WANTS TO
BECOME
A PARTY.
United States Desires 10 Have
lha Question on a Mandamus
Case Finally Adjudicated.

Gen. Charles A. Wilson. United States
district attorney for Rhode Island. ap-
peared before Judge Douglas in the sp-
pellate division OF the supreme court to-
day and asked that the United states
government bo allowed to become a party
20 the mandamus proceedings brought by
William NJ. p. Bowen against Edward
Field, clerk Of the municipal court OF
this city.
Gen. Wilson said he appeared under in
structions from Attorney General KNOX.
Mr.. Bowen was sometime ago appoint
ed administrator Of the estate remaining
unsdministercd OF John H. McNally and
offered bond 60 Clerk Field as is Gus
tomary I'm such cases. This bond Mr..
Field refused because il did not have
nifty cent revenue stamp upon It,
Mr.. Bowen claimed that the bond was
not an idemnity bond and did not legally
come within the provisions OF the amend
ed war tax measure. He also claimed that
IL there was claim made that such
bonds were OF themselves taxable the
claim was unconstitutional because IL
was tax on the judicial process OF Il
state.
Gen. Wilson said that the point raised
was a most important one. The govern
ment wanted the point settled and
thought the present case "A good one 60
settle whether the tax was proper or not.
Mr.. Bowen was perfectly willing that
the government should have the case set
tied. Gen. Wilson said II Tie government
was made n party the case could he
taken to the United States court. Mr..
Bowen did not object 90 the case going
TO the federal court.
Judge Douglas held the case for con-
sideration and for consultation with the
other judges. His honor was not satisfied
that third party could be allowed 90
come in and have it's rights passed up
where the proceedings were of the ma
ture of petition for a writ Of manda-
mus.
The large number OF probate courts i'm
the country and the very large number OF
bonds given by administrators yearly
shows the great Importance OF the ques-
ton 10 the revenues of the government.
