4 DEEDED REVENUE STAMPS ARE NOT YET BERE TO-DAY Confusion Is Expected to Last but * Short While—Stickers Are to Be of Forty-two Varieties, Including SSOO and SI,OOO Denominations No additional supphes of internal revenue stamps have been received in this city to-day. At many places of business, however, there are enough of ♦he stickers on hand to last for several days, and at other places where stamps cannot be secured in the proper de nominations or in large enough quan tities, records are being kept of all sales of goods or transfer of commer cial papers subject to taxation, and settlement will be made when enough of the stamps arrive at the internal revenue office. The confusion caused by the scarcity of the stamps promises to continue but a few days, after which everything will be working smoothly. As soon as supplies of the labels arrive here, and they are expected at any time now, all common denominations of both the documentary and proprietary sets will be on sal© at the internal revenue of -oce in the Federal building. Other Agencies of Distribution There will be other agencies of dis tribution too, which will facilitate the purchasing of the stamps in any quan tities. Wholesale dealers in the various articles taxed will most likely handle the stamps for the convenience of their patrons, as will banks' and places of business in general. The revenue stamps, as they are placed on articles of merchandise or on commercial papers, must be canceled by the users, preferably with initials and dates of affixing. Cancellation can also be effected by placing the labels over boxes or cans so that in the open ing of same the labels are torn. Forty-two Varieties of Stamps There are in all forty-two varieties of the new revenue stamps, including all denominations of both proprietary and documentary sets. The proprie taries, from an eighth of a cent to twenty cents are all black, with a monotonous design showing figures of value. The documentaries from half a cent to eighty cents are red, also with figures of value prominent; from one dollar to fifty dollars, colors correspond with the cent values of regular pos tage stamps, depicting a libertv head, and the SIOO, SSOO and sl,o*oo val ues, of which none have as yet been received here, are said to be handsome examples of the engraver's art, pic turing respectively Washington, Ham ilton and Madison. FEARS ALLAYED IN WAR REVENUE TAX By Associated Press. Washington, Dec. 2.—lnternal reve nue collectors throughout the country had notice to-day from the Internal (Revenue Bureau here that the govern ment does not intend to prosecute anv one subject to the war revenue law who shows a willingness and readiness to buy the new tax stamps. The notice was sent to allay fears on the part of thousands of persons all over the coun try who yesterday besieged the internal revenue offices in attempts to obtain revenue stamps to comply with the law and who because of their inability to do so became frightened over what might happen in the event they were not on the minute with their sta'mping. There was no need for such fears and this was made clear in a telegram which Commissioner Osborne, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, sent to all collectors. The telegram was in response to frantic calls from collectors, who told of crowds rushing to their offices demanding stamps, and it was hoped "by officials to-day that the notice would relieve a situation which gave indications of causing embarrassment to thousands of persons and which also might have re sulted in considerable confusion to rail roads and shippers. The telegram is as follows: "Date all special tax returns Novem ber 30 until you are able to handle applications promptly, unless you have information that no effort was made to file same prior to that date. If un able to supply demands for document ary stamps for bills of lading, permit shipments to go forward, have record kept and affix or cancel stamps when received. Notify railroads." Officials of the Internal Revenue Bu reau here explain that, while every thing possible had been done to get ready to enforce the law, they have been hampered in their work because of the failure of Congress to appropriate additional money for that purpose. While the stamps have been shipped away as fast as they could be turned out by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, failure of some collectors to heed suggestions from Washington that all applicants be given supplies suffici ent to last a few days and not be per mitted tp have large quantities had .complicated the situation.

Morgan employ Edward Lauterbaeh, a lawyer, and friend of Lamar's. •Mr. Ledyard told of visits made to his office by Lauterbaeh. He said that he (Ijedyanl) had called up Represen tative Paltrier and made sure for the first time that the person who had been talking to him over the telephone for days was an impostor.

"THE DUMMY" DELIGHTFUL Detective Comedy Is Well Acted by the Original Company Headed by Youthful Ernest Truex A delightful play delightfully act ed describes "The Dummy," which ap peared with the original company at the Majestic Theatre last night. It is a detective story, with comedy in al most every line to relieve the melo dramatic pressure, and it "fa one of those successful modern plays that do not depend upon the work of one "star" to make them go. Every member of the cast is a skill ful performer and if any part can be described as the "leading role" it is that taken by the youthful Ernest Truex, as "Barney Cook," the mes senger bov, who becomes a detective. Truex made his first successful appear ance behind the footlights in a similar role in "Wildfiro" a few years ago, but his acting is even better in "The Dummy.'' "Barney," the boy detective, is not actually a "dummy" at all. He pre tends to be in order to help a private detective agency trap a gang of black mailers who had kicinappd the little daughter of wealthy parents. Tho "dummy" contrives to have himself kidnaped bv the crowd, pretend iug to be the deaf and dumb son of a rich Chicago family. In that way he gains entrance to the haunts of tho kidnapers w'ho talk freely in his pres ence with the result that he ultimately causes their capture and tho restoration of the kidnaped girl. The funniest part of the play comes when the boy who has been pretending to be deaf and dumb falls asleep in the Catskills bungalow of the crooks and begins talking in his sleep to the as tonishment of his captors. Miss Jane Oaker, as "Rose Hart," wife o/ a gambler and member of the kidnaping gang, is a very clever actress whose humor ad>ds much to the charm of the piece. The acting of Edward Ellis, as "Spider Hart," the gambler, and Nicholas Judels, as a French wait er, stands out above that of the rest of the members of the excel lent company.
