Baltimore, May 14-Attomey Gen
Straus viii institute a suit to recover
from the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
S1,77S,74649 as an unpaid balance of
the gross receipts tax that has accu-
mulated since 1896 when the Sgrcen-
tage was increased from one fourth
OF 1 per centum. 1t is now 90 per
cent. He has prepared a formal de-
mand upon the railroad company.
In 1878 the Baltimore & Ohio enter
ed into an agreement with the state
to pay gross receipts tax of one
fourth of ! per cent. The company
operates under a charter from the
legislature of Maryland which ex-
empts it from taxation, but i'm con
senting to pay gross receipts tax
in 1878 it Is claimed to have waived
this exemption privilege Evidently
the company put no such construction
on its act for when the gross receipts
tax was increased in 1896 the railroad
continued to pay at the former rate.

Mr. Baird said he believed a large

coal company paid the interest on the
bonds since 1902 or 1908 Prior TO
that for many years the Lehigh Val

On redirect examination by the de-

NO DISTRESSING INCIDENTS

After the electrocution of Mrs. Mary Farmer in Auburn prison Warden Ben ham wired Governor Hughes that the execution was success.
 "There were no distressing inci- dents," he added.
 No. Only woman put to shameful death. Only a mothers life wrenched from her by a mans decree. Not at all distressing.
 Not distressing that baby boy should be made an orphan by the benef- icent state of New York. Not distres- sing that all womankind should feel the horror and the disgrace that have fallen on this member of their sex. Not dis tress.ng that the world by this execu- tion has gone backward one step. Not distressing that we are all more or less brutalized by the act of the law in Auburn prison.
