Y CASE OF SHERMAN ESTATE
Taken Into United States Court on
the Ground that the Assessment
imposed by Revenue Officers Is Too
High.
Publishers Press.l

Washington, Jan. ga petition
has been filed in the United States
supreme court which will be of inter
est to the friends of the late John
Sherman in Ohio. 1t was filed on be-
half of former Congressman Winfield
S. Kerr of Mansfield and Myron M.
Parker of this city, in their capacity
as executors of the late senator's will,
and in the interest of Mary Sherman
McCallum, his adopted daughter.
Mrs. McCallum received from the
estate the sum of $90,044 in cash, and
this legacy was subject to the success
sion or inheritance tax imposed by
the war revenue tax of June 3. 1898.
The revenue officers of the govern
ment levied an assessment OF $6,753.-
80, which Mrs. McCallum claims was
5,740.33 too much.
The cash legacy was taxed at the
rate of $3.50 per 500, the rate provid-
ed in the act for strangers in blood"
to the decedent. Mrs. McCallum and
the executors claim that the rate
should have been 1925 per 500, the
