MRS. TATUM NOW
HOLDS FORT ALONE
Has Husbands Superin-
'tendent Arrested and
Ousted from Estate.

Trouble brewed again yesterday at
the Tatum home. at Great Neck, Long
Island. Mrs. Mary Jane Tatum, whose
husband. John c. Tatum, wealthy
cotton broker, sued her for divorce and
lest. and was recently sued for sep
aration by her, caused the arrest of
Walter Trousant. superintendent of the
estate.
Constable David Allen arrested
Trousant and took him before Judge
Hayden. Mrs. Tstum accused the pris-
oner Of disorderly conouct, contending
that he refused TO leave the estate,
called her names and told her he had
as much right on the place as she had.
81 can't stand this man any longer,
Mrs. Tatum told the judge. 81 dis
charged him once, but as my husband
has a half interest in the estate here
decided to allow him to remain TO look
after the livestock. have discovered,
however. that he is carrying stories to
Mr.. Tatum. and this will never do.
told him to 90, but he refused, so
am obliged TO swear out a warrant for
HIM.
Trousant said that he was being paid
by Mr.. Tatum and that his orders were
not to leave the estate. Judge Hayden
threatened 20 lock up the superintend-
ent unless he left the estate until his
case came up for hearing tomorrow.
Trousant pleaded that he was respon-
sible to Mr.. Tatum for the care Of the
stock. The court finally permitted him
to return to the estate and engage
some one 70 take his place. provided he
would leave then. Mrs. Tatum said she
would appear against him in Judge
Hayden's court tomorrow.
The superintendent was arrested
several weeks ago on similar charge
preferred by Mrs. Tatum, but she
failed to press the charge.
In her recent action for separation
Mrs. Tatum asked for $1,000 a month
alimony and $1,000 counsel fee. Judge
Blackmar. in the Kings County SUI
preme Court, awarded her SIS a week
alimonv and $500 counsel fees pending
the trial of the action.

Re days.
Mr.. Osborne remarked that h. had
had 10 dealings with the Western
Union himself, but had left all ar

The warden was not certain where his
friend lived. but thought il was in
Yonkers, Tarrytown or Scarborough.

SAYSPUBLIC OUGHT
TO Be TAX CENSOR
MCAneny Replies to Prem
dergast - Not a Party
Issue, Mayor Thinks.

Mayor Mitchell refused to be drawn
into any quarrel with Controller Prem
dergast yesterday over the latter's
statement, in which he intimated that
politics might have something 10 do
with the criticism of the financial
plans of the Republican state admins
tration. President McAneny Of the
Board of Aldermen came back with a
sharp reply.
1T seems 10 me that partisan ques-
tons have no connection with this
question of a direct state tax" de-
clared the Mayor. Il think il unfortu-
nate that such a consideration has
been injected into it, 1t is purely a
business question, and a matter of the
protection of the City Of New York
against the imposition of an unneces-
sary direct tax, or any portion of
direct state tax which may not be
necessary. shall express my views
concerning this necessity shortly
President McAneny denied that
there was any politics in his opposition
to direct state tax. His appeal, he
said, would be directed equally to
Democrats and Republicans.
THE point he declared, "is that it
is proposed 10 crowd into this year Of
unusual financial stress many millions
of state expenditures that have no
place in such year.
THE Controller objects 20 what he
calls the assumption on the part Of
our municipal officials that they have
been endowed with a special mission
70 act as the censors of the approprl-
ating power of the Legislature.
should say that in the present state
OF affairs that was an extremely worthy
: mission. in our form Of government
: the taXpaying public has perfect
right. ard moreover should consider il
a duty, 20 constitute itself a censor
OF the appropriating power.
The trouble. as | sec il. is not that
we are constituting ourselves ccnsors
now. but that VIC have not been doing
so with more force during the many
! years that the Legislature has been
leyyng us drafts on the city
II. as the Controller asserted. The
highway appropriation was along lines
Of the preceding regime, Mr. McAneny
said. that did not change the fact that
~ spelled over taxation for the City Of
New York for the benefit OF upstate
communities.
81 am quite ready 70 agree" he said,
that II a former Legislature did the
same thing it was wrong. Ii is 10 less
wrong for this Legislature 10 do il.
Wherever such a thing is done New
York City should do its best to uncover
the true purpose of the appropriation
and 10 protect its own taxpayers,
whether the deed be done by Repub-
lIcan or a Democratic Legis lature."
Mr.. McAneuy answered the Control
lcr's reference to the fact that he the
CONTROLLER had been the only member
of the Board of Estimate to vote for a
reduction OF s1.677.0 in the budget
OF the Board Of Estimate by saying
that the money was necessary TO TAXI
care Of $1,000 additional pupils. II
the Legislature went ahead with its
plans for a direct tax, Mr. McAncny
added, IT would mean curtaIlment
next year not only in the Board Of Ed
ucatlon. but also in the work OF other
important departments of the munich
ral government.

Supreme Court Decides City
May Tax IntcrborOugh's
Franchise.

Washington. April -. A decision,
which IL is estimated will cost the In
terborougf company $l,500,000, was
handed down to-day by the Supreme
Court Tn, case involved the right OF
the city 10 tax the subway franchise
of the company under the original
franchise Of the company. in which eN-
emption from taxation except for real
estate was granted.
The question az issue was involved
because the company also operated
elevated lines, which did not share the
tax exemption feature OF the subway
franchise. The company conceded IT'S
liability TO taxation on its elevated
lines, but claimed exemption on the
subway under the original contract.
j. /. QuackenbuSh, attorney for the
lnterboroueh, was informed by tele-
Praph of the Supreme Court decision.

paid by the ln,crborough urder pro
