TO EVADE TRANSFER TAX.
OF NEW-JERSEY TRUST COM
PANIES HOLDING ESTATES OF
NETWORK DECEDENTS.

State Controller knight has instructed the
State Transfer Tax Commissioners in this city
TO keep sharp watch on the estates of decedent
persons deposited with trust companies in this
city. Various executors and administrators of
estates of non-residents trying to evade the
provisions of the tax laws and they be-
ing assisted by trust companies in Jersey City.
New-Jersey financiers noted that the estates of
nonresident decedents are subject to a tax Of 1
per cent in cases where they exceed $4,000.
Several financial institutions at nearby New
Jersey points issued confidential circulars an
nouncing that the laws of New-Jersey exempted
all such estates from taxation of any kind The
result of this has been that New-York trust
companies have lost the custOdanship of many
thousands of dollars, which Lave been trans
ferred to New-Jersey institutions merely for the
purpose of evading the tax. The trainers of the
new law tried to make it difficult for estates of
non-residents to escape this L per cent tax. The
section of the law bearing this particular
point says:
N No safe deposit company, bank or other institu-
OF decedent, shall deliver transfer the same
to the executors administrators legal represen-
tatives of said decedent, upon their order or
request unless notice OF the time and place Of
Controller at least ten days prior the said trans
Ter; nor shall any such safe deposit company, bank
transfer any securities or assets of the estate of
nonresident decedent without retaining sufficient
portion or amount thereof to pay any tax which
may thereafter be assessed on account OF the
transfer of such securities or assets under the
provisions of this article. unless the State Con-
troiler consents thereto in writing. And it shall
be lawful for the said county treasurer or State
Controller. personally or by representative, to
examine said securities or assets at the time Of
such delivery or transfer. Failure to serve such
notice allow such ation, TO retain
sufficient portion or amount to pay such tax as
herein provided shall render said safe deposit com
person or PERSONS liable to the payment of the
tax due upon said securities assets in pursu-
ance Of the provisions of this article.
Ex-Assemblyman Mazet. one Of the State
Transfer Tax Commissioners. said yesterday:
The action OF the New-Jersey trust companies
in pointing a way to evade the new law Is
engaging our attention just now This depart
ment levied State taxes GIG estates in the
last fiscal year and collected a large sum of
money The attempt to evade the law may
result IN amendments to the statute.

TRAFFIC CONGEsTED IN BUFFALO,
MUCH OF THE TROUBLE ATTRIBUTED To
EXPOSITION CROWDS
[sY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

IBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNEI
Buffalo, n. Y, June lin spite of the danger
persons are permitted to stand between seats on
open cars IN this city. and thus far the railway
officials have failed to enforce any rules TO pre-
vent the practice. In consequence women and
children crushed. and weak persons do not
know whether to stand sit, either attitude
being equally uncomfortable and dangerous
while all complaints disregarded by con-
ductOrs
Buffalonians have considered until recently
that the crush in the cars was due to the Pan
American crowds in the city. but the attendance
at the exposition they know now. has not been
large enough TO warrant this. and although they
have suffered in silence their indignation has
not been the less, The trouble is due largely to
the men who wait for the open so they can
smoke, and to see them crowd women out OF the
way to board the car is not uncommon. New
brakes. electric and air. have been put on most
of the cars. and whenever green rlotOrmen Op-
crate them II is almost as dangerous as a foot
ball scrimmage to be standing In the cars. There
straps to cling to, room scarcely In
which to stand. and the most pitifuI object in
the city is a delicate woman her way to the
exposition being jOlted back and forth helplessly
Nearly all the complaints are confined to the
main lines leading to the exposition.

ENCOURAGE THE STAGE

What is the matter with Judge
Humphreys in regard to the Opara
House? Lots Of people go there
every night whens performance is
given and they are pleased and
spend merry evening. OF course
out in Arzoua higher grade of
music is beard, although we have
never seen any press notice OF Tre-
belli and Patti and Sarah B visiting
that musicsllY critical Territory.
The writer has some knowledge OF
music and is probably the only man
here who ever heard Christina Nil
son and Trebelli sing a duet from
the Hotel D'Angleterre in Copen-
hagen before an audience OF 10000
people, aud yet the writer goes to
the Opera House and enjoys the
singing of the Stanton Cnmpauy.
But the gentleman from Arizona
should understand that the con-
panes who do come here and pre-
sent decent performances to the pub
lie are not here for ths benefit OF
b,qssee men like the Copenhagen
editor and his much more up to-
date colleague OF Arizona (wherever
that may be.) They give great
pleasure to the hundreds of people
who have not had the advantage Of
listening to Arizona music and they
should be encouraged by all means.
We feel sure that the severe critic
OF the Republican cannot point out
the moment when the tenor goes
half note up or down. The only
note he knows is probably 10 Bish-
ops bank across the street. We are
glad to have the Stantons here ard
our folks are pleased; why then
should we discourage theatrical
managers and companies. If the
Republican wants to form a syndi-
cate tor the introduction OF COM
pany Of the celebrated stars to per,
form here we are ready to join in.
Christina, however, is over 60 years
old and may refuse to come; Trcbel-
i was As years OF age 25 years ago;
Sarah B with tho modesty 30 be-
coming to her told the writer waen
she passed through HONOLULU some
years ago that her oldest "boy" was
then 81 years OF age - there was no
mention OF the unknown male parent
and that indicates that Sarah B is
no longer a spring chicken. We
simply want to encourage anV de-
cent theatrical party willing 10 come
here and we enter public protest
against any one attempting to throw
decent company down.
