesterday.
 During the afternoon. a lunch was served and an informal business meeting held. William Cowlishaw of New Britain. who was one of the Connecticut delegates to the national convention, gave an interesting re- port and told the views of the retail grocerS about the cooperative stores started by factories and other large employers of labor. It was said that the convention held the view that factories are eneroaching upon grocers, butchers and storekeepers who pay rent, taxes and other ex- penses and do a legitimate business
 It was pointed Tout that this com petition is cutting deeply into the bus mess of stores which have enjoyed a large patronage of factory em- ployees.
 The state meeting approved these views, as %as shown by brief expres- sions of opinions from visitors from all parts of the state. It is consld cred as likely that when the state association holds it's regular business convention some action may be taker against further encroachments by these cooperative stores.

RULES TO COVER
 COUNT RULE ON STOCK DIVIDENDS

Washington, Aug. 1S.--A ruling was handed down today by Paul r. Myers, Noting Commissioner of Internal Rev. nue, which is intended to meet the Supreme Court decision in the case of Eisner vs. Macomber, in which the court held that stock dividends were not taxable income. The Govern ment maintains in the ruling it's po- sition that, under certain conditions the tax attaches even in the case of stock dividends.
 The ruling, which was addressed to to collectors of Internal Revenue and others concerned is as follows:
 Stock received as a dividend does not constitute taxable income to the stookholder, but any profit derived by , the stocixho1der from the sale of such stock is taxable income to him. For l the purpose of ascertaining the gain or loss derived from the sale of such stock, from the sale of the stock with respect to which it is issued, the cost (used to include also, here re- squired, the fair market value as of March 1, 1913) of both the old and new shares is to be determined in ac- tcordance with the following rules:
 "Q) Where the stock issued as a dividend is all of substantially the Same character or preference as the Lstock upon which the stock dividend
  fthe old and new stock will be the uuotient of the cost, or fair hnarket value as of March 1, 1913, if acquired prior to that date, of the old shares of stock divided by the total number of the old and new shares
 "C2) Where the stock issued as a dividend is in whole or in part of a character or preference materially ydifferent from the stock upon which tthe stock dividend is paid, cost, or fair market value as of March 1, 1913, If acquired prior to that date, of the old shares of stock shall be divided be- tween such old stock and the new stock, or classes of new stock, in pro- portion, as nearly as may be, to the respective values of each class of stock, old and new, at the time the new shares of stock are issued, and the cost of each share of stock will tbe the quotient of the cost of the class ito which such shares belongs divided ,by the number of shares in that iclasS
 -(3)-Wherc the stock with respect ito which a stock dividend is issued was purchased at different times, and kat different prices and the identity of the lots cannot be determined, any sale of the original stock will be enlarged to the earlier purchase of stocks (See Article 39,) and any sale kof dividend stock issued with respect to such stock will be presumed to have been made from the stock issued with Irespect to the earliest purchased stock Ito the amount of the dividend charge able to such stock"

losses Of Americans. The report was based on the testimony obtained from 297 witnesses heard here, in New ' Eork and on the border. and mass of dOcu- mentary evidences.
 The report sets forth that since the MaGerO revolution began there have been killed in Mexico 461 Americans and many other foreigners. The mum Der of Americans killed on the Amer lcan side was placed at 126.
 The aggregate damage that the com mittee estimated should be paid for the deaIh Of these Americans was given as SI4,675, 900, while the total summary of losses incurred by Americans in Mex ico was placed at $505, 002.434 Losses suffered by the National railways was placed at $S0,000,0 GOO and for other rail ways in Mexico there was credited a loss aggregating S60 .00O GOO. The losses or one American mining concern was fixed at S25 000 900. but it was pointed out, much of the loss had been borne by small property owners.
 Population Shrinks One Third
 According to the investigations of the committee, the population of Mex ico has decreased nearly one-third since 1910 as a, direct result of the dis turbed condition. Much of this is due 10 disease, attributed in a large per centaSe, 1t is asserted. to starvation.
 During this period, it was claimed Mexican authorities have displayed a hostile attitude towards the United States and as an indication of the manner in which the Carranza admin istration regarded the United States and its president, theie was published in the report the following copy Of a letter written by Candido Aguilar, son in-law of Carranza. to EIizo Arredondo Mexican minister at Madrid three weeks after Aguilar had placed a wreath on Washington's tomb:
