he took during the period 18S8-91.
He obtained a practical knowledge of
steel making by spending his sum

BADEN BADEN, Germany, Feb
25.-Admiral Won Diederichs himself
admits he informed the British naval
commander in Manila bay at the time
OF the Spanish American war that
he would shoot any American officer
who attempted to board German
warship ito take inquiry and estab-
lisf her Identity" in carrying out
the orders of Admiral Dewey.
This admission vas made today in
the course of 8 urther narrative of
events given to the Associated Press.
The controversy between Admiral
Dewey and the German admiral arose
over the visiting between the vessels
of the various powers, which, accord
ing to Admiral Diederichs, was quite
promiscuous. He admitted there was
a certain justice in Admiral Dewey >
complaint as to the German ships
being constantly on the move, al
though this was necessary and in no
way meant to be unfriendly.
The bulk of the German squadron
was about to be withd lwn, said the
German commander, when the con-
Dflict arose over the right of vista
tion. and he then decided to retain
his whole force there.
Blames Admiral Dewey.
Admiral Won Diderichs blamed Ad-
miral Dewey for the clash and inti-
mated that it would never have
arisen if the American commander
had merely protested officially about
two trivial Incidents" instead of fir
ing shots in order TO stop two Ger
man pinnaces. One of them was pass
ing the American vessels and was
held up because her flag was not
showing plainly and there was ap-
preaching the Olympia at night with
message and was not promptly
identified.
The German admiral felt that Ad-
miral Dewey's action was decidedly
unfriendly. He sent his flag by Gen
eral Won Hintze to make q formal

WILL INTRODUCE
BILL FOR DIRECT
INHERITANCE TAX
Fielder Supports Five Per Cent.
Levy on All Estates
Above $4,000.


TRENT0N.s Feb. 25.--Rumors of an
ifmpending dircct4s sHheritancc tax. to
add to the funds in the State treas
ury, which have been current for the
past few days. were realized today.
Majority Leader Joseph NJ Branegan
announced that he will introduce a
bill in the Assembly to impose o five
per cent. direct Inheritance tax on
all estates amounting to more than
5,000 The bill is an administration
bill. and was prepared in the Gov
ernor's office. 1t has the enthusiastic
support of Leader Branegan. 1t is
said that the amounts such q tax Will
raise annually will reach the hand
some total of s750,00o.
The bill makes its appearance first
in the Assembly There is no choice
about that, because 1t is tax bill,
and all bills to impose taxes must
have their origin in the lower House.
In view of the comptroller's report
issued at the opening of the present
session. which forecasts a possible
deficit at the end of the present year
of 100000 the State treasury stands
in need of more funds. Economy in
making appropriations is preached by
Comptroller Edward |. Edwards. Gov
ernor Fielder has also declared him.
self opposed pto all extra vagrant leg
islation as well as many bills which
the legislators contend are necessary,
1t is feared that the utmost economy
will not meet the situation.
Reublican critics of the State gov
ernment are taking advantage of the
situation. They allege reckless ex-
penditure and charge that Democratic
rule for three years has depleted the
treasury.
The Republican minority in the
House has taken no stand on the in
heritance tax bill as yet. Its prepara-
ton for introduction today caught
the Republican assemblymen by sur
prise. Minority Leader Richards and
his supporters are expected to oppose
the bill for the purpose of embarrass-
ing the government.

Paterson First National
Will Join Federal Reserve

PATERSON, Jan. 9.-Announce-
ment was made here yesterday that
the First National Bank, of this city,
will become a member bank of the
Federal Reserve Association. Action
was taken by the directors subject to
the ratification of the stockholders
who will meet next Tuesday for the
purpose of electing officers.
President Edward T. Bell stated
last evening that the effect of becom-
ing a member of this association
would require a long. detailed state
ment, but that, in brief, the directors
have concluded this step would prove
highly beneficial to the institution
and that it was wise to uphold this
administration measure. He stated
that it is now fifty years since the
First National Bank was organized
under the currency act, and while it
will continue as a national bank, he
said, 1t will, of course, conform to
the changes. and the directors look
hopefully into the future and think
that affiliating with this association
will be beneficial, especially if a large
predominating reserve bank is located
in New York city. say one which, in
his opinion, should have capital of
about fifty million dollars.
