the famous suit of D. E. Loewe & Co.
agt. Martin Lawlor and others. which,
beginning in 1908, reached its final
stage in the United States district
court in New York last week, when
an order was issued relative to the
sale of property taken under attach
ment in the boycott suit. There are
155 parcels of property, mostly the
modest little homes of men who were
named among the defendants.
Counsel for the matters obtained the
privilege of having each piece of real
estate sold separately on the premises
instead of in bulk. The homes taken
on foreclosure are in Danbury, Bethel
and Norwalk.

law for the District of Columbia is be-
ing prepared by Senator Salisbury of
Delaware, a member of the Senate Dis
trict committee and also of the joint
selec. committee of Congress on the
fiscal relations between the United
States and the District of Columbia.
The senator has already requested and
received from local officials data upon
which to base his bill.

mittee a suggestion is made that it
would be wise to enact an inheritance
tax law for the District. and it Is I'M
derstood that this suggestion was made
largely upon the recommendation Of
Senator salisbury.
Senator Salisbury is of the opinion
that II would be better to increase the
exemption upon the personal property
now taxed in the District and enact
an inheritance tax law. He said today
| that he believed such a law would be
| tairer The exemption on personal
| nronerty. he said, might be increased
to $4,000.
| Opposed to Federal Tax.
When his attention was called to the
fac, that there was strong sentiment
in favor of a federal inheritance tax
among members of Congress as a
,,..na to raise Increased revenue for
the government Senator Salisbury said
,h., he was opposed to the enactment
~ a federal law. and that he thought
iris form of raising revenue should be
left to the states.
