HEIRS FIGHT WAR TAX.
Executor OF b. NJ. stanley sues 10 Recover
SDI $50 Prem Government.

SDJ ESQ From Government.
Making use Of the precedent established
by the United States Supreme Court IN the
case Of the executor Of the will Of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, John +. Stanley Of Newark,
as executor Of the will Of his brother, Ber-
nard VI. Stanley, has begun suit against
Dr. Herman {. H. Herold, as Collector Of
Internal Revenue, TO recover Ss7, $50 o5,
said to have been Illegally collected as
inheritance tax under the war tax got Of
1895
Judge Gross heard the arguments yes
terday In the United States District Court
at Newark. He reserved decision. The
testimony developed the fact that during
the two years Immediately following the
death OF Bernard NJ Stanley in 1900 the
testator's three sons received incomes
from their shares Of the estate Of 81 ,77p Al
each. Under the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court, handed down last
February, an estate cannot be taxed unless
OF until Il Is in actual possession Of the
legatees. II u contended that IN this in
stance, as in the Vanderbilt case, the leEa-
tees were not In possession Of the estate
when the war tax was imposed.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN-Sir: beg
leave to suggest that Fifth avenue might be
greatly beautihed without encroaching on
the area Of the park (which should be abso-
lutely inviolable, by the simple method OF
training vines over the walls. as is the custom
in the Berkshires, grass-soddinE that portion
Of the walk now graveled. and planting An
other row-possibly twO-of trees. In one
old town OF Connecticut. a State which, by
the way. owes much Of its picturesGueness
20 the stone walls which Mr.. Roosevelt 50
abhors. the main street is adorned by four
stately rows OF trees, with green grass
everywhere except in the road way and stone
walk. The effect is beautiful and dignihed
in the extreme, the JOY Of every one who visits
the town. ] repeat. more trees-two rows. at
least. for the whole length OF the street ad-
joining the park-Green grass and vines are
all that Fifth avenue needs. and these il can
get without stealing. CoNN.

To THE Enron or THE SUN-Sr; Not
Withstanding the petition. opulent In impress
elve signatures, calling for serious modin-
cation OF the easterly boundary OF Central
Park, this proposed invasion cannot be justi-
fled by any existing or probable prospective
needs Of Fifth avenue As a city road way or
street. this avenue already affords 20 lts resi-
dents double facility. by reason Of the limi-
tatlon OF the buildings 70 one side, and with
future inteligently restricted tranio, those
who dwell on the park side would enjoy, as
they do now, IN fact, most desirable and
exceptional privilege,
Nor does the need seem pressing In any
way for an extension OF the Park drives.
These were Intended for che enjoy m ent which
comes with leisurely riding. In the open air
necessarily, and the agreeable association
Of park scenery, pleasant TO the eye and rest
full 10 the mind. they were not Intended 70
be used for speeding.
This letter was partly written before the
recent timely and effective editorials In IHh
SUN. which has always had its battleaK ready
in defense OF the park; but ask again, az
TIE suN did. why this oft recurring ntful
desire to encroach upon our parks, planned
and effectively executed in the fulhlment
Of their purpose by men OF exceptional skiu
and judgment, and now requiring only en-
Client and sympathetic care 20 meet the con-
ditions for which. with hne foresight. they
were designed more than forty years ago.
The modest boundary wall which II 10
sought 10 remove. unwisely. think, for the
property owners interest. with the imme-
diAte contiguous surface arrangement, had
for its object the carefully studied purpose
Of dissertation between park and street.
q simple inhibition 10 irregular entrance and
an aid 20 retirement and comfort within the
nearby park area. This park needs Just
this effect. with the trees-which now are
so we'll grown that, despite 80 much dissem-
bling love for them. there are those who
would ruthlessly sacrifice them for that which
could never afford the same pleasure and
enjoyment
Il will afford satisfaction 70 a great many
people to know positively that this professed
needless change in the park is abandoned.
