PUTS BLAME
 ON DEMOCRATS
Governor of Kentucky Says They
 Wouldn't Pass County Unit Bill.

Frankfort. Ky. July 14.-In reply 10 the demand of the Southern Methodist Conference of Eastern Kentucky that he call an extra session of the Leg;sla- ture to pass county unit bill, and extend temperance legislation in the state, Gov Wilson has written a long letter to F. E. Evans of Lexing- ton, who drafted the original demand, explaining his position.
 Gov Wilson says that the failure of the Legislature to pass county unit bill was due to the Democratic major ity in the House and Senate, aided by three Republicans, whom he does not name, and he declares he did all he could at that time to secure legisla- ton. He does not think, however, that he can afford to burden the people with extra payments for an extra ses- sion, especially where there is no cer- tainty that such a bill would not be opposed.
 The governor thinks that he may later be obliged to call special ses- sion to provide funds for the state, and if he does this he will likely include the county unit matter.

the hearing before the House judiciary
committee, of which William p. Mar

coIupanied him.

believes in restrictions on vivisection,
the bill is too radical.

TRENTON, Fec. 24.-The Supreml
Court this afternoon rendered an i'm
portant tax decision in the case of tlll
city of Trenton against the STANDARD
Fire Insurance Company, also of Tren|
ton. The opinion reads:
/. In assessing a fire insurance ON.
pany upon its personal property a de
duction IA allowed for exempt ans
ncr-taXable securities TO an amount ex
feeding the amount of its ~reinsurane
reserve. Held that. in absence of evi
dence TO the contrary, it must be as
sumed that the reinsurance reserve /
not taxable, is invested in the sectril
ties deducted, and that no further de
ductions should be allowed.
.. Stocks of corporations In othel
States + not taxable in this state
under the tax act of 1903, when the cor.
poration has within twelve months pals
taxes on it's property in its own State.
The result of the opinion. it is Uni.
derstood, will be to greatly decrease
the tax ratables throughout the StuteE
and particularly so in the larger cities
where stocks of this kind have been
assessed.

Pellegrino C~allandarillo, of II Park

n asked Assistant City Clerk Martin
G. Bross, jr.. if his (Callandarillo's)
wife had recently been married to any
other man. as she and the star boarder,
Angelo Furino, had left the Park ave
home several days ago.
a search Of the records showed that
the husbands suspicious were well
founded. There is a record of a mar
riage performed by Justice of the Peace
Michael Murano, of this city, February
20 last, the contracting parties being a
Furino and a Marie Riola. the latter
being the maiden name of Mrs. Callan-
darillo, or Mrs. Furino. as she possibly
thinks herself now. The witnesses are
Enrico Tarello and Gianetto Pelle-
srino. The husband refused to say
whether he knew them or not.
He said hat some time ago Furino,
who had been his friend in italy, went
to board at his house. Shortly after
wards he noticed his wife was paying
particular attention to the boarder,
serving linn first at table, holding his
coat for him and brushing his clothes.
The husband say he finally decided
the thing had gone far enough, and
informed the star boarder there were
other places where he would be more
welcome.
The man disappeared, he says, and
so did his wife, and he left the office
of the city Clerk with a philosophical
shrug Of his shoulders. saying thai he
would possibly meet Furino some time.
