serious with the lapse Of time, in

to the extent of $343,250 appear to have
very little chance if any at all, to re-

Outside Of the outstanding stock,
there are liabilities Of over 100000 and
the assets have dwindled down to an
estimated valuation of $37.s01.34. What
amount they would bring on forced

With the sum of $343,250 paid into
the treasury for stock and with existing
liabilities Of over 100000, people are
wondering what has become Of the
money. The several reorganizations

REHEAR COLLATERAL TAX CASE.
Supreme Court Rsopsns Adams Estate
Suit From Allamakes.

Special TO Times- Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 10.--The supreme
court III the last session granted one
rehearing and this was because when
the case was decided last year 1t was
by divided court. Now with an odd
number OF justices there can be no
evenly divided court again where the
fun bench sits. This was d state case
involving the collateral tax on the
Adams estate in Allamakee county and
u clever attempt to defeat the law ana
save the tax to the state. The property
consisted OF mortgages on Iowa farms
Just before the death Of Adams, which
occurred in Chicago hospital. the pa
pers were all taken over into Wisconsin
and kept there for some time; then the
claim was made that the debts were
not in the state at the time Of the In
heritance. But the courts held that the
debts We're in Iowa no matter where
the notes and mortgages might be at
that time. The amount involved Is
small, but the state runs up against so
many of the peculiar schemes to effect
defeal of the tax laws that they must
all be fought out

1t is now put up In tablet form

toward the final round in the metropolitan

women on the courts OF the West Side
Tennis Club yesterday afternoon. Meet
Ing the clever fast driving Miss Buda
Stephens, Miss Wagner won In straight
sets. 6-l, rs. Although she won the first
set handly, Miss Wagner had TO play her
best for every point. In the final set Miss
Stephens took a brace and fought harder
than ever, but she lacked that finish TO
her game that might swing the tide In her
favor.
Miss Wagner played beautiful game,
sizzling a fast. hard service over the net
and covering her court nicely. In the
first set she had her opponent running
back and forth, often pulling her over to
the side and passing with deep court
shots. At the net Miss Wagner killed off
many clever return with deft strokes

sci for her opponent. and, playing
strong, steady game, won In straight SETS
10, t-l. In the first set. as the score
would indicate, Mrs. Beard was put to her
best to win. but she managed to pull the
set by cool, accurate stroking and placing
her shots where Miss Cassel had most
trouble In reaching them.
A strong breeze swept out OF the West
blowing across the courts and causing
the players not a little trouble. The
! breeze played some queer pranks with the
lob strokes and often carried the ball far
out of bounds. The courts were not In
especially good condition. as a result OF
