shrieks for investigation. Curious per-

gracefully from a cirrus to circum-

Two States May Contest
Hanna Inheritance Tax
Doubt. of Legal Residence in
New York Is Expressed
by Ohio Officials
Special Dispatch to The Tribun,

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Dec. IL
It became known to-day that there
may be legal battle between two states
over the assessment of the inherit
ance tax ON the estate of the late Dan
Rhodes Hanna, the millionaire Cleve-
land publisher who died at his country
estate, the Croft, at Yorktown, in
Westchester County.
Although the will of Mr.. Hanna,
which gives the greater part of his
millions to his three sons, has been
filed with Surrogate Slater at White
Plains, it is said that the State of
Ohio will claim the bulk of the trans
fer taxes. The property that Mr..
Hanna had in New York State also
will be taxed at White Plains. 1t
is not definitely known whether Mr..
Hanna fixed his legal residence in
Westchcster County or Cleveland, and
for that reason it is not yet known
where the taxes will be paid.
Mr.. Hanna, previous to his death,
gave trust estates to his four daugh-
tersst and it is said that these cannot
be taxed unless they were made in
anticipation of death and to escape
the New York State Inheritance tax
law At the time Mr.. Hanna signed
his will nc was living at Stockbridge,
Mass. For third time the probate of
the will has been adjourned, until
January 13, in order that supple
mental citations may be served on
some of the Hanna heirs.

Bedtime Stories
Paddy Is Ready
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Who avell prepares for days ahead
Regards the future avithout dread.
Paddy the Beaver.

Paddy the Beaver swan out to his
food pile and carefully placed an
aspen log in it. Then he sighed, and
that sigh was sigh of relief.
"There!" said he, "Now old Jack
Frost can come as soon as he pleases
and do his worst; Pm ready for him.
There is food enough here to last
me even though he stays late next
spring. My! l was afraid he would
catch me before l had finished this
job! Yes, sir, was. l certainly was.
Now / am through and it is load
off my mind. Now all I have to do
is to see that everything else is as
it should be and then l will be ready
for winter"
Paddy swan over to his house and
climbed out on the roof. There he
rested for while. He was tired,
was Paddy. You see, he had been
working very hard, indeed, for weeks,
Paddy never does anything by halves.
When he works he works with all
his might, and he plays the same way.
After a short rest he went slowly
and carefully all over the roof of
his house. Very, very carefully he
locked at every part of it. Two or
three times he dived> to the bottom
Of his pond and brought up mud to
plaster places that didn't quite suit
him. At last he was satisfied.
81 guess if any one will be warm
and comfortable and safe this win
ter Paddy is his name," he chuckled.
"When Jack Frost freezes this pond
he will freeze the mud on this roof,
and then when Yowler the Bob Cat
comes sneaking over here on the ice
he can wear his claws off trying to
tear this open without worrying me
in the least. Now I'll have a look at
the DAM
Paddy swan over to his dam. Ever
more carefully than he had looked
over his house he now went over
his dam. From end to end on both
sides, above water and balow, he
looked it over. He added few
sticks here and there. He brought
up mud and put it whsre he thought
it was needed. He was tired, for he
had been working hard for weeks,
but he didn't let being tired inter-
fere with the thoroughness of his
looking over of that dam. AS he
worked he talked to himself.
"There mustn't be any weakness
in this dam. Everything / havs, even
my life, depends ON this. / can't be
too careful. 1t never pays to take
chances. If there should be weak
place in this dam. and it should

