to Appeal Court-sl 100000
Involved.
b. Mashinzton Herald.

Special TO The Washington Herald.
Annapolis, Nd, Oct. 2L-The Court Of
Appeals yesterday was asked to decide
whether the State tax commission has
authority to collect additional taxes on
the gross receipts Of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad.
The appeal was taken by the State
from the ruling Of the Superior Court OF
Baltimore. which decided in favor of the
railroad company. About 100000 in
taxes Is involved in the controversy.
Attorney General Poe and Judge Oscar
Lesser presented the States side of the
case and contended that the original act
OF ISIS under which the taxes have been
collected. was repealed by a subsequent
act and the suit is the outgrowth of ef-
forts TO collect taxes from 1896 to and in
Guiding the fiscal year 1893.
W. Irvine Cross and r. Marsden Smith
argued for the railroad company.

Can Show Its Folly.
We are now so thoroughly equip
ped with uncontrovertible facts and
statistics. which disprove all the claims
and wild theories OF the suffragists
that the further extension OF this
monumental folly is doomed.
The overwhelming defeat of suf-
!rage in New Jersey has caused the
'ufragists to give out all kinds of
reasons for defeat, one OF which is
that the politicians OF the State are
responsible for the failure to adopt
votes for women yet. in the rural dis
riots where no one claims the politi-
slams control the voters. the majori-
lies against suffrage were as great
Dr greater than in the cities.
The politicians of North Dakota
asst year were all in favor of woman
suffrage and all political parties in
that State Endorsed the measure In
heir platforms. yet the State went
overwhelmingly against the measure
last November. The good sense of
the voters was opposed TO such an
amendment when the facts against
votes for women were placed before

As rule, Anna was good wait

was confused, awkwardly nervous and
forgetful. Helen had to give constant
whispered instructions.
Several times Warren glanced
darkly across at her. for instead of ex-
erting herself to entertain their
guests Helen sat in silent abstraction,
her thoughts on the kitchen.
II was relief when they left the
table. Coffee was to be served in the
library, but when Anna brought in
the tray, it was minus the sugar tongs
and one spoon. In an icy undertone
Helen pointed out the omission.

-"Shall ! bring her in?" Glad of an
excuse to see If Annals sister was

Not only was the sister there, but

remains of the roast, the salad and

Helen's voice rose in shrill anger,
