IL Has No Right to Col
Iect Tax.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. s.-The orphans'
court of this city has decided that DR..
Thomas w. Evans, the famous dentist, who
died in Paris several years ago, and over
whose estate there has been much litiga-
tion, was a Partisan. and that the state
of Pennsylvania has no right TO collect the
collateral inheritance tax on the property
located In France. The proceedings
brought by the register of wills, raised the
question Of the residence OF the dentist and
involved the collection of the per cent
state tax on upward OF 81 100000 Of the
$4,000 estate. DR.. Evans was originally
q resident OF Philadelphia and Register
Irwin contended that he had never an
nounced his intention of permanently re-
siding in Paris and that therefore the Der-
sonal property was liable to taxation. Ex-
tracts from the memoirs of the dentist con-
taining reference to this country, made
upon occasions OF his meetings with the
French nobility, were offered in evidence
to substantiate the claim.

WIRELESS SERVICE in ALASKA
Lines Have Been Used for CONNER
ciRl Purposes for Year with
Good Results.

WASHINGTON, Nov. s.-The new wire
less telegraph stations at Fairbanks and
Circle City, Alaska. are ready for opera
tion. according TO advices Just received by
Brigadier General Allen, chief signal off,
Ger Of the army The stations are 140 miles
apart and are designed to have a radius
of about $50 miles.
Stations are planned at various points
from Nome to Cape Flattery, and before
year has elapsed the signal corps expect
to have in operation wireless connections
from Bering strait to Puget sound. This
is intended to supplement the Valdez-Sitka
cable and the land telegraph lines which
in the severe season are difficult TO keep in
working order.
There are wireless stations in operation
at Nome and st. Michael. distance of 1O7
miles across Norton sound. The station at
Nome will be enlarged and a new station
constructed at Fort Gbhen, and these will
be operated with naval wireless stations at
sitka and Cape Flattery It is likely that
stations will be constructed also at Eagle
City and Gulkana, in order to replace land
lines between those points Which traverse
the toughest country of Alaska.
The wireless system between Nome and
st. Michael has been operated without a
break during the last year and has been
used for commercial business. These sta
tions have demonstrated the fact that the
wireless System for Alaska is far more
feasible for the transmission of CONNER
cial business than are the land lines.

OCEAN RECORDS ARE BROKEN
LusitaniR Holds Laurels Coveted by
All Sea Craft ON the
Course.

NEW YORK. Nov. s.--The marvellous
-ecord established less than a month ago
W the giant Cunarder Lusitania when she
cut several hours from the passage time
across the Atlantic. already has been
broken, The Lusitania still retains the title
Of queen of the seas, as it was she her
self that established the new low mark,
and incidentally she added several new
records to her credit. These include the
best single days run-6iS knots made No
vember 6-an average of more than 600
knots for every full day and an average
hourly speed Of 2425 knots for the full
,7s1 miles.
On her last voyage the Lusitania covered
the distance in four days, nineteen hours
and fifty-two minutes. The voyage ended
.oday over the same course, was COM
oleted i'm four days, eighteen hours and
forty minutes, thus clipping one hour and
twelve minutes from the previous low
mark. And this was done in the face OF
conditions none too favorable. From the
start the weather was stormy and on the
last two days, when the big steamer was
on the home-stretch, where the greatest
burst of speed might have been expected.
she drove straight into the teeth Of a
strong wind, high seas and occasional
sharp squalls. The days runs for the
voyage were q. COG, SIG, 61s. SO and 80
knots
In the Lusitania's big vaults was stored
nearly $12,OOO.OO0 in gold, more than a
quarter of the immense total which has
been engaged abroad by American bank
ers since the present almost unprecedented
movement began. This gold will be trans
ferred from the steamer to the consignees
and then added to the country's available
circulation.
Soon after the big ship was warped into
its dock longshoremen began carrying
ashore the twehty-four tons of golden
treasure. which was contained in 1894 small
but heavy steel-bound wooden cases. The
gold was then hauled on hand trucks to
| seven wagons where It was loaded and
started across town to it's destination.
The shipment comprised gold coin and
bar gold amounting to $129G1,15O and made
the total gold arrivals to date amount to
s52, ,91f,15O.
