New York.-A woman tried for
witchcraft! We hold up our hands
and wonder at the bigotry of those
narrow-minded Puritans in Salem,
Mass. Such situation seems so re-
mote from anything that would be
possible today! So we are in the
habit OF saying, but it is not an i'm
possibility.
Only a short time ago a woman was
tried for witchcraft in court OF law
in south Pennsylvania. That was not
the name used in the charge that was
brought against her, but that was the
accusation that was lodged in the
minds of every one who was interest
ed in the case, which was tried In
region so thoroughly saturated with
traditional superstition that not even
the present prosperity and general ed
ucation can destroy them. Technically
the woman was convicted of obtaining
money under false pretenses, but ac-
tually she was convicted of being

In the home of prominent lawyer
in Camden county there is hole in

with salt which witnesses to his belief
in witchcraft. At one time he prose
cuted a case against an old woman
who. when convicted and fined, left
the court muttering lamentations ana

That night the lawyer was suddenly
attacked with violent pains In the
head. The curse had come upon him
and he feared the wretched old wom'
an, whom he believed to be respon'
sible for it. Only witchcraft can
drive out witchcraft. No doctor OF
medicine would do in such a case.
A day laborer who was born with
a caul over his face was brought IN
through the back door and taken TO
the bedroom of the suffering lawyer
The electric lights had been eXtin-
guished and a candle flickered at each
side of the bed Looking at the pa

with, the hex" doctor muttered ms

around the sufferers neck and bored
the hole in the northeast leg Of the

he had chanted lamentations. TINS
done, he announced that the evil pow
ers had notified the witch, who lived
in hut at some distance, that she
could no longer hold dominion over
the body OF her enemy, the lawyer.
The patient believed that his pains

ficials in the state comptroller's Of
fee in this city began tabulation OF
the wealth left by the large number
of prominent New York men who
have died since January l, 1913. 1t
is estimated that the total amount OF
wealth passed on to the next genera

more than one billion dollars.
The state comptroller at Albany re-
ports that for the year ending last
September the total amount of rev.
enue collected by the state from the
inheritance tax was $l2,724,236.So'
The sum to be collected from estates
not yet appraised is believed to be
much larger.
Never before in the history Of this
country, it is said, have so many men
of wealth and power died in such a
short period Included in the list are
such names as J. Pierpont Morgan
Anthony N. Brady, Benjamin Altman,
Charles E. Appleby, George A. Hearn'
Henry NJ. Flagler and Isaac "
Brokaw.
The tax on the Brady estate, paid
recently in advance on appraisal to
get a discount on the regular per-
centage, was $2,5S4,000, which was on
an estimated valuation of $75,OOO,Ooo.
The Morgan estate has paid an adj
vance tax of $2,500,000 on an estimated
total valuation of $65.000,OOO, exclu-
sive of works of art, which have been
valued at more than $50,00O.0OO.
George w. Vanderbilt is supposed to
have left S50000,000 Attorneys for
the estate are working on an estimate
of the fortune to be made to the state
comptroller.
The largest inheritance tax paid
since the enactment of the law was
that of $3,1500O0 on the $87OOO,OOO
estate of the late Col. John Jacob AS
tor. Previous to that the estate of
John S. Kennedy, valued at $67 ,O0O,-
600, held the record.
BENJAMIN Altman, George A. Hearn,
Isaac V. Brokaw and Isidor Straus'
great merchants, are some of the men
whose estates are being adjusted by
the state comptroller. Mr.. Altman
left his art works, valued at $4,000
600, to the Metropolitan museum. HIS
total estate is supposed to be worth
$SO0OO.0OO.
Mr.. Hearn, another noted art col
lector, left an estate of $1O,OOO,OOO,
besides notable art collection. The
estate of Isaac ". Brokaw is estimated
at $5,OO0,O00 and a valuation of $4,-
427,6OS was placed on the estate OF
Isidor Straus. Henry Flagler left an
estate of $6,000,000.
Other large estates settled in 1913
are those of D. o. Mills, who left
about $1OO00,000; Edwin Hawley, val
ued at $9,740,000, less debts of about
100000 and James R. Keene, est1
mated at $20,00O.000.

sRANDEIs ENDS
RATE AReuM EMIT

Washington, May L. The govern
ment ownership of railroads would be
necessary sequence to refusal of
the Interstate Commerce commission
to permit an advance in freight rates
or at least to provide for addition.
al net revenue to the roads-was the
suggestion made in briefs and argu.
ments submitted to the commission
today in the eastern advance rate
case.
George Stuart Patterson. general
counsel Of the Pennsylvania, opened
the arguments for the railroads.
Louis d. Brandeis, special counsel
for the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in the Ave per cent advance rate
case concluded his argument today.
summarIzes Rate Situation
After exhaustive examination OF
testimony Mr.. Brandeis summarized
the situation a. follows:
On the whole the net income and
the net operating revenues of the
railroads In oflcial classification ter.
ritory are smaller than is consistent
with their assured prosperity and the
welfare Of the community; and this
is notably true of the central freight
association and other eastern lines.
In view Of this fact 1t is desirable
steps should be taken as promptly as
reasonably may be, to increase this
net revenue.
That the method proposed by the
carriers for increasing this net rev.
enue is essentially unsound; that 1t
is. except from small part of the
tariffs which have been submitted,
contrary to law and would be, II ap-
proved, invalid and exceeding the
powers vested by the congress in this
commission. and as to the small part
to which 1t would be legal to approve
them, It would be unwise to the car
riers and to the community to ap-
prove them.
Railroad Method Unsound
That there is nothing in the condi-
tons Of the carriers which should
prevent the adoption of those meth.
DDS Of increasing their revenues
which are conformable and in accord.
ance with their interests and those
Of the community: and that there
exists and have been indicated in this
record q definite means Of increasing
the revenues without resort to these
unsound, largely illegal and horizon
tai increases in rates.
In his argument Mr.. Brandeis
harked back to his statement In the
advance rate case Of 1910 that the so.
luton Of the entire problem lies al
most entirely In scientific manage
ment which by conversation Of effort
and resources should be effectual to
overcome any and all increases In
costs Of raw material and labor.
