peared without his friends noticing

but were unable to recover the body.
Richard Unger, eighteen years old,
of Jersey City, went to Bayonne M

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Must Refund Thousands.

Holding that the wording of the til
tie of the collateral inheritance tax
law amendment of 1906 does not
make 1t applicable to the imposition
of taxes on ~legacies, the Court of Err
rors and Appeals at Trenton, by a
unanimous vote, set aside a tax OF
$4,000, levied by George Russell, a
former Surrogate of Essex County,
upon 1850 shares of Standard Oil
stock, part of the estate of Mrs. Mar
tina T. Fiske Collard, who died in
Cairo, Egypt, in 1908. Mrs. Collard
was a resident of Rhode Island at the
time of her death, and the bequest OF
the stock of the oil company, it being
a New Jersey corporation, was as
sessed by the Surrogate in supposed
compliance with the act. The decis-
ion will have an important effect on
the finances of the State, as it will
probably be followed by a demand on
the State to refund a large part of the
tax it collected under the act OF 1906.
This sum was estimated by the State
Comptroller at between 100000 and
$500, 600.

him that If the New York Board OF
Regents insisted on abrogating the re-

concerned. The following resolution
has been passed by the New Jersey
Board of Medical Examiners: Re
solved, That on and after November
Q, 1910, further Endorsement of the

Bournemouth, England.-The Hon.
Charles S. Rolls, millionaire, distin-
guished man, daring sportsman and
aviator and hero of the recent Chan
mel flight from Dover to France and
return, was killed here by a fall while
flying with his Wright biplane. The
machine suddenly buckled up while
100 feet from the ground, was over
turned and the young aviator was
dashed to the earth. Rolls was the
third sol of Lord L~langattock and
noted in engineering and science.
The first flying tournament of the
year in England was brought to a
tragic close by the dramatic death of
Rolls, who was the most daring and
popular of British aviators. In the
presence of a great company of spec
~tators, a majority of whom were
ladies and children, and many per-
sonal friends of the young aviator,
the Wright biplane on which he was
flying plunged suddenly with terrific
speed from a height of 100 feet. 1t
struck the ground close to the crowd
ed grand stand, smashed into a
tangled mass, and before the doctors
and their assistants could reach the
spot Rolls was dead.
The event in which Rolls was COM
peting was for a prize for the aviator
alighting nearest a given mark. The
goal was directly in front of the
grand stand where the spectators
were massed. He had risen to a
good height, then shut off his motor
and was gliding in a broad circle
toward the mark. Without warning
the tail piece of the biplane snapped
off. The machine gave a sudden
lurch and the framework crumpled
up in the air. When it struck the
ground it was smashed to splinters.
The doctors found that Rolls had
sustained a fractured skull. The
wreck of the machine, and twisted
stays surrounded the body so that
there was difficulty in ex~tricating him.
Great excitement followed the ia
tality, many women being on the
verge of Mysteries, while the body of
Rolls was lifted from the wreckage
of the machine and borne away. The
officials of the aviation meet, how
ever, mingled with the throng and
soc restored quiet.
Immediately after the result of
Rolls accident was known the COM
mittee- announced that flying would
be suspended.
Captain Rolls was flying in his
F~rench-built Wright biplane, in which
he flew from Dover across the Eng
lish Channel and back on June 2 last.
He was the first to accomplish this
feat,

WELLESLEY GIRLS DROWNED.
Chums in College Go Down, One Trying
to Save the Other.

Wellesley, Mass.-Florence Jenni-

chums in Wellesley College, were
drowned in Lake Waban, Miss Jenni-

effort to save her friend. Both were
residents of Wellesley and were nine
teen years old. They entered college
a year ago.
The two girls, in company with
several others, were bathing, when
Miss Palmer got beyond her depth.
Her cries for help reused Miss Jenni-
son, who was in the shallow water
near shore. Without the slightest
hesitation, although she could swim
but little, she went to her chum's
aid. AS Miss Palmer came to the
surface Miss Jennison made a futile
effort to drag her toward shore and
a moment later the two went down
together. The bodies were recovered.

only defended himself, he declared.

down and did not again come to the
surface. The body was recovered.
