Application of Law. e In brief the mew war tax is very much the same as that imposed at the time of the Spanish war in 1898 There are some variations to be sure, nmbng which are the omission of two cent stamps on bank checks, on the previous occasion and also the stamps on patent medicines. Tollet preparations are the only articles in the proprietary line now requiring stamps. “The.

Auto_of Former New London Mayor Knocked Joseph Gerbin Down. P Alleging that former Odayor L. Arm- strong, of New London, was careless, negligent and reckless in operating one of his automobiles in New York city on the afternoon of April 28, 1913, a day, suit.for. $30.000 damages has stuted by J Who claims that the Armstrong car felled him 6n East 20th street, cau Ing injerles from which s will bed permanent sufferer. Armstrong was nuched by gnemt M J. Martin Saturday. The action cites that on noon. of April 28th at about 3 o'colck Gerbin was attempting to. cross, East, 20th street, near and 'west of ‘Third, avenue, and while in the highway the| Armstrong car, bearing stats lma numbzr g alonk. Gerbin could not set out of the path of the approaching: dar, struck Dy the. machine which was bound eastward at - a_ high rate of, speed and was felled. Gerbin was rum| aver by the car, and his head struck the ‘pavement . with such force as to produce concussion of the brain, Which afterwards. developed’ e fracture. Ger- bin alieges that he suffered numerous severe and. painful bruises and con- tusions and shock, for the treatment of which he was compelled to maks a large expenditure and from which he will always be-a sufferer. Gerbin alleges that Mr. Armstrong did not have the auto under control, nor did he sound signals. i -°°NN_ECTICU+ J EwiSH FARMER Praised at Big National Convention of Federation in New York.

SWer to a telegram to Washington, Col James J. Walsh received a de- clsion from headquarters which is of importance to collectors everywhere. Tho telegran was as fonowe: “James J. Walsh, Collector, Hart- ford, Conm: Only original bills of lading require stamps, but duplicates should have written or stamped there- or, ‘original duly stamped’ Where charge does not éxceed 5 cenmts, bill of lading does not require stamp. Please notify trafic department. 'W. H. Osborn, Commissioner. “Washington, Nov. 30, 1914.” In regard to the present situation, Collector Walsh magde the following statement: “According to law, the responsibil- ity is all on the taxpayer, especially where- the~stamps may be lost when sent by other than registered mail There can be no particular criticism of the present handling of the tax, for conditions have moved much more smoothly than when the war tax was levied for the Spanish-American war. At that time there were not S0 many offices in this state or others where the payments could be made; for then there was ‘only the Hartford and New Haven offices in Conpecticut. At the present time this district is in - a much better ition for paying uxd receiving the than is the state of Massachusetts. In this “district, in- cluding Rhode Island and Connecti- cut, there are offices at Hartford, New Haven and at. Providence, and I have installed one at Bridgeport far the purpese of supplying the denom- inational stamps. This laiter action 1 have taken on my own responsibility, as the government does not require it “In Massachusetts there is but onc office Where the orders can be made. That is in Boston and the officials there are in a worse fix than we have been in Hartford. We are exerting every effort to accommadate the public but are naturally held down by- regula- tioris to_giving out stamps to stamp deputies and not to other sources of delivery. Thé response of the post- masters will help to a considerable amount, but it is not compulsory for them to accept stamps for sale. CONGREGATIONAL e MINISTERS’ ASSOCIATION. London.

WELCOMED TO BOSTON. Jr,, Now Connected Witk iders Co. The ~New England Grocer and Tradesman in its Nov. 20th {ssue said: ‘When we called at the store of the William M., Flanders Co., wholesale grocers, India street, a few days ago, we were somewhat surprised and a good deal pleased to encounter a fa- miliar face and a well remembered personality. This is not a reminiscence of old times, for Noah Rogers, Jr., is a young business man, one of the well known figures in the wholesale grocery business of New England. Mr. Rogers was formerly with Stoddard, Gilbert & Co., wholesale grocers, New Haven, Conn. He managed the Norwich branch of the house and must have occupied that position 12 years or more. We are glad that the New England metropolis will hereafter have the benefit of Mr. Rogers’ experience and ability, and we congratulate both him and the Wiliam M. Flanders Co., with whom he is mow connected, on this mutually advantageous arrange- ment. We could exchange reminiscences Tith Mr. Rogers tn connection with the Worcester Salt special train & few years ago.
