Gently told Of an experience in a
small country hotel in New England.
whereby the actor was much an
noyed by the playing of cornet at
night by guest whose room was
adjoining that of Dixey.
In the morning the landlord, meet
ing Dixey on the stairs. said to him,
before the player could enter com
plant in regard to the proceedings
OF the night before:
How did you enjoy the cornet
playing in the next room?"
Enjoy IT," sneered Dlxey; why,

Kipling the Man.

There is a very graceful act con-
nected with Kipling that few people
know. For years no literary man re-
.ceiyed so many requests for his au-
Itograph. He hit on this plan to sup
ply all who wanted them. and to do
a good deed at the same time: he
sold the autographs for dollar
apiece. and presented the proceeds
TO the Fresh Air Fund of the "New
York Tribune" As result the fund
has been increased by thousands of
dollars. W
His modesty is sincere. Once a

Kipling talks very rapidly. There

known as the English accent. He
really talks more like an American
than an Englishman.
Once he was talking about men
and manners to some friends. Sud-

crabs, stuffed sea-horses and other
wonders of the mighty deep. Yet out
of this seeming confusion have come
great additions to the scientific
knowledge of the world. And be-
nevolent and paternai government
pays Doctor Gill for his labors the
sum of 81 a month.
The fact that the scientist has a
personal fortune of quarter of a

more or less financial sacrifice to
themselves.
Mr.. Bache tells OF many wealthy
men who are working for the gov
eminent at paltry wages. There Is
DR.. Harrison G.. Dyer the great bug
lologist" who knows more about mos
quitoes than anyone else in the
world, working for $25 a month.
Clifford Pinchort. a millionaire, works
for slim $4,000 year as head Of
the U. S. forestry service. Many
other prominent men OF wealth are
mentioned, who are employed In gov
eminent work at ridiculously small
wages. With some Of them, public
spirit furnishes the inspiration; in
other instances the honor,
the prestige. and the opportunity Of
doing things" as Mr., Roosevelt
says, afford a more powerful ineen-
tive than any desire for gain. But
whatever the motive. there seems to
be new kind OF aspiration--an as
plration Which produces results both
substantial and valuable TO the peo-
pie and to the country at large.

SAYS THE SUPREME COURT.

Washington. Dec. 26.--The opinion
OF the supreme court Of the United
States in the case of the board of
education of the Kentucky annual
conference of the Methodist Episco-
pal church VS.. the state OF Illinois,
which was handed down today by
Justice McKenna. was favorable to
the state.
The suit grew out of a contention
over the point as to whether the lili-
non state law exempting religious
aud educational institutions from
the operation OF the inheritance tax
applies 20 institutions outside the
state. In the case decided the state
authorities undertook to collect the
tax on a building in Chicago which
was devised by a Kentucky lady to
the church in that state
The Illinois courts held that the
law was Intended only for the pro-
lection Of state institutions, and that
IL did not cover the Kentucky be-
quests. The opinion of Justice Nc
Kenna affirmed that decision. In con-
Guiding his opinion. Justice McKenna
said

THE MORSE
INTERNATIONAL AGENCY
On and After April 1, the Corpora
tion of the Lyman D. Morse Ad-
vertising Agency VIII Be
Known at the Morse Inter-
national Agency

This agency had its beginning over
sixty Years ago and constituted a special
form of business activity in newspaper
advertising which had but newly devel-
oped through the commercial conditions
existing then. 1t was founded by S. NJ
/ sPettengill, in 1910, and met with success
from the start. Mr. ]. H. Bates WAS
early admitted to partnership and the
name of s. NJ. Pettengill Company be-
came proyerbial as the leading adyertis-
!. ing agency in the United States After
many years of the firms unlimited sue
cess, Mr.. Bates in 1886 bought out the
entire interest of Mr.. Pettengill, thus be-
coming sole owner of this large business;
but the firm name continued as J. H.
Bates until January 1, 1893, when Mr..
Lyman d. Morse, who had been active
with Mr.. Bates for a number of years,
became partner in the concern and caus-
ed the firm style to be changed to Bates
& Morse.
After two years of partnership with
Mr.. Bates, Mr. Morse became the sole
owner of the business and the name of
the firm changed to the Lyman D. Morse
Advertising Agency.
On March 1. 1898. H. Henry Donelos
became the partner of Mr.. Morse and so
continued until the latter's death on
March G. 1901
On April /, 1901, the firm was incor-
porated under the laws Of the State Of

