JAY aoULD's GIFTS TAXABLE.
Duties on a Request to His Son
Properly Assessed.

Albany, N Y, Oct. 5.--Taxation ques-
tions were materially cleared yesterday
by the court of appeals decision that
quired by law on the s., 900 bequest
made by his father.
When Jay Gould died one of his lega-
cies was a 600 gift to his son George.
This the will specifically stated was not
a legacy, but was TO pay a debt due the
son of the financier for years of valuable
service However, suit was brought by
the comptroller to compel a full payment
under the collateral tax law. This the
court of appeals decides must be done
David Mcclure. who was appointed ap-
praiser. placed the valuation of the Gould
estate at S73.e15. .437 The executors ap-
pealed from this decision on the ground
that il was excessive by at least ten mil
lions. Mr.. Mcclure held. and the surro-
gate of New York county agreed, that the
s. COZ, 600 willed to George Gouid was not
taxable. because it was specified and de-
scribed as wages due for twelve years of
work.
The case was argued at length by Da-
vid Il. Hill and Mr.. Dos Passos. for the
comptroller, against Messrs. Dillon and
Prince. for the Goulds. Although the de-
cision of the appellate court is not OBJ
tainable as yet. its substance is known,
and 1t is certain that the highest legal
body in the State has brushed aside the
contention of the Gould heirs.
The court holds that the appraiser was
right in taxing the estate at $73,6l5 ,4S7.
which sweeps away the contention about
SO. 900 coo excess, and sustains the States
appeal from all decisions. declaring the
s., ,000. 600 left to George Gould as ex
empt, on the ground that the bequest
was made to pay wages due for speci-
fed services
Virtually the court of appeals decides
that the bequest of the $5.0e00O0 TO
George Gould 'as wages was an at
tempt to eyade the law. 1t holds that
Mr.. Gould's claim that his father pro-
posed to pay him $59o.0e0 a year for ten
years is ridiculous, and plainly untena-
BILE
The local courts Fixed the tax at $94.7T1,
but the decision of the court of appeals
compels Mr.. Gould to pay sl32, ,70i. For
mer Senator Hills contention in court
was that the fact that the will speciti-
cally gave George Gould S5,00o.000 made
this sum a direct bequest. and that the
idea of wages" was untenab1e. Mr..
Hill declined to discuss the decision last
night further than to say that it was
notable victory for the people

Their wedding was celebrated with con-

bonds he possessed. The couple lived
happily together for about three weeks

Mrs. World excused herself and left tha

search that did not end for thirty days.
Through private detectives it was
learned that the young woman was in
Denver, cutting conspicuous figure in
certain circles. She had taken all her
husbands money except 1.e0O, which he

He has evidently been away on club
business, and judging from his confident
air before he left he must know things :"
Gray said positively he would not re-
veal the great secret until the 5th in
slant While he said that he knew the
location and would not tell where the
contest was TO take place. he has been
very free in peddling out information
as TO where it would not take place
He has gone up and down the list so
many times that the people here are
more in the dark than ever. One thing
the promoters of the fight will likely
have impressed upon their minds is, that
this affair has gone so far and has been
given so much publicity that the sport
ing public won't stand for 'bloomer'
They want the men to fight, and if it
falls through the persons whose fault 1t

not, will fare badly in the estimation of
the sporting public. They viii be put

injuries. All of the passengers were more
or less bruised by the violent rolling of
the vessel
The storm lasted forty-eight hours and
was the worst the Miller has experienced
in her nineteen years on the coast. the
passengers are unanimous in the opinion
that the good seamanship of Capt. Peters
saved the ship. The Miller was but slight

Wooster, O.. Oct. 5.-The. Republican

Senator ]. B. Foraker, who delivered a
speech here to a big crowd He dealt
with the war as being forced upon us,

Sherman in his view that the war was
not necessary. The senator eulogized the
Administration of President Mckinley.
Senator Foraker also said:
THE Cubans have earned their inde-

only that they are free and independent,
but also that they shall have govern
ment of their own choosing. We must
keep our promise and We will.
But this promise of independence to
Cuba does not apply to Porto Rico or the
Philippines. We took these islands by
