MARCUS DALY's CITIZENSHIP.
Question Involved in the Collection
of Inheritance Tax.


NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-whether Marcus
Daily was citizen of New York or Mon
tana is a question which may have to be
decided by the courts in order to deter
mine the amount of inheritance tax to be
collected. II it is found that the dead
millionaire was a resident Of the West
ern State his estate can be taxed for only
those holdings of a personal kind in New
York. If it is established, that he was a
citizen of this State the State Comptroller
will instruct the appraiser to collect
death tax on his entire personal fortune.
The heirs of the late copper king contend
that his residence in New York was OF
only temporary nature; that he voted in
Montana and always claimed that state as
his place of abode. Those who look after
the collection of the inheritance taxes for
the State will insist that this State was
the real home of the millionaire.
1t was learned yesterday that the will
of Marcus Daily, delay in the filing OF
which has caused great speculation. will
not be probated in New York In accord
ance with their contention that the mil
lionaire was citizen of Montana. his at
torneys will offer his will for probate in
Anaconda, Silver Bow County, Mon.
William Scallon. the legal adviser OF
.hdl lazy, itlt loi puttS, "h~iS
he will confer with W. w. Dixon, law
yer of that city, who will present the will
for probate.
The amount of the fortune left by Mar
Gus DAILY is variously estimated from
$50. 600, 900 to s35, 100000. 1t will be
difficult to determine Just how much the
copper king was worth. for. in addition
to his huge mines at Butte and Anaconda.
now being worked, he owned more than
sixty mines not developed, all of which
promise the ineXhaustible yield of those
now operated. The holdings of Mr.. DAILY
in New York were large. In addition to
his Fifth Avenue home he had interest in
several large race courses.
Not until the contents Of the will are
made known will 1t be definitely revealed
who will be the benefciaries OF Marcus
Daily. Most of the estate, it is said. has
been left without any restriction to his
wife, who can provide for her daughters as
she wishes. 1t was proverbial that Marcus
Daily didn't care for fortune hunters to ap
pear about his home. 1t would surprise
none of the friends of the millionaire II
clause appeared in hi will instructing his
widow to disinherit any daughter who
should wed a foreign nobleman.
Mr.. Scollon who for years was close
personal friend Of Mr.. DAILY, will advise
his widow in all affairs concerning the dis
position of the estate. The mooted ques-
ton of the citizenship of the copper king
promises to be the most perplexing feature
for the heirs to fight out

TO PROBE THE BOOB CASE.
Father of the Dead Cadet Prepares
Statement of Charges.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec civilian Booz.
father of Oscar L. Booz, the former West
Point cadet who died at his home in Bris-
tol Pa, has prepared statement en-
bracing much information in regard to
the treatment of his son that has not yet
been published. This paper will be placed
in the hands of Representative Wanger OF
the Seventh Pennsylvania district, who
appointed BooZ, as soon as he returns
from Europe. and he will be asked to
bring the case to the attention Of Con-
gress and the War Department and to in
sist upon thorough investigation.
Mr.. Booz does not want to condemn the
Academy, but he is convinced that his son
died as the result of the treatment he re-
ceived, and for the benefit of others who
may be treated likewise he desires an in
yestigation that may determine whether
cadets are in the habit Of being brutal in
their attempts to discipline those who
displease them and so place the War De-
partment in such position that they may
be able to put stop to the practice
Mr.. Booz declined to make public the
statement. but it was learned that 1T Is
simply a formal declaration of what has
already been published, with extracts from
letters and bits of repetitions of converse
tions that took place between the dead
cadet and members of his family and
friends.

his disappearance, and which was also
said to be similar to ring alleged to
have been exhibited by Jim" Pierce
to Way, the Marcus Hook man, on a
trolley car in December last. Chief
Berry said he was satisfied that II any
one had Eyre's watch or ring he would
not attempt to pledge either article in
this vicinity. There is only one pawn
broker in Chester, he said, but there
are other dealers who buy such arti-
cles outright. 1t might be possible that
the present holder of the valuables
would retain them until the inquiry
had subsided before he would consider
It safe to attempt to dispose Of them.
He did not believe the ring was worth
$3.50, as some reports had stated.
Chief Berry said he had not had any
conferences with pawnbrokers from
other cities in reference to the watch.
He also took occasion to deny that
there had been forwarded to him a
portion o&a cunning skin, which was
said to have been found near Cad
walader Island, off Raccoon creek. He
said the only thing in the way Of frag-
ments of a craft that he had in his
possession was the bottom of one
which had been picked up from among
the ice foes at time when the search
for Eyre was in progress. This relic

STEAMER SUTTON A TOTAL LOSS
CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE ILL
FATED VESSEL GIVE TESTI-
MONY.

FATED VESSEL GIVE TEsTI-
MONY.
The British Naval Court OF Inquiry
Yesterday began an investigation into
the loss OF the steamer Sutton, which
went ashore on Fenwick Island shoals
last Saturday evening, while bound up
the Delaware river to Philadelphia.
The object OF the inquiry is to see
whether or not Captain c. A. Johnson
and his officers are to blame for the
disaster.
The witnesses yesterday were Cap
tain johnson and the chief engineer,
and it is expected that all the testi-
mony will have been taken by today.
Captain johnson stated that towards
O'Clock Saturday morning he heard a
whistling buoy, which he took to be To-
Gated at the Overfalls, but he had
since learned that the one there had
been removed last year. He then went
slowly ahead, so as to find way into
eight or ten fathoms to anchor his ves-
sci so as to ratify his position. At 6.15
o'clock the lead was cast, and the re-
port made to him by the second Off
Ger was that the vessel was in seyen-
teen fathoms, but he claimed this Off
Ger afterward admitted that he should
have reported seven fathOms. At this
time the engines were not going, and
Immediately upon finding when the
lead was again cast that there were
only five fathoms of water under the
vessel, he had the engines put at full
speed astern, but in three minutes the
steamer struck bottom. When the tide
rose slightly at noon she fioated, but
several holes had been made in the
lhull by her pounding on the shoals and
she began leaking heavily. Fearing
that She would get into a worse posi-
ton he had both anchors dropped, and
gradually she sank by the head until
she rested on the bottom.
Up to midnight, when the vessel was
abandoned, the captain says is was
slightly foggy, and after that hour Sc
thick that it was impossible to see any
lobject. Captain Johnson admitted that
his charts of the Atlantic coast and the
lentrance to the Delaware bay were
dated 1896 and had not been corrected
since that time, which, he said, wal
due to his not knowing when he left
England for the Black Sea that he
would ultimately have to come to this
country. The court is composed Of
lConsul Powell, president; Captains
William Richardson, OF the steamer
Highfeld, and Forbes, OF the shiI
Dunstaffnage, with E. S. Moffatt as
clerk. :
