The department upholds the or- | der of the Collector. Urtil recently it had been the practice | to allow merchants having tea in United States bonded warehouses in transit for 0 and Central America to repack the > in_one pound and half pound pack- ages and replace them in the original pack- age cently a special agent of the treasury called the attention of the Col- lector to the fact that such repacking, | while not fraudulent, was in violation of the regulations of the Treasury Depart- ment, and upon that representation the Collector refused to grant any further permits to renack teas. As the prohibition worked much hard- ship to tea importers, Folger & Co. pre- pared a test case and the matter was pre- sented before the Secretary of the Treas- ury, who ruled against the tea importers. —_———— Ayer’s Annual.

THAT RE SCENE OF THE EARLY MORNING FIRE ON VALLEJO STREET, BETWEEN ULTED IN THE DEATH OF ONE WOMAN AND RENDERED HOMELESS TWENTY FAMILIES, FIVE TENEMENTS BEING ALMOST TOTALLY DESTROYED BY THE FLAMES. MONTGOMERY AND SANSOME, WENTY families were rendered homeless yesterday morning by the fire that destroyed a number of residences on the southeast cor- ner of Vallejo street and Prescott place, between Montgomery and Sansome streets, Mrs. Antonia Taratini, an aged | widow, who resided at 3 Prescott place, was terribly burned. ing in the Emerg Although m: onflicting statements were made as to the cause of the fire, Captain Comstock of the Underwriters’ Fire Patrol is of the opinion that hot | ashes in a wooden barrel were the means of starting the conflagration. The rapid work of the Fire Department prevented what might have been a holo- caust. In the early hours of the morn- | ing, when the inmates of the houses were sleeping soundly was sounded. he like tinder and only the heroic efforts of Chief Sulllvan and the men of the Fire Department kept the flames within bounds and permitted of the escape of | the occupants. The residents in the burning were panic stricken and in the excite- ment of escaping many Dersons were re- ported to have lost their lives. After the flames were quenched a care- fu! investigation was made and the only accident reported was that in which Mrs. Antonia Taratini was fatally burned. The unfortunate woman was unable to leave her room at 3 Prescott place, being a sufferer from paralysis. Her son-in- law, M. Garcla, first conveyed his wife Hospital. returned for his invalld mother-in-law. The old lady was lying near the burning walls of her room and almost every por- tion of her body was deeply burned. She was hastily conveyed to the street by Garcia and removed in a patrol wagon to the Harbor Hospital. Her injuries were attended to there and later in the 2 NEW DECISIONS ON WAR TAXES Internal Revenue Ruling of Interest to Busi- ness Men. Decisions as follows have been promul- gated by the Internal Revenue Commis- sioner: Deeds and mortgages executed before July 1, 1901, must be stamped at the rate provided for in the old law, even though the instruments are recorded on or after July 1, 1901. It is the date of execution, usually the date of delivery, that deter- mines the taxability of an instrument. The date of recording is immaterial. The new act reduces the tax on deeds to 2 cents per $00 on the amount over $2500, deeds where the value of the prop- erty or the consideration is not over $2500 being exempt. A quitclaim deed given merely to cor- rect an error in a former deed and con- taining a recital showing the purpose of its execution and stating that it is given without valuable consideration is not tax- able. The same rule applies to a quit- claim deed given by a person who has no title, provided the grantov receives” no consideration for the deed. No tax accrues on gift deeds, nor on deeds from a husband to a third party and from that party to the wife of the first grantor, when such conveyances are executed for the purpose of making a gift. Partition deeds executed by and be- tween joint tenants or tenants in com- mon, where no valuable consideration passes, are not subject to tax. No stamp taxes are required on deeds to or by trustees executed without valu- able consideration. Where real property is conveyed sub Ject to a mortgage, if the deed itself con- tains an agreement that the grantee shall assume the mortgage, thereby becoming llable for a deficlency judgment in case of foreclosure, then the deed must be stamped for the amount of the mortgage in addition to the value of the equity of redemption. If there is no agreement making the grantee liable for g:yment of the mortgage the deed is to stamped at the value of the equity of redemption alone. However, where the mortgagor conveys to the mortgagee and part or all of the consideration is the release of the mortgage, or where the grantor pays only a portion of the consideration in money and gives a mortgage for the re- mainder of the purchase price, the deed must be stamped for the full value of the property. A legacy to an adopted child is taxable as to a stranger in blood, unless the adopted child happens to be related as nephew or nlece, etc. onds of brewers, cigar and tobacco manufacturers and distillers delivered after July 1. 1901, require no stamps.

LONDON, July 3.—During the debate to- day in the House of Commons on naval estimates the Cabinet Ministers were heckled on all sides regarding the condi- tion of the navy. It was asserted that the British Mediterranean fleet was inad- equate to meet the French and Russian squadrons, that it was under-manned and unequipped, especlally with modern guns; that it lacked colliers and that the coal depots were all exposed to an enemy’s fire. 'The members generally predicted that in case of war the Admiralty would break down as completely as the War Of- fice did. P. O. Arnold-Forster, Secretary to the Admiralty, in replying referred ~to the great demand on the Admiralty for ser- vices in South Africa’ and China, and promised to strengthen the Mediterranean fleet when new battleships were available and to add to the fleet cruisers and tor- pedo boat destroyers.
