AIDING STOCKMEN
 HIT BY DROUGHT

To assist cattle raisers in the South west, where drought has caused a great scarcity of feed, from suffering financial loss and to prevent hundreds of thousands of beef breeding cattle from being slaughtered and removed from the country's sources of meat, field agents of the United States De- partment of Agriculture in coopera- tion with local and state authorities especially the Texas cattle-raisers' as- sociations, are transferring cattle to the Southwest and Corn belt States, where feed is plentiful. Up to the mid dle of September 79 carloads of cattle had been shipped to the Southeast
 Arrangements have been hade so that cattle may be shipuped from the drought-striken area at reduction of 25 per cent from the regular
 freight rate. For the informatio

AIRPLANES DROP CIGARETTES FOR
 BOYS AT FRONT

Showers of cigatettes fell from the skies on the American fighters driv- ing the Germans out of the St. Mihi- el salient. This fact was announced in a cablegram received by William J. Mulligan, chairman of the Knights of Columbus Committee on War activi- ties, at National United War Work Campaign headquarters. From Amer ican airplanes 10000 packages of cig- arettes were dropped into the hands of infantrymen and artillerymen pres sing forward in their victorious squeeze which dislodged the enemy from the stronghold they had held for more than three years. Each package was stamped Compliments of Knights of Columbus"
 At the same time, cable dispatches announce, Y. M. c. A. workers on foot moved among the soldiers, handing out chocolates and cigarettes. On land and in the air these fearless workers kept pace with the American fighters moving forward in the first offensive exclusively executed by oul troops.
 The airplane service for distribution of cigarettes to the soldiers, while the battle was in progress and the ordin. ary foot or motor methods of reaching the men in the front lines were unav. ailable, was established by Martin V Merle, of San Francisco, a K. C. sec. retary, with the cooperation of al American airplane unit. After the fight soldiers related how pleasantly surprised they had heen when cigar cites dropped from on high. They de clared no service in their behalf evel had pleased them as much as this ul tra-modern delivery of "smokes."

FOUR YEARS IN FAMOUS
 PRINCESS PAT REGIMENT

Torn by shrapnel and bullets, cov- cred with wounds and victim of "gas- sing' Sergeant James Stanley of the famous Princess Pats" regiment of Canada, has just returned to America after four years and two days of part icipation in everything the deadly fight against the Huns has to offer. Dishcharged because of his disabilities Sergeant Stanley intends to devote the remainder of the war to awakening the country and Canada to the tremen- dous work being done by the Salvation Army, and the other big war work or ganizations on the battle fields. He comes to America in the interests of the United War Campaign for $170, 5OO,OOO.
 Sergeant Stanley fairly brims over when he talks of the great work of the Salvationists, Y. M. c. A., Knights of Columbus and others are doing on the battle front. He says, q can't make speech, but l can tell a story, and that is what am going to do."
 And here is part of his story.
 "When l went to France, in Aug ust, 1914, with the Princess Pats, l found the British Salvationists work CTS right up in the front lines with rifles in their hands.
 ! Christmas Eve of 1914 will never forget, for up into the firing line to us they came with boxes of things to eat and little presents to cheer us. But it was that way everywhere. You couldn't turn around but that one was waiting to serve you, serve in quiet, unobtrusive way, always seeking to help.
 "Only the men workers came'up into the firing lines on the British front,
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1918-10-19

but they were right in the front line trenches. Back a little ways were the lassies, who met the men going up the tired and sick and wounded, some coming back, and served hot coffee and food and passed cheering word. But it is different now, for the Am clican lassies and other welfare work CTS are right up in the first line trenches with the men. The Sal vationists take pay for food and drink when the boys have it, but when a boy doesn't have enough money he ge.3 just as much as the boy who has. He can pay back when he gets his pay, if he is inclined, but he never wants.
 Danger means nothing to the work CTS with the boys. They have been killed, and wounded, shot at and gasc- ed. They are prepared to meet death and the savage Hun has TO terrors for them. They work like trained soldiers, cool and collected at all times, and they have saved hunderds of boys lives. They have huts and ambulances. They constantly are studying the situation to see how they can improve their labors and they do
 it without fanfare. The have cer- tainly won the hearts of every sol dier in France. I have neve: heard them criticized end it means "the hos pital' for anyone here to say anything derogatory to returned soldier about them. If America only knew the real story of what these self-sacrific- ing people do lover there' their forces in France would be four-told what they are now through the demand from the loyal United States"

