Although the omciai time allowance given the Resolute by the Vanitie Is known only to the cup committee, it is estimated that the Resolute Is in receipt of approximately 3V4 minutes time allowance, so that the approxi mate corrected time advantage of the winner over the loser was close to 13 minutes 13 seconds. Indiana Loses to Purdue. Bloomington, Ind., June 3. Indiana dropped the last game of the season to their old rivals, the Boilermakers, 10 to 7, yesterday afternoon in 11 in nings.

Coach Nichols' men rallied in the' seventh and brought in four runs. This tied the score and the game was anybody's until the eleventh when Oliphant singled, stole second and scored on a double.

In addition to these contests it is planned to bold a road race from New York to San Francisco. Work of tne Inventors. Manufacturers are almost daily in receipt of communications from inven tors Inclosing patent specifications covering an Invention aimed to lm prove their product. It is a mistake on the part of manufacturers to view such inventors as impostors. The po sition that "an outsider cannot know more about our own business than ourselves" is a fallacy that has no place in modern Industrial management. If it were necessary to prove that such a position is a fallacy thousands of Inventions , could be cited whereby Im provements, many revolutionary, in industrial processes and products were first conceived in the minds of men pot even remotely connected with the Industries most vitally affected and benefited thereby.

Under the new scheme of taxation introduced by Dav id Lloyd George, chancellor of the ex chequer, in his budget for 1914-la, a man having an income from a capital of five million dollars will have to pay one-third of his income in taxes. In the first place he has to pay twen ty-eight cents on every five dollars In income tax; then he has to pay a sim ilar amount In super-tax, and when he dies one dollar on every five of what is left has to be paid for death and es tate duties. The total is figured at just under one-third of the income. This calculation has been made by Sir William Lever, one of the million aires who will have to pay, but who does not object ' "I like it," he said. "In my view the ideal system of taxation, both local and imperial, is through the Income tax, the super-tax, death duties, land tax, site value tax. and taxation upon luxuries, such as alcohol, tobacco, etc. Everything else free." While Mr. Lloyd-George has follow ed his predecessors in his system of taxation, except that he has increased the rate of Income and super-tax and death duties, so that the wealthy have to pay the lion's share, he has gone to other countries for some of his Ideas. His taxation of site values is based on the law now in vogue in British Columbia, while he has gone to the American income tax law for the idea of making money accruing to British subjects from investments abroad pay Its ahare of taxation. In recent years British capitalists have made immense investments in foreign countries. When the income from these investments was brought home to be spent the government un der the old law, levied Income tax on it; that is, when the government could discover it But when the In come was reinvested abroad, the old law did not touch it. Now Lloyd George says all income of British sub jects resident in the United Kingdom must contribute to the imperial reve- ...... -T-l. n .A estimated at over a billion and s half 1 dollars, and front this) the chanoellor hopes to secure 11,250,000 this year, and double that amount next year. Th total Increase of revenue from income tax and death duties this rear will amount to somethln like $44,000,000. In spite of thena increases, Btr George Paish, editor of The Statist says that burden of taxation is muoh smaller than it has bean in modern history. In 1880, when the expendi ture came to (415,000,000, it wan rais ed out of a national income of five bil lion dollars. Now the national income reaches the enormous total of 812,000, 00,000 so it can easily stand the in creased expenditure. Sir George arg ues that England can bear still greater increaaes in her budget "There are good grounds," he says, for believing that the income and wealth of this country will again dou ble in another thirty years. When it roaches twenty-Sve billion dollars, and I have no doubt that it will with in a generation, a budget of two and a half billion dollars will be borne more easily than the burden of a billion dol lars In 1914." The Imperial government has found itself in a rather embarrassing posl tion in connection with the naturalisa tion bill. Under an agreement made naturalization laws in the various parts of the empire were to be so changed that a man naturalized in one of the dominions should be recognized as a British subject either in the Uni ted Kingdom or the other dominions. It was agreed that uniform laws on this point should be passed, but the Canadians, Australians and New Zea landers insisted that a clause should be inserted which would enable them to exclude Asiatics or any undesira bles, even though they had taken out naturalisation papers in some part of the empire, in settlement of this point it 'was' finally agreed that an alien must have, as a consideration of naturalisation, "an adequate knowl edge of the English language." The Canadian and Australian parli aments have passed the bill with this clause, and the measure had also pass ed the house of lords and was awaiting consideration in the house of com mons, when the Jewish organization in London brought up a protest that the clause making "an adequate knowl edge of the English language" neces sary would operate to the prejudice of large bodies' of desirable Jews. Their request that this provision be left out was heeded by the Imperial parlia ment; and the whole question of who should be admitted or refused, was left to the home office authorities. The clause stands, however, in the Canad ian and Australian legislation, so the original agreement for uniform laws appears for the time being, at least, to be defeated. Collectors and bargain hunters from the aristocratic quarters of the west end have found a new spice of adven ture. On a Friday, which Is the day the rag and bone men of the metropo lis display their wares for sale in the old Caledonian cattle market, near Pentonville prison, in one of the dirt iest slums of the city, wealthy collec tors flock there to profit by the won derful bargains offered. It is known that many of the arti cles on sale have been stolen by the rag and bone men, but the fact gives all the more impetus to the trade. The haggling between the ragged mer chants and their wealthy customers is worthy of an Oriental marke.t. Both men and women are playing the new game with the greatest zest. The advice which' the cotton spin ners of England have been giving their American cotton planters to im prove their methods of packing la be ginning to bear fruit. One of the big gest American companies is now send ing its cotton to England in neatly packed bales thus escaping the great wastage that in years past has result (Pln Every Department enables us to attend to your bankng needs promptly and efficiently.

William Demetral, one of the best wrestlers la the game today, common ly known as the "Greek Demon, Is In the city for a visit of three or four weeks with relatives. DemetraJ visited the sporting editor of The Arguj this morning, with his manager, and stated that during his stay he would like to arrange several matches. The demon promises to throw three men in aa hour, or five men in 75 minutes, regard less of their sice, weight or reputa tion. Any wrestlers in the tri-cltles or vicinity who want to meet Demetral are urged to address a communication to the sporting editor of The Argus at an early date. Known Over World.

He also won two handican matches from Gotch, but was defeated by the champion In a finish match. The wrestling fans of the trl-clties would no doubt be pleased to see Dem etral in action, and should a match be arranged It would be a big drawing card.

Sir Charles Ma cara, president of the English Federa tion of English Cotton Spinners, pleas ed at the progreso that the movement for better packing is making, still finds it not so rapid as he would like. "Thousands of pounds," he said, "will be saved every year by good packing, which I trust will ere long be the rule v all over the cotton growing district of America." It Is estimated that 825,000.000 have been 'lost by bad packing, the Ameri can packers being entirely responsi ble. The Indian, Egyptian and colon ial packers all send their cotton In well secured bales, from which there Is no leakage. I " Outrageous Fortune. . Rastus was sorely wounded.
