STOPS ALL CARS;
PREVENTS R|0TS
Following Arrest of inspectors at New
York, "second Fare" Districts
Are Left Without
Service
81 Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Folowing the
arrest tonight of three inspectors of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company
on charges of assault in the third de-
gree, the company shut off entirely all
it's surplus lines leading to Coney Is
land, taking the position that this was
the only way to stop the rioting which
has been on since Sunday morning at
points where a second fare was de-
manded by the company's employees.
The elevated and express trains to
the seashore were augmented. The ar
rested inspectors were bailed in the sum
of $500 each.
The stoppage of the surface car traf-
fic had the effect of quieting the dis
turbances tonight, and the company
claims 1t will not attempt to run the
surface cars through to Coney Island at
rush hours until the danger of rioting
is past.
Counsel for the company today wrote
to the acting corporation counsel de-
claring that the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit lines were not afforded police pro-
lection.
The surface cars which were stopped
tonight were run during the morning
and early afternoon on a half hour
headway There were many disputes
at Neck Road and Gravesend avenue.
and number of passengers were
dragged from the cars.
Sheriff Flaherty of Kings county
said tonight that he was prepared to
swear in one thousand deputies If the
situation should demand and commis-
sions were issued to several score.
whom he sent to the scene Of the re-
cent disorders.
The stoppage of traffic tonight made
the employment OF further deputies at
this time unnecessary. The company
has experienced only little dificulty in
road passengers to Coney Island and is
depending on this service to solve tenn
porarily at least the existing troubles.
The b. r. t. stopped its surface cars
at the second fare limits despite threats
that action to annul the charter for
these roads from Neck Road to Coney
Island would be instituted.

TAX
MUST Be PAID
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION
Amount Now Due the State Treasurer
Roughly Estimated at From
Million and Half to Two
Million Dollars
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE SUI
preme court today handed down a de-
cision in the famous Oscar A. Trippett
case on the right of the state to the in
heritance taxes payable under the col
lateral inheritance tax law existing up
to 1906 which had not been paid at the
time of the repeating of the statute.
BY the old law, which had been placed
on record in 1S99 persons liable for an
inheritance tax were given eighteen
months in which to pay the tax into the
state treasury, at the expiration of
which time 10 per cent penalty was
added.
The court held that the money due
was still the property of the state, but
did not pass upon the method by which
the collections could be enforced, stat
ing in conclusion that whether or not
there is legal method of collecting the
tax must be question for decision
when the state seeks to enforce its
right to the money"
The decision will mean that between
81. .500,O 900 and 100000 in inheritance
taxes which should have been paid into
the state treasury under the old law
and which have been held up pending
the ruling of the supreme court will be
added to the state treasury at such
time as the proper legal method by
which the money may be collected is
decided upon.
One of the largest individual taxes
which will be liable for collection under
the ruling will be the tax upon the in
heritance of the Stanford heirs.

PRIMARY ELECTION
PASSES QUIETLY
RUFF TICKET WINS OUT IN II
DISTRICTS
Closest Contest Waged In ThIrty-sixth,
Where Essers Defeated oroanIza-

Defeat
BY Associated Press.

by AHsociated Hre81
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE pri-
mary election passed off quietly today.
AS there were but few contests little in
terest was manifested and a very light
vote was cast.
Incomplete returns at midnight indi-
cate that the Republican organization.
or so-called Ruef ticket. was elected
in II out of 1S assembly districts in this
city. and county.
The fight centered in the Thirty-fifth
Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh dis
tricts. In the Thirty-ffth district the
opposition known as the DAILY ticket,
was headed by John S. Partridge, a
former candidate for mayor. The Ruef
forces are said to have elected their
ticket
The hardest contest was waged in
the Thirty-sixth district, where former
Supervisor Fred Eggers led a sharp
fight against the organization and is
the only district in which Ruef appears
to have been defeated.
Another fight which attracted some
attention was made in the Thirty-sev-
enth district, where ticket known as
the Fisk ticket was put up in opposi-
tion to the Ruef delegates. 1t is Post
master Arthur G.. Fisk's home district.
1t is believed that the Fisk faction
lost the district to the regular organiza-
tion ticket.
The Democrats had two tickets up in
most of the districts.
The regular Democratic organization
ticket was defeated in all but two dis
tricts. The anti-McNab forces elected
their delegates to the state, county and
congressional and city conventions in
the entire burned district of the city.
The organization or MeNab people
were only successful in the Thirty-first
tering delegate here and there in the
other districts.

city, was ordered released from Sing
Sing prison by Judge Hough of the
United States court today on writ OF
habeas corpus. Browne was recently

from custody Judge Hough declared
that there Is no authority vested In the
United States to seize or hold persons
extradited in pursuance of treaty privi-
leges except upon the charge on which
the extradition was granted.
The court declared: This decision
rests not only principally upon the
civil rights of a fugitice criminal who
has been returned in accordance with
an increasingly civilized international
law, but upon the ground of national
honor, imposing upon this government
the obligation to deal with the human
being entrusted to 1t by a friendly
foreign power only with respect of the
matter by reason Of which he was SO

MANILA, Aug. 14.-Governor Ide re-
turned to Manila today after a confer
ence at Tacloban, Island of Leyte,
August IL, with Major General Wood,
Brigadier General Lee, Governor De-
veyra, fifteen presidents and. Colonel
Taylor of the constabulary. The presi-
dents promised to support the Ameri-
can authorities and to furnish informa-
tion leading to the determination of the
Pulajanes
There are various causes for the
present conditions of Pulajanism in the
island Of Leyte, dating to the Spanish
times.
The disarming of the municipal police
by Governor Deveyra, his political OPP
ponents assert, caused the recent dis
turbances. 1t is declared that if the
late First Lieutenant John f. James of
the English infantry had possessed cor
rect information he would not have
gone out with a small force August 1
! The fight occurred In the darkness ano
! the troops were the victims of the bolc
rush of the superior numbers during
which their rifles were of no use. The
bodies of Lieutenant James, Contract
Surgeon Calvin d. Snyder, Private Will
liam j. Sillick and Mathies zeck have
been buried at Tacloban.
VIII Appoint commission
Governor Ide has decided to appoint
commission consisting of Governor
Deveyra, Brigadier General Lee, Lieu
tenant Taylor and three presidents to
visit the disaffected districts and hold
meetings of the town councils to i'm
press them with the necessity of CO.
operation and support in the extermina-
tion of the Pulajanes
The outlaw band numbers about one
hundred and is being greatly increased
by the leaders forcing peaceful farmers
to participate in raids, threatening
them with death If they refuse. These
recruits are armed with bolos. The
real Pulajanes do not trust them with
guns
A special term of court has been or
dered at Tacloban to try the prisoners.
1t Is understood that the leaders will
get the extreme penalty of the law but
that the misguided natives will be dealt
with leniently.
