SMITH ESTATE WINS.
state Cannot Collect Additional Tax on
Reappraisal.

Surrogate Thomas denied yesterday
an application by the State Comptroller
for a reappraisal OF the estate OF George
Smith. who left property worth $46 200. 900
here and in England. half OF which went
to his nephew, the late James Henry
Smith. The State contended that an
arrangement between James Henry Smith
and his coexecutor, Sir George Cooper,
had deprived the State Of tax OF 600, 900
on 81 .26S, 4Sl deducted as commissions cf
executors. The State Comptroller said
that the executors never took out an
cillary letters here and that the amount
could not be deducted from the estate
as commissions. The Surrogate held
that there was no error OF law in the
proceeding and that circumstances 0f
the affidavit Of James Henry Smith, upon
which the deduction was made, -are not
such as TO raise any suspicion Of bad
faith The Surrogate said that the
ground upon which the deduction was
made must have been the prospective
grant OF anciiiary letters. upon which

FOREIGN birth Of
STRIKERS IS EXCUSE
FOR ILL TREATMENT
Says Director.

Philadelphia, Feb. 11.-Director
Clay, whose ancestors were in this
country before Christopher Column
bus, the Italian, landed here, has
collected statistics showing that the
shirtwaist strikers are not native born,
and, worse yet, came from Russia!
This remarkable discovery by the
still more remarkable Clay threatens
to disturb the s:peace of all godo
Americans residing here in Slumber-
vile. That Russian girls should have
the nerve to demand decent working
conditions in the city where the Dec
laration of Independence was pro-
claimed is something atrocious, and
certainly. worthy of the attention. of
the director of public safety.
According to Clay's figures, there
were 285 arrests made in the Shirt
waist strike up to January 7. Since
that time it is estimated at least 125,
persons have been taken into Gus
tody. Of the total 285, only 10 were
natfveborn Americans. The others
came from various countries in west
ern and southwestern Europe, 238 Of
them coming from Russia.
The: police state that 80 of the 285
were discharged, IA were fined and
Ga committed; 100 of the total num-
Der have been in this country less
than five years, and some only two
months.
Now that Director Clay has taken
all this trouble to prove to the re-
spectacle and patriotic Philadel-
phians that the girl strikers whom
the police club and mistreat, are only
damned foreigners" it was suggest
ed by some of the strike sympathizers
that Clay gather statistics as to the
nationality OF the. shirtwaist bosses
and the scabs.
