p GARAGE IS BURNED.

A garage on the rear of the proper
ty of Prof. r. Y. Maxey in Forest ave-
nue. was completely ruined by fire this
afternoon. 1t was quite fortunate that
Prof. Maxeys machine was out of the
garage at the time and nothing of any
great value was burned. Prof. Maxey's
young son, Ward, who is about five
years old, burned some leaves and
trash at the side of the garage and
from this fire the garage caught. The
fire department soon after its arrival
had the blaze under control and pre-
vented its spread to nearby property.

New York Detectives Find Goods
Said to Have Been Stolen
i'm Paterson

Detectives here reported yesterday
that they had recovered $4,000 worth
of silk stolen recently from firms in
Paterson, N. j., and had arrested seven
men in connection with the thefts. Of
the loot recovered $4,000 worth is said

brother, of the same address; Abraham.
Groner, of POT Hartman Avenue;
Julian Arlington, of 10S Water Street
Harry kuran, of 472 Union Avenue

All the controls Of the seaplanes will
be worked by electricity. The pilots
will handle wheels just as in the case
Of ordinary aircraft, but instead of
controlling the elevators, rudders and

an electric motor, which, in turn, will
move the controls. The wing struts

aluminium alloy instead of wood.
Commander Holden C. Richardson,
who designed the hulls Of the NC sea-
planes, and piloted the NC-3 across
tho Atlantic, has been assigned to
design the hulls of the new seaplanes
There is every possibility he will be
chosen as one of the pilots.

Passengers Catch
Liner With Tugs
Seagoing Taxi Fleet Puts
Quintet aboard the I'M
perator After She Sails

Arthur Hammerstein, son Of the latc
impresario, missed the boat yester-
day. He landed in a taxicab at the
Cunard pier Just as the stern Of the
eastbound liner 1mperator swung into
midstream, and his 100-yard dash for
the place where the gangplank had
been was brought to a sudden stop.
Ina Claire, the actress, who is Mrs.
Hammerstein, was at the pier on time.
The master Of the tug lying at the
strngpiecc took the couple aboard,
overhauled the Imperator off Christie
pher Street, and put them on. Mr..
Hammerstein had neglected to have
his passport vised at the British Con-
sulate and a hurried trip to Whitehall
Street caused him to miss the ship
The Hammcrsteins had barely got
under way in their chase downstream
when along came Mr.. and Mrs David
Paul Brown. They caught a. glimpse
Of the smiling face of Dick Wray,
master of the big seagoing taxitug
John Nichols. There was a wink and
nod and a fraternal high sign, and
soon the Browns were rushing south
also were put aboard
Meanwhile the tug Lewis Pulver
moved toward the stringpiece, the
skipper remarking that it was the open
season and that there might be IAN
other late bird coming along" He
had about given up hope when speed
ing down the pier came the fastest be-
lated sprinter of the day He wa.

Permits Corporations
To Increase CAPITAL
Decision, Wall Street Bankers
Say, AuoUs Big Concerns to
COrer 4ddifi03s Durine [Tor

Wall Street bankers in commenting
yesterday on the stock dividend de-
cision said it would permit corporations
which had prospered greatly during the
war to raise their capitalization suffi-
ciently to cover the heavy additions to
actual property value that have been
made. Many Of the corporations en-
gagged in war work and postwar ac-
tivities tremendously expanded their
properties out of earnings and their
capital remained unchanged
In the financial district the Standard
OH companies, Crucibic Steel, General
Motors Corporation, Stutz Motors,
Chandler Motors, United States Rub
ber and the Texas Company are men,
toned as the companies most likely
to be affected by the court decision.
Although the market opinion, as re-
vealed by the action of stocks, is that
the decision is exceedingly favorable
to stockholders, bankers pointed out
that the decision does not add any
actual tangible properties to the com
panics. 1t merely they said, permits
the corporations to emerge from a
state of undercapital lization and recog-
nlze the new condition of their prop
critics without yielding most of the
enhanced values to the government in
the form of taxes.

dcnds instead Of cash dividends upon
surpluses now in their treasures.
Treasury officials were asked if this
would be possible with respect to
profits earned during the calendar or
fiscal year 1910.
1T is the informal conclusion of the
Treasury that corporations which have
not yet filed their income tax returns
may dispose of their surplus earnings
in any way that they see fit. IL u
given company, for example, wishes to
use it's 1919 surplus to increase it's
capitalization instead of paying that
surplus out in cash to sharehol lders, az
it might have been inclined to do,
that company is at liberty to take adj
vantage of the courts ruling to avoid
the income tax which it's stockholders
would have to pay on such cash divi-
dends.
AS explained by officials to-day. the
Treasury is not concerned in the dis
| position which corporation may make
OF Its surplus earnings. 1t is only
after those earnings are paid to tho
stockholders that they become taxable
Now they only become taxable if paid
in cash. Prior to to-day the govern
ment collected upon them even when
paid out in stock.
Eugene NJ. Travis, State Comptroller
who spoke on Estate Financial Pro
blcms" last night at the City Club, sale
that the administration Of the state
income tax law would remain 'nn
changed for the present, in spite of the
| decision of the Supreme Court.
He said that probably suit to tes
the constitutionalty of the state in
come tax law in that respect would be
brought soon and until it had beer
brought and decided or until another
policy had been fixed, the state would
continue to collect tax on stock divi
dends.
