SON FIGHTS ESTATE VALUE.
Transfer Tax Decision I'm Dos Pas
SOS Case Questioned.

An appeal against the valuation placed
on the estate of John r. Dos Passos by
the State transfer tax officials was filed
Yesterday by the executors. represented
by Carlos F. Dos Passos. who is also one
OF the principal legatees, in the Surro-
gates court.
In his n2oXiSC papers los PassGak ,ated
the officials appraised the value of stock
Of the English American Mining Com
nany in excess of $4,000 Of its true
worth and also placed high valuation
on stock held by tho estate in two rail-
way companies. Debts of 100000 paid
from the estate, which the petitioner says
we're proper deductions from the State
tax, we're not allowed by the appraiser
and only 5000 was allowed for attor-
neys fees and administration expenses
while Dos Passos alleges $4,000 will
hardly be adequate to meet these items.
The date for the argument on the appeal
has not yet been fixed.

In speech last night before a meet
ing in the Andrews Methodist Church In
Brooklyn william II. Anderson, state
superintendent Of the Antf-Saloon
League, declared that the prohibition
amendment did not infringe upon re-
ligious liberty and that the legislation

especially provides fpr the manufacture
Of wine for sacramental purposes. He
made public also a letter which George
w. Crabbe, head of the league for Mary
land, recently received from Cardinal
Gibbons after a previous statement by
the Cardinal had given rise to the i'm
preston that prohibition infringed upon
religious liberty. The Cardinals letter
says:

airy 81 I beg to say that my record
as an American citizen is sufficient
