TAXATION IN new ENGLAND
COMMISSIONERS SMITH REPoRTa
ON STATE SYSTEMS.
Various Methods Dealing With Cor.

A unique and interesting report. dsal,us
with state taxation of manufacturing :.

by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner az
corporations That part Of the report
transmitted to President Taft concerns
particularly the SIX New England states.
1t Is expected that additional parts, deal
ing with other groups of states, will be
published later.
A careful investigation into the tax
sioner Smith, and the results Of the in
quiry are presented in concise form. The
report presents in a popular way a digest
of the tax laws and the methods of their
administration. While in q sense it is .
legal publication. 1t was prepared rather
for the general public than for lawyers.
1t contains much of information particu.
larly interesting and important to legis-
lators and all other students OF taxation
Commissioner Smith points out that.

same basis. there is a wide diversity

chusetts alone succeeds appreciably in ef.
forts to tax specially the manufacturing
and mercantile corporations
Railroads. 1t is noted. are among the
largest taxpayers. Public service corpo-
rations are most often brought under new
systems of taxation.
A review of the six systems of taxation
indicates to Commissioner Smith that the
entire subject-matter is still in an unfiu-
ished condition and will need yet further
careful thought and consideration.

FILTRATION COMPANY SUES.
Court Of Appeals Decides Case In
volving $1,000 in Districts Favor.

volving $1,000 in Districts Favor.
The case of the New York Continental
Jewell Filtration Company against the
District Of Columbia was today decided
by the Court of Appeals in favor of the
District, in an opinion by Justice Van
Orsdel, affirming the District Supreme
Courts ruling.
The case involved about $1,000, and
grew out Of the changes in sewers and
water mains made necessary by the con-
struction Of the railroad tunnel at New
Jersey avenue and D street southeast.
The work was done under the acts OF
Congress providing for the elimination OF
grade crossings, new station, ETC., and
under a permit issued by the Commission
ers to the railroad company. Lowering
the grade Of the railroad necessitated
changing the grade of a sewer and two
.oad. The plaintiff. which did the work
Il excavating under contract with the
railroad company. asked the District to
make the necessary changes in the sewer
and water mains, and made deposits of
money to cover the expense.
After the work was done by the Dis
trict plaintiff contended it should be
charged for that part only of the ex-
pense incurred within the limits Of the
right of way of the railroad. while the
Districts contention. sustained by the
,urt, is that the expense Of the work
necessary outside as well as within the
right of way should be borne and was
properly chargeable to the plaintiff.
Corporation Counsel Thomas and his as
sistant, William Henry White, repre-
sented the District and Attorney James
H. Hayden appeared for the plaintiff.

VACCINE VIRUS CONTAMINATED
CAUSE OF EPIDEMIC OF FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Calves Used in Propagation o

in Eastern States.

Calves used in the propagation OF
smaIlnox vaccine virus which has been
contaminated with the virus of FOOT ana
month disease in cattle were the source
of the recent epidemic Of that disease IN
New York, Pennsylvania, MarSiaho anu
Michigan, according to the conclusions
arrived at as the result of an lnVestisa
ton by DR.. John r. Mohler, cniei oi INC
pathological division of the bureau ol
animal industry Of the Department OIL
agriculture, and DIR. M. ]. Rosenau' dl-
rector OF the hygenic laboratory Oh 'he

The contaminated strain OF vaccine
originally came from foreign country
OF Japanese Origin.
An investigation into the outbreaks Oh
foot and mouth disease in New Engiano
in 1908 indicates( it is declared, tnat
they were probably due to contaminated
vaccine virus of Japanese origin.
After an examination it is stated that
there is now upon the market no vaccine
contaminated with the virus Of foot and
mouth disease. Regulations have been
formulated with a view to preventing
hereafter the propagation OF contami-
mated virus.
The disease affects man only second
arily and casually. according to Drs.
transmission of it to man through vac

sidered doubtful, in view of the tests
made. whether it is possible to produce

Case Of Richard Jennings Continued
Until Thursday.

Three cases filed for preliminary hear
ing in the Police Court today were con-
tinued at the instance Of counsel because
Of a desire to investigate the charges be-
fore arraignment.
The case Of Richard Jennings, accused
of arson, and arrested several days ago

Investigation by Experts.

In the investigation conducted by Drs.
Mohler and Rosenau animals were used
which had been vaccinated and were.
therefore, immune to vaccinia or cowpox,
so that in case the infection of foot and
mouth disease were present in the vac
cine under suspicion the LESSONS of that
disease would not be suppressed or OBJ
scured by those Of vaccinia.
BY this method and by means OF intra-
venous inoculation they were able to
detect the communicating infection when
it might not otherwise have been dis
covered. Three separate series Of expert
ments were made.
1t required the combined efforts of the
federal and state aupthorities to stamp
out the disease, which involved an ex-
penditure of $3OO,0O0 by the federal gov
ernment alone The quarantine on the
last of the infected territory was re-
moved April "a.

