THEY MUST PAY OR Co TO JAIL.
Uneasiness Over the Action Of
the Collector of Taxes.
Thought to BE a New Scheme of the
Arrears Department.

Much uneasiness was occasioned to-
day among those who are in arrears for
personal taxes by the announcement
that Judge Beach had Issued an order
committing Lucy w. Whiting, Hugh
Charles Meyer and George II. Watson
TO jail for falling to pay taxes on their
personal property.
None of the orders had been executed
up to moor to-day. Hugh Kelly, who.
with Charles II. Pine and Franklin Far
rel. does n sugar importing business at
Il Wall street. wRs quite Indignant at
the step taken by the Collector of Ar
rears of Taxes. He said he had no fear
Of arrest, but declined to talk about the
matter. He referred the reporter to
Lawyer II. Charles Ulman, Of 237 Broad
way who. he said, had his and his two
business associates cases in charge.
Mr.. Ciman was, greatly surprised to
learn Of the order issued by Judge
on him OF any such proceeding. There
was nothing for It now but to pay the
taxes. he said, and walt until certiorari
proceedings could he heard. when he
felt confident the money would be re-
turned to his clients on the showing in
court.
Kelly, Pm Farrel, ne SAID, were
residents OF Connecticut, and their per-
sonal property was In Cuba, where their
sugar interests lay.
THE case has been on record in GER
tiorari proceedings for two years said
Mr.. tlman. but the Corporation Coun-
sci by some manipulation kept 1t from
trial In order, as ] suppose, TO make a
test case OF 1t. 1t is a new scheme Of the
tax arrears department to try to collect
doubtful taxes The only case which
they ave for precedent is that Of Hoyt.
The personal property in this case was
all in Louisiana. and was decided in the
defendants favor because the Court held
that the situs of the property must be in
the State where the tax is levied.
His clients cases were. Mr.. Clman
said. Of precisely the same nature.
\ member II the firm of Kelly, Pine
& Farrel hurried into MIR. tlman's office
while THE Evening World" reporter was
there, evidently much alarmed at the
possibility Of undergoing a period of
personal restraint In Ludlow Street jail.
lie was. however. assured by the lawyer
that things hadn't got to such a pass as
that. hut that the money would have to
be paid at once 10 s~traighten matters out.
IN" cases Of Mrs, Whitney, George l.
Watson anil Charles Meyer are on the
same footing with those OF Kelly, Pine

Mr.. Stevens very closely, upon the point
where he has been charged by Commits

and CAV the Committee no opportunity
to show by his testimony that the

Mr.. Stevens was emphatic in his dec

INCOME TAX VICTORY
Democratic Ways and Means Men
Vote to Report It Monday.
Agricultural Tariff Amendment Lost
in the House.
Coal and Iron Schedules to Have
Three Hours Each, Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-There were
come dramatic incidents and significant
results at a special meeting of the Demo-
cratic members of the Ways and Means
Committee. held last night at the Office
of the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue.
The crucial test of the income tax was
made. and the friends of the Measure car
ried a motion to report the measure to
the full Committee and to the House
next Monday. The affirmative vote num-
bered six, a bare majority.
This was given after Messrs. Breckin-
ridge and Stevens had withdrawn from
the meeting for the purpose. as the
friends of the measure believe, and
stated. of breaking a quorum on the
Committee. The meeting last night had
been a~nxiously anticipated by the income
tax men on the Committee.
The Internal Revenue bill was COM
plete in all it's details and phraseology.
and yet for the last week 1t had been
impossible to get the measure out OF the
Committee and before the House be-
cause of the inability to keep together
a quorum of the Committee.
This appeared to be more accident than
design. yet II was far from satisfactory

Mr.. Stevens did not like the sugges-

immediate report of the bill was pushed.
Instead of retiring, Mr.. Bynum made a
speech, saying that he thought the
House should be put in possession OF the
bill. This turned the scale, and gave
the income tax men a bare majority
without the vote of Mr.. Wilson.
