CLASH BETWEEN COUNSEL.
Resumption of Hearings in Railroad Tax
Appeal Cases Yesterday.

WOodsville. NJ H., Feb. 23.The hear
ING before the referees in the railroad
tax appeal here yesterday WAS character
lied by a further clash OF counsel over
the admission of evidence Counsel for
the state on cross examination drew
testimony from witness regarding the
eonsolds tion in sales Of real estate in
Pittsburg and Clarksville The witness
on several occasions named the buyer
and seller, all being persons other than
himself
On redirect examination The witness
stated that both the buyers and sellers
had told him the selling price Com.
sci for the state moved to have all the
evidence excluded. Whereupon the coun-
sci for the railroad charged the opposing
counsel with trying to have let in evi-
dence when favorable to the states case
and excluded when unfaroable, main
tanning that ii must have been apparent
to everyone that the evidence on cross
examination was not that of a party
to any Of the transactions, in many
cases the parties having been specifically
named.
After consultation the referees ruled
that the evidence had been introduced
by mistake and must be excluded. M.
merous exceptions were noted for the
railroad with the intimations that the
questions would be transferred to the
supreme court for decision.
This series Of hearings will continue
for two or three weeks, and will be,
ii Il expected, the most important up 70
this time, II IS understood that the
railroad has made thorough investiga-
tion into the conditions surrounding the
assessment OF taxes in large number
Of towns in Coos and Grafton counties,
covering property worth well up into
the millions Of dollars. These investiga-
tions have been carried on during the
past year by timber and real estate ex-
perts, by whom the railroad expects to
prove the condition in Pittsburg and
Clarksville is more widespread than it Is
generally believed.
