Finally they took 1t to Jake, the

First they learned that Bremen had

make up to eighteen kilometers f(about
twelve miles) an hour in speed, and the
Newark enthusiast crowed accordingly.
Then it developed that the Bremen
ers had recently invested in a "dampf-
spritze," or engine, that would run "un-
der its own steam as well as pump
water. going as fast as SO kilometers
(about 20 miles) an hour.
This had the effect Of plucking some

further cast down to learn, in the next
paragraph, that the Bremen depart

Even the dyed-in-the-wool Newarker
had to admit this was running some,

then some. Bremen's got it on Newark

he added, ~grudgingly. Then. with a
happy inspiration:
But I'll bet Newark's ball team can

in the Eastern League. anyhow"
The argument ended.

CANDIDATES ACCEPT
NEW IDEA PLATFORM.
Declarations to Be Presented at
Republican League Meet.

Declarations of candidacy are to be
presented at the meeting of the Re-
publican League for Limited Franchises
and Equal Taxation tomorrow night.
together with a statement from Walter
F. Simpson, vice-chairman of the
league, to the effect that the candidates
have accepted the New Idea platform
as their own. The platform was adopt
ed by the league some time ago. and
before the organization can indorse my
candidate he must publicly state that
he is an advocate of the principles con-
tanned in It.
AS yet no New Idea man has been
found who will run for county chair
man. On the Assembly ticket an effort
is being made to have as many of the
"old guard" who have already served
under the Colbyite banner in Trenton,
try for the office again as can be in
duced to. Mr.. Simpson has declined to
run for the county craftsmanship, but
will be backed for surrogate.

FREE ICE DOES
WORLD OF GOOD
Boys and Girls Gather Cakes
on STAR Tickets for Hard
working Mothers.

1t would be impossible to estimate
just how much good the free ice dis
tributed under the auspices of the
STARS Free Ice and Outing Fund does
do, but 1t is only necessary to be at
one of the distributing stations, where
men,, women and children come for 1t
with all sorts of vessels, to realize that
1t must help a lot. =
Imagine for a moment what these
sweltering days would mean to you If
there was no Ice in the house and you
will gain some conception of how great
is the opportunity afforded by the
STARS practical philanthropy to those
who eve could buy ice. Ice some
times means more than medicine when
there is sickness in the house during
the summer and most of the ice sent
out from the STARS distributing sta
tons goes to such homes.

pointed to attend the games played by
the Eastern League team in that city
and report to ice-Chancellor Steven
son, who granted the rule, whether or
not the favorite American game is a
nuisance when it is played OF Sunday.
They are earnestly hoping one of the

such a house as he was to have gotten
from Williams.
The absence of his diamond stud and
ring also convince the police that finan-
cial troubles forced him to part with
them. Miss Maier told Plainclothes-
men Kaas and Sebold that thee stud
he sold for $40 some weeks, ago, al
though it was worth several times that
amount. The ring. she said, disap-
| peared about the same time. Nittinger
had told her that he caught his finger
in an elevator and the. ring had been
crushed. The watch, which he is sup
posed to have worn when he left Miss
Maier's house on Sunday night mas not
been discovered, but Detectives Tuite
and Horter, of Captain Carroll's force,
who have been assigned to the case,
are searching for 1t and expect to have
1t in their possession In a few hours.
One of the indications that made the
murder theory seem probable was the
fact that although but n bullet en-
tered the head of the lead man and
there were no other marks on his body,
there were two exploded shells in the
cylinder. That, too, Is explained by the
police by the statement hat it is GUS
tomary to carry the gun with the ham
mer resting on one empty she'll to avoid
accidents.
It is also stated that Nittinger was
not in good health, and had not been
for some time.
The family will not accept the theory
of suicide, however. Miss Maier, who
is Frustrated and cannot be seen at
her home at 389 South Nineteenth
street, still asserts that her fiance was
murdered.
Charles Benz and Catherine Benz,
half brother and half sister of the dead
man, when seen by a STAR reporter,
were equally ~disinclined to admit that
1t might haye been a case of suicide.
MY brother was most surely muir
dered," declared Mr.. Benz.
The police say that had he been left
handed, as some of his friends assert,
with his right hand the shot hal ended
his life.
Nephew of ROundsn.an.
In speaking Of the affair Roundsman
Julius Maier, of the Fifth Precinct,
who is an uncle of Nittinger, said:

