Question for a Jury.

The court also refers to the question
of whether a third person, named as
executor. could have collected the in
dividual debt of the executor to the
testator. While the executor re-
manned liable, he suggests the liability
of the surety may be quite another
matter. and it should be accorded an
opportunity for jury to decide that
question.

of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, September l.
The American consulate general at
Moscow, which has, since the beginning
of the war, been delegated by the Ger
man government to handle German civil
prisoners in Russia, is now making a
determined effort to return these prls-
oners to Germany, so that they may not
suffer the hardships of another winter
in the interior of Russia. Although
these prisoners have not been the vic
tins of actual cruelty on the part of
Russian officials. their condition has
been indescribab bly, wretched. Hundreds
Of them have died from cold. starvation
and disease.
a recent order issued by Prince Usu
poff the governor of MOSCOW, stated
explicitly that every German or Aus
TITAN of non -Slavis origin, regardless of
age state of health or any mitigating
circumstances whatsoever. Eiust leave
Moscow before August IA, either for
Germany, or for one of the interior
gbvernments whicA have been chosen
for the internment of civil prisoners,
and which already harbor more than
100, 900 men, women and children.
Meant Certain Death.
This order meant certain death for
scores of Moscow residents whose
physical condition was such that even
a short journey under the best condi-
tions would have been dangerous. John
Shodgrass, the American consul gen.
etal, who had made a special study of
these cas1a, appealed to the governor
OF Moscow for discrimination in the
execution of the order of expulsion, but
popular feeling has run so high against
the German and Austrian subjects in
Fsussia that it was stated that excep
tions could not be made.
An American correspondent sitting in
the offices OF the consul general watch
ed the stream of foreign subjects who
were suddenly confronted with expul-
sion from the country which they had
learned to consider their own. Most of
them, although German or Austrian
subjects. had lived SO lonG in Russia
that they were thoroughly Russian in
their sympathies, and some of the wom-
en- had even been deyoting their time
id sewing and making clothing for Rus
sian soldiers. For a large percentage
OF them a return to Germany, where all
their associations had long been broken,
or a seclusion in the interior of Rus
sia were alternatives offering an equal
ly dismal prospect.

The chief justice in sustaining the
contention of the surety company holds
the Probate Court to have limited jul

The jurisdiction of the Probate Court

jurisdiction given the orphans court
of Maryland by the act of 1898, and
also certain jurisdiction respecting

DISCHARGES THE RULE
ISSUED IN SUIT ON BOND
Chief Justice Covington Holds Pro-
ceedings Were Not Properly
Before Probate Court.

Proceedings to recover on a bond of
an administrator or executor by 4
distlbutee under an estate must be in
stituted in a court of law and the Pro-
bate Court lacks jurisdiction to compel
a surety company to pay into the regis
try the penalty of the bond of default
ing or recreant principal. Chief Justice
Covington of the District Supreme
Court SO holds in an opinion filed to-
day discharging a rule issued against
the Illinois Surety Company of Chi
cago to show cause why it should not
pay $500 into court because the ad-
ministrator of the estate of George w.
Hutton had failed to pay an individual
debt of $1,000 due the estate. The
opinion of the court directs the dis
charge of the rule.
The surety company opposed the ef-
fort to compel it to pay over the pen
atty of its bond without submitting the
question of it's liability to the determi
nation of jury. 1t pointed out that
section 297 of the code provides for
suit upon the bond of a defaulting ex
ecutor and administrator, and denied

little demand for carpenters and

WAR TAXES MUST
Be PAID SHORTLY
But Little More Than Week
Remains in Which to ES-
cape Big Penalty.

There remains but little more than
"a week now before those on whom a
special war tax is levied must pay in
order 10 avoid the so per cent penalty
Since the emergency revenue law eX-
pires by limitation Dec. 81, 1918. the
tax now being collected is for SIX
months only.
Carelessness in attending to the pay
ment of this special tax causes many
TO find themselves compelled TO pay
the Benalty but on the other hand
there are not a few who seek to avoid
payment altogether BY means OF
false returns and other ruses il is es-
timated that the government has fail
ed TO receive a considerable part OF
the revenue which the emergency law
was expected TO create. Failure TO un-
derstand fully certain provisions OF
the law also has resulted in loss OF
revenue. Government inspectors are
now on the trail of those who have
sought to escape payment.
Banks are among those who are
taxed through this special law. 1t is
not possible for Collector Butler &c
district for the reason that the returns
are mostly made 10 the Indianapolis
office. These returns are practically
all in now and ii is not expected that
any considerable number will be pen
allied as was the case in November
last year when the first tax was levied
under the new law.
The completely of the law is shown
somewhat bv the fact that many who
are ordinarily placed in the cate
CORY of bankers are judged as bankers
for the purpose of taxation.
The law applies three tests as
qualifications for tax as bankers
CD Every person, firm or company
and every incorporated or other bank
having a place Of business where
credits are opened by the deposit OF
collection of money or currency, sub
ject to be RENTED by draft cheCh
or order: CD or where money is
advanced or loaned on stocks bonds
bullion bills of exchange or prom
issory notes; CD or where stocks
bonds, bullion, bills of exchange OF
promissOry notes are received fol
discount sale, shall be bankers under
this act.
Bank taxes are levied at the rate
of 81 per year for each 81 900 on
the combined capital, surplus and
undivided profits Last November the
tax paid was for the eight months
Nov. 1, 1914 TO June 30, 1915-the as

Since the emergency revenue law eX-

quired to remit at the rate of 80 cents
for each full thousand dollars Of CAPT
