WIFE OF ". BIRKINSHAW
Son of Legal Wife and Administrator
of Estate Seeks Court Route
20 Gain Possession,

Willis Birkinshaw, son by the legal wife
and administrator of the estate of VIII
liam Birzinshaw who died April -. 1908
is bringing suit in the district court to
Dust Nancy Briggs Birkinshaw. one OF
William Birkinshaws plural wives. from
the possession of property which she
claims to hold under an old deed, said
to have been made by Birkinshsw years
before his death.
The property in question is at 52f1z, $50
and 33T East Fifth South street. There
are two houses on il, each renting at Sl5
a month.
Birkinshaw asks that she be required to
surrender the premises and that title be
quoted in the estate He also wants her
restrained from further collecting rents
and that she be required to account for
back rents of S70975.
Mrs. Birkinshaw lives at 52ne East Fifth
South street and rents the other two
places. Not long ago she filed a suit
against Willis BirkiUshaw to restrain him
from interfering with her rights in the
property and TO recover $50 rent which
she SAYS he illegally collected. The re-
straining order was granted some time
20 by Judge g ". Morse, but was later
modified and Birkinshaw was allowed to
collect enough rents to pay for the in
stallatiOn of sewer connections. Other
profits from the property are held by the
court pending the termination Of the suits

NO WATER, NO FOOD, NO
WORDS FOR 48 HOURS
Case of Jack Sales Still Puzzles Ply
sicians-Is He Shamming or
Is He Insane?

No more puzzling case has ever come
under the consideration Of the county
physicians than that Of Jack Sales, now
confined in the county Jail on a charge
of grand larceny. For forty-eight hours
he has not spoken a word. eaten q mouth
ful of food nor taken a sip of water. Ply
sically he seems normal, and the only eX-
PLANTATION of his peculiar actions is that
he is mentally deranged OF is shamming
insanity.
Sales was examined yesterday after
noon by DR.. T. G. Odell. but during the
examination the prisoner arose from his
cot and, without seeming physical eff
fort. threw the physician cut of the cell,
Notwithstanding the fact that the pris-
oner is scarcely more than boy and OF
small stature.
Though it has been the opinion of the
authorities that Sales has been sham
ming. no one seems positive now that
such is the case. as the torture Of going
without water for more than twenty-fOuT
hours would seemingly be sufficient to
break down the fOrttude of the strongest
man. Should he refuse food and drink
today he will be forced to take nOurish-
ment artificially in order that his vitality
may not be lowered

Washington, April 21.-Senator Cum
Minis today introduced his amendment
.l the Pdyle-Aldrich tariff bill. pro-
tuing for q graduated income tax,
which. he believes, would produce sac
aH0l8 revenue AIr Cummins pointed
au. that il differs in some important
PARTICULARS from either the law of 1894
a- the amendment offered by Senator
Bailey. Ii eXempts incomes below So
600. and authorizes the deduction Of
that amount from every dutiable in
come. The rate provided for is as fol-
lows.
Upon incomes not exceeding $4,000. >
per cent; not exceeding 500. 900, 21e per
cent not exceeding $4,000, per cent:
not exceeding $4,000, 3ls per cent; not
exceeding $4,000, 4 per cent: not eX-
ceediug 800, 600, per cent: upon all in
comes exceeding 100000, 6 per cent.
Mr.. CUmmins believes that the grad
uated tax so provided for viii produce
@ somewhat less revenue than a fat tax
of 8 per cent.
The duty is to be levied only upon
Individual incomes. He treats corpora
tons as mere instrumentalities for in
dividual profit, aud the chief reason for
not including corporations is that to
put tax upon the incomes Of corpora
lions is to tax those who are stockhold-
ers Of the corporations. but whose total
incomes would not reach $1,000 precisely
as though they had dUtiable incomes.
This would be the result with a fiat
rate. but he points out that when the
graduated tax is employed il is obvious
that the individual income can alone
be considered; otherwise" he ssays,
the mar with the lowest dutiable in
come would. in SO far as it is derived
from corporation. Oftentimes bear the
maximum rate levied upon the highest
income.
The chief object OF a graduated in

No Contract Let.

The people of Plymouth were very
much irritated by the failure to
receive the mail from the outside last
Sunday. That day was the 1st of
August, and the new line from
Martell to Plymouth was to have
stated on that date. The postal de-
partment had notified the old mail
contractor between CarbnndaIe and
Plymouth that that route would be
discontinued, being displaced by the
new arrangement. Also, the Amador
Central railroad was notified of a
certain increase of the contract price,
about doub BILE we believe if that com
pany would extend the services from
Amador City through to PIym mouth.
Their old contract called for MartelI
to Amadors City, only Believing
that the offer would be accepted, 3,
the cancellation of the old route
was made. But the Amador Central
was not anxious to extend the
service: but the other mail line was
dropped in accordance with instruc-
tions from Washington. So Plymouth
and Drytown were out in the cold.
Messages were sent to Washington to
inform the authorities of the sitn-
alton, and instructions were sent
back to get some one to resume on
the old basis until other arrange
ments could be made. Things are
running as heretofore again, tenn
porarily.
