to stamp out such fatal practises stalk

the neighborhood.

STATUS OF ADOPTED CHILD
FIXED IN DECISION REM
DEREp BY SUPREME AGAINST
ESTATE SENATOR SHERMAN.

Washington. Jan. 29-The United

the petition for writ of review in
the case of Mary Sherman McCallum,
adopted daughter of the late Senator
John sherman, against the collector
Of internal revenue for the District
OF Columbia, involving the rate of tax.
stion assessed against a part Of the
! sum inherited by her from the sens
tor.
Under the inheritance tax provision
of the war revenue Law of 1898. tax
was levied on $4,000 in cash thus
received by RMS. McCallum, which
placed her In the fifth class of heirs,
or Those who are strangers 10 the

highest tax.
The tax was paid under protest,
and Mrs. McCallum. who contende1
that under the terms of her adoption
she bore the same relationship to
Senator Sherman as his own daugh-
ter, bruoght suit TO recover the dif
ference between the sum paid and
the amount she would have been re-
quired to pay If the closer relation
shin had been recognized.
The trial court and the court of ap
peals for the Fourth circuit refused to
accept her view. and affirmed the de-
cision of the collector. and today's
action by the supreme court has the
effect of leaving the decision in
force.