valuations and tax rates through the
other channel, and the taxpayers would
have very little to say about it.
If it should chance, in some future
time. it is argued. that railroad Gov
ern6rt We're elected. it would not be diff
cult to see what tremendous influence
might he exercised in behalf of raising
or lowering general valuations IN way
that would greatly favor the railroads.
Not only might the assessors be dismiss
ed. but taxes might be most unjustly daio
without appeal.
There are many able lawyers who de-
clare the Avis bill to be unconstitutional
on the ground that it enables the county
boards to lower or increase valuations
It is contended that when property is
assessed "at it's true value it Is not
within the discretion of the county board
to say that such valuation should be low
cred, because the State constitution pro-
vides that all property must be assessed
"at its true value" The county board
may lower valuations. but has no power
to raise them.
Senator Minturn made such an attack
on the Avis bill while it was pending in
the Senate He bitterly denounced it as
a vicious, revolutionary and dangerous
measure, which would completely upset
the present principles of taxation. He
also intimated that the same influences
which was opposing equal taxation were
behind the Avis bill.
The Hudson Senator made an able and
energetic fight against the bill, but was
out-voted by the influence which he hint
ed at in his speech. If the bill should
be amended by the House and sent back
to the House for concurrence, he will
make a more savage attack upon it than
before. with 4 view Of accomplishing its
defeat. He claims it should never be
allowed to become a law, as it will work
untold injnFy in Hudson County. which
is practically the railroad centre Of tire
State. and where the railroads. with their
influence would force private property
values to bc lacked mp beyond all reason.

ed upon the people who forced equal tax

ludricrous fact that he hit upon the ship
subsidy bill as the measure where his
hero was so powerfully tempted. He
had a caucus Of sixty-nine3 or 50 Western
members meeting and pledging them-
selves to stand to the last against the
bill, and then briefly sketched how they
were nearly all won over by the pressure
from the White House, the Senate, and,
mirabile dictu, the Speaker. The idea
that Speaker Cannon is exerting great
pressure TO get the ship subsidy bill
through is so ridiculous as TO destroy the
Illusions of an otherwise entertaining
story.
As matter of fact, everyone who
knows naything about the situation is
well aware of the fact that if Speaker
Cannon merely gave the nod the shipping
bill would go through the House with no
opposition worthy the name Whether
he will give the word this session, next
session, or not at all, is a matter cf con-
lecture. At present the popular belief is
that he is holding the bin up for trading
purposes. That is to say. he thinks he
can trade that bill against the statehood
and other bills. and thus advantage the
House in its dealings with the Senate.
He knows the Senate and the admins
tration favor it, and is credited with the
hope Of obtaining concessions for letting
it passe the House. At his direction the
House committee on merchant marine
will give a series of hearings on the sub
ject, but it consumes time and delays
the passage of the bill. Then, if we are
all good, Uncle Joe" will let us have an
American merchant marine.

Man Found Dying On the
Erie Tracks At Ravine
Avenue Thought to Have
Been Robbed and Placed
There
HAD NO SHOES OR OvERC0AT
WATGHNlgAN SAYS HE SAW A
HOBO WITH HIM AND THE PO-
LICE THEORY MAKES THE
LATER RESPONSIBLE.

The police of this city and Hoboten
are to-day working on what they believe
TO be mysterious murder. They spent
the night looking for the supposed MUIR
derer. At noon the detectives assigned
TO the case We're still baffled.
At 9-15 o'clock last night an unidenti-
fed man, apparently about forty-five
years Of age, and weighing about 230
pounds was found lying near the Brie
Railroad tracks at the foot of Ravine
avenue by watchman Of the Delaware
Lackawanna and Western Railroad. and
an Erie watchman. Apparently the man
had been hit by a train. but an investi-
CATION of the case led TO suspicion of
foul play. The man was taken to st.
Mary's Hospital, where he died two
hours later. The man was well dressed,
wearing black suit of clothes and a
black Derby hat with the label of D.
NJ. Israel, No. 399 Central avenue. as
hat maker. pasted on the inside. The
fact that he was found thus attired. but
without shoes or overcoat. led the police
to suspect foul play. No trace of the
missing articles of apparel could be
found.
A watchman on the Erie Road noticed
heavily built man walking along the
tracks from Jersey City to Hoboken at
7.30 O'Clock in the evening. He appeared
to be intoxicated. Near Hobeken he
was joined by second man whom tie
watchman described as a tough Hobo.
The watchInan says the we'll dressed man
hailed the tough and that they walked
down the tracks together. Two hours
later he was told by William Riley the
.. L. & W. watchman, that he (Riley)
had heard groans emanating from be-
neoth the bridge The two men investi-
gated and found the injured man de-
ScrIbed above An Erie train had passed
only a few minutes before. The back OF
the injured mans skull had been crushed
in. A st. Mary's ambulance was tele-
phoned for and the man hurried to that
institution. Nothing was found in the
pockets Of his clothing by which he could
be identified. The suit of clothing he
wore cost between $50 and $50.
There was a tilt between the Hoboken
and Jersey City police as to which de-
partmeat the case was up to. The Jer-
sey City department decided to take no
chances. Detective-Sergeants Noble,
Gallagher and Blackshaw We're soon on
the job. The theory of the police is that
the man was held up by the tough in
whose company he was seen; that the
tough" knocked him eense.ess with some
weapon, robbed him and then placed the
body on the tracks TO be run over in or
der to hide his crime. An autopsy wiki
be held this afternoon.
