THREE ATTACK THIRTY.
Unconhrmed Report That Rancher and
Two Men Killed ID of Band of
Mexican Marauders.

FL Paso, July l0.-Fourteen Mexican
are reported to have been killed in {
fight with three Americans not far from
Anspra, n. NJ, according to report re
ceived here Saturday. The Mexicans are
reported to have crossed the border al
2 a. m. and to have driven 46 head OF
horses from the ranch OF Tom Perrine
three miles out of Anapra.
Perrine, Texas ranger and former
customs guard, waited until daylight
when, with two of his men, he started in
pursuit of the bandits. At noon Satur-
day he telegraphed into FL Paso that he
and his men had caught up with the Mex
leans near the boundary, engaging them
in a fight, killing IA, aud recovering his
horses The Mexicans, he said, numbered
more than 80.
A sheriff's posse which left FL Paso on
Saturday to investigate, returned that
night without having obtained any veri-
fication of the rumors Members of the
posse asserted that they had searched
the surrounding country thoroughly and
had been unable to find any trace of the
reported fight or of the bodies of the
Mexicans said to have been killed.

Escaping Inheritance Taxes.

1t is 10 be hoped that the state o
New York will be able b collect 81
100000 or more in the form of an inner
itance tax from the Hetty Green estate
whose size in dollars is estimated any,
where from 100000 900 to Sl50O00,000
Recent amendments to the New York
inheritance tax law make it richly worth
while for the state TO make the effort in
spite OF the claim that Mrs Green's
legal residence was Bellows Falls. VT
Mrs. Green resided in New York most OF
the time; and she did her business there
By drawing her will as she did and claim
! ing the Vermont town as her legal abode
she and her direct heirs have taken sd-
vantage of the fact that no inheritance
tax is imposed in Vermont on property
willed by parents to children.
All of Mrs. Hetty Green's arrange
ments in disposing of her vast property
revealed her intensely selfish conception
of property rights The 100000. 900 or
$50 100000 was hers and she might do
with the money what she pleased No
gifts whatever to public institutions, or
charities, or to philanthropies have been
announced. Practically the entire cs-
ate is left to two children and the will
even provides that they are not to file
an inventory or to be subject to the iur-
isdiction of the probate court. The wom-
ans life was spent largely in piling up
this colossal fortune. based originally on
the fortune she had inherited. and the
passion of acquisition was apparently as
strong when death came as at any pre-.
vious time.
There are wealthy people who are un.
able to understand the obligation to the
state which property as an institution
is under. They forget that such enor
nous accumulations would be impossible
without the protection which the state
affords; they cannot remember the fact
that property can be bequea thed by will |
or passed along intact from one genera
ton to another only because of the laws |
the process, and that those
laws are enforced only because the state, |
with the sanction of society back OF it, |
has the power to enforce them. In some |
levels of civilization, Mrs. Green's heirs
would be able to hold only so much OF
her property as they could defend with
Knives and clubs in their own hands. But
lere in the United States of America,
hey can take possession of 100000 900,
eft to them, and it isn't necessary even
% summon a constable.
Owners of vast private wealth should
hink more of their obligations TO The
tate which protects them and welcome
he opportunity TO make some adequate
eturn for the opportunities which or
anized society has afforded TO them in
he accumulation and distribution of
property. Only the inheritance tax can
the state adequately when
hese obligations are ignored and no
tate in the union should be without
inheritance tax law

shipping Bill Agreement Is
Reached by Major
"a ity Party
TO PRESS BILL
FOR PASSAGE
Changes Sanctioned in eau,
Gus Do Not Change Prin-
ciple Of the Measure

Washington, July lo.-Democratic sen
ators IN caucus at Washington Saturday
reached IAN agreement on the government
shipping bill to upbuild the American
merchant marine, pending one of the
most serious party divisions that have
occurred within the life OF the Wilson
administration. Differences which led to
q Democratic revolt at the last session Of
| Congress and resulted in failure of the
ship purchase bill, had threatened the
pending measure, earnestly advocated by
President Wilson, with like fate.
Amendments submitted saturday, how
ever, ironed out all serious differences
and senators who had been fighting each
other on the issue shook hands, resolving
to press the bill for passage at this ses-
sion no matter how long it may delay
adjournment.
Changes proposed by the Democrats Of
the commerce committee and agreed to
by the caucus do not alter the principle
OF the bill, which already has passed the
House. The amendments include the fol
lowing provisions:
The government shall not purchase any
ship which flies the flag OF European
nation at war nor any ship already en-
gagged in American trade unless it is
about to be withdrawn from that trade.
No ship shall be acquired by the gov
eminent which is below IS per cent OF its
original efficiency.
The government shall not undertake to
operate merchant, ships unless all efforts |
fail TO negotiate satisfactory leases or
sales to private corporations for that |
purpose, the government reserying the |
right, however, to prescribe conditions I
under which ships shall be operated and /
in what service they shall engage.

Safe 6 Per Cent Investments.

| In the July American Magazine, a con-
tributor to The Family's Money says
Il am man on salary and have ma de
a study for many years of the best ways
of investing my own small savings; and
| it makes me provoked to read the advice
of wiseacres who say that because
man has small savings he should content
himself with the 8 or per cent he gets
in savings banks, or even the ) per cent
in good sound bonds
For a long time took the advice of
certain dealers in securities who no doubt
wished to sell their wares. and averaged
about Az per cent on my money. But |
am now certain from my own experience
over considerable number of years that
any small investor who is willing to take
little trouble can as easily get per
cent net for his money and be absolutely
safe. This form of investment is the
first mortgage on good improved farm
land. There is no security so safe as
that based directly upon land values. If
the investor is in a position to loan di-
rectly to good farmers and knows the
property himself, so much the better.
But few small investors can do this;
they can, however. buy these mortgages
to net 6 per cent from perfectly reliable
banks and investments companies in the
Middle West-as | have done for long
time and with perfect safety. Before |
invested anything. however, | made in
luiries through my bank of the reliable
