AN INHERITANCE TAX. .
The inheritance tax provisions OF
the bill is similar TO the New York
state law. 1t provides a tax of per
cent on all inheritance over $500 that
are collateral inheritances or in which
strangers are the litage. In cases of
direct inheritances, the inheTitanceS
prescribed are: On $4,000 to $780,
600 one per cent; on $1OO, 600 to $500, =
600 two per cent, and on those over
$4,000 three per cent.
It is estimated that $4,000, 200 au-
nually will be derived from this tax.
The maximum and minimum pro-
visions of the bill do away with the
necessity of continuing the foreign
trade agreements. The abrogatiOn Of

bill gave out the following statement;
One problem that confronted the
committee was the question OF reve-
nue.. The business of all commercial
nations has been depressed for near
ly two years, and this has affected
our commerce and greatly reduced
our revenues, so that We have a large
deficit. but the revenues under the
present law are improving from
month to month. as business cOndi-
lions are becoming better.
The last normal year Of imports
was the fiscal year ending June 80.
1906; 1907 was an unusually prosper
Gus year, and the revenues from Gus

two millions OF dollars. The commit

Nashville, Tenn, March 17.-With
the jury still out and with no indica-
tons that the twelve men are any
where near an agreement, the opinion
begins to prevail that a mistrial will
be the termination of the famous case
against Colonel d. B. and Robin J.
Cooper and John Sharp for the muir
der OF former Senator Carmack.
At four o'clock Judge Hart ad-
journed court and left for his country
home with the declaration that he
would not return for a verdict during
the night Judge Hart has declared
his intention of holding the jury to-
getheT for a week or two, if neces-
sary, in order to get a verdict The
costs in the case have been enormous.
and it is realized that a second Jury
to try the case could never be Sc
cured in this county

us a verdict before the end of the
week"
Judge Anderson, of the defense, ex-
pected a verdict in thirty minutes or

delay tonight.
