RICHES FROM THE DEAD.
MICHAEL WoRMSER ESTATE TO
 BE DIVIDED.
Special plspatch to The calL.

TACOMA, May 23.-Five members of the Jacob family in San Francisco and Tacoma have been notified that they and three other heirs living in the East will have divided among them an es- tate valued at s500,0O0, left by Michael Wormser at Phoenix, Ariz. The Pa cific Coast heirs are Michael Jacob, travelling agent for Carroll & Carroll, wholesale liquor dealers, and Sarah Jacob both of San Francisco; Joseph and Meyer Jacob and Miss FloreStine Jacob of Tacoma. Charles Goldman of Phoenix has been the administrator of the Wormser estate. and Joseph Jacob will leave this week for Phoenix to as sist him in managing 1t.
 WormSer died inteState, and under the laws of Arizona the proceeds of his estate will be shared equally by the eight heirs. Wormser had never mar ried and was 69 years old when he died three weeks ago. He had remarkable success, becoming one of the richest men of Arizona through the cultivation of an immense irrigated farm.
 Going to Phoenix in 1875 he gradually increased his holdings until he owned 5000 acres lying south of Salt River. He tapped this river with an irrigation canal twelve miles long, known locally as San Francisco ditch, which watered his ranch. He raised wheat, sugarcane and fruit, but laid the basis of his for tune by selling wheat at cents a pound in early days. before Arizona was traversed by railroads. He em- ployed between BOG and 400 men. Re- gently his ranch was bonded to Eastern men for $360 900. If the purchase is con sumated this sum will be distributed among the heirs at once. He owned a large interest in the Tempe canal, ne or the largest irrigation projects in Ari- zona, and several years ago brought about it's enlargement from thirteen to fifteen feet in width. He owned prop erty at Phoenix and Prescott.
 Meyer and Joseph Jacob, now en- gagged in the shoe business here, for merely resided in San Francisco.

WILL CONTROL
 THE REVENUES Scheme of Tariffs for
 the Philippines. TO COLLECT CUSTOM DUTIES. PRESIDENT HAS AUTHORITY TO
 so DECREE.
TO COLLECT CUSTOM DUTIES.
Precedents in the Mexican War Which Give Naval and Mill tary Authorities Power
 to Act
Call Office, Riggs House,


 In anticipation of the early occupa- ton of the Philippine Islands by the military and naval forces of the United States, the Treasury Department has already begun the formulation of regu- latlons and scheme of customs tariffs which will be collected by the military authorities and turned into the treas ury of the United States as military contribution" That the President has authority to collect the Philippine rev enues under existing circum stances is not matter of doubt It was several times done during the last war with Mexico, and the authority of the Gov ernment in the premises was sustained by decisions of the United States Su- preme Court
 The court, in a case which grew out of the capture and occupation of San Francisco and all the upper part of the State of California by the United States troops, held that the President. under the constitution, as commander 1n-chief of the army and navy, had a right to exercise the belligerent right of a conqueror and to impose duties on imports as a military contribution for the support of the army. This was the view held by the court in another case, where it was also decided the capture of Tampico, Mexico, by the United States forces, though sufficient to cause it to be regarded by other na- tions as part of our territory, did not make it in fact part of the United States under our constitution and laws.
 Tt remained" said the court, "a for eign country within the revenue laws of the United States"
 The tariff rates now being prepared by the Treasury Department will close ly follow the Spanish customs laws in force in the Philippines. Just what revenues they produce is not known, but the assumption is that inasmuch as the home Government realized from them last year approximately nine mil lion dollars, the actual amount collected was $lS,0O0,0O0. The Government will assume control of the revenues as soon as the principal seaports are in our possession, and will continue to control them, at least until Congress takes spe- cific action in the case or until peace has been declared by the two coun- I <rfo
