Office of Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.


Washington, D. c., Aug. z, 1901.
Sir: This office is in receipt of your
letter of the 31st ultimo, inclosing a
notice filed by e. j. Northrup, attor-
ney, for the executors of the estate of
Pemelia B. Rogers, with copy of will
attached.
You ask when, with reference to
date of death of decedent, is legacy
tax due and payable.
The law provides that the tax shall
be due and payable in one year after
the death of the testator," and, in any
event, before payment and distribu-
ton to the legatees, or any parties en-
ftitled to beneficial interest" in the es,
tate.
Payment of the tax may be made at
any time within one year after the
death or the testator and prior to dis.
tribution of the estate, but its assess
nent and collection should not be en-
forced until the expiration of one year
unless distribution is sought to be
made within that time.
Unless the law as amended by the
act of March 2, 1901, it is compulsory
that
Every executor, administrator, OF
trustee having in charge or trust any
legacy or distributive share shall give
notice thereof, in writing, to the col
lector or deputy collector of the dis
trict where the deceased grantor OF
bargainor last resided, within thirty
days after he shall have taken charge
of such trust.
You will please make special effor
to bring this amendment to the atten
ton of such executors, administers, OF
trustees, and require them to compl.
with its provisions.
Respectfully,
| J. w. Yerkes, Commissioners.

Benefits Ticket ScaIpers.

Party rates are now so manipulated as
to aid the ticket scalpers, and in the end
may cause the roads to do away with party
rates. The Kansas City Journal says:
mo hope is now entertained that the ap-
plication of party rates can be confined
strictly TO regularly organized parties in
any part of the Western territory. Any
group of ten or more persons travelling TO
a common destination can combine for the
sole purpose of securing a reduction In
rates. 1t will not be the first time that
such a condition has existed In Western
territory. For years the plan was in oper-
alton, and ii prove one of the most fruit
full sources of generalization that ever
ficulty the roads were able to get rid of Ii
even temporarily. and now they are con-
fronted with 1t again in a way which seems
impossible for them to prevent. Open
party rates are the most effective instru-
ment which could be placed In the hands
of tiSke scalpers. One of the worst fea-
lures of the case is that il is rates TO the
large trade centers that are most affected
by the generalization thereby created. 1t
is easy to get a party of ten or more per-
sons any day who may want to go to the
large centers. All the brokers have to do
is TO be on the lookout for these. get them
to buy their tickets in a bunch, and forth
with a considerable reduction in rates Is
available. There seems to be only one
way of dealing with the evil effectually.
and that is to abolish party rates entirely.
This is regarded as an impossibility under
existing conditions. There are some roads
that depend on them for a large part OF
their passenger revenues.

A PERPLEXING PROBLEM

The wisest of the managers of the steam

running between Indianapolis and the gas
belt territory. assigning as a reason that
freight traffic is heavy and the trains IN
terfered with the movement of the fast
passenger and freight trains. The most
potent reason was that it increased travel
somewhat, the rate on which such business
was carried did not yield revenue to jus
tify continuance of the short service. The
same points can be made with the Louis
Vile division of the Pennsylvania lines,
the Columbus and Seymour trains not DO
ing enoug business to justify running
them, consequently in the near future one
OF the trains each way will be taken of
and the other run through 10 Louisville,
making one more train daily between In
dianapolis and Louisville in both direc-
lions. The above statement does not ap-
ply only to Indianapolis, but TO many
other cities where the steam roads are
coming into competition with trolley lines,

under false pretenses. yesterday filed af-
fdavits for a change of venue from Judge
Leathers. of the Superior Court. The suits
were filed Oct. Is, 1900. and nothing more
than demurrers have been filed. Noel &
Lahr, attorneys for the plaintiffs. have
several times pressed the suit. but at the
request of Taggart's and Hollis attorneys,
Judge feathers was lenient and granted

been filed. in order that a ruling might
be made on the demurrers. as to whether
or not complaints were good. The cases
were TO have been tried in November If
the ~pleadings were properly filed. and the
attorneys for both sides were satisfied.
The affidavits for change of venue came
as a surprise. Judge feathers told the

A KISSEL CASE RULING
THE JUDGE WHO FINED HIM FOR
CONTEMPT REVERSED.
Supreme Court Thwarts a Scheme to
MuIct a Railroad
The County Courts.

The Appellate Court decided yesterday. in
the case of Charles Fred Kissel against
Zimri Lewis and others. that a special
Judge cannot impose a fine for contempt
of a judgment rendered by MIN unless ne
is again appointed as such special Judge
The case was originally tried in Hamilton

ular judge was replaced temporarily by
Ira w. Christian as special Judge. Chris

directly or indirectly, in his garden north
of Fall creek. in this city. When Lewis
afterward complained that Kissel violated
this injunction Mr.. Christian fined kssell
$500 for contempt of court. In reversing
this judgment yesterday Judge Robinson.
of the Appellate Court, said that Il there
was any contempt il was of the court and
not of a special judge, and that therefore
Christian had no right 10 enter a JIdg-
ment imposing a fine.
In the case of Edward A. Shedd and
others against James A. Webb and another
the Supreme Court thwarted a scheme TO
compel the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern Railroad Company to pay a second
time for a part of its right Of way. In 1853
the company that built the road acquired
a 100-foot strip OF swamp land from the
State and the quarter section of which
this was a part was afterward sold with
out any mention being made of the strip
given the railroad. Shedd, Webb and Ed
ward Roby finally acquired the land. Shedo
and Roby gave Webb a deed TO the striT
of land, taking a mortgage on it for SIS. 60
as unpaid purchase price, and Webb
afterward offered the railroad company a
quit claim deed for the land without men
tioning the mortgage. Shedd and Roby
brought suit to fOreclose the mortgage
making the railroad company a defendant
with Webb. The trial court held tina
there was q conspiracy to defraud. and the
Supreme Court sustained this ruling. Su-
preme Judge Francis f. Baker was the
trial judge, this case being the last he
ruled on before being appointed TO a place
on the Supreme bench, and he did not

Changes on the Southern Pacific.

The announcement that L. II. Hartman
had assumed the presidency of the South
ern Pacific Company, coupled with the APP
pointment of Julius Kruttschnitt as his
assistant, was received in San Francisco
with considerable surprise, for the eleVa-
ton of the fourth vice president to be the
chief administrative officer of the corpora
ton had not been considered. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Kruttschnitt will assume
most of the duties and responsibilities of
the president, as all officers heretofore re-
porting to the president have been ordered
to report to him. f.. II. ~Fitzhugh, who
