 Certain States.

Judge Studley of the probate court has received from Tax Commissioner Corbin q circular letter in regard to the law relating to the tax on the transfers of stocks and bonds in Con- necticut corporations in other states by administrators of estates of deceased persons formerly residents of those stateI.
 Several other states have had laws of this character and Connecticut es- tates have been made to pay taxes on the transfers of stock held by Con- necticut estates in the corporations of other states. The last general assem- bly, passed law providing that there would be ID transfers of securities of Connecticut corpora ;ions held in other states unless a tax was paid on the tIansfers
 This law, however, does not apply to holdings in those states which do not have similar laws. Th,s reciprocal pro- vision is extended to the states of Ala bama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, In- diana, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina and the territories of Alaska, Arizona, District of Columbia, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Porto Rico
 "A considerable penalty is attached to 'any violation of this law, Where no- tification of a transfer is not made the estate offending must put up three times the amount of the tax.

PATHETIC SCENE IN COMMON PLEAS COURT
Father, Mother and Sister of Sadie Jacobosky Created Sensation Yesterday
 Afternoon.
PROBATE COURT NOTES
Sent Over Business Contract United States Court to
 Have Large Docket.

In the common pleas court yesterday afternoon a pathetic scene was enacted in which relatives of Sadie Jacobsky, the judge and jury joined in. The case was an appeal of Sadie from com mitment to the Industrial School for Girls and was one of the most heart rending that has been seen in the court in some time. Sadie, eleven years old, had been committed to the school because her parents allowed her to run wild about town. The parents on be- half of their daughter appealed and the case came up before Judge Wolfe yesterday afternoon.
 After the evidence had been all en- tered Judge Wolfe stated that he felt 1t incumbent upon him to reconmit the girl to the school because her parents showed no care for her. The decision of the judge started an outburst and father, mother and sisters of the girl burst into tears which for a time dis turbed the court. The judge himself was visibly affected and stated that if her sister, who was seventeen and was reported as soon to be married was In a position to care for Sadie he would gladly put her in her care. Until then he had nothing to do but to commit her. The sister it was stated had done everything to protect the younger one, but owing to her environments had failed

CALL BIC GERMAN MEETING
WILL BE HELD SUNDAY
Idea is Said to be to Centralize the Societies for Future
 Interests.

A circular calling for an outdoor mass meeting of the Germans of this city has been issued by a commit,-e representing the several German or ganizations of New Haven. The pam phlet calling for a mass meeting of the Germans short time before election has made many believe that by een- trelizing the Germans of New Haven it would be of significance to the po- litical parties of the coming election, but this is strenuously denied by the members of the committee. The ob- ject of the circular is to call together the Germans of New Haven to advance their social and educational interests. A ''volks-fest' is to take place at the old scheutzen park in State street on Sunday, September p, beginning at 10 o'clock in the morning, and every Ger man organization in the city has been invited. Another object of this meet ing, it is stated, is to centralize the Germans in order to be well united for the German days" which will be given throughout the state in the flu ture
 Paul Zimmerman, a prominent Ger man, will make an address in the af- ternoon and the Harugari Aricn, Caecllia and Ar5eiter Singing societies will give selections.
 An effort is being made to start ! free German school, which, depending on the support given to it. is expecting to hold daily sessions, but if daily ses- sions cannot be held they will be held on Saturdays Evening segsions will be given for adults. The proceeds of the fest will go toward the malnte- nance of a school, the committee hay, ing q small sum now in the fund,
 The attendance at the German day in New Haven two years ago warrants the committee to issue an appeal to the Germans of the city to gather ut tho park next Sunday and voice their opinions for the welfare and for the good of their future interests.
 Sunday has been selected as the day because it appears that it is the only day the Germans are at leisure to gather en masse. The committee who have worked zealously for the welfare of tho local Germans is composed oi Paul Zimmerman presidcnt Edward Anderson, secretary; William F. R1dcn, treasurer; Theodore Grueney and E2ward zwingman,

 There are about 45 German societies in New Haven and an immense gath ering Is looked for next Sunday. Game and other amusements will take place
 The oldest German organization in New Haven and also in the state is the New Haveh Turn verein, wh!ch has recently purchased property In State street, where modern gymna- sium and clubhouse will be built In the near future This society has beer in existence since 1852.

Why should we not let. nay, compel. the Filipinos to carry it themselves?
 You say the American people would be glad to see the burden honorably and wisely dropped if it can be-" Yes, indeed they would And is there any difficulty in dropping it wisely and honorably? There may have been a time when it was necessary to carry it, but that day has gone by. The day nas come when the principal nations of the earth should unite in declaring and securing the independence of that archipelago anu it's permanent neu- tralizatlon, as they have secured the independence and naturalization of Switzerland, Denmark Belgium and China.
 Would there be any danger of in- creasing tumult and disorder if the lfnte States, England, France, Ger many, Spain, Russia and Japan should proclaim the Independence of the Phil Iipplnos and permit them to govern { themselves? Would not the turbu- | lsace now existing in those islands costing us millions of money and thou soHds of lives annually, come to a speedy end? Could our secretary of state fin g n'ore fertile field for his wits thar ths?
