AN INTERESTING CASE ARGUED.
Question OF Tax on Willis Intcres.
in Chamber of Commerce.

In the Hastings Court yesterday an
important legal issue touching the taxes
on the Wills interest in the Chamber
OF Commerce building was argued before
Judge Witt and submitted.
The matter came up on "A motion filed
under certain provisions Of the Code
by the ~xecutor of Dr. Francis l.. Willis.
praying that the estate should be re-
lieved of alleged taxation on
the sum Of $4,000. which was reported
by the Examiner Of Accounts, and made
by the Commissioner of Revenue.
The facts in the case are that the
Chamber OF Commerce. owning the pro-
perty upon which the building stands. at
Ninth and Main streets, conveyed the
same. including ground and building. TO
DR.. Willis upon the consideration Of s.
and other agreements. on the same day
June 16. 1892 DIR. Willis conveyed the
property back 10 the Chamber Of Com
merce, or condition that he should be
paid the sum of 1850 per annum. which
amount is 8 per cent. interest on the sum
of $4,000, and at the expiration Of forty
years the Chamber Of Commerce might
pay the whole sum and release the lien.
The question was argued as 10 whether
the interest Of Or. Willis in the property
was personal or real, the State contend
ing that IL was personal, and the execu-
tors Of DR.. Willis averring that IL was
real. The property has been listed by the
State as personally, and the executors
wish to have the assessment RENTED,
on the ground that the amount paid the
estate by the Chamber Of Commerce is
rent, and. as such. realty.

that the act Of Legislature and the City

the city on his property, amounting to
81. 1858. are illegal. Plaintiff brought

bacco Trade Enters Protest.
The committee for the Paris Exposition
from the Richmond Tobacco Trade has
addressed the letter given below to all
the trades of that section of the coun-
try south of Maryland and east OF st.
Louis. The letter explains itself, and is
as follows:
Gentlemen, we received yesterday a
communication from the Executive Com
mittee Of the Paris Commission Of New
York. requesting us to circulate a petit
ton TO the President Of the United States
to have Mr.. Ferdinand Hirsch appointed
as one of the twelve commissioners for
the Paris Exposition. 1t was decided
after due elaboration, that we coulo
not cooperate with the New YORK com
mittee TO recommend the appointment OF
Mr.. Hirsch, as this gentleman is TO the
trade Of hogshead tobaccos practically
unknown. He would simply represent the
cigar and cigar tobacco Industry, WhiIe
we think that If an appointment is MADE
TO represent the tobacco trade from this
country. that only a man should be
chosen who is familiar with the leaf
business and manufacturing Of smokine
tobacco. cigarettes, and plug, the pro-
duction of cigar tobaccos in TINS coun-
try being confined almost exclusively 10
the Northern States, and being insignifi-
cant. compared with the vast amount OF
leaf raised in the Southern States from
Maryland to Missouri.
Under these circumstances, and as pc
titions for Mr.. Hirsch's appointment
have probably also been sent TO the West
we would suggest that these petitions be
not signed, but that you would suggest
one or two names OF people whom you
think are capable of doing justice TO the
leaf-tobacco trade, and cmoking tobacco
cigarette. and plug business of this coun-
try.
We should be very glad If your trade
would take action in this matter, and
communicate with us as soon as possible
so that we may come to some under
standing in regard TO who should be re-
by the Southern and western
states for this appointment.
Yours respectfully,
COMMITTEE PARIS EXPOSITION.
