night kept vigil for signs of fire. which
fortunately did not appear.
It was afterward found that the bolt

The TAX IS ILLEGAL
Judge Simpson Declares the 1902 In
heritance Tax Law to Be I'm
constitutional.
Matter Comes Up in Connection
With the Estate of Sol
Smith Russell.

Judge Simpson this morning declared the
inheritance tax law of 1902 demonstrations
al. The matter will be appealed to the
supreme court. The decision, If upheld
will mean the loss of many thousands of
dollars to.this and other counties.
The question of the laws validity was
raised by H. b. Chamberlain, attorney for
the estate of the late Sol Smith Russell,
now being probated. Judge Harvey re-
fused to distribute the estate until the
Inheritance tax on the estate, valued at
S112,000 was paid. Mr.. Chamberlain APP
piled for a writ of mandamus to compel
the distribution Judge Harvey opposed
the application in order to have the dis
trict court pass upon the law. This morn
ing, after listening to the arguments of
Mr.. Chamberlain and Assistant County At
torney Smith, Judge Simpson announced
that he was firmly Of the opinion that the
law was INVALID. He, therefore, granted
the writ, at the same time. however, CIV
ing stay of twenty days, with the under
standing that the question should be taken
to the supreme court at once for decision.
The Ramsey county; probate court has
already decided the law unconstitutional.
The contention of Mr.. Chamberlain Is
that by a provision of the state constitu-
ton in an amendment of 1894 the Inherit
ance tax may be graded or uniform but
shall not. exceed per cent of the estate.
The recent law of 1902 provides a tax of
one-half of i per cent and 10 per cent
for collateral heirs above an exemption of
$4,000. Thus the rate is plainly. fixed
above the percent allowed in the consti-
tutional enactment and the law, there
fore, would seem to be invalid.

Yellow Timepieces Forced Upon Two

The Wolfe boys were inveigled into the
place yesterday afternoon by one of the
employees who learned that they had no
money. He told them they were in danger
o farrest for vagrancy, and offered to find
them work as railroad brakemen.
But if they were to take such work they
must have railroad watches and these
were quickly supplied In the shape of
suspiciously yellow timepieces engraved
with locomotives. The boys own watches
were cody lifted out of their pockets in
exchange and the victims were then
steered up against nearby employment
agency only to find no work. Returning

by a charge of 81 apiece for cleaning the
watches that had been taken from them.
Then they complained to the police.

Portland avenue. The fact that several
saloonkeepers belong to the club led the
good people of tn copper lake to fear that
the island was to be used for beer picnics
on Sundays. Any such purpose is dis.
tinctly disavowed by the lessees.
Mrs. Grimshaw took pains to inquire
to what use the island was to be put. and
was informed that nothing was further
from the plans of the iessees than beer
picnics:
AS I understand it, said Mrs. Grim

there appear to be several liquor dealers,
have formed a club and intend to form
a little colony of their own on the island
this summer. The lease stipulates that
the island is to be used only by the les
sees.
