Tax on Inheritance.

Washington, Dec. 6-Argument was be
gun yesterday in the United States su-
preme court in the case involving the con-
stitutionality of the provision in the war
revenue act for taxation of inhertances.
The appellants attack the law on the
ground that it provides for a direct tax.
which is not apportioned among the states
according to population, as required by
the constitution, that even If not direct
tax is unconstitutional because it is not
uniform in it's operation, exempting as it
does legacies under $4,000; that If inher-
ftances are taxable at all the power to
impose such a tax rests with the states
exclusively.

ties. The smallpox at Helmville was
in Mr.. Coughlin's family.
The commissioners did not like the
looks Of the bill nor Of some of the
items therein. For instance, charge
of $40 for. a hair mattress destroyed

ROWING IN JAPAN
Alexander Graham Bell to Introduce the
 Method in This Country
From the New Orleans Picayune.

From the New Orleans Picayune.
 Have l brought back any new plan of invention? Well, if you put it pointedly, must say that 1 have one stored away. The Japanese have given me a new idea about rowing boat, which l am going to experi- ment on in Washington and see what can be done with it.
 "Take their method of rowing. It is far superior to anything we have in this coun- try. The best way l can explain it is that it is a kind of sculling, There is one oar at the end of the boat and then several oars may be placed alongside, all of which eX- ercise the same sculling motion. l have brought with me from that Oriental coun- try an exact model of one of their boats, and after reaching Washington will con- struot a boat combining the American and the Japanese principles. The Japanese method of propelling a boat is distinct in it. self. I have never seen the principle ap- piled before. As l say, it is method of sculling, yet it is not our kind of sculling. The ore is horizontally placed, and by a peculiar motion from a pivot the greatest of power is exercised. The blade is always under water. Our method of sitting in a boat with our back toward the place we are going is barbarous. It is inartistic, and it belongs to a prehis toric age. The idea of having to stretch ones neck and look over ones shoulder in order to keep the boat in the right direction is a thing which the Japanese would not tolerate for mo- ment.
 'Then from the standpoint of exercise, the Japanese rowing is far ahead of ours. For college aquatics the Japanese principle would simply be great. If l, or some other American scientist, can get the Japanese principle of locomotion fastened on to an American style of boat, Yale and Harvard will then have something to row with. The exercise would be much better, because the Japanese oarsmen stand up and the entire body is brought into play. Their method is better, first, because it is more powerful, and. second, because it gives more exercise. But understand me that their principle can not be attached to our model of boats, and 1t is on this point that I am going to ex- pertinent. I will probably try catamaran model of boat"

ROLY-POLY POLLY
 OLDEST OF ALL
Right and Tight She Still Is, Good for Many a Year
 At Sea.
From the New York World.


 Bangor, Me.-The oldest vessel now flying the American flag is here in the port of Bangor, as right and tight and ready for business as any other vessel in the fleet. This is the schooner Polly, built at Ames- bury, Mass, in 19j5, and now haiing from Portland. Vessels built here dozen years ago or less are now on the dock for re- pairs, and there are scores of coasters, twenty to thirty years old, that have been new topped or otherwise extensively re- paired since they were launched, but the Polly, roy-poly, stub-toed and high-sided, is as strong as ever, all because, as her master says, they used good white oak in the days when she was built instead of the shaky and sappy stuff that passes as oak nowadays.
 It is not so much her long career as merchantmen that is the chief fame of the Polly. She was once man-of-war, that is, a privateer, in the risky days of 1872 when the United States had more of a naval fight on hand, approximately, than it had last year.
 The men-of-war of those time were not big, and while the, forty-five-ton Polly would be laughed at today as a dlminutive as well an awkward little tub for such business. she was then regarded as quite formidable craft
 Captain Daniel Mcfarland, her present commander, who knows her history pretty well, says that the Polly fought scores of battles in the war of 1872, and that she captured eleven prizes from the British. Once she was herself captured while the captain was lying sick in his bunk, her venturesome crew tackling something too stout for her; but it was not very long be- fore the Yankees captured her back again, and she has been under the American flag ever since
 Many are the stories told of the Polly the forty-five-ton privateer that chased British vessels twice her size and more a terror. Her log is now preserved in Port land custom house, and Captain McFar- land says it's better than anything in the war books.
 Her last fight was with an armed British merchantmen, at point halfway between Mount Desert and the Duck Rocks in which she was victorious and captured a been engaged in the eoasting trade, and she appears to be as sound today as any of the fleet sailing out of Bangor.

INJUNCTION
 AGAINST STRIKERS

WHERE STRIKES ARE NOW ON
Efforts of the Prosecution to Have the United Mine Workers Declared an Illegal Organization Turned
 Down By Judge

Fort Scott, Kan, July 1S.-Judge Williams in the federal court today, after listening to arguments for many hours, granted in- functions against President Wright, of the Workers of America, against the executive board in charge of the Southeast Kansas strike and against every union miner.
 The right of speech and indueement was reserved for the defendant, who fought the injunction hard. One of the coal com panies sought by motion to have the United Mine Workers union declared an illegal organization, but the court refused to do this. The defendants and all other persons who may combine, confederate or conspire with them are severally and collectively enjoined from interfering with, hindering, boycotting, obstructing the business of the coal companies, or from entering on the premises or congregating near their prop erty or from threatening, intimidating, boy cotting or molesting any empoye of the company's. The strikers, by their attor- neys, made an especial plea to have the executive board exempted from the injunc- tion, but the court said they were the ones above all others to be enjoined President Wright and Joseph Boston, of Duquin, H., members of the national committee, stated after the decision that the injunction would in no way affect the strike, that 1t was becoming effective more and more each 6aU
