Attorney General Douglas Says the Tax
Is Upon the Whole Estate.
ST. PAUL, June 21.-The question has
co,ne up several times whether the in
heritance tax is a tax on estates or a
tax on requests. Auditor Dunn there
fore asked for a ruling from Attorney
General Douglas, who replied that it is
not either. 1t is a tax on transfers III
chancery. But it is measured by the
value of the whole estate and not by the
bequest.
The law has it that personal property
given to immediate heirs is exempt to
the amount of SIC. 900. or to other heirs
to the amount of $1,000. Now m a

THE COUNTERFEIT CONSPIRACY.
Climax Rcached-irrest OF HN-p's-
tr;ct Attorney and Deputy Coiiector'

PHILADELPHIA, April 2i.-The climax
I'm the gigantic counterfeit conspiracy
which was brought to light here last week
was reached to-day. when former
United States District Attorney Ellery +.
Ineham. of this city, and Deputy Inter-
nal Revenue Collector Samuel l.. DoWhey'
Of Lancaster, Pa. were arrested by uhileu
states Secret Service officers, charged
with aiding the counterfeiters in their
efforts to food the country with bogus
Treasury notes and internal revenue to-
bacco stamps. The arrest Of lngnam
created a great sensation on account oil
his former connection with the govern
ment as the District Attorney for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The ex-District Attorney was taken be-
fore Commissioner Edmunds and formally
charged with conspiring with Harvey *.
hewitt. his law-partner, "to PROMISE
offer. and give the sum Of $780, in month
~ payments of $500 each. TO William j.
NlcManus. of Philadelphia, a Secret-Ser-
vice officer. who was working up the case
against the five men charged with coun-
terfeiting revenue stamps and the 800
silver certificate.
HEARING THURSDAY.
Ingham waived a hearing, and was held
in $1,000 bail for a further bearing on
Thursday morning. Newitts hearing
which had been fixed for tomorrow. was
changed so that both men can be arraign-
ed together.
Joseph X. Grundy. of Bristol, Pa,
Newitt's bondsman. went Ingham's bail.
Immediately after Ingham had given bail
he made the following statement: Il am
absolutely innocent Of the charge pre-
ferred against me. l have never done
ANYTHING unbecoming an honest lawyer
and a gentleman. l ask that the public
generally suspend judgment until L have
had an opportunity to be heard
Judging from a remark dropped by Com

pairing Ingham's bail-bond, it is not be-
lieved that any more arrests will be made

Washington Democrats on May COM
fercnce-TeIephOne Case To-Day.

WASHINGTON, April A,-(Special)-
At the meeting of the Virginia Demo-
cratic Association, Saturday night, a pro-
position was made to send DR.. r. y.
Harper. the president of the association
to the May convention in Richmond, as
delegate.
Mr.. l.. c. Washington, the veteran news
paper correspondent, bitterly opposed
the motion, and the proposed convention.
He also took occasion to pay his respects
to General Fitzhugh Lee, because of his
alleged learnings TO the gold wing of the
party. Mr.. Washington thought the con-
vention a useless thing. tending to with
draw attention from more important
topics and fomenting discord in the party
ranks.
Mr.. Roger Glascock defended General
Lee and the proposed convention.
RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN.
Dr. Harper then announced that it was
n rule OF the associations, always ad-
hered to. not TO take sides in questions
on which the party in the State IS dl-
yided, and for that reason lie suggested
to the mover of the resolution that II be
withdrawn, which was done.
DR.. Harper said he was in favor or the
primary plan of selecting senators, ana
he would attend the May convention him
self Nearly all the other members OF
the association favor primaries. and DR..
Harper desires II TO be generally known
that the withdrawal of the resolution was
in no way Indicative OF opposition 10 the
convention, but merely TO carry out one
Of the rules Of the association.

MAzET SESSION UNINTEREsTING.
Croker Given Permission tn Go to
Europe.

NEW YORK, April 24.-To-day's session
of the Mazet investigating Committee
proved far less interesting than any pre-
vious sitting. The day was entirely de-
voted to probing the various benevolent
and other societies which are supported
solely by members OF the police force.
John Proctor Clarke. who conducted the
greater part of the examination. inti-
mated by his questions that while the
single-headed police bill was pending at
Albany, leves were made on all ranks
OF the force for funds to oppose It, but
his witnesses failed 10 give any coniirma-
tion to the implied allegation OF legisla-
tive corruption.
Mr. Croker was not called az a witness.
and on his promise to return to this coun-
try was excused from further attendance
upon the Mazet Committee until August
9Th Mr.. Croker will sail for England on
Wednesday.
All the Witnesses called to-day were
policemen OF various grades.
AT the conclusion of the single session.
which was long and uninteresting. Chair
man Mazet announced that the commit
tee would not meet again until May 9Th.
by which time, IL is said, the investigating
body will have presented a preliminary
report to the Legislature.
