PROTEST ON INHERITANCE TAX

The New York Tax Reform Association
has filed protest with Governor Hughes
against the bill providing for progressive
Inheritance tax which has passed the
Legislature on the ground that such a
change I'm the fiscal policy of the state
should not be adopted without more de-
liberation and opportunity for criticism
than have been afforded. In a statement
explaining the bill A. g. Pleydei. secre-
tary of the association, said:
'"rhe present bill was not introduced
until April q in the Assembly. just before
the Committee on Rules. which gives no
hearings, took charge of legislation. 1t
passed the Assembly on May 13. Friday, a
day when important legislation is not
usually considered, because many members
are absent. 1t was kept in the Senate Tax
Committee until the day of adjournment
and then rushed through under suspen-
sion OF the rules More opportunity should
have been given for public discussion or
protest.

NIGHT BANK MODIFIED
Won't Be Open After Midnight IN
Future. Saving One Shift.

The Night and Day Bank, which for four
wears has held to it's policy of open TWEEN
ty-four hours every business day" has
finally decided, as the result of obserVa-
tions in the last two years, that conditions
demand a modification of that policy, ami
accordingly has determined TO cut down
the banking hours to sixteen Il day. from
a. m. until midnight, using two shifts OF
clerks instead of three.
The offices of the bank, al Fifth avenue
and 44th street, were opened ;.t s p m on
April 80 1906, the first depositor being the
Brook Club. with $4,000 Within five min
utes of the opening deposits to the amount
of $500, 900 had been received The bank is
in q district in which are many clubs and
many large hotels, from which a big night
business was expected.
ARRANGEMENTS were made cor especial "a
cilities for out-of-town customers, who
could cash at any hour drafts of their hOm9
banks on the Night and Day Bank, or make
deposits of cash. instead of having to do 4
banking business with the hotel desk.
The first president of the Night and Day
Bank was Oakleigh ThUrne, who was
prominently identified with its organization.
j. w Hartman was vice-president, and
among the directors were j. Borden Harri-
man, Robert Bacon, o. II. P. Belmont, the
late E. H. Hartman, the late Charles 7.
Barney, P A. B. Widener, Myron T. Her
rick, of Cleveland; Marsden ]. Perry and
James S. Kuhn, of Pittsburg. After few
months Mr.. Thorne was succeeded In the
presidency by A. D. Bennett, of Port
Huron, Mich.
In January, 1905, Samuel S. Campbell be-
came president, Frederick Phillips vice
president and T. B. Clarke, jr. second vice
president, and Mr.. Thorne and his associ-
ates retired from the directorate. In Janu-
ary of this year it was announced that
]. W. Hartman, J. Borden Hartman and
the estate of e H. Hartman had in
creased their holdings in the institution.
and that Mrs E. II. Hartman would in
future take an active interest in its man
agepent.

.LEH|GH VALLEY IN LINE
To Raise Its Communication and
Trip Ticket Rates on July !.
INCREASES ARE UNIFORM
Change Follows Almost Exactly
Practice Adopted by G. R. R,
N. j., Competing Road.

After July I commuters who use tne
Iehigh Valley Railroad will have to pay
higher fares in accordance with new tar1t'
sheets which were filed yesterday with the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
An arbitrary advance Of 20 cents on Sixty
trip tickets to New York and OF so cents
on fifty-trip tickets was made for all sta
tions except Elizabeth. At that station
the advances are So cents and 75 cents re-
spectively. The increase over present rates
amounts to something more than per
cent for sixty-trip tickets. more than per
cent for fifty-trip tickets and nearly !
per cent for ten-trip tickets
The Lehigh Valley has not as many com
muters as some of the other roads, but the
changes will affect several thousand per-
sons who travel to and from New York
City. The fares between New York and
the principal stations are follows:

Judge Lacombe Appoints July l for,
New Public Auction of Road.

The Metropolitan Street Railway system
will be put up for sale at auction on July
at noon. Judge I.acombe, of the United
States Circuit Court, set that date yester-
day for the disposal of the property under
the DEGREES of foreclosure obtained by the
Guaranty Trust Company and the Morton
Trust Company. IL any attempt should bs
made to evade the upset price of 100000
cash. the price approved by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge
I.acombe said that ii could be frustrated by
the court, which has the power to reject
unsatisfactory bids.
At recent offer under the decree of fore
closure of the Guaranty Trust Compay
there was no bid from the bondholders be-
cause the property then put up at the same
upset price was only part of the Metro
politan system. The Morton Trust Com
pany having obtained a decree of foreclos-
ure on the remainder of the property, makes
II possible for the whole system TO be in
cluded in the offer of July !.

RECEIVERS FOR PHONE co.
Failure of Continental Concern
Leads to the Petition.

