NEITHER SIDE Is SATISFIED
Inheritance Tax Case Against the Gould
Estate Argued in Court.

New York, March 20.-Surrogate Fitz
motion TO confirm the revised report Of
David Mcclure, the appraiser appoint
ed to assess the inheritance tax under
the acts of 1895 and 1891 upon the es-
tate OF Jay Gould. The report placed
the tax, which is per cent OF the valu-
alton, at about 100000. Each side
found fault with the report. The state
appealed from that part of the report
which exempted from taxation a spe-
cific legecy of $500, 900 in Missouri Pa
cific, Western Union and Manhattan
securities as compensation Of twelve
years Of service, including seven years
of minority, in looking after his faith
er's interests. The state claimed this
was not entitled to exemption as pay
ment of a debt would be, for the rea-
son that it was d device TO evade the
inheritance tax. The state also con-
tended that the executors commissions
and an allowance of $150,000 for expen-
ses Of administration should not have
been deducted from the appraisal.
Ex-Jundge Dillon, for the estate. ar
gued that the appraiser had assessed
some of the securities too high; that
he had taken exchange quotations as
the basis, when the prices of such a
quantity of the stocks as were held by

HE TRIES IT AGAIN
WILLIAM n. A. BROWN WANTS AN
ACCOUNTING.

He Claims That the Vanderbilt Estate has
Been Illegally and Fraudulentiy En-
riched to the Extent of Line of Ocean
Steamships Which the Old Commodore
Grabbed Away Back in the Fifties-He
Asks an Order of Court to Compel the
Vanderbilt Heirs to Show the Accounts
In the Case.
New York, March 2o.-A motion was
made before Justice MacLean in the

Frederick and George Vanderbilt and
other heirs of the late Commodore Van
derbilt, to produce the books and &C
counts showing the earnings Of the
steamers Sea Bird, Daniel Webster, In
dependence and the Pacific since the
year 1853. The matter has been aired
in the courts many times by the attor-
neys for William II. A. Brown, admin
istrator OF the estate Of his father w.
A. Brown, who was the owner of the
steamers. Mr.. Thrown claims that an
agreement was entered into between
bilt March q, 1851, by which Brown was
TO run his vessels from San Francisco
TO San Juan del Sur 10 connect there
with vessels OF the Vanderbilts. Brown
borrowed $4,000 from the latter and
gave a bill of sale for the steamers
which he owned. This was to be re-
paid from the profits OF the vessels
Claim is further made by Mr.. Brown
that the steamers earned S4S0, 900 a year
and that they were transferred to the
Nicaragua Transit company, of which
Commodore Vanderbilt was the chief
owner. The value of the steamers was
placed at $650000.
No accounting, Mr.. Brown claims.

Vanderbilt is about to leave for Europe
the application for the order was made
at this time.
Judge MacLean signed an order gran
