SUFFERS y
HIS ANNUAL LOSS

Lewis L. Olmsted, private clerk to
Thomas Lowry, president Of the 500
line, had his annual oyercoat party last
night. This much-stolen garment is
again in the hands of third party.
A year ago Mr.. Olmsted stepped out of
his office a moment. A few days later
the police were able to return to him
the overcoat which disappeared in his
absence. Altho a winter s wear has re-
moved, some Of the newness of appear:
ance' from the coat, Mr.: Olmsted still
prizes it and is hoping that it will ape
the cat, and come back. Hereafter
when Mr.. Olmsted steps across the hall
to the office Of Secretary and Treasurer
Clement, or saunters to the lower floor
to converse with Harry Lewis of the
passenger department, he has promised
himself that he will wear his overcoat
cap, gloves, muffer, overshoes, leaving
nothing for vandals. Mr.. Olmsted thinks
the police ought to recognize the over.

DESERTS HER HUSBAND

Mrs. J. Hastings Takes 6Year-oId
Daughter and Flees.
J. Hastings 2311 Western avenue, has
asked the police to look for his wife anc
6-year-old daughter who he believes, raj,
away with another man last night.
He says he awoke this morning to find
the house deserted, save for himself, and
many small valuables were missing. His
wife, he says, has been treating him
coolly for some time and seemed to be-
stow all her affection on their boarder.
He did not suspect, however, that she
would run away and was taken com
pletely by surprise. Hastings says that
Christianson recently built a house and
that he loaned him several hundred dol
lars to complete it. The manner in
which the boarder repaid him doubles
his chagrin. s

LEGAL BATTERIES |
ATTACK THE LAW
ARGUMENT ON INHERITANCE
TAX CASE rs TOMORROW.
Counsel for Estates That Are Held Up
Point to Alleged Fatal Flaws in the
Law, Making It Unequal-Attorney-
General Urges Interpretation off Leg
islature's Intent.

An array Of legal talent will face
Attorney-General Young tomorrow,
when he appears before the supreme
court to uphold the constitutionality
OF the 1905 inheritance tax law
Briefs attacking the law have been
,nled by counsel for four estates that
come under its provisions. The John
Martin estate IS represented by Belden,
estate by "A. D. Smith, the Paul D.
Ferguson estate Of st. Paul by How,
Butler & Mitchell, and the " Simpson
estate OF Winona by LII. Brown. It
is understood that the main oral argu-
ment will be made by Jared How,
while Attorney-General Young will
make the argument for the state.
a novel point is raised in the ST..
Paul brief. The law provides that
$4,000 Of each bequest shall be ex-
empt, and that the tax shall be only on
the amount in excess over the exemp-
valuation is over 100000 and less than
$4,000, the rate shall be ~ per cent
thereof The counsel urges that this
exempts another sic, 900 in addition to
the $4,000 already provided for, and
that the amount in excess Of $40, 900
may not be taxes unless it is over
100000, thus exempting a total of
10000; The attorney, general main,
tains that the words "over $4,000
and" are surplusage and that the
plain intent of the legislature was to
tax all in excess Of $4,000. The de-
cision in the case may hinge entirely
on the decision as to the legislative in
tent. .es.g,t z43 .,- ,.s~..
The main contention against the law
is that the progressive rate Is contrary
to the equality provision Of the consti-
tuition, because va bequest of $4,000
paying ~ per cent, would net more
to the heir than an ESTATE of $4,000
paying 8 per cent tax. r.L..
The attorney general replies that
such inequality is allowed by the clause
in the constitution which says that ar
inheritance tax may be graded or pro
gressive. This was passed to qualify
the general requirement of equality
and SO long as the tax operates equally
on members Of the same class it is con
stitutional. In supports Of this he cites
the decisions Of the Illinois supreme
| court and the supreme court Of the
United States, upholding the Illinoi:
| inheritance tax law. =.

MOLL PITCHERS GRAVE,

Told Fortunes for Half a Century Be.
cause Her Father Was a Wizard.
Curious persons often visit roman
tic spot in the busy city Of Lynn, the
grave Of Mol Pitcher, the celebrated
fortune teller. A simple tablet, erect
ed by public-spirited citizens, marks
the grave and commentaries one Of
the strongest stories of love, misfor-
tune and mysticism in New England
annals.
Moll Pitcher was once sweet Mol
Dinond, Marblehead girl. She. mar
r1ed Robert Pitcher, a shoemaker, of
Lynn, long before the revolution, and
lived happily with him, until both he
and their only son was lost at sea,
and she was left alone and penniless
in the world.
Want forced poor Moll Pitcher to
tell fortunes, task which she hated
and often fed from.
Friends and neighbors recalled that
her father had been a famous wizard
in old Marblehead; that he had stood
upon the towns rocky headlands and
shouted orders to his ships at sea and
had guided them safely to port, be-
sides doing other wonderful things.
They insisted that she could do like
wise and forced upon her her business
and her fame.
Lovers, business men, sailors, flock
ed to the doors Of her little white cot
tage beneath famous High Rock, and
eagerly listened to the forecasts Of the
future that she read in the grounds Of
cup of tea, or upon the open palm Of
the hand. Sailors placed great conf
dence in her predictions, and carried
the news Of her sayings to many ports
Of the world.
The celebrated but eccentric Lord
Timothy Dexter of Newburyport, who
made money by selling cargo of old
fashioned warming pans to the saw
ages of a tropical island, consulted her
upon business dealings.
Tradition has it that a black cat,
the common associate Of the witches,
was the sole companion of Moll Pitch
or in her tiny cottage. Two great
whalebones stood before her home,
ana many a visitor to it was ashamed
of his belief In the supernatural and
told his friends that he only went to
look at the whalebones.
After more than fifty years of for.
tune telling Moll Pitcher learned the
secret of life and the future, for she
passed away April 9, 1873, at the age
of To- For many years her grave was
unmarked, but in 1887 Isaac Gould
