Texas. and laying his resignation on Vice
President Sherman's desk. AT the urgent
request of Gov. Colquitt. however. the
senator withdrew hts resignation the

DID NOT VIOLATE CODE.
German Cruiser Had Permission to
Hold TORPEDO Practice.

The German cruiser Bremen did not
violate the code Of international courtesy
by holding torpedo practice recently in
Buzzards bay. according to unofficial ad-
vices reaching Washington. The war
ship was given authority by the United
States government last May to conduct
maneuyers in Chesapeake bay. and, 1t
seems. the commander of the vessel be-
lieved that it was unnecessary to ask for
a renewal Of the permit for the same
ship in so short space Of time. 1t had
been intended to hold the torpedo exer-
cises several weeks ago in a bay in st.
lawrence gulf, it is said. but as the
Bremen was hurriedly ordered to Haiti
during the revolution she was unable to
execute her program of maneuvers in
Canadian waters. The State Department
is entirely satisfied with the explanation
made and the incident 10 closed.

May Take Exception to Sum
Granted Mrs. Hutchins.
TRUSTEE DANTE NOTIFIED
Court Cannot Pass on Findings In
side Fifteen Days.
ATTORNEYS PLEA ovERRULED
Justice Gould Refuses to Set Time
for Hearing Till Expiration
of Exception Period.

That Walter S. Hutchins and Lee NJ
Hutchins, sons of Stilson Hutchins, will
contest the finding of Auditor Dent of
the District Supreme Court that Mrs
Rose Keeling Hutchins should receive
an allowance from the funds of the
Stilson Hutchns estate increased from
$l,ooo to $1,000 a month. was Indicated
today, when Trustee Dante received
formal notification from them that he
must make no payment out of the
funds mot authorized by law" in pain
of being held personally responsible
for any increased payments.
This action apparently blocks Mrs.
Hutchins' effort to have the increased
allowance Immediately available, since
it is likely that Attorneys Brandenburg
& Brandenburg will at once prepare
exceptions to Auditor Dents finding.
Mrs. Hutchins will have to wait sew
eral days. at least. for the increased
monthly allowance over which there has
been legal fencing before Judge Gould.
The Stilson Hutchins case is a regular
equity proceeding, and will not be dif-
ferentiated from similar actions, accord
ing to the opinion of Judge Gould today.
The report Of Auditor Dent recommends
an increase Of from $1,000 to $500
month for Mrs. Hutchins, but Judge
Gould refused today to act on the rec
ommendation until the fifteen days have
expired, in which time exceptions to the
findings of the auditor may be filed.
Court Might Be Embarrassed.
John C. Cuttings. attorney for Mrs.
Hutchins, urged that Mrs. Hutchins
needed the money, and that because OF
this exigency the case should be consid-
cred as not included in the ordinary rule,
and that the court has authority to act.
He claimed that the reference to the au-
ditor was merely advisory to the court
and was not for findings Of fact. as are
comprehended in the ordinary reference.
Justice Gould. in declining to curtail the
right of the parties to file exceptions,
stated that it looked like the court might
be embarrassed in making any order in
the matter because Stilson Hutchins was
not served with process, and is not prop
erly before the court.
Mr. Cuttings attempted to have the
court set a time for a hearing in the
view of possible exceptions, but the court
declined. Justice Gould remarked he
could not tell whether exceptions would
be taken and told counsel to wait until
the expiration of the time for exception
allowed by the rules of court before ask
ing for definite time for hearing.

Address by Herbert K. Smith
at Richmond Conference.
SYSTEMS IN THE STATES
Tendency to Assess Gross Receipts
of Corporations.
TALKS OF DIVISION OF BURDEN
Saws District of Columbia Has Best
Example of Old General
Property Tax.

RICHMOND, Va, September Com
missioner Of Corporations Herbert Knox
Smith, speaking before the International
Tax Association conference here today
on Estate Systems Of Corporate Taxa
tion." declared that it was his impression
that when Americans legislated on taxa
ton In the various states they thought
less Of theory, of equitable division OF
burden, and more of purely material con-
siderations, of the revenue to be raised,
than in most other subject matters OF
legislation. Mr.. Smith said that he had
been guilty of exactly such conduct when
a member of the Connecticut legislature.
He conceded, however, that this condi-
ton was changing through states APP
plying expert knowledge to taxation. by
means of trained tax commissioners and
commissions
Reports of States Reviewed.
Mr.. Smith reviewed briefly the reports
Of the seventeen states which the bureau
Of corporations had investigated and
showed how far certain types Of cor
porate taxation had been adopted, how
certain theories had been applied, and
what the results had been.
The most noticeable line of specializa-
ton, declared Mr.. Smith. is the now
quite common method Of taxing certain
public service corporations not on prop
erty, but on gross receipts. Out of the
seventeen states already studied by the
bureau Of corporations. he said, about
ten have tax on gross receipts. Just
why public service corporations should
have been SO almost uniformly selected
as the object of the gross receipts tax
was not entirely clear to him. He de-
clared that one might venture the guess
that it was because these corporations
usually enjoy some monOpoliStic priv
lege granted by the state, and that 1t
was therefore, felt that the state was
entitled to share in the profits therefrom.
Results Ascertained.
Discussing the practical results In states
already investigated, Mr. Smith COM
mended states as follows:
For high degree of classification and
advanced theory, Massachusetts; admin
istrative effectiveness and Capitalization,
Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Ohio and
Michigan; separation of state revenues
New Jersey and Connecticut; the most
effective and complete application of the
general property tax theory, Michigan
and Wisconsin,; best example of the old
general property tax, Rhode Island and
the District OF Columbia conplexity OF
classification and high differentiation OF
subject matter, New York.

