EAST END SCHOOL
 |S GUTTED BY FIRE
Loss Starts Agitation for Fire Pro lection in Rural School
 Districts

The East End ward school building on the south side was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning. The fire had originated under the floor. The fire was discovered little after six o'clock and neighbors hurried to the school house but in the absence of fire fight ing apparatus they were unable to do much. bucket brigade was formed and water was carried from a nearby irrigating ditch but in spite of the eff forts of the crowd the flames gained head way until the building was gut ted, the desks and books being des- troyed The wall and roof were left intact.
 The Phoenix fire department sent out truck No. 1 and a chemical but it got there too late to do any good. There had been no fire il. tne building so that there is a natural suspicion of in cendiarism.
 This fire has created an agitation in favor of fire protection in the rural dis tricts. Some believe that there should be a water tank at every schoolhouse or else a small chemical engine that might be used for fighting fires ai school houses and the adjacent neigh borhoods. With either appliance this building might have been saved. The house was insured for an amount tc cover the loss.

CONTEST OVER THE
 JONES ESTATE TAX
First Case of Controversy Over ln- heritance Tax Comes Up Over
 Matter of Jones Estate.

How much inheritance tax the state will derive from the estate of the late Harry J. Jones is a matter of contention between County At torney Clyde NJ Candy, for the State, and Armstrong & Lewis, at torneys for the Jones estate. The assessed valuation of the property is estimated at sl26,O00, and according to the statutes l per cent of the ap- praised value is set aside as inherit ance tax.
 Shortly before his death Jones deeded his property, which consisted largely of real estate, to his wife, so that the matter of administration does not enter into the present ques- tion. The state has contended that administration is unnecessary, and Mrs. Jones counsel has admitted lia- bility, the only question involved being valuation, that the tax might he fixed. Candy asserts that the property was a gift and the same as inheritance and subject to inheritance tax.
 Armstrong X Lewis contend that the property has been assessed too high; that il should not have been more than Sl00.00. They further con- tend that $G0.0O0 mortgage should be deducted Mrs. Jones is entitled to her community interest, which would be one-half. amounting to something like S2O.000. With the s5,O00 exemption this brings the net part of the estate taxable as inherit ance to sl5.000, giving the state q tax ] of $50
 Mir. Candy has not stated the sum he believes to he the amount due the state. but it is understood that his | figures and those of Armstrong X Lewis do not correspond. There is said to be rather wide difference. but the exact amount could not be learned. This is the first case of it's 1 kind that has come to the county at torney's office since the law was passed.
