Claim Full Payment.

The answer Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury and the treasurer OF the United
States AYERS that Congress authorized
the Court Of Claims to fix the fees to
which the attorneys should be entitled;
that by decree of May %. 1906, the
Court Of Claims allowed the attorneys
an amount equal to Is per cent OF the
principal Of its Judgment in favor of the
Cherokees, amounting to 2Sf7O.
with interest from June IL. 1888, the
payment of which 10 per cent to be made
Immediately upon the appropriation by
Congress-; that by act approved June ~,
1900, Congress appropriated money 10 pay
the principal and interest OF the Judg-
ment, and out Of this fund the attorneys
were then paid their Is per cent OF the
gross sum of $685.. O36. Is. amounting to
SAC. 555.42 as fees: that although the
principal sum was to carry interest until
tinal payment to the Cherokees. which
was deferred until March Is, 1910, when
the rolls of the Cherokees were completed,
yet the Court of Claims, which was en-
powered by Congress to fix the fees, by
DEGREES twice construed It's de-
cree OF May %. 1905. to mean that the
neys as fees in 1906 to be the only COM
pensation to which such attorneys were
entitled.
Were Paid Too Much.
The answer further alleges that through
an error in computation the attorneys
were paid q larger amount than they
were entitled to; that the Court of Claims,
which is the only tribunal vested with
authority to determine the question of
the attorneys fees in the Cherokee cases,
has passed upon the question, and II
cannot be reopened. The answer denies
the right of the Supreme Court OF the
District of Columbia to compel the Sec
rotary of the Treasury and the treasu-
rer OF the United States to make pay

PLAN OF JOHN BARRY RYAN
RECRUITING Is NOW GOING ON

John Barry Ryan's plan for an aero
nautical reserve, which aims to provide
for the country great fleet of airships
in time of war. has received the unquali-
fled approval of the officials of the War
and Navy departments
Mr.. Ryan. who Is the son OF Thomas
F. Ryan. the New York multimillienaire,
and who is also the originator OF the plan
for the aeronautical reserve, spent q part
Of today at the War and Navy Depart
ments discussing the matter. He will
return to New York this evening. He
asked no financial aid from the govern
ment, merely It's approval. and that army
and navy officers should be detailed to
aid in organising the force OF birdmen
Regular plans OF campaign are to be
mapped out, and maneuvers held by the
air fleet after it has been organized.
Birth of the idea.
1.-THE idea of establishing an aeronauti-
cal reserve to aid in time Of war. came
to me in an odd way" said Mr.. Ryan this
morning. Il had taken much interest in
the recent bomb throwing contests. In
which attempts were made to hit. targets
from aeroplanes, and one evening after
the contests had finished for the day,
was sitting alone thinking over the re-
suits. when young fellow whom knew
to be q mechanician employed by Clifford
Harmon pulled me by the arm and said
he wished to speak to me.
DO you know me, Mr.. Ryan? he
asked. told him that knew he was
a mechanician employed by Mr.. Harmon.
But do you know my full name?' he
asked. It's William L. Veltman, and IL
ever there's q war, and there's any bombs
to be dropped on the enemy. I'd like to
do it. That's the reason I want you to
remember my name
He was full Of enthusiasm. 1t set me
thinking and I asked myself why other
volunteers shouldn't have a hand in drop
ping bombs on the enemy. SO the idea
came to me to form an aeronautical re-

MOFFIITS TO TEST
INHERITANCE TAX
Heirs of S2,OOO,00O Estate Will
Garry the Case to United
States Supreme Court

OAKLAND, Oct s29.-The constitll-
tionality of the inheritance tax-law of
California is to be tested in the United
estate of the late James K. Moffitt
and the tax thereon, being the motive
for the carrying to the highest tribu-
nal of the land the question of the
validity of the law that levies a tax
on the estates of deceased persons
before distribution to legatees, de-
visees and heirs may take place.
The supreme court of California has
held. in decision handed down sey
eral months ago, that the Inheritance
tax law of the state was good, and
that the Moffitt estate would have to
pay $48,157.53 into the state treasury.
This decision came as the result of
an appeal from the superior court of
Alameda county, which was also in
favor of the tax. Treasurer M. j.
Kelly brought suit for the recovery of
the amount when the executors of the
Moffitt will refused to pay.
The contention of the Moffitts is
thaa the distributive share of Mrs.
Della Moffitt, the widow, should not
be subjected to the payment of any in
estate as community property, and be-
cause of the fact that it was vested
in her as the result of her marriage,
and not as the result of the provisions
of the will. or of inheritance, the Mof-
fits say. Their contention is that no
state or other law may itnerfere with
these vested rights.
In preparation for the contest before
the supreme court, State Comptroller
Nye has appointed Robert A. Waring
to go TO Washington and represent the
state. Shook and Church, attorneys
for Treasurer Kelly, who fought the
case through the state courts, will
lend their assistance.
Moff1tt was a member of the pioneer
paper firm of Blake, Moffitt & Towne.
His estate was appraised at $2,010,6 63S.
His will, which was drawn by War
ren Olney, left half of the estate to
his widow, and the other half to his
four children, James K. Moffitt Jr.,

fit Lynch and Mrs. Alice Moffitt

WIFF'S Lash GOOD

Oakland Judge Justifies Horse
Whipping of Affinities by
Wronged Women

ALAMEDA, Oct ga wife is al
most justified in horsewhipping a
woman whom she believes is her hus-
bands affinity, according to Police
Judge Mortimer Smith of Oakland, who
sat in the local police court in the case
of Mrs. Alec la Plant and her son, Alec
la Plant Jr., charged with playing a
lash on Mrs. Annie Evans, a neighbor.
In rendering Judgment Judge Smith
said:
Judging from the appearance of the
defendant. I should say that she would
not have gone to the home of Mrs
not believed that Mrs. Evans had
wronged her. though the evidence does
not show that. The fact that the de-
fendant has been arrested and brought
into court, I think, is punishment
enough. The fine imposed will be So
I consider the case of Alec la Plant
Jr. more serious He, it seems, urged
his mother to the deed. And yet. if he
believed his mother to be wronged, it
was only natural that he would do
anything to help her.
The courtroom was filled with spec
tators and complainant and defendants
were accompanied by relatives. No
evidence was offered by the defense in
eXtenuation
Mrs. la Plant and her son were ar
rested month ago on charges of bat
terry. preferred by Mrs. Evans, wife of
Charles Evans, a sea captain. whose
home is at 2301 Clinton avenue. Mrs
la Plant and her son visited the Evans
home one evening about 7:30 o'clock
and when Mrs. Evans appeared at the
door attacked her with a horsewhip.
Mrs. Ia Plant charged Mrs. Evans with
alternating her husbands affections