Trenton, n. J., May 31-The American
Union Telephone Company went into the
hands of receivers to-day as the result OF
the receivership proceedings instituted last
week against the Continental Telephone
and Telegraph Company, of which the
American Union company is a subsidiary.
Judge Rellstab named Charles West, OF
Philadelphia, and Frank D. Houck. of
Harrisburg, Penn, as receivers. The COM
pany operates lines In Western and North
ern Pennsylvania and in Central New York
In the application for the receivers it is
alleged that the Continental company has
been manipulating the American Union
company to the advantage of the stock
holders of the Continental company and
that it is unable to meet certain Obliga-
tions.
The application was made by the Dean
Electric Company, of E1yria, Ohio.
Judge Rellstab, on the application of two
stockholders-B. NJ. Wolf, OF Boston, and
Max Koehler, of St. Louis-issued an order
on May "a requiring the Continental Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company to show
cause why a receiver should not be ap-
pointed. The rule to show cause was re-
turnable yesterday. but has been adjourned
until next Monday. The complaining share
holders charged mismanagement OF the
company's affairs and misuse of assets by
some of the officers. One of the allegations
OF the petition was that President Howard,
without adequate action by the directors,
made contracts for the acquisition of vari-
Gus telephone properties, among them the

The september issue Of Outing con
tains these unique views on pri@e,
fighting and boxing:
Apropos of recent events AZ heho
Nevada. why has not some one risen
to suggest the propriety OF placing
such affairs hereafter under the SUI
peryision of the department OF com
merce and labor or some similar gov
ernmental body? II Is generally al
mitted that the evil consists not so
much in the contest itself as In the
commercial accessories" and the at
titude and character OF the crowd.
For one thing. 1t is generally be-
lieved-by everyone except the con-
testants-that the purse was 100
large. This is only the old evil OF
charging all traffic will bear. Limit
IL the purses to something common
surate with a fair days pay for skill
ed labor and bring the price OF admis-
sion within reach OF all OF us. IL
necessary. limit the profits OF the pro-
moters to seven per cent, allowing the
surplus 10 accrue to the national or
state government. This might not
exactly refine prize-fighting, but IT
would at least enable us to discover
whether we are incensed over the
brutality OF the fight or are perhaps
lust little envious OF the easy money
of the promoters.

good Is the better organization OF the
sport. At present 1t Is too much az
the mercy of irresponsible individuals
whose greatest merit Is their ability
to pay their bills. Instead OF single
contest arrange a tournament Win
perhaps a qualifying round, then the
usual course of eliminating matches
with semi.finals and finals, conclud-
ing with a grand challenge match.
Thus would the spectators be assured
of a run for their money and the mai
victor would have the satisfaction
of knowing that the cry of fiuke could
have little weight. There are many
other changes that might be suggest
ed. but these few will serve TO point
the way. II none of these things sat
isfy, It might be advisable to return
to the old practice OF the dueling Hello
in which the seconds tried conclusions
after their principles had assuaged
their thirst for blood.
In our heat over the Reno debacle
we are in danger of losing sight OF
the fact that prize-ighting has little
relation 10 boxing pure and simple
and that the latter is one OF the best
forms of indoor exercise as well as an
excellent discipline and a wonderful
chastener OF the naughty spirit

EVIL IN TIPPING SIGNALS

This indignant cutlery against the

an absurdity," said John NJ Ward.

day. There Is nothing criminally
wrong In trying 10 tip OF the Sig

Il is part of the game. II q team
OF players haven't brains enough to

get onto the other teams signs. That

one set OF signals for our own use,
and were compelled to shift more than
once as matter OF protection.

and speaking from experience, not
one batsman in ten can hit pitching
by following tips from fellow player
who hands out signals. Some or the
best hitters In the game today refuse
to be guided by signals conveying the
alleged intentions OF the pitcher. A

assistance. But just imagine man

feet away!
THE catcher gives his signs usually
with the fingers OF the bare hand

The backstop is in half-kneeling

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-The initial
game OF Detroit's last appearance here
was not what the critical would call
a good exhibition of the National
pastime. II was a victory for the
Tigers however. and that went long
way towards making up the scientinc
defects. Detroit s, New York o.
The Highlanders' pitchers blew up
in the ninth inning and allowed the
hustling Tiges to make four runs
which four were sadly needed at that
particular time. Details OF the ninth
inning read like chapter or lsoI.s's
when Detroit went out and collected
All the tallies needed 10 win, and a
few more for the sake OF fattenins

Cobb was the first man up ana

ticnce. Moriarty then filed the bases
with a Texas Lacquer. WARRIOR per-
petrated a balk, and when IT was
called took this as a fine opportunity
for getting out from under and kicked
