within China. Income tax exemption
is granted to corporations SO organized
in proportion to the stock owned by
American citizens resident in China or
by Chinese citizens. provided the

The great majority Of these COM

The first attempt to have legisla-
ton passed which would enable
American companies to incorporate
under federal statute and conduct
opened to companies made up and
controlled by other nationals was
made in June, 1918, when the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
with the approval of William C. Red
field, then Secretary of Commerce,
sponsored an act ito provide for the
Incorporation Of companies for carry
cial view to American companies
operating in China" This step was
taken after the Department Of Com
merce had received numerous re-
quests from American concerns, who
found it increasingly difficult to COM
who were granted certain special
privileges by Incorporating under the
national laws OF their respective
countries. 49,.
American commercial Organisations
and business concerns interested in
the China field were unanimous in
their demand that q tax.exemption
clause was an essential requisite to
the bill. The efforts Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce were given Q
great impetus by the action Of Hong
kong authorities in prohibiting Amer
lean executives holding once under
Hongkong ordinance corporations,
under which q number Of American
concerns, In tho absence OF United
States federal statute for incorpora-
ton, were obliged to operate.

taxi driver a quarter tip. When he
goes to lunch he tips the waiter and

dollar to hve dollars to a headwaiter
to get q good table. and quarter
more to the carriage starter for call

are not extravagantly tipped. The
man who owns a car has to tip garage
men, traffic policemen. and fee some
one for letting him park his car any,

ushers expect money for escorting

TT is some consolation to know
that the latest reports OF the con-

for from the first dispatches. 'Tis

Of the city have been swept by the
flames and 900 buildings destroyed.

THE PEGGY O'NIELL
WHITE HOUSE EPISODE

Undoubtedly the greatest hubbub
that was stirred up in the official
family at Washington, was brought
about through the stand President
Jackson took regarding charming
Peggy O'Niell the wife of his Ten
nessee Cabinet officer. Peggy O'Niell
was her maiden name, and John Hen
ry Eaton that of her husband.
The friendship between the Eatons
and Jackson caused a bitter social
war in Washington, and finally was
taken up in political circles. The re-
suit that it upset a Presidents Cabi-
net. Jackson demanding the resig-
nation of secretaries whose wives re-
fused to recognize Peggy; it played
an important part in thwarting the
Presidential hopes of a foremost
statesman and gave the prize to his
political rival, and resulted in the re-
call of at least one foreign minister.
Peggy was the daughter of a tav-
ern keeper, which was a horrible po-
sition for a woman in those days.
The wives of Washington politicians
began to heap abuse on the wife of
the Secretary of War: AM urged up
OIL IHClI nuSDdIUS " uO llktW lSe. buL
old Andy Jackson was a fighter, and
stood up for the woman, even though
his Cabinet tumbled, and disasters
came to a number Of others.
Peggy was noted for her beauty,
wit and vivacity. But when she was
suddenly elevated into the Cabinet
Social circles, charges were made
against her of improper conduct with
Eaton previous to their marriage. The
refusal of the wives of the Cabinet
members to recognize the wife of his
old friend angered Jackson and he
tried to coerce them.
At the time John G.. Calhoun was
the Vice President and Martin Van
Buren, was the Secretary of State.
They were rivals as aspirants to the
Presidency. Mrs. Calhoun, and the
wives of the secretaries would not
recognize Mrs. Eaton, and even Mrs.
Donaldson, the wife of President
,Jackson's nephew. and the then mis-
tress Of the White House. following
the death of Mrs. Jackson, took a
similar stand.
Several members of the Cabinet re-
fused to take houses in Washington
but lived in hotels in order that they
would not be compelled to entertain
the wife of the Secretary of War.