state INHERITANCE
TAX IS PROPOSED

Representative Barry Wright, OF Floyd
county. has introduced a bin to tax gifts,
legacies. inheritances, requests, devises,
SUGGESTIONS and transfers. The measure is.
In many respects, one Of the most import
ant 10 make it's appearance in the gem
eral assembly of Georgia in several years,
and will attract wide attention at this
time. because OF the recent agitation of
similar bill by the national congress.
IL is stated that thirty-ffve states or
the union now levy an inheritance tax
and Mr.. Wright thinks that Georgia
should also adopt this method Of taxa
ton. He is now working on statistics and
comparative tables TO ascertain. as near
ly as possible. the amount of revenue the
passage Of his bill would net the state.
The Wright bill recognizes five degrees
of relationship, and the tax he proposes
is graduated upon degrees OF relationship
and amount OF inheritance. Husband
wife. lineal issue or ancestor and adopt
ed child, constitute the first degree;
brother. son-in-law and daughter-in-law
form the second degree; the third takes
IN uncle. aunt and cousin; the fourth re-
eognizes great uncle. great aunt. second
cousins; the fifth degree takes in the more
remote relations, strangers, corporations,
etc.
The scale of taxation ranges from moth
ing on inheritances by eleemosynary insti-
tOtiOnS 10 % per cent on nneFllances OF
a million dollars and over by strang-
ers.
Relationships Of the first degree are
allowed an exemption up TO $4,000, and
the maximum tax on this class Of In
heritances is per cent on a million dol
lars and over.
A 5000 exemption is allowed relation
ships of the second degree, and the max
imum tax OF 1-2 per cent on over a
million dollars.
An exemption of $3.50 is allowed re-
lationships Of the third degree, and the
maximum tax is Is per cent on over a
million dollars.
No. exemption Is allowed in cases OF
the fourth and fifth degrees Of relation
ship. The maximum tax on the fourth
degree is four times the primary max
imum: and on the fifth degree FIVE times
the primary maximum, or g per cent on

HOke Smith Back in Law Offices

Ex-Governor Smith will return lmme-
diately to the practice Of law; indeed, he
went Saturday directly from the capitol
TO his old law offices in the Peters build
ing, more recently occupied by his son,
Marion Smith, and j. ]. Hastings, prae-
ticing under the firm name of Smith &
Hastings. 1t is probable that Ronald A.
Ransom the ex-governor's son-in-law,
will also be associated with the new law
firm that is to be organized.
When Ex-Governor Smith was inaug-
urated two years ago as chief magistrate
Of the state, he was the senior member
of the law firm OF Hoke and Marion
Smith and ]. ]. Hastings. Colonel X. l..
Berner became associated with the firm
about that time, but later retired and
moved to Macon, Ga. where he is now
located Since Colonel Berner's retire
ment, Marion Smith and ]. j. Hastings
have been associated. and 1t is under
stood have built up large and lucrative
practice on their own account. Certain
II is they have been very successful in
the state and federal courts, and their
business has grown steadily.
Few lawyers in Georgia enjoyed
larger or more lucrative practice than
did Ex-Governor Smith before he retired
TO assume the duties of the. governors
office, and his return to the practice and
association with his son and Mr.. Hast
ngs will doubtless result in even larger
law business.
while Ex-Governor Smith viii devote
his energies to the law, 1t is not expect
ed that viii turn bis back entirely on
politics or affairs Of state
