TO FIGHT COLLECTION
 OF INHERITANCE TAX
Altman Foundation, Chief Beneficiary of Dead Multi Millionaire, Claims Itself Charitable Institution,
 Hence Exempt.

New York, Jan. 20.-The Altman foundation, chief beneficiary of the will of Benjamin Altman, who left an estate estimated at from $40,000,- 900 to $5O,OO0,0O0, will resist an at tempt of the state comptroller to col lect an inheritance transfer tax. The executors of the Altman estate, it is learned, object to paying the tax on the ground that the Altman founda- tion is a charitable institutions The state comptroller has already begun proceedings to collect the tax.
 Within three weeks, the appraiser, John B. Coggey, will begin to hold hearings at which experts will be examined to fix the value of the hold ing of Benjamin Altman in the cor poration of B. Altman and Company The executors of the estate have not given the comptroller an estimate of the value of this stock, claiming that 1t is not legally subject to the trans fer tax. The state comptroller con- tends that the sDrimary object of the Altman foundation is to conduct and direct private business and that it's charitable features are only second- ary.

 uriant,

Try as you will, after an applica- tion of Danderine, you cannot find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most, will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes- but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dahdefihes thd carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is inn mediate and amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incom- parable lustre, softness and luxuri- ance, the beauty and simmer of true hair health.
 Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all.

GEORGE EVANS

When Honey Boy" Evans offers his new program of minstrelsy at the Elks theatre, Tuesday January 27. he promises surprise in the intro duction of a new voice in minstrelsy. The newcomer Is Master Paul Van Dyke; he is a Swiss yodler and George Evans vouches for his excel JeAce. The yodler is rare indeed who can give satisfactory rendition of this peculiar style of singing Master Van Dyke, is native Swiss, and the possessor of a rarely sweet voice. All his life he has been sing ing the native songs of his own land and it is his natural style which he new brings to minstrelsy with the Evans company. Other sweet singers in the organization are Vaughn Con- fort, James Meehan, William H :. Thompson, Joseph Gillespie and Ed I.indemaa. The introduction of these vocal stars takes place in the beauti- full First Part secen called "The Good Old Summer Time" and shows the ss,ni-circie of oiden times framed in 2 modern scenic picture. This set ting Is from an idea conceived and executed by Unit and Wicks, scenic artists for Daniel Frohman's New York Lyceum theatre.

c. l.. Young, Prominent Chi cago Railroad Lawyer,
 Here for Wayward Son
ARE GLAD TO GO BACK
Young Men Ran Away From Homes of Plenty to Face Back Doors
 and "HandOuts."

Characteristic of the busy man, C. l.. Young, prominent attorney for the Great Northern railroad, who with his wife and friends, had been on a search lasting for week for his son, H. w. Young, 20, and William Mad dock, both of Evanston, H., came to Pine Bluff yesterday afternoon at 3:45 o'clock, and after joining the youths at police headquarters, he took the pair with him at o'clock over the Iron Mountainy~by way of Little Rock for Chicago.
 Owing to the fact that they were hardly in their usual mode of attire and had been roughing it to an ex- tent, the boys were little loathe to meeting MT. Young, but once the ice was broken, they appeared to be very we'll pleased, and were quite willing to go back to their homes.
 Mrs. Young, who with Ben Traham. a friend of the youths, had been in Memphis, searching for Young and Maddock, was informed that the boys had been found and returned from that city to her home at Evanston, and both parties will arrive there very nearly the same time.
 Maddock and Young yesterday re- ceived their suit cases, which had been forwarded to Fort Worth, Texas. It was known late Monday that MT. Young would come here, as he had wired Chief of Police J. Frank Stew art to hold his son, with the presump- tion also that Maddock would remain also. Maddock was really not held at all, as there had not been any re- quest made to the police department to hold him. While Young was tech nically a prisoner and Monday night was locked up, he enjoyed much lib- erty and was allowed to take exercise in company with Sanitary Officer Victor Boyd and also was during the day time allowed the freedom of the police station.
 While the boys were game, and did not wish to openly admit that they had experienced enough roughing ov- CT the road" they practically admit ted that home and plenty is better than handouts" sometimes, and sometimes not.
