PLAYED on Mountain
(United Press DAY servioe)

San Francisco, May 16.--Fully 49,
600 people were on Mount Tamalpais
today, on their way there or planning
to leave in the morning for tomor-
rows production in the magnificent
natural open-air amphitheatre near
Rock Springs of DR.. Arthur w. Rydors
translation of "Shakuntala." Of those
gathered on the mountain top nearly
1000 will participate in the play it
self. Organization of the troup was
carried out under direction of Mrs.
D. E. F. Eastern, one of the ablest
amateur theatrical managers on the
Pacific Coast. Written in the year 400
A. d., and of events supposed to
have occurred 1,400 years earlier
"Shakuntala" still possesses strong
appeal to heart and mind. 1t deals
with elemental human emotions and
desires. The scenes are laid in the
Himalayan uplands and provide a rare
opportunity, with Tamalpais' maghifi-
cent mountain backing for wonderful
spectacular effects, which hav4 been
made the most of by Garnet Holme,
the producer, and his company of ANA
teurS.

troller Nye, has materially strength
ened the law by inducing the Legis-
lature to pass several amendments.
Controller Chambers deemed the sit
uation serious enough to call the in
heritance tax appraisers together, one
convention being held at Los Angeles
and the other at San Francisco. These
conventions were the first of the kind
ever held in California, if not in the
United States, To the activity of the
appraisers following these meetings is
due IN large part the increase in col
lections. The situation was put be-
fore them by the Controller and in
addition the appraisers were enabled
to confer with one another and profit
by the experience of their fellows.

fact that the people will vote in No
vember next as to abolishing the poll
tax, which also runs over 100000 a
year, The State of California is fac
ing serious financial situation. 1t
is necessary that we see to it that
every dollar justly due the State is
collected. We have been fortunate this
year in increasing the revenue from
the inheritance tax. But there is no
possibility, of course, that it can be
made to cover all actual and prospec-
tive loss of revenue. 1t will do its
share, however, and during the next
fiscal year probably will show anoth,
er gratifying increase"

POLICE ARE SEEKING
CAUCASIAN MILLIONAIRE

Warsaw, May 15.-Police through
cut Russia are searching for Cau-
casan millionaire, M. Shahnazaroff,
who fled from this city after at
tempting to murder beautiful young
girl named Sofia Sec, whom he had
engaged as his private secretary. The
two had rooms in hotel here, and,
hearing feeble cries, the servants en-
tered and found the girl imprisoned
in wardrobe. She was suffering
from the effects of poison and later
in the hospital told her pitiful story.
After persuading her to accompany
him as his secretary to his estate
at Susa, the millionaire revealed his
real intentions and kept her a pris-
oner for month, intercepting her
letters and baking her attempts at
fight. Finally he brought her to
Warsaw, where she determined to in
form the police. Her betrayer, how
ever, persuaded her to renounce her,
complaint for the sum of $4,000. In
stead of paying the money, he put
poison in her tea, and after locking
her up in the wardrobe decamped.

If the tax from these two estates
could be collected in this fiscal year
and added to the other moneys col
lected and due the grand total would
be over $2,500,0O0.
From 1898, when CALIFORNIA; first
inheritance tax law was enacted, to
1910, or seventeen fiscal years in all,
the average annual revenue from this
source was S34S,632. The highest year
ly receipts during that period amount
ed to $937,073, and the lowest to
S1,365.
When Controller Chambers assumed
office about September 1st last, it so
happened that within an hour of the
time he did so he was called upon
to decide whether or not to bring
suit against an estate involving values
that ran into the millions. This, ma
turally, caused him to investigate the
entire inheritance tax situation. He
was told that experts figured from
25 to SO per cent of the tax was
escaping collection and that it would
be very difficult to stop the leaks
notwithstanding his predecessor, Con-

III WILLIAM fhiIiE oiMWSs
(Paris Correspondent T. the United
Perss.)
PARIS, July 21-"The American
man is just about the grandest institu-
tion of his kind in the world" de-
clared Mrs. Mabel Potter Daggett,
writer Of international repute, in an
interview granted The United Press
correspondent here. Mrs. Daggett
is in France studying sociological
conditions as they affect women, fol-
lowing a similar investigation in Ger
many.
Back home" she said, Il would
have YOU know ! am something of a
suffragette. have always felt that
woman was not getting what she de-
serves from the tyrant man. / felt
she was imposed upon, that she was
the victim Of an enormous number Of
wrongs which simply cried aloud to
be remedied.
Since ! came to Europe have
changed my mind on more than one
point. have come to realize few
things / was not aware of before. One
OF the things / know now, for in
stance, is that the American woman
Is the best treated, the most highly
respected and generally the most
look-up-to lady of the universe.
In Germany the woman is not
much better off than servant; in
fact wife Is regarded as a sort OF
chief-maid, an unsalaried female per-
son whose duty it is to see that His
Majesty, the Man of the Establish
ment has everything as he wants It.
After his wife, the unpaid servant
SKINS the cream from everyday life
and gives ii to him, she can have
what is left. This rule holds through
the entire relation OF men and women
ot Germany, and, though perhaps to
somewhat lesser degree, the same
thing is true in France.
Throughout Europe l have found
the working woman working, not
side by side with the man, but In
places inferior to what is considered
q mans work." She does the hard
est labor; she sweeps the streets.
carries the coal in sacks on her
shoulders; works in the fields-yet
she has not one of the liberties. not
one Of the advantages we women in
America forget we have always had.
In America the man treats the
woman as his superior in many ways;
he looks up to her. Ii she is kent
from having things, it is not because
he is tyranizing her; he simply thinks
the things desired are not good for
her in her quality of wonderful
woman" Far from treating her AZ
his servant he is prone to make him
self hers, and instead Of forcing her
TO do work mental for him, il one OF
the two must do it, he not only does
1t himself but insists upon doing ii.
II smile when | confess IL. but
have come to realize more fully than
ever before l could. that America is
the woman's country OF countries,
and when I 60 back ] shan't feel
ashamed to cuddle down and purr in
real contentment."
Mrs. Daggett returns to America
shortly where she will write of her
European experiences and obserya-
tions.