and convenience of those wishing to buy cattle the department representa- tives are issuing a weekly market re- port showing the receipts, age, weight, condition, and price, also giving list of breeders who have pure-bred cat tie for sale. This movement of cat tie is supplying the increasing demand for stock in the Southeastern States and is expected to be an important fac tor in building up the beef-cattle in dustry in that section. The field az ents are making special effort to have all available roughages properly safeguarded to be utilized for feed ing purposes during the coming sea- son.

State Is Beaten
In Fight to Tax
Barbour Estate
Appellate Division Decides
That Thread Manufacture
err Was Resident of New
Jersey at Time of Death

The Appellate Division decided yes
terday that Colonel William Barbour,
thread manufacturer, who died March
/, 1917, was a resident of New Jersey
at the time of his death and not of
New York, and, therefore, this state
could not collect transfer tax on his
estate, valued at from $10,000,000 to
$20,0O0,OOO.
Besides having the immediate effect
of deprving the state of New York
of several hundred thousand dollars
in taxes from the Barbour estate, this
decision, if upheld by the Court of APP
peals, will defeat the purpose of State
Controller Travis, in having an amend
ment added to the transfer tax law in
1917, which would have put millions in
taxes in the State Treasury and under
which amended law Surrogate Cohalan
decided the Barbour case.
This amendment provided that any
person who shall have dwelt in New
York State the greater part of twelve
months preceding his or her death
shall be considered a resident of this
state.
In the case of Colonel Barbour.
whose estate Controller Travis con-
tended should be taxed here, it was
shown that in the last year of his life
he spent in New York State 235 days
and in New Jersey 1870 Gays.
The Appellate Division upheld the
contention of the executors of the Bar
bour estate that the words of the
statute merely created ".disputable
presumption" that the decedent died
resident of New York, which, however,
can be overcome by sufficient evidence
to the contrary. 1t was pointed out
that during the last years of his life
Colonel Barbour was confined to his
bed by illness much of the time.
Justice Merrell, writing the opinion
of the court, said he did not believe
the Legislature intended any such
drastic rule as that for which Con
troller Travis contended.

u. S. to Deport Anarchist

Frank r. Lopez, the carpenter anar-
chist, who for the seventeen years he
has been in America has spent his
earnings to spread the doctrines Of
Francisco Ferrer, is to be deported to
Spain. Yesterday Judge Knox in the
United States District Court dismissed
the writ of habeas corpus procured in
his behalf and he is now at Ellis Is
land waiting the pleasure of. the i'm
migration authorities.
In the papers submitted by Assistant
United States Attorney David Cahill,
Lopez is described as the secretary
treasurer of the Liberty Group" Of
philosophical anarchists and it is
charged that he is the American repre-
sentative OF the followers of Ferrer,
who maintain international headquar-
tiers at Barcelona, Spain.
Commissioner General A. Camm-
netti, Of the immigration Department,
IN approving Of the order for Lopez S
deportation, said:
"The Bureau of immigration is con-
WINGED that this man is an active an

Well Known Rialto Character
Fatally Injured When Car
Dashes Into Curb

Myles Brown, eghtyfour years old,
known along Broadway and in motion
picture circles as "the Movie Santa
Claus" because of his having por-
trayed that character, as we'll as that
&C "Uncle Sam" in many screen pro
auctions, was crushed to death in

tomoble which Joseph Whitman was
driving became unm2nageable and ran
onto the sidewalk before he could re-
gain control Brown, who lived at 513
West Forty~ffth STREET, was returning
to his home after posing for an artist

was instantaneous.
The automobile that crushed Brown
was owned by Alexander Faure, of 1873