break, the water would run out Of
my pond and then I would be in a
pretty mess. My enemies could get
to me and I should be worried to
death all the time. A little care and
work now may save me great deal
of work and worry by and by. l
declare, don't know what to think
of people who never look ahead and
prepare for the future, but live just
day to day.
"It isn't necessary to worry about
the future. That is foolish. | never
do that. No, sir, never do that.
But don't believe in letting the
future bring any worries with it,
that is, any that can be avoided. And
q, lot can be avoided by the WISE
Now, Peter Rabbit never knows where
his next meal is coming from. No,
sir, ne doesn't. But l know where
my next meal is coming from, and
the next and the next and the next
and the next and all the nexts until
spring comes again. Peter will 20
hungry many times, but l won't. He
has been playing about and having
good time while I have been work
ing, but by and by he will be worry
ing and spending most of his time
hunting for something to eat while
| will be taking things easy with
nothing to worry me. And it will be
because l had sense enough to look
ahead"
Once more he went the length of
his dam. Then he slipped into the
water and headed for his house.
"Now I'm ready for winter" said he
as he dived for the underwater en-
trance to his house

''Einstein Theory Leads Merry
Life i'm Humorists' Exhibition
Low-Brow Dancer i'm Fourth Dmensional Draperies
Effective Interpreter of High-Brow Philosophy;
And ''Mona the Mouse-Faced '-Whew!

If there is anything funnier than
"The Einstein Theory Explained" by
Alfred Frueh, in the humorists' exhi-
bition at the National Arts Club
in Gramercy Park, it's "Mona, the
Mouse-Faced Girl" from the pen of
A. Garfield Learned. The portrait
of Mona is funny because it's so sad
which might be said, more in admira-
tion than not, of any number of the 317
drawings, cartoons, oils, paper and
wooden statuary and fgurines on view
in the clubs galleries.
There probably is a Mona among
your acquaintances. She is a blonde
and her hair-do accentuates mousy
profile eliminating in nose fasci-
mating the beholder into the belief that
if he stands before it long enough he'll
catch it quivering as the mouse's nose
does when he detects & drift of Cam
embert from the pantry shelf. Mona's
nose is SO sensitive that she'd probably
burst right into tears if she were
caught poking it into anybody's
business.
There's nothing sad, however, about
Mr.. Frueh's masterpiece, unless it be
the lack of respect of the man who con-
ceived it for what have been believed
to be the serious things of life. When
one can be so irreverent as to poke
such fun at SO altogether grave sub
ject, what is there left to be in awe Of
"The Einstein Theory Explained" is
wordless series of eight or ten panels
depicting nothing more than the gyra-
tions of dancer clad in fourth dimen-
sional draperies. The gyrations and
the draperies are interpretative both
of the theory and of the artists grasp
of it. You see in an instant Mr..
Frueh understands his subject and ap-
preciate that he is able to convey this
understanding to the eye of the for
tunate spectator.
There is no end Of entertainment in
the exhibition for those brave enough
to dare the forbidding looking entrance
of the old clubhouse. Ted Greacen, for
instance. has provided in "The Frisco
Jazz Band" an amusing diversion that
would cost at least a nickel at Coney
Island.
The figures of the players, cut from
cardboard, are encased in q glass box
provided with handle, which, when
turned as per instructions, causes the

Man Held in Collection
Of Russian Relief Fund
Checks Delivered to Wrong Ad-
dress Lead to Arrest; Raised
$4,000. Police Saw

Charles F. Kline, thirty-six years old,
of sos Lenox Avenue, awaits arraign-
ment on charge of felony based upon
his alleged solicitation of funds for a
"Russian- krainian Relief Committee" !"
He has, according to the police, collected
in the last year more than $4,000 on
his representations of the terrible plight
OF the Slav sufferers and their need for
assistance.
The police said that Kline was arrest
ed last Saturday night as he was leav-
ing theater with a woman. His ar
rest came about as the result of an in
vestigation begun after mystifed
physician, with an office at 242 West
Thirty-eighth Street, had come to Po-
lice Headquarters with checks totaling
several hundreds of dollars made paya-
Bile to the Russian Ukrainian Relief
Committee" which had been delivered
by mistake at his office. Circulars ac-
companied the contributions, and it was
by means of these, so the police say,
that Kline was apprehended.
