Mills died at Nottingham, England. August %
1907. He was a member of the firm OF Mllls

At the time of his death part of his estate

The contention Of the executors in objecting TO

the corporation were owned by a foreigner ana
were in his possession at the time of his DEATH
and consequently were not subject to tax in

NEW TRACK RULE BLOCKS TRAINS.
Change to Right Rail System Delays COM
muters on the New York Central.

Fully hundred trains were stalled in the
electric zone of the New York Central Railroad
yesterday, and thousands of commuters were de-
layed on their way to business. This was due
to the change from the left to the right track
system. The order went into effect on Sunday,
but the traffic light and there little
no delay. Yesterday, however. the engineers.
who had been carefully schooled. found the dif
ference in the signals confusing that there
was almost endless delay in getting the trains
through.
To add to the difficulty block signal at 56th
street refused to work. and one train slowly
past and had to back. Later other signals
fused to work The block began to be felt as
early as o'clock in the morning, and by the
time most of the commuters got to Harlem the
signal system had become defective that il
was necessary to fall back on the old method of
tagging. The greater part of the morning the
trains ran thirty minutes more behind their
schedules 1t was noon before traffic conditions
became normal.
