made. verdict is likely to be reach
ed before another recess, or in the
early afternoon.
Many of the most prominent Cit
zens of the city appeared to testify.
among them being Mayor Oakley =.
Curtis.
From the action of the convention
in refusing to take a recess to con-
slider Encouragement of the schedule,
it would appear that the case of Sher
if Tolman Of Knox county will be the
next called, despite protests of his
counsel, William r. Pattangall AMI
Benedict F. Maher. The sheriff prob
ably will not be present as ne is UNI
der quarantine for smallpox and has
been threatened with arrest should he
attempt to break that quarantine with
in Il days.
One of the features of the Wednes-
day proceedings was the opening Of
the case for Sheriff Moulton by Will
liam H. Gulliver of Portland. Mr.. Gull
liver traced the history of the prohi-
bition law in Maine, which he said had
been enforced with varying degrees CT
completeness. He sketched the his
tory of the Sturgis law and declared
Sheriff Moulton was obliged to en-
force the law with discretion, just as
the judges and county attorney were
obliged to use discretion. At one
time Jail sentences in liquor cases
were mandatory, he said. The legis-
lature afterwards allowed judges To
use discretion in sending violators oi
the prohibitory law to jail or making
them pay fines.
He believed Sheriff Moalton was d
practical man, and that he faced
practical situation. He had to take
as he found them rather
than as he wished they were.

INHERITANCE TAX.
Senator Jones Would Take SO Per
Cent on $15,O0O0oo or More.

Washington, April S.-An inherit
ance tax that would run as high as
so per cent. on fortunes over SIS, 000,-
600 was proposed in a bill introduced
i'll the Senate, today, by Senator Jones
of Washington. The measure would
impose an inheritance tax on Ill es-
tates except where the bequest is u
members of the immediate family in
which cases there would be an ex-
emption of $4,000 and reduced tax
rate. No constitutional amendment
would be necessary to impose an in
heritance tax.

BALEOU CASE CLOSED.
Probably Cannot Be Taken Up Again
BY the Legislators.

Rumors To the effect that the ease
Of Sheriff Ballou was to be fe-opened
are believed to be without substantial
basis.
The only way, apparent, in which this
might have been done would have been
by the House and Senate voting to re-
consider the vote whereby decision was
reached to present the address to the
Governor. Such move to be effec-
tive, must have been done before an
entire legislative day had passed, or on
Monday.

COUNTY LISTERS HEAR
ABOUT TAX LAWS
Washington County Officials Aattended
Conference in Montpelier Yesterday.

Washington county listers assembled
at the Montpelier city hall yesterday for
their annual conference with the state
tax commissioner. The commissioner,
Charles A. Plumley of Northtield, spoke
largely in regard to the changes made by
the amendments to the general tax laws
at the last session of the legislature, es-
pecially in respect to the effect of the
new laws on the taking and making out
of inventories.
Mr.. Plumley said the responsibility of
the collection of taxes rests largely with
the listers, who are inadequately paid
for disagreeable task, but one of ut
most Importance to the interests of the
state. He then took up the discussion of
various sections and amendments 10 the
laws.
As Mr.. Plumley was obliged to leave
early, A. j. Eaton of Royalton, town
representative, addressed the conference
further as to how inventories are to be
made out, signed and sworn to. Mr..
Eaton took up with the listers the fill
ing out of inventories, emphasizing the
Importance of doing this properly and
carefully as one not legally executed is
not colleetable. The lister is TO ask the
tax payer to make out the list, have him
sign it and have him take an oath as to
its correctness.
The lister then makes the appraisals
on the spot or at his discretion later
from notes taken in his passbook, using
his own judgment largely in the matter.
The only tax payers who are not re-
D1li IN oh
who pay poll tax only or those who
own real estate but no personal property.
He went over the different sections OF
the inventory explaining each and how
ii should be made out to comply with |
the law, insisting especially on accuracy
as the prime requisite.
