MUST REFUND ALMOST
 |, $1,00O,OOO STOCK TAXES

New York, July 14.-The state of New York must refund almost $1,- 000, 1000 as result of the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of Van Antwerp, Bishop and company, who nine years ago sued on behalf of themselves and other brokers for a refunding of stock transfer taxes col lected under the Stock Transfer Law of 1906, which was declared uncon- stitutional.
 As the tax was paid in many cases by the customers, the brokers will dis tribute a large part of the amount collected to their clients. Samuel P. Goldman of the law firm of Goldman. Heide and Unger of No. 120 Broad way led the law fight on behalf of the brokers. The firm yesterday made the following statement: "In its decision the court not only awards the full amount claimed by the brokers, but also adds interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from the date of the payment of the tax. During the period when the question of constitutiona1ity of the law was in progress the state enforced the payment of the tax over the protest of the brokers, and even arrested one member of the Stock Exchange for violation of this law, which compelled the broker to pay two-dollar stamp tax for the transfer of shares of stock"
 The Stock Transfer Law of 1906 was { declared unconstitutional be- cause it made no discrimination be- tween stocks of $100 par value and stocks of lower par value. Mining shares of $1 par value paid the same tax as railroad stocks having a par value of $100 share. The consti- nationality of the present law has nev- CT been attacked successfully.

drinkers together, five million in number. must be looked upon as mor- tally wounded, and the temperate regular drinkers as seriously weund- ed, making total of over twenty five million Americans wounded by alcohol to-day. or more than ten times as many as were wounded in all the battles of the world since the dawn of history. The estimates for the white race make over one hun dred and twenty-five million white men to-day wounded by alcohol. which, it must be conceded, is a right tight little showing.
