PLANS FOR SICK

PAYS OVER $350,ooo
FOR INHERITANCE TAX
State Treasurer Receives Largest
Check Since Tax Was Levied.

A check for S350,772Sf, which the
state treasurer has received from the
executor of the estate of the late Jo-
seph Millbank, of Greenwich, to pay
the inheritance tax, represents the
largest sum received by the treasurer
since the tax was first levied. 1t is a
little over 43 per cent. of the total
amount received from the tax during
the last fiscal year. The tax added
$780,, 293 to the revenues of the state,
last year, and it is expected the in
come from the inheritance tax this
year will be considerably over a mil
lion dollars. The estate of Mr.. Mill
bank inventoried S12,797.726.30.
The next largest amount from an
inheritance tax was $241, 3O2.6S, paid
on the estate of Sebastian Lawrence
of New London, in 1911. The Law
renee estate inventoried in the neigh
borhood of $11, 0OO,C COO. If Mr.. Law
renee lived a few weeks longer the
tax would have been nearly so per
cent. larger. An amendment to the
law changing the rate of the tax and
other conditions pertaining to it went
into effect shortly after Mr.. Lawrence
died.
The judges of probate are now re-
quired to file with the tax commits
siOner copies of inventories of estates
of deceased persons. This law was
passed at the last session, and has
been in effect since August. There
have been already filed inventories of
about 1000 estates. OF course, all
these are not liable for the payment
of an inheritance tax, and perhaps
not more than 20 per cent. of them
will pay the tax. In the future the
tax commissioner will have more COM
plete control of the work of levying
the inheritance tax. The estates of
persons who died before last May are
now handled by the state treasurer,
but the levying of the tax on the es-
tate of all others is within the prov
ince of the tax commissioner

San Antonio, Texas. April s.-A re-
port from Colonel w. c. Brown OF the
Tenth Cavalry. received tonight, in
dicated that he. at least, believed
Francisco Villa had fed from the dis
trict about Guerrero and was making
his way south. He sent his report
from Cushihuirachic, west Of Chihua-
hua, two days ago and said that he
was pursuing what he characterized
as hot trail' of the fugitive chief.
Colonel Brown referred to the skirm-
ish his force had April l with $50 OF
Villas men, in which three Mexicans
were killed. There were no American
casualties. IL was assumed at head
quarters that this was the same en-
gagcment reported by Major Evans 10
General PershinE. Major Evans sent
no details but General Pershing added
that natives arriving at his camp had
stated that Americans had killed be-
tween 80 and 40 Of the Villa men.
Colonel Brown sent the report re-
ceived today TO Colonel Letcher at
Chihuahua who forwarded II TO Cen
eral Bell at FL Paso.
II is the first time the Mexican
wires have been used for the trans
mission of military reports. The re-
port was sent on to General Funston
from FL Paso.
Colonel Brown said that after the
fight April l he had chased the Villa
force through San Antonio. Chihua-
hua. towards the south.
The presence Of a detachment OF
the Tenth cavalry at Cusihuirachic on
April 4 served to support the assump-
ton today Of officers here that the
advance forces perhaps already had
arrived At Satevo. south Of Chihua-
hua. The air line distance between
