but Rep. Rainey, ranking democrat
on the committee, announced today
that he would make a fight on the
floor TO have those on estates Of
over 100000 radically increased.
There is an original exemption Of
$4,000 and the taxes thereafter fol-
low: Six percent on proportion OF
inheritance between $50. 600 and
$15O,OOO; nine percent between
$4,000 and $250,OO0; y percent

These estate taxes may seriously
interfere with similar state taxes

stand for clean sport and nothing can
be substituted. This was demonstrated
: last night at the Central Athletic
club following the match between
Jack Collins, the Greek Demon, and
Gorilla Parrelli, the Italian Bone
Breaker. The latter named was billed
the bone breaker but as the match
turned out Jack Collins was the bone
breaker and Parelli the one with the
broken bones
Collins won the last two falls of the
match by use of the toe hold in seven
teen minutes, each, after Parrelli had
gained the first fall in fifty six minutes
by. means of double crotch
hold. This fail was not secured until
both men had offered the crowd one
of the fastest wrestling seen here for
some time.
1t was the toe hold which caused
the comment of the fans and promo
ters alike and George Herbert an
nounced that in future matches put
on at the club would not carry either
the strangle or toe hold.
Colonel Percy rTawes, one of the
oldest members of the club. and who
has followed atheietics for the past
decade stated that he was an advo-
cate OF clean sport and a member of

and toehold be barred in future
