DECLARES STATE
BANK STOCK TAX IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
William J. Field, of Bankers
Assn, Shows Points Where
Measure Will Fail.
Especial to the Evening star.I

JERSEY CITY. April 1.-"There is
no doubt as TO the unconstitutionality
of the State bank tax act. We have
been advised by some of the best
legal minds of the State to that
effect
The above statement was made to-
day by William J. Field. secretary of
the New Jersey State Bankers As
sociation, at his office in the CONNER
cial Trust Company IL Exchange
place.
The bank tax measure was giving
the bankers of the State little con-
Germ, MIR. Field said They are con-
tident that the measure will be
knocked out by the courts.
TT is unlikely that the question
will come before the association Of
ficially until the convention, which
will be held i'm Atlantic City. May
and 3" Mr. Field said There will
be plenty of time then to discuss the
matter openly. The law, as ] un-
derstand it, does not take effect un-
til July /. So you see there is no
immediate hurry"
Asked what sections of the act are
believed to be unconstitutional, Mr..
Field said there were many sections.
Particularly, though, he said. was
that section which provided for the
manner in which bank shares are to
be assessed.
According to the new law these
shares" Mr.. Field said. are as
sessed according to their book value.
when they should be assessed by
their full value. which is their mar
lIet value.
"Then, too" he said "the new law
puts bank property in n class by
itself. There is no good, legal reason
why banks should be placed in a sep
arate class
Mr. Field said that while the asso-
citation officially had taken no action
in the matter, one thing was quite
certain: that is that the act viii be
tested as to it's constitutionaliy.
And we are enirely confident that
it win be knocked out" Mr. Field
concluded

LEGISLATURE TO
CLOSE APRIL 9
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, April 1.-The prospects
now are for four days sessions of
both Houses OF the Legislature next
week with possible final adjourn
ment on Thursday April 3. The
duration of next weeks session, which
will begin at the convening of the
House as usual on Monday night de-
pends largely upon the character of
the business and the temper of the
members. If any strong differences
develop It is said that the session
may last even longer.
The principal business for next week
will be the review of the inheritance
tax bill, which is to be resubmitted
to both Houses on Monday night,
action by the Senate on the Assem-
bly, economy and efficiency bills and
by the House on the five bills recon-
mended by that commission which
have passed the Senate and the treat
ment of the appropriation bill.

FIND No EVIDENCE
AGAINST RODGERS
But MAN WHO DIED FROM FRAC-
TURED SKULL ACCUSED
HIM.

Gilbert Rodgers, who Is now under
arrest on a technical charge of beIrg
a vagrant. until detectives can investi-
gate the causes OF the death OF John
Crittenden, fifty-five years old, Of 331
Iosby Street, who died in the Virginia
Hospital Friday night after suffering
fracture In the back OF his head,
will be released from custody when
the case comes up in Police Court.
according to Detective Sergeants Wiley
and Kella m. who investigated the case,
Crittenden claimed that Rodgers was
one of the two men who struck him
over the head with a stick. The
police theory Is that Critic naen was
drunk and fell. fracturing his skull
from which injuries he later died.
On the strength of statement maze
by Critterfden the detectives arrested
Rodgers several days ago. Crittenden
asserted that he met two. men In JEFF
ferson Park on the night that he vas
injured and that they asked him for
a drink OF whiskey. When he re-
fused them he alleged that they as
saulted him fractur!ng his skall.
Crittenden named Gilbert Rodgers and
George Vaughan as his assailants 1t
afterwards turned out that Vaughan
was confined in the City Jail at the
time and could not have figured in the
case No evidence has been uncovered
against Rodgers and 1t Is thought hat
even the charge Of yagrancy will he
dismissed when the case against him Is
called in Police Court October 90.
