TRANSFER TAX LAW.
New York Statute Upheld by the
Supreme Court.

Washington, April 15.-New York
transfer tax law was today declared con-
stitutionaI by the supreme court of the
United States in deciding the case of
Winthrop Chanler end other heirs of the
late Mrs. Laura Aston Delano vs. Comp
troIler Kelsey in which the decision was
against Mr.. Chanler. The case arose in
connection with the will of Mrs. DeIano.
bv which she devised to members of
the Astor family about $4.0O0.0O0 worth
OF property left her by her father, VIII
liam B. Aston. under directions given .by
him before his death and before the
statute was enacted The question thus
presented was whether the transfer tax
law which imposes a tax under certain
conditions Is constitutional. The state
courts sustained it and he federal SUI
preme court upheld them in that course.
The court s. opinion was handed down
bV Justice Day He found Mrs. Delano's
will to be the eliminating act in devils
ing the property. and therefore held the
law to be applicable. Justice Holmes de-
'livered a dissenting opinion in which
Justice Moody concurred-

other governments. but not to prevent
the said punishment of such as may Oe
deemed contrary to the public welfare. L
cannot assent to that view if il be meant
that the legislature may impair or
abridge the right of a free press and Of
free speech whenever in its judgment the
public welfare requires that it be done.
The public welfare cannot override con-
stitutionai privileges and if the right of
Fl ee speech and of a free press are, in
their essence, attributes of national citi-
zenship, then neither congress nor any
state since the adoption of the fourteenth
amendment can. by legislation or by ju-
dicial action, impair or abridge them. In
my Judgment thu action of the court be-
low was in violation of the right of free
speech and q free press as guaranteed by
the constitution.
Il go further and hold that the priv
leges of free speech and Of free press
belonging to every citizen of tie United
States constitute essential parts OF every
mans liberty and protest against viola
tion of that clause of the fourteenth
amendment forbidding state of depTiv-
irg any person OF his liberty without due
process of law. 1t is, I think impossi-
bic to conceive of liberty as secured ey
the constitution against hostile action
whether by the nation or by the state
which does not embrace the right to en-
10Y free speech and the right to have
a free press.

Employees Ask Time and Half for
Work on Sundays and Holidays,
Which Is Refused.

The employees of the Utah Fire Clay
company. numbering about thirty-five
men, struck at II O'Clock Monday fore
noon because they were refused time and
a half for Sunday and holiday work. The
men receive S2-25 a day regular pay, but
do not think it fair that they should have
to work Sundays and holidays at that
rate. They made their grievance known
to Laurence Green, the superintendent Of
the works, who refused to consider it.
The matter has not yet been adjusted and
the men are still out.

Displayed Great Nerve.

He was taken to St. Marks hospital in
the patrol wagon. Regaining conscious
ness before the hospital was reached he
asked that his wife be notified and
brought to the hospital and then asked
the officers how much of his limbs would
have to be amputated
On the operating table this was quickly
decided. Dr. L. WOrthingtOn, surgeon for
the Garfield Smelter company, found the
bones in the right leg so badly shattered
that amputation above the knee was nee
essary. Several inches were then taken
off the left leg and the fractured skull
was attended to.

Young Teacher Evidently Had Her
Opinion Of the Principal.

A certain young teacher in one Of
the schools in Springfield, Mass. was
recently more or less annoyed by the
attentions of one Of the masculine sex
who holds a position OF principal in
the same school There was in this
young woman's room a pupil who was
very dull and stupid.
One day the gallant principal was
asked by the admired one to give his
permission to have the child removed
to some other room, thinking possibly
he might be benefited by the change
The suggestion did not meet with the
principals immediate favor, and he
demonstrated.
Suppose, said he. you and we're
married and we had a child that ma
ture was not overland to. and we sent
him to school. Suppose the teacher
refused to have him in her room, say

learn, what would you say?"
