OPPOSE
BILL TO PROTECT
INHERITANCE TAX
Small Depositors Iniuriously Af-
fected by Inability to With
draw Certain Joint Accounts.

Strong opposition is said to be de-
veloping against Senator Ackerman's
bill providing that banks and safe de-
post companies shall prevent a with
drawal of funds in the name of de-
ceased depositors until the authorities
are notified of the death and a sufficient
sum be retained to cover the inheri-
tance tax. The New Jersey Bankers
Association la taken the matter up
and through its secretary. William r..
Field, has declared against the bill
According to Mr.. Field the measure.
IL enacted into law, will work a great
hardship on the small depositor, by
tieing up mis- money so that his heirs
cannot get at it for some time after
his death, a. the bill practically for
bids the opening of joint accounts In
savings banks. Most of these accounts
are opened by small depositors who
add the name of the person to whom
they wish the money to go in case of
their death. thus avoiding long legal
proceedings in closing up the estate.
Should the Alderman bill pass the heirs
of these depositors Will be forced to all
the tedious II expensive formalities
now required by the New York banks.
The bill not only effects resident, but
nonresident depositors as we'll.

SUGAR TRUST MAY APPEAL.

NEW YORK, April 5.-There is much
speculation in customs and legal circles
regarding the final outcome of the re-
liquidated duties the American Sugar
Refining Company has paid or is about
to pay the government as a result of
the latter's recent suit against the trust
for frauds in the entry of imported
sugars. The alleged frauds run back to
the time of the enactment of the Ding
ley tariff in 1897. According to reports
today the company will pay the addi-
tional duties demanded by Collector
Loeb, amounting possibly to 81, $50, 900,
and then file an appeal against the
legality of the collectors order with
the board of appraisers.
