Emma c. Ferris, against the State OF
California to quiet title to certain
property upon which the State is try.
ing to put lien to collect an inherit
ance tax from their mother, Mrs.
Emma G. Spreckels.
The property in question is the San

was organized on July 81, 1909, with
capital stock of 100000, divided
into $4,000 shares, valued at 500

to determine whether this property is
subject to an inheritance tax, says
that Mrs. Spreckels made an absolute

Paragould, Oct 18.-Pol'ce court records show that total of $500 in fines have been assessed against lo- cal offenders since the first of Oc- tober. Until recently these fines were paid in depreciated city scrip which could be bought for 6Os and G5 cents on the dollar, but since the city has borrowed funds and is now operating on cash basis, the fines are paid in cash. The city's indebted ness does not exceed 5000, and 1t Is believed the increased revenues and the savings made by paying cash for salaries and materials will result Tn wiping out the indebtedness within 12 months.

 At Santiago, when the Rough Riders went up San Juan Hill, they furnished a splendid target to the enemy hidden in the block houses above them. The movements of every man as he ad- vanced could be distinctly followed against the field of brilliant, tropical green. Those urging the introduction of the olive-drab uniform declare that if the american troops had not been clad in tan their losses would have been thirty per cent lighter.
 This also held true during the Philippine insurrection. True, the humble native was not armed with the finer implements of modern warfare, but he, nevertheless, made heavy ex- ecution against the United States troops. A little of this fighting con- vlnced the authorities of the War de- partment that the olive drab uniform was worth trying. It has been found to be altogether satisfactory.
 One officer of the Marine Corps in discussing the change, recently said:
 "It has been shown time and time again that the marine in their work of patrolling countries like Nicaragua, are required to enter a brisk engage ment and thrash the trouble-makers quickly and effectively. The charge on Barranca Hill is good example of the work which the marines must do. They cannot delay because delay prolongs condition of turmoil where one good, quick victory will demolish effectively the opposition
 Knowing that the marines must constantly face this situation, hu- manitarian precaution, if nothing else, demands tha change in the uniform be made. The greenish uniform is the most satisfactory where force of men is sent up the side of an in- trenched hill to dislodge an enemy
 "A tan uniform always will stand out conspicuously-not as much. it is true, as the old-fashioned army blue, but sufficiently to add materially to the danger of the troops. The olive green is the most satisfactory hue that the officer of this country have been able to devise."
