CASE OF LINAS SKINNER
war Department Has Heard Nothing
OF Alleged Sentence of Death
Passed on Connecticut hoy.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.--Inquiry at the
war department discloses the fact that n
record Is on file there In the case OF Linas
Skinner, Connecticut volunteer, who is
reported In the news dispatches to have
been sentenced to death in the Philippines
Tor sleeping on post This record shows
that the charge upon which Skinner was
tried was drunkenness on duty and leav-
Ing his post. He was convicted by cour,-
martial and sentenced to Imprisonment for
six months. The reviewing authorities re-
duced this period to four months and II -
assumed here that Skinner is now serving
this sentence. So, unless he has COMMITTEES
another offense. report Of which has no:
yet reached the department (Which is
scarcely probable In view OF the fact tha,
he should be now serving a period of i'm
prisonment), II Is not possible that nc
should have been sentenced to death on
the charge alleged. In fact the records O.
the department show that up to date no
American soldier has. during the recent
campaign or indeed through the Spanish
war, been sentenced to death for sleeping
on post.

Mr.. Underwood of Alabama moved to re-
duce the amount of property exempt under
the inheritance tax from $40, 900 to s., ,000
Mr. Payne OF New York. in charge OF the
bill, said that personally he thought the in
heritance tax should not have gone In the

cation OF the amendment he presented ye>-
terday to tax industrial corporations who's,
gross receipts exceeded 100000 one tweh-
tieth Of 1 per cent upon such receipts. His

Mr.. Fitzgerald OF Massac chusetts moved
to strike out the tax Of 10 cents a pound ON
tea
Mr.. Payne opposed the amendment The
tax on tea, he said raised about $4,000. 90,
