sonaI Assessments.

Helen NJ, Edwin and Howard Gould,
IS executors OF the estate of Jay Gould
They want to set aside the personal
tax assessed against the estate, and also
the tax assessed against them as indi-
viduals.
In the argument to-day Lawyer Wins
low S Pierce, who appeared for the
Gouids. commended that the taxes should
be set aside b. the Court. because the
Tax Commissioners had failed TO make
a return on the writs OF certiorar, and
that they were therefore in default.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ward.
who appeared for the Tax Commission
ers. opposed the motion. first on the
ground that the court had no turisdic-
ton to set aside the taxes, and second
that because the Commissioners failed
to make return to the wrlts was no
reason for setting aside the taxes.
The proper course at law, Mr.. Ward
said. was to bring contempt proceedings
against the Tax Commissioners in the
regular way.
Decision was reserved

The Executive Committee OF the strik-

with committee OF the Contractors
Association for the purpose OF getting at
a settlement.
1t was said by one of the Executive
Committeeman that the large manufac-
turers and wholesalers had offered the
contractors plenty OF work at prices paid
before the strike, but the latter had de-
clined to accept It, because they could not
prevail upon the strikers to do the work
at the old scale, which is from 40 to 90
per cent. below that demanded by union
workers.
1t was also said that the demand for
shirts Is unusually good. and the whole
snlers are unable to supply 1t because OF
the strike.

ContractorS come to terms Our new

A CLARET COAT.
Wales Startes a New Fashion, for
London Danases.

Wales Startes a New Fashion, for
London Dandses.
New York Sun.
The news that the Prince OF
Wales appeared recently in even
ing dress in a coat which was the
color of claret has had! q remark
able effect upon the large c0ntin-
gent of men to whom the vagaries
of fashion are absorbingOf moment.
The theory that the Prince of
| Wales is the leader OF fashion in
England prevails only in America.
He is short, pudgy little man,
with nothing approaching a Egure,
and he is exceedingly conservative
in his attire at all times. None
of the oddities of fashion which
occasionally gain a momentary
sway over the London swells is
swallowed by the Prince of Wales.
II he has any influence, at all it is
of a conservative and restrictive
nature.
The men who lead, the fashion
are very we'll known to the London
tailors, who bid eagerly for the
privilege Of dressing them There
are dozen or more, of these dam
dies in the Guards club, and they
are mostly military Offlcersof rank,
though not, as rule, men Of title.
Each one has a certain following
in the other clubs. and the band of
we'll dressed men who may be seen
any day going along Pail Mall
from one club to another so close
ly resemble their leader that any
one of them could pose as a model
for the tailor. A London authority
in these matters complied a list
once in the Referee, which is dis
tinctively sporting paper, read
by "noblemen and gentlemen" on
Sunday mornings, Of the men
whose influence practically guild
ed the London world of fashion.
There are upward of 80 names on
the list. These mon, who dress
alike, have undoubtedly given the
keynote to the tailor. About the

light hats achieved great promi-
hence among sporting personages
the entire racing contingent of
swells from London clubs turned
up on the first day of Ascot, dressed
in black frock coats, black hats
and dark trousers. Their attire
was precisely similar to that of the
regulation dress of the loungers In
Hyde Park in the afternoon. All
the outsiders wore racing clothes
Of the latest pattern. This one dis.
play of sober attire by the actual
leaders, however, killed the fashion
of light racing clothes of the latest
pattern. This one display of sober
attire by the actual leaders, how
ever, killed the fashion of light
racing clothes for all time. 1t is
said that the Prince Of Wales wore
a snuff cOlOred frOck suit that day,
the swells having failed to notify
him OF their sudden change Of
