Rockefeller Fund
Exempt from Tax
Court Decides Request of
Founders Wife Goes to
Charitable Institution

The Appellate Division ruled yester-
day that the Rockefeller Foundation is
a charitable and benevolent institution,
and therefore comes within the mean
ing of the law exempting requests from
the payment of transfer tax. The de-
cision applies to the estate Of Mrs.
Laura S. Rockefeller. who was the wife
of John d. Rockefeller. and who left
s425,5lS of her sl,500,000 estate TO the
Foundation established by her husband.
In arguing that the Foundation is n
charitable institution, counsel for the
estate showed that in 1914 it gave ST.
100000 to the Belgian relief funds.
The State Controller, who contends
that the requests arc not exempt from
the payment of transfer tax, will
take the case to the Court of Appeals.

PREVENTS
FEW "WET" PARTIES

The strong arm squad of Grand
Forks, in this particular case, Officer
J. H. Bliven. made an entirely UNI
suspected and unwelcome raid on two
supply stations of liquor on the fair
program of the Caledonians was be-
ing carried out. Bliven, whose nasal
organs seem to be exceptionally we'll
DEVELOPED, scented bootleggers on
the ground, and soon he bore down
upon a merry-making party gathered
around a battery of we'll filled bottles
in one of the exhibition barns. Not
a moment was lost between thought
and action, and, Bliven's club crashed
down among the bottles causing gen.
eral destruction. The thirsty soil
eagerly imbibed the fluid which was
released from the bottles when the
club came down. In another barn he
found more liquor--and as a conse-
quence the ground is still wet.
1t need not be added that no ar
rests for intoxication were made after
this strenuous exhibition of strong
arm methods in the most approved
and up to date manner.