Beulah Escapes Questioning.

When court adjourned last night Beulah
Binford, the so-called girl in the case,
alleged by the prosecution TO have been
the motive for the murder by Beattie
of his young wife. still was in Jail. with
out having uttered a single word Of testi-
mony. Fearing that she would scrupu-
lousy avoid injuring the case of her for
mer companion at any cost, the common
wealth did not put her on the stand.
I'VE have proved that she was the mo-
tive for the crime said Prosecutor Wen
denburg tonight without hearing her
testimony, as our witnesses and the ad-
missions of the prisoner himself have
told the jury enough"
Among the last witnesses put on by
the state in rebuttal was DR.. Loving.
coroner of Chesterfield county.
Doctor, the prisoner, Henry Clay
Beattie, jr., said on the stand that on
your lawn on the Thursday following the
murder he did not talk with Detective
Scherer about a letter 10 Beulah Binford
and therefore did not deny having writ
ten one" explained the commonwealth
attorney.
Messrs. Carter and Smith jumped to
their feet in vigorous protest. Judge Wat
son ruled that the question which the
prosecutor had tried to frame was i'm
proper.

Excluded by the Court.

Mr.. Wendenburg read to the coroner
the testimony of Henry Beattie in regard
to placing his wifes body in the auto
mobile seat beside him with her face In
his lap suggesting that the victims back
bone might have been broken. The law
yer went on to review Henry's descrip-
ton of how he had held his left arm
around the waist of his wife's body in
order 10 bring it home.
Couldn't dead body in such a posi-
ton have fallen out of the automobile?'
interrogated Mr.. Wendenburg
The court refused to allow the answer,
which started another argument between
the lawyers for both sides. Judge Watson
was immovable, and the question was
stricken out.
Mrs. Paul Beattte took the stand as a
witness for the state.
DO YOU remember Paul being brought
home In an automobile at any time during
the week preceding the murder?"
Yes: about $50 o'clock Thursday

declared on the witness stand that the

it in the evening.
DIR. H. p. Mann described the condi-

Unwilling to Change Date.

The wedding was long ago set for the
latter part of August, and the bride pre-
pared her rousseau for the GROWING
event. Important diplomatic business sud
denly called DR.. Porras to Washington.
With a brides superstition regarding al
teration in the day set for her. wedding.
his fiancee was unwilling to be married
before his departure or delay it until his
return.
Unable to come to the United States
for the ceremony, the bride proposed the
ancient but unusual custom of marriage
by proxy. The papers were duly pre-
pared and signed by the contracting par
ties before the departure of the diplomat
for his Washington post. The regularity
of the proceedings is recognized through
out Latin-America. A number oil promi-
nent Panamans are dwelling in various
parts of Central America after marrying
under identical circumstances.

Witness Clinches Testimony.

4. L. Crowder, a bartender, one of the
witnesses, was asked by the defense why
he so particularly remembered Paul's
movements on the disputed Sunday MORN
ing.
Well, I tell all one reason" Crowder
responded in a slow drawl. I'VE all was
a-settin' on a log down there by the ce-
ment house, and a bug comes along and
Stings Paul on the neck. takes my
chawin tobacco out of my mouth and
plasters il on the bug bite and ties it
up with handkerchief. That's how l
come to remember.
The commemorative lawyers, after a
long wrangle with Beatties lawyers, put
in rebuttal evidence supporting the prose-
cution'S original claim that it was not
possible that the blood of the murdered
woman could have soaked through the
bottom of the car to form the great pool
on the road.
Henry Beattie had testified. also, that
after his wife had been shot down by his
side he had placed her body on the seat
beside him and, holding ii with his lett
arm, had driven his machine hOmeWard
at a fifty-mile rate with his unaided right
hand. Automobile experts Wendenburg
pat on this all swore that Beattie testi-
lied to the impossible. No driver could
have taken the car over such road
Midlothian turnpike in the night with
only one hand on the wheel.
