NO NICHE IN SENATE FOR ROOSEVELT BUST.

Whether the bust of President Roosevelt shall
be set up along with the buss of others that have
been vice presidents of the United States in the
inches about the galleries of the senate chamber
or shall be forced to stand out in the onliness of
the main corridor, is interesting question that
will soon have to be disposed Of
Advices from New York are that the clay
model of the bust to be executed in marble has
been finished by James Earl Fisher the sculptor.
The cutting of the bust will be finished this
winter The bust is intended to represent Mr..
Roosevelt as one of the vice presidents. The
theory is that each vice president shall be honored
by having his bust in marble in the senate cham
ber where it is possible to look down in solemn
snnerintendence over the proceedings. Whom Mr..

patients in the sanitarium at present
The hospital corps consists OF about
100 surgeons and attendants, and
then there are a large number Of
officers and their families to make up
quite q large settlement.
"Much building has been done

TAX ON FRENCH TITLES
GOES INTO EEE'ECI

Paris, Jan. 1O.-The law fixing a
series of taxes on the transmission
of titles of nobility in the direct line
comes into force today. Where the
titles are those of the first empire,
and have not been recognized or con-
firmed under subsequent govern
ments, the scale of taxation is very
moderate, ranging from 200 francs
(40) in the case of a duke, down to
20 francs in the case of chevalier.
If the titles have been confirmed or
renewed since 1914, the rates are
much higher, the ducal tax being
5000 francs ($600) and the others
in proportion, with the exception OF
that of the chevalier, which remains
constant at the modest figure already
quoted 1t is estimated that these
new taxes will bring into the treasury
from $4,000 to 100000 annually.
