WILL CARRY CONTEST
TO THE HIGHEST COITRT

Chief Justice Beatty of the Supreme
Court Of California has granted a peti-
ton for writ of error in the Cornelia
Campbell estate proceedings and the
matter will be carried to the United
States Supreme Court. The action was
commenced to test the constitution
ality of the collateral inheritance tax
law. The State Supreme Court held
the measure to be valid, and after
granting a rehearing again affirmed
the constitutionality of the provision.
The United States Supreme Court will
hear arguments on the case Septem-
Der 16.
The contested law imposes a tax Of
5 per cent on legacies to those who
are not heirs of the decedent in di-
rect line. Thus brothers and sisters
of deceased persons must pay the tax
while fathers and sons are exempt.
Assistant District Attorney Harris will
represent the State at the hearing at

Party Was Raided by the
Police Again in Trouble
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 26.-Report
reaches here that H. B. Seely was ar
rested in Bisbee, charged with hav-
ing passed bogus checks to the amount
of $3.50 while intoxicated. After his
arrest he was very much humiliated
and Immediately telegraphed to rela-
tives in New York for money to square
things. 1t is not believed here that
any serious punishment will be in
f1icted, for it seemed he did not intend
to defraud.
An unfortunate circumstance oc-
Cured in connection with the incident.
Seely was seen previously in the COM
pany of A L. Bagnel, a nephew Of
Governor Brodie and a respected en-
ploye of the Copper Queen Company.
The arresting officer, mistaking the de-
scriptions of the two men, arrested
Bagnen. who was entirely innocent,
but who was subjected to some hu-
initiation in the matter before he was
released.
Seely passed through Phoenix some
weeks ago en- route to Bisbee, and ac-
quaintances here who have known him
a long time say he is the same young
man who gave the "Seely dinner, "
which was raided by the police in New
York a few years ago. Having spent
much money, he came West to begin
life over.
