THE MORTGAGE TAX LAW.
". III. Knor argues against 1t and
Suggests Compromise Measure.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir. The Joint Senate and Assembly COMMITTEES
on Taxation VIII give hearing the Mortsags
Tax law IN Albany March L Nav have the
privilege OF addressing them through your news
paper?
This tax on mortgages Is. In It's yearly agsrs-
gate an immense sum. II IS paid. not by ths
lender but by the borrower. It retards both build
ing operations on borrowed money and dealings IN
mortgaged property. 1t raises both the rents OF
tenants and the rates OF interest u lowers the
incomes OF landlords 1t increases the cost OF con
struction It discriminaJes in favor OF unmort-
gagged property and against mOrtgaged properly
II burdens both capital and labor by resulting u
a double tax II Is not needed by the State. And
finally it drives both domestic and foreign funds
from our metropolis. because the owners Of money
who would risk II on the security Of bond ana
mortgage are frightened by this laws usury and
other vexatiOus provisions.

obliged to make their marks" In the debates
on the question the speakers for the bill labori-
ously marshalled against their opponents argu-
ments for the amelioratiOn of labor conditions
which here would be regarded as the veriest
economic commonplaces-ad as true by
trade unionist and employer alike; but vested
interests still darken the vision of majority
OF Palmetto State legislators.
Meanwhile we read in The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter that 1.-THE scarcity of mill
Operatives in the Southern mills Is fast becom-
ling a serious matter to the mill managers, and
many hundred looms are idle, not due to a lacR
Of orders, as there is practically no limit to the
demand, but to shortage of help to run the
looms" Strange isn't it?

lNFLUENCES AT AJGpcJR4s

Among influences which are potent al Alge-
caras The coming electoral campaign in France
must be conspicuOusly reckoned The French
government does not mean-if il can possibly
avoid ito go before the public at the polls with
record of having yielded 10 Germany in a mat
fer which most Frenchmen regard as involving
the honor and welfare OF the republic There
iore-as well as for various other reasOns-it res
olutely maintains lis ground. Yet the very same
circumstance also, we may assume. stiffens the
resolution Of Germany. For the German view
IS that the French government would not Ike
10 have a war scare the eve of the elections
lest II should thus lose the support of the Social
tstS who believe I'm peace al any price. That
such German reckoning is sound is not an an
sure The peace at any price Socialists are q
waning power IN France. and their detection
might be more than counterbalanced By the rise
OF patriotic enthusiasm outside their ranks Re
sides the workingmen's pension bill has just
passed the Chamber, and IL should bind the So
ceists 10 the government with bonds Of steel
Another considerable influence is the anti
German movement In Austria The Czech and
southern Slav Deputies ia the Vienna Reichs
rafh have been asking questions. They have
wanted know whether Austria is bound hand
anu foot German policy. 10 natter wha. il
may he. and whether the dual realm Is Dte-
pared for al possible consequences of German
world polluH- ihey nave pointed out thai I'M
der the Triple Alliance Austria Hungary would
merely hsFe ID maintain benevolent neutrality"
If GerHGEy were attacked by France but would
have 10 &c Germany II Russia should aid France
Ia the attacl. or should take military measures
nlenacing germany. and they have asked pre-
csely how the Austro Hungarian government
inteTfres that latter obligation. The gist of IL III
is thar they have made it plain that they DO not
relish tho idea OF having 10 back Germany in
quarrel with France. As the Czechs and their
allies form tie majority I'm Austria, Germany
naturally feels that she would mol be justified in
depending too much upon The Austrian alliance.
On the whole then, We may consider that
both these influences mako for peaceful agree
ment AT Algeciras, or, at least against anything
Ike al open bresch. If France resolutely holds
her s;ound, supported 10y a majority OF the
lowers. and Germany fnds she cannot count

THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Maurice Barres. recently elected to the French
Academy at the age OF twenty-four. began his lit
erary with a magazine of his own Les
TaChes d'Encre" spots Of Ink), chiefly notable,
perhaps. for the audacity with which the young
magazinist advertised his wares. Even in this
magazine. however. the future novelist and essayist
showed signs OF promise and Jules CIaretie d.
of the French National Theatre. wrote 10 a
friend: II have just received a paper called Les
Taches dEncre.' bearing the signature Maurice
Barres. The name means nothing to your Then
bear it in mind, for it is going TO become cele-
brated."

The frequent deaths reported as resulting from
eating colored candles indicate that the confec-
uonery shop is not so successful in it's mixtures
as the scientist who recently gave synthetic

more attractive it is to children, and also. as
rule the deadlier it is. Pure food legislation
is yet long way behind food adulteration,

MUSTANG sCARES MRS. COGHLAN.
Tries 70 Climb Over Carriage OF Admlrsfs
Wife and Nearly Kills . Woman.

A small mustang that hadn't got quite
used to New York ways stirred up a lot OF
excitement along First avenue yesterday.
He ran away, and before he was caught
by three policemen he had bowled over
several persons, one Of whom may die.
and had run into a carriage containing Mrs.
Coghlan, wife of Admiral Coghlan, and q
friend Of hers. Neither the Admiral's wife
nor her friend was injured.
The nustang was the recent importation
Of a horse dealer named Kowlioh, who has
a stable on Sixth street neal Avenue D.
Samuel Wicks Of l2s East T~wenty-third
street had the animal out last evening with
a two wheeled sulky.
The foghon of an automobile scared the
mustang at Third avenue n Twenty
fourth street. He tore through Twenty
fourth street with the sulky swinging at
his heels like a tin can tied to a dogs tail.
Mrs. Coghlan and her friend, whose name
the police got as Mrs, Weiss, were driving
south on First avenue in a ~brougham be-
longing to the navy yard. They were bound
for the yard by way Of the Twenty third
street ferry. Just as the carriag &c was abreast
Of Twenty fourth street one of the sulky
the mustang seemed to be tryin & to climb
over the carriage. Both women stood up
and screamed. The mustang decided he
couldn't go any further in that direction,
40 he sailed down First a venue with a couple
Of hundred persons at his heels.
At Twenty-second street Mrs. Nellie
Fleis cher Of 3i5 East Twentieth stree t
started to cross the avenue, The crowd Of
pursuers yelled. but the mustang was right
on her before she could heed them. She
was knocked down unconscious and bleed
ing. The mustang lodged elevated pillars
with the sulky banging behind him. People
scrambled to get out OF his way and several
we're knocked down, but no one else was
much injured. Two policemen stopped the
runaway at Twentieth street.
Mrs. Fleisoher was hurried to Bellevue
Hospital. The doctors think her skull Is
fractured. 1t is feared that she will die.
She was terribly bruised.
The police locked up Wicks on a charge
of reckless driving.
