CLAIM LAW Is INVALID,
Heirs of Chicago Millionaire Attack
Illinois Inheritance Tax.

CHICAGO. May 23.-Th4 constitutionaIitv
Of the Inheritance tax law has been attack
ed In the county court by the heirs of Al
bert NJ Billings, who died two years ago.
leaving an estate valued at S7.5N0OIr to
he divided among mis- widow. Augusta: his
son. c. K G. Billings, and his grandson.
Albert Billings Ruddock. The authorities
taxed the estate under the law about
$7O.OOO
Attorneys say that the decision Of the
higher courts after the rendering of the
opinion Of Judge Carter will be awaited
with interest as the validity of the act
has not been previously attacked on the
grounds advanced.
Counsel for the heirs argue that the fact
that ths Inheritance tax establishes Il tax
where the VIII provides that the remainder
of the estate. after the death of the henc-
ficiary, goes TO a Hneal descendant. while
no tax * provided for where no provision
0f the disposal Of the collateral remainder
IS made to take place after the death Of
the heir, mak=S the whole law void as in
conflict with that part Of the constitution
of the state which provides that all prfvi-
IegeS IN the same class shall be equally
taxed.
The Will of Mr.. Billings pdovided that
AFTER the death of his grandson the part If
the estate he had left them should descend
to their hnedl heirs. Under the law the
estate 50 disposed Of Is taxable, whereas,
if il had been left To the heirs without re-
striction as 70 its disposal after their death
and by them left to some Institution or to
persons out Of the HneaI line Of descent it
could not be taxed.
Judge Garter. after having listened 10
arguments took the case und-r advise
menr a decision will be rendered in Il few
weeks, and the case Will be appealed TO the

cot RI OF HONOR,
Central Point of the Peace Jubilee
Interest.


The central point of interest in the jubilee
city is the court of honor which includes
that portion of Pennsylvania avenue from
18th to 18th streets leading in front of the
White House, the Treasury and the State
War and Navy Department buildings The
court. with its whited pillars and two grand
arches fag-draped and festooned. was
finally completed this morning aud now
the view presented is one of rare color and
beauty.
Two grand arches formed of gigantic
American flags suspended from handsomely
wrought and decorated standards on either
side of the broad thorOughfare, have been
placed at the intersections of Madison place
and Executive avenue. thanking the Dor
derS of the Executive Mansion grounds.
They are the principal features of this
scheme of jubilee decorations. and are
heroic in size and grandeur The effect of
the flag arches Is one of splendid beauty
and the idea was happily conceived. Small
er flags arranged gracefully along the outer
edges of the folds of the spreading arch
flags add to the elaborateness of the plan,
while hanging baskets of tropical flowers
are suspended at intervals. The outlines of
the arch are strewn with electric lights,
while incandescent globes of varied hues
are imbedded among the plants.
The standards for the arches are of gal
YaniZed iron. and consist of four carved
columns rising from massive foundation.
Suspended between the two central columns
of each standard is a painting in oil repre-
Septing peace. according to the ideas of
different artists. These pastels also
studded with electric lights while the pill
lars and pedeStalS will fairly glow when the
lights shall have been turned on with the
coming of night. Devices in gilt work re-
lieve the dazzling whtteueSs. The word
Peace" is lettered in the main panel, while
spreading from the central peak of the
standards is an American eagle, the feath
ers tipped in gold. All of the devices will
be brilliantly Illuminated by night.
the confines of the court of honor, are ar
ranged columns representing the forty-hVe
states of the Union. The original thirteen
states are represented by columns of grand
proportions than the others and have
been placed between the two arches.
state shield and numerous flags decorating
each rising pillar. An American shield and
a pennant bearing the name OF the COM
mOnWealth mark the columns of the young
er states, floral wreaths Gaping the tall
spires.
Directly in front of the White House. and
extending across the south sidewalk of the
avenue at that point has been erected the
Presidents reviewing stand, one of the
most ambitious pieces of work of its kind
ever seen in the city. 1t is one mass OF
flags and bunting and patriotic devices. In
this stand the special guests of the city
during the jubilee will also be seated.
