An Early Frost in New Jersey.


The first frost Of the season in New Jersey
was seen early Yesterday morning 10 Paramus
Valley. Although it was not severe enough
TO hurt either flowers or fruit it was sufficient
To make good the tradition that the first frost
will come six weeks after the first note of the
Katy Did is heard. The Katy Did was first
heard this year during the first week in July,
to the astonishment Of many a rural resident,
and wagers were offered that frost would not
come within the traditional time.

Judge Shiras Says the Iowa Law Tax
ing Foreign Insurance Companies
is Constitutional

Dubuque, Ia, Jan. 12.-Judge Shiras,
in the United States district court to-
day. rendered an opinion sustaining the
constitutionality of the Iowa law tax
ing foreign insurance companies. The
plaintiffs sought an injunction restrain
ing a collection of a Az per cent tax
levied under the new state laws. They
attacked the law on the ground that it
was unconstitutional, with specified ref
erence to the section of the federal con-
stitution prohibiting the enactment of
legislation that would abrogate treaty
rights of other countries.
The plaintiffs, who are citizens of
England. claimed the treaty with the
United States provided that no special
tax or restriction be levied against Eng

income tax case were also brought up.
Judge Shiras decides in favor of the
state of Iowa; holds that the point
made by the plaintiffs regarding the
treaty is weak, and declares the state
could go farther and pass a law shut
ting them out entirely.

When he got the hay all cut he
