SUCCESSION TAX ARGUED.
of Astor Heirs Heard By the
Supreme Court.

The appeal Of the heirs Of the late
Mrs. Laura Astor Delano from the inn
position OF the New York succession tax
on the estate of her father, William b.
Astor. in which she had only life inter
est, yesterday was argued before the Su-
preme Court. The comptroller Of the
State OF New York was represented by
David b. Hill, who spoke for The validity
Of the tax, and Lueius II. Beers appeared
for the Delano heirs. who number twen-
ty-seven. including Winthrop Astor Chan
Ter, John Armstrong Chanler, William
Astor Chanler. &c.
The trust estate is valued at nearly
$40, 100000. It was created by deeds made
by William B. Astor in ls44, just prior 10
the marriage OF his daughter 10 Mr.. De
lano, as provision by way of settlement
upon her, and by additional deeds dated
lSlS. 1919. and 1860 Mr.. Astor died in 1915,
and Mrs. Delauo IN 1902, and the comp
troiler in the latter year assessed taxes
not only upon her personal estate, but
also on the trust estate. The heirs con
tend that the death OF Mrs. Deiano
created no reason for imposing the sue
cessiOn taxes on the trust estate, which
was created between 1874 and 1865. and the
law under which the tax was levied,
passed in lS96-97, was not retroactive.

GROWTH OF THE
WASHINGTON HERALD.

4 newspaper that the people read
IS the newspaper that gives results
TO its advertising patrons. The
Washington Herald Is such a news
paper Every morning in the week
II IS a welcome visitor to over one
third Of the homes here and here
about Its circulation Is largely a
home circulation. It Is a home news
paper because II Is clean and whole
some, and fit to go into the home
a paper worth reading all the way
through Its circulation is not a
forced circulation secured through
prize or premium schemes. Il IS
free from all such things People
take It not because Of something that
goes along with it-a set of books or
dishes, for example, or a catch-penny
coupon-but for itself alone, and be-
cause it Is the newspaper they want.
There is quality as well as quantity
in such circulation.
The Washington Herald, OH the
strength Of the success that has
come to It in the short space Of It's
existence. does not claim the earth
and all the fulIness thereof A sane.
sensible newspaper is given 10 no
such vain boasting. But in all mod
esty ii may submit that, in FIVE short
months, 1t has become an established
factor IN Washington journalism
and, in the morning field. gained d
circulation wholly unprecedented
here-a circulation larger by thou
sands than was ever attained by a
morning newspaper at the Capital
Not only this, but in that short time
it has become well known 10 the
country at large, and is to-day the
most widely quoted newspaper
printed at the National Capital.
These are facts that speak volumes
for The Washington Herald. They
tell Of ready appreciation of a news
paper that stands upon its merits.
The Washington merchant who
fails to use The Washington Herald
in making his announcement is
missing an opportunity to put HIM
self in immediate touch with the
Washington homes.

THREATEN STRIKE AT G. P. 0.
Stereotypers and EleotrOtype Mold
ers Are Disseminated.
Charge Public Printer with Attempt
prcntices and LabOrers,

Another big strike that may result in
tie-up of work at the Government
Printing Office is threatened. The stereo-
typers and electrotype molders employed
at the big printery are aggrieved at the
alleged action of the Public Printer in
trying to supplant them with appren-
tices and unsSilied men.
A special meeting OF the two Organiza-
tions was held last night in Davison's
Hail, but no decisive action was taken.
The men have long had the matter under
discussion among themselves, but it was
only recently that they became alarmed
Last nights meeting was called hur-
riedly and considerable difficulty was
experienced in getting a hall in the
emergency.
The meeting was called for the purpose
Of deciding whether or not there would
be q walk-Out tomorrow. After lengthy
discussion, il was decided 10 hold the
matter in allegiance, the cooler heads
prevailing and securing the adoption Of
an attempt AT an amicabie settlement
II is understood a delegation viii ap-
proach the Public Printer to-day and
endeavOr TO obtain his consideration of
the grievances and "a promise that no
more of the men will be supplanted by
apprentices or unskilled labOrers.
The matter was discussed at the regu-
lar meeting in Typographical Temple last
Saturday evening, but no decision was
reached, and, owing TO an unexpected
turn, the special meeting was hurriedly
called 10 vote upon the question OF u
strike.
Officers and members refused 10 dis
cuss the meeting upon its conclusion
They were even loath To admit that they
had held a meeting. What action will
be taken upon their complaint by Public
Printer SullinES is not known
