CHURCH AND VETS
ATTACK ARIZONA DRY LAW

Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 16.-Suits to
have the Arizona state prohibition
law declared invalid were filed In
the United States district court, both
here and in Tuscon.
Injunctions we're asked by the
Catholic church and by druggists
and wholesale and retail liquor deal
ers to prevent the dry" amendment
going into effect on January 1.
The action in the interest of the
Catholic church was filed at Tuscon
in the name of the Rev. Thomas
Connolly, pastor of All Saints church
of that city. The main contention is
that the drastic provisions Of the
dry amendment to the constitution
prohibit the use of wine in the sac
rament of the mass, and thereby in
fringes upon the religious liberties
guaranteed by the constitution of
the United States.

PROU7Y WOULD TAX
NHERITANCES in D. c.
Representative Claims People Come
Here to Dodge As
sessments.
OFFERS BILL IN THE HOUSE

A graduated tax on inheritances in the
District Is provided in bill introduced
by Representative Prouty yesterday as
one step in his campaign against the
people of the District who are supposed
to be lodging taxes
''The inheritance tax Is universally ac-
cepted In nearly every country OF the
world and State OF the union" said
Judge Prouty, land 1t has become a
recognized and just method OF taxing
accumulated wealth. Many wealthy
people actually living in other cities have
declared Washington as their residence
because there is no such tax here.
II am striving to put the people here
on an equal footing with those living In
the other States. II Is not fair that the
people OF the District should be exempted
from things the other States must bear.
The Committee Of One Hundred will have
some difficulty in using its poor mans
argument against this BILL
As provided in Representative Prouty's
bill. the tax ranges from l per cent on
all inheritances less than $4,000; per
cent on inheritances between S25s00o and
$50, 900; 3 per cent on inheritances be-
tween $4,000 and 100000: Z per cent on
inheritances between 100000 and $500 900,
and per cent on all inheritances above
that amount. The tax thus described
applies only to lineal descendants, and
on various collateral descendants when
an inheritance is received, from two to
five times these amounts would be levied.
There is an exemption clause in favor
of widows and minor children.

Representative Powder. Of illinois.
Thinks Purchase Of c. H. sd.
Line Unsafe.
WILL QUIZ DANIEL WILLARD

Testimony affecting the proposed raise
in rates for several railroads In the
East In expected by Representative Fow-
Ter, of Illinois. from President Daniel
Willard. Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. at a hearing to be held by the
Interstate Commerce Commission this
month on the acquisition of Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton by the Baltimore
and Ohio. The hearing has been called
at the request of Mr.. Fowler, who AYERS
that the deal will saddle the Baltimore
and Ohio with a tremendous burden Of
debt, without compromising advantages.
In a letter to the commission. Mr.. Fow-
Ter said. In effect. that the Baltimore
and Ohio, under Mr.. Willard. had pur-
chased the Cincinnati, Hamilton and
Dayton stock at price to be hxed IN
1876 which he fears may be untustiraoiy
generous. The Baltimore and Ohio. he
added, also would assume approximately
500 100000 Of Indebtedness of the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. at ~
per cent. thus adding an annual interest
charge of s.5oo.ooo The purchase, he
believes, is inimical to the best interests
of the Baltimore and Ohio.
Furthermore, Mr.. Fowler contends. IN
leading the fight for a raise In rates
the Baltimore and Chic contemplates
using this added income for the pay
ment OF the lntercSt oh tHc ~. -
indebtedness, and this he does not think
fair to the shippers and the ultimate
consumers of the country. The Balti-
more and Ohio traverses Mr.. Fowler
district, the Twenty-fourth Illinois, and
he claims to be acting on behalf OF his
constituency.
Although the hearing Ii based only on
a transaction of the Baltimore and Ohio.
the decision will have a direct bearing
on the rates Of other roads in the same
territory. especially the Pennsylvania,
which completes with, and In places
parallels, the Baltimore and Ohio line.
The commission hardly could deny the
Baltimore and Ohio permission to raise
rates and yet permit other roads to do
SO, while to allow the Baltimore and
Ohio to raise rates to meet the Cincin-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton. interest
charges. would appear an injustice to
shippers on other lines whose rates had
been advanced to the same extent, be-
cause advanced by the Baltimore and
Ohio.
Mr.. Fowler has been invited to be
present at the hearing, and will be
primed with questions to submit to
