new YORK STATE WINS
Franchise Tax Aggregating $41,-
100000 Declared Valid.
Court Decides Assessments Are to Be
Equalized With Local Levy---Net
Earnings Determined by Facts.

Albany, N. Thousands of cases
pending all over the State for the
collection of unpaid special franchise
taxes, aggregating about $41,O00,-
900, including about 27,00O,000 in
New York City, will be brought to a
speedy determination as result of a
decision by the Court of Appeals, in
which the Court lays down rules for
the guidance of the State Board of
Tax Commissioners in assessing spe-
cial franchise tax valuations. The
methods to be followed by the State
Board in these matters have been the
subject of litigation for years.
The decision was handed down in
the case of the Jamaica Bay Water
Company against the State Board of
Tax Commissioners, in which two
important questions were raised. One
was whether assessments of special
franchises of corporations, which in
clude the tangible property of the
corporations in the streets and high
ways and the right to use these
streets and highways, are to be equal
lied with local assessments made by
assessing officers in the same locality.
The second question was whether the
courts may properly set aside the
assessment made by the State Board
il it does not correspond to the result
reached by the net earnings rule.
In an opinion by Justice Willard
Bartlett the Court, upon the first
point, holds that the Appellate Di-
vision was right in allowing the spe-
cial franchise to be equalized to cor
respond with the rate of assessment
adopted by the local Assessors. Upon
the second question it holds that no
rule can be laid down by the Courts,
although generally the net earnings
rule will give proper result. The
Court then defines at length the
method by which this net earnings
rule should be applied.
The decision was given In the test
case in which, after Attorney General
Jackson had withdrawn the appeal
taken in behalf of the State, Attor-
ney-General O'Malley interviewed and
succeeded in annulling the stipula-
tion withdrawing the appeal and kav-
ing the case reinstated in the Court
of Appeals.
The Importance of the questions
involved was so great that number
vi CA0 large COIpOIdLlOuS luISINSuGuj
and briefs were filed on behalf of
the Consolidated Gas Company, the
New York Mutual Gas Light Com
pany, the Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company. the Third Avenue
Railroad Company, the New York
Edison Company and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit system.
The Court sustains the contention
of the Attorney General that the
proper rate of return to be allowed
in applying the net earnings rule is
question of fact, although in the
absence of the proof the opinion
holds that the Court may take
judicial notice that six per cent. is
fair return.

SHOOTS his ACTRESS WIFE
w. n. Short Angry at Her Refusal
to Return to Him.
He Then Commits Suicide in WASH
ington ID. CO. station---she
Not Mortally Hurt.

Washington, D. C.-Mrs William
stage as Evelyn Howard, was shot in
the back three times by her husband
as she was leaving carriage at the
Union Station. Short then turned the
revolver on himself and fell at his
wife's feet with a bullet in his right
temple. He died two hours later at
the Casualty Hospital Mrs Short
was not mortally hurt.
The shooting followed a series of
Quarrels between the couple. The
husband was paroled convict from
Sing Sing, where he served five years.
Recently he was employed in New
York City as a travelling salesman.
When Short was sent to prison, his
wife, Obliged to support herself found
employment as chorus girl at the
Hippodrome and with a "Forty-five
Minutes From Broadway" company.
When parole was granted her hus-
band Mrs. Short returned to live with
him. She left him because of his al
legged cruelty and returned to the
stage. She Joined The Motor Girl,
company a few weeks ago, and came
to Washington with that company the
week before.
Short came to Washington and reg
istered at local hotel, where his wife
was staying, as G. H. Reeves, of
Brooklyn, N. Y He endeavored to
persuade his wife to quit the stage
and return to New York City with
him. Mrs. Short persisted that she
had won her right to her own indie
pendence, and again refused.
Accompanied by Miss Maude Cald-
we'll, another member of the COM
pany, she left the hotel for the sta
ton. She vainly tried to eIude her
husband, but the latter followed, and
told her he would plead with her
again to turn from the stage. When
they reached the station Short made
his final entreaty, and when he was
again rebuffed the tragedy ensued
Mrs. Short was formerly Evelyn
Lewis, of Jacksonville, Fla, and mar
ried Short, who is native of Living
ston, Ala, about seven years ago.
They lived in New York City, where
he was employed as bookkeeper in
bank, but soon after their marriage
the man got into the clutches of the
law through alleged misappropriation
of funds.

WHO OWNS TIE AIR?
Pressing Problem That Must Be Settled at Once Whether an
Aviator Has the Right Of Way Over Private Property the
Ownership Of Which in Every Case According to The
Old Roman Law, Extends Upward Indefinitely.

at the Rheims meet an aviator was
fined for reckless driving.
The military airship will necessi-
tate new provisions in international
law to meet the new problems of in
ternational relations which it will
raise. France has now seven air
ships, Germany eleven and Italy five
in course of construction. Given a
feet of Zeppelins arriving unan-
nounced above British port, will
the act constitute a cause of war?
If the aeroplane develops the power
to carry explosives for dropping on
an enemys fleet, will the practice be
permitted under the rules of war?
The interesting fact in connection
with the suggested regulation of air
travel is that tits already made nee
essary by an Invention only yesterday
in it's infancy which threatens a re-
vision of the statute books along with
it's revolution of traffic.
In advocating arrangements for
test suit, Mr.. Fox seems to believe
that after the existing legal status of
an aerial trespasser has once been
clearly outlined the law may be SO
modified that the air will be pro-
nounced a public highway. Legisla-
ton of that kind, however, would be
unfortunate if it were not very accur-
ately limited. There is a wide differ
ence between navigation of the sea
and navigation of the air. If trans
atlantic steamship is badly handled
those who are on board her may
suffer, and she may injure an
other craft which is on the same
level. There is practically no chance,
however, that she will harm anybody
or anything directly under her, at the
bottom of the ocean. She can discard
ashes, ballast or any other material
without fear of doing mischief. If such
things are dropped from an airship,
there will always be a possibility of
danger-a danger which is enhanced
by the temperamental characteristics
of those who engage in aerial naviga-
ton for sport.
Editorially the New York Times
says:
will the invasion of the air by
aeroplanes be repealed by suits for
trespass?
1--WE think not. The first success
full human fight made the air high
way-a possibility not contemplated
in the Roman law. Besides, there can
be no effective possession of the upper
air by land owner. Where possess
sion neither is nor has been, there
should be no ownership. At any rate,
this is assumed in Germany and
Switzerland. which have passed stat
utes establishing rules of the aerial
road"
