INHERITANCE LAW TO STAND
Iowa Will Not Change Statute Be-
cause Of Foreign Treaties.
INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
General Bussey f. Looking Up
Records Of Cavalry Troop that
Saved Iowa from Inva-
sion.
From a staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, July 1s.-Special. )-Iowa
will not change its law regarding in
heritances, at least for the present. In the
collection Of the 10 per cent additional on
inheritances going to foreign countries the
state has run up against some OF the
treaties between the United states and
foreign countries. but Iowa is standing pa
on it's inheritance tax.
Some months ago the State department
at Washington took up with Governor
Cummins the question and claimed that
Iowa's law was a violation OF the treaties
in that It charged 20 per cent more on In
hsritances when the money went to aliens
than when It went to citizens Of the United
States. Governor Cummins studied the
matter somewhat and decided that this
was the case and was about to recommend
a modification of the law. This was In
the closing lays Of his administration.
When Governor Garst came into office
the matter was presented to him. A fur
Their investigation was made. quincy Willis
deputy state treasurer, dug into the matter
and the result has been that tine state has
come to the conclusion that it's inheritance
tax Law does not conflict with all the
treaties and 1t will continue to charge the
10 cents extra except where 1t does con.
fliot with q treaty. Germany and France
are about the only cases where there is q
conflict.
The conflict was claimed on the ground
that a discrimination vas made in favoi
of the American citizen as against tht
citizen of the country with which the treaty
lie made. The claim of Iowa is hat the
tax is only on Estates of citizens Of lows
and the tax is on the estate and hence thu
state can collect more from that which
goes to a foreign country. In the case o.
Germany the law is more specifically
worded and in tina case the tax cannot b,
collected.

History of Third Cavalry.

General Cyrus Bussey, one time assistant
secretary of the interior, is in Des Moines
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac
Hills. He is very anxious to get some
facts regarding the organization OF the
Third Iowa cavalry in the soldiers roster
which is being prepared by the adjutant
generals office. There is a discrepancy
between the claims CO General Bussey and
the department, which Colonel Crossley,
editor of the roster, is trying to adjust and
harmonic.
General Bussey vas the organizer of the
regiment. During the early days of the
civil war it became evident that there
would be attempted an invasion of Iowa
soil by the confederates from Missouri.
General Bussey was then military aide to
Governor Kirkwood. He went to st. Louis
and tried to get General Fremont to give
him 1000 stands of arms and 50, 1000 rounds
Of ammunition. General Fremont said he
didn't have the arms and couldn't see what
good the ammunition would do without the
guns. Bussey insisted and finally got the
ammunition. On his way back he found
at Keokuk 1000 stands of arms on their
way to Granville M. Dodge at Council
Bluffs. Though Without a spark of au-
thority to do so, he took the arms and
armed his cavalry and participated in the
skirmish during which the confederates
from the Missouri side Of the Des Moines
river fired over into Iowa soil. They were
prevented from crossing and the invasion
was frustrated. 1t was the only time con-
federate bullets struck Iowa soil.
The soldiers roster, when it appears, will
disclose the fact that Iowa troops helped
General Phil Sheridan to fame. He was
sent out with 300 or 400 Iowa men and
about the same number OF Michigan men to
~reconnoiter. He soon found advancing a
troop of 1900 confederates. Instead of re-
treating to camp as ordered he gave battle
and whipped the oonfederates. and then re-
turned and reported his battle. 1t was thus
that Iowa troops gave him his first start
toward fame.

AMATEUR FLYER IS INJURED
Alexander Williams Seriously Hurt
in Curtiss Aeroplane.
MACHINE IS BADLY WRECKED
Operator Has Case of Stage Fright
and Loses Control of It Soon
After IT Starts sharply
Upward.

NEW YORK, July ia frightened anna
teur. sitting like a wooden man went up at
dawn today In Glenn Curtiss' aeroplane,
which lowered a moment In midair and
then crashed to earth. The beautiful craft
in which Curtiss made his flight yester-
day was badly wrecked. When the wouldbe
aviator was lifted from the twisted frame,
he was delirious, his left arm broken, his
left thumb dislocated and his body badly
bruised. His injuries, however, are not
serious.
The accident occurred on Hampstead
plain, Mineola, where Curtiss has been
giving demonstrations for the New York
Aeronautic socity, to which he recently
sold his aeroplane for $500. It was a
member of the society, Alexander Will
liams, ~ years old, who was injured.
While Williams had driven many an
automobile, is familiar with gas engines
and is somewhat of a machlnist, he seemed
to lose complete control of himself as the
aeroplane scared upward and when 1t had
attained a height Of thirty feet the craft
careened sharply to the right, swooped
toward the earth and striking on end
turned completely over, then rolled on
its back. Williams remained pinned In
his seat until lifted out. AS a physician
bent over him, williams in his delinum,
muttered that some one had collided with
him in the air.
Two Successful Flights.
Witnesses Of the accident say II was
merely a case Of a man attempting some
thing which taxes the nerves, the body
and the brain simultaneously and that
Williams simply had stage fright. His at
tempted flight followed a successful one
made by Edward Foster Willard Of New
York City, also a member of the Aeronau-
tic society, who remained in the air for
% seconds, making a short flight at an
average height of twenty feet. Curtiss
then took the machine and made a beauti-
full flight back to the starting point. cut
ting several sharp turns and ascending at
one time for more than 100 feet, then
shooting swiftly downward until he was
only thirty feet above the earth. The wit
nesses OF this bird-like drop. among them
A. M. Herring, himself an aeroplanist OF
note, say that 1t was extremely spec.
tacular.
