1t L. Not Direct Tax but an Excise

Washington, May 16.-The supreme
court of the United States announced
opinions in the cases arising under the
inheritance tax provision of the war
revenue act: also in cases involving the
applicability of the state inheritance
tax law of New York to estates COM
posed of government bonds. There
were five decisions under the federal
law and one under the state law, but
two of the former class applied, as did
one of the latter class. to the taxation
of government bonds.
The court held that neither under
the state nor the national enactment
were national bonds exempt from tax
alton. The validity of the general
federal law was affirmed, but it was
held to be purely applicable to legacies
and not to the entire estates of de-
ceased persons, the court holding that
1.-The tax is on the passing of legacies
or distributed shares, with a progress
sive rate on each, separately deter
mined by the sum of each of such leg
acies or distributivc shares
The decision held that the tax was
not direct tax, within the meaning
of the constitution, but duty or an
excise law.

Try to Incite an Outbreak.

Manila, May 16.-The latest rumor
of an outbreak in Manila among the
natives, which was in circulation last
week, was seriously discussed by some
of the local papers, and attracted more
general attention than has usually been
the case with this sort of thing. As
matter of fact, many Filipinos did
leave their American employers with
the apparent intention of joining some
such movement. This action, taken in
connection with the arrest of several
natives for carrying concealed weap
ons and the dispersion of several sus-
picious gatherings: gave color to the
reports.
The officials have been active in the
matter, but not inclined to think an
uprising will be attempted. They be-
ieve the Filipinos lacking the neces-
sary courage, especially in view of the
fact that the natives feared to attempt
the demonstration at the time of Gen
eral Lawton's funeral. although they
had made careful preparations and
many insurgents had come to Manila
for this express purpose.
A paper found among the captured
effects of General Pantaleon Garcia
asserts that the United States congress
has done nothing for the Filipinos, and
that, therefore. all Filipinos who are
working for Americans must leave
their employers Immediately or suffer
the penalty of treason.
One report is that the Filipino junta
is endeavoring to incite an outbreak in
order to show the civil commission that
the instruction is still alive.
Last week General Macarthur re-
ceived large number of officials, con-
suls, officers and representatives OF

ernor general. MacArthur's policy

Capitalization He will give to his

NOME DREDGING
CONCESSIONS

WAsHiNGToN, March 23.-secretary
Root has made a statement In regard 10
the action Of the war department In
granting licenses TO prospectors TO
dredge the water in front Of Cape
Nome. lie admitted that one or two
such licenses had been Issued but 10
whom he did not remember. There
were about a dozen more applications Of
the kind on file, and they will all be
granted.
Uhder the law, no one could have
done any dredging on the water front Of
Cape Nome within three mile limit
without the authority Of the war depart
ment. This authority, the secretary
said, had been granted in several in.
stances because il was shown the pro.
p0eed dredging Of sand would not inter
iere with navigation or the riparian
rights OF owners OF adjacent territory.
The particular character Of the sand to
b. dredged did not enter into the case at
all.
The Secretary further said that any
one was privileged 10 dig for gold in the
open sea, and the only question was
whether such operations conducted
within tho three.mile limit we're an in-
reference with navigation or an in.
fringement Of the rights Of others.
When these conditions were complied
with, the department was prepared TO
grant permission TO any one TO dig In
the beach at Cape Fome or elsewhere at
any point lying within three miles Of
low'water mark
Although lac did not 20 into detail, /
Secretary Root made il clear that the |
privileges In question were free 10 all

had been acted upon.

work the sea near Cape Nome. They do