SUCCESS FOR HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM IN NEW YORK USED AT
FIRE THIS MORNING.
Develops a New Danger, Imperiling
the Lives Of Several Fight
ers Of Flames.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 1.-THE high-pres
sure water system had another severe
test at an early hour this morning, wher
fire was discovered in the six-story fac
tory building, All Broadway, which ex
tends to 153 Spring street. The system
is credited with keeping the damag,
to building and contents down to $50.
600, whereas, under the old system, ex
perts say. the loss would have reach
ed at least 100000, and that many ad
joining buildings would have gone. In
cidentally, the system developed a new
peril for firemen. Several were nearl,
killed by it at this fire. and though they
escaped death, the incident shows tha
the system must be used with grea
care.
The men whose lives were imperileG
were on scaling ladders on the front Of
the building, when three high pressure
streams were siamesed to a water tower
The firemen holding the nozzle were whip
ped about until the hose broke free from
them. Then it began to snake A
stream of water struck the top of the
building and went through 1t as though
it were paper. Bricks and pieces OF
scantling began falling on the firemer
on the ladder. Every man was hit. The
Dig hose TOOK another squirt and came
down closer to the men scrambling down
the ladders. and then half dozen fire.
men caught it.
"In the Air." Chief Directs.
'In the air." yelled Chief Croker, who
had taken charge of the forces from the
beginning.
The firemen aimed the water toward the
heavens and it shot up higher than the
tallest buildings. When the men were
safe on the street Chief Croker ordered
the firemen to adjoining roofs and to the
elevated structure.
The fire was then fought from three
sides and from the roofs of adjoining
buildings. The high pressure streams shot
holes in the brick walls and ripped the
building from cellar to roof. But the fire
would not down. The cellars OF adjoining
houses were soon filled with water.
How the fire started is unknown. NJ. x
Lang, treasurer of the Weimer Company
the tenant of the building. said there was
not an explosive in the building and thai
the strictest orders against smoking in
the factory were in effect. Mr.. Lang esti
mated the damage to his stock at $lO0.OO(
and the damage to the building at $4,000
The additional $4,000 damage was done
by water to stock In cellars of Other

BOUND WEST
TO ATTEND LAW-MAKING BODY
OF CHURCH AT DENVER.
121st Annual Convention - Plan to
Hold Triennial Session Among
Questions for Discussion.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 17.-PreS-
byterian commissioners from Philadelphia
and vicinity to the 121st annual session
Of the law-making body of the Presby-
terian Church at Denver. left here today
in a special train for the west. The
party is headed by Rev. DR.. William
Henry Roberts. former moderator Of the
general assembly and now the stated
clerk.
Among the important questions that will
come up for consideration will be plan
to hold triennial instead of annual ses-
sions. The Presbytery of West Jersey has
sent up an overture asking for q meet
ing every three years. and advocates of
this plan state that 1t would represent
q saving Of 100000 to the Presbyterian
Church.
DR.. Roberts does not favor triennial
meetings. He says the plan would be a
failure, both as to the letter and the
spirit Of Presbyterian government; that a
triennial assembly means tire loss of stim-
ulus for all church work for three years.
and, finally, that the Presbyterian Church
does not have board or house Of bish.
ops to attend to the administration be-
tween national assemblies.
Comparison Of Costs.
DR.. Roberts compares the cost Of a
Presbyterian general assembly. which he
places at $4,000. to the $4,000 which it's
board Of bishops cost the Methodist Epis-
copal Church last year.
A reduction Of the number OF commits
sioners to the assembly will be considered.
Since the absorption of the Cumberland
church the governing body has become
unwieldy, and many believe that better
results will ensue II there are fewer men
to make the legislation.
A commission will ask for 100000 for
a uniform budget for benevolent and mis-
sion boards.
The local delegates to Denver are now
on their way to that city. The list in
cludes Rev. DR.. George Bailey, pastor
of the Western Presbyterian Church. who
left late last night; E. Southard Parker.
John B. Bloss and Rev. T. Davis Ricf-
ards. pastor of the Presbyterian Church
at Germantown. Md. who left last week.
These delegates were chosen to repre-
sent the presbytery of Washington city
and vicinity at meeting of that organi-
zation held in the Sixth Presbyterian
Church in April.

temptation to see the team In &C.
ton against the Gonzaga lads, and

who hope to see the league pennant

Buck Corners and Ostdick, were in
the game. Corners Is out with a
lacerated hand, while Ostdick gave
way to Stevens. McAdams pitched
the first five innings and was all
to the good, while Gregg finished
Che game for the tribe.
The Indians won by a score or
q to l and 1t was in the opening
Inning that the four runs were Sc
cured. Skeels, the Gonzaga pitcher,
kept the Indians guessing part of
the time and famed several of the
good sticks.s. The Catholic boys
6elded well and cut off a number
of runs by accurate throwing and
fast fielding. Burnett made good
with the bunch by home run,
which was driven to the far corner
of the lot Stevens caught an ex-
celelnt game and his throwing to
bases was neat.
