 ued af SIS O0O. .OOO

ued at $75,O0O,OOO
 Chicago. Jan. 24.-The executors of the estate of Marshall Field today filed in the probate court their inventory of the estate.
 In the document which gives a de- tailed account of the personal and real property of the estate the par value of the stocks and bonds are given but no statement is made show ing the present cash value of the se- curities. For this reason 1t is prac- tically impossible to make an accu- rate estimate of the value of the es- tate from the inventory but counsel for the executors place the total value of the property described in the in ventory at $75,000,00
 The value of the estate will not be known until the official report of the appraisers has been completed.

Tax Is leqaI.

Washington, April.-The constitu. tionality of the Louisiana law of 1898, making taxable in that state notes taken by nonresidents on account of business transacted there as brought into question in the case of the Metro p0litan Life Insurance Company Of New York vs. the City of New Or leans, which has been decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in favor of the city, the opin- ion being by Justice Moody. The suit grew out of an effort by the city to ta xthe company for $10,00G worth of credits on business transacted in the state, which was resisted by the company on the ground that the notes were taxable only in New York, where they were held. The attempt of the authorities was characterized as an effort to extend the taxing power of the Louisiana authorities beyond the state and to take property without due process of law. In announcing the courts opinion Justice Moody said that the mere absence of the notes from the place of their origin did not deprive them of a taxable status in Louisiana. The effect was to uphold the state law.

BARILLAS MURDERED
THIRD ATTEMPT TO MURDER MEXICAN GENERAL PROVES
 SUCCESSFUL.

Mexico City, April.-Gen. Manuel
 Barillas,, ex-president of Guatemala. who was assassinated in the city Monday was stabbed three times by his assassin while walking in the Plaza Del Seninario shortly before I o'clock. The ex-president was not riding in a street car, as was reported last night. The assassination of Gen. Barillas was the third attempt which had been amed on his life within three years. The general was aware that there would be attempts made to as- sassinate him and generally took every precaution. He was attacked sudden ly, and before he could pro -ect him. self had received three knife wounds, two of which were mortal. A police detachment stationed near by captur- ed the assassin after a short chase. He was Immediately taken to police headquarters, where he gave his name
 as Jose Estrada, and his age as 20
 years.
 When Estrada was taken to his cell he was still exulting over his deed.
 He claimed that when Barillas was president of Guate'sala he had burn ed his saloon in Ocos. The fact that General Barillas was president Of Guatemala 16 years ago when the as sassin could have been little more than a child in arms, discredits this statement.
 It was stated that an aceomplice of the murderer had been captured and is now being held His name is also Estrada, and he halls from Guate
 mala. PSpers are reported to have been found on his person that will lead to the identification of both men.
 Had the assassination of General
 Barillis been effected one day sooner it would have fallen on the 22d an-
 niversary of his inauguration as presi- dent of Guatemala General Barillas was 61 years of age, a man of great personal magnetism, a skillful soldier
 and capable statesman. He was once possessed of great wealth, but | in recent years met with reverses which resulted practically in wiping out all his fortune. He is survived | by his widow and two daughters, who | reside in Guatemala, and son 26 years old, who is in Mexico. Barillas
 was one of the leading advocates of uniting Central American states under government.
