The supreme court this morning
denied a petition for a rehearing
in the case of the John Clark es-
tate VS.. State Treasurer Hoff in
yoIving an Interpretation of the
law of 1919 relative to inheritance
tax exemptions. The Multnomah
county circuit court had construed
the law as granting an exemption
Of $4,000 for every direct deced-
ent in computing inheritance tax
return. State Treasurer Hoff ap-
pealed to the supreme court which
in an opinion handed down several
weeks ago reversed the lower court
and held that only one exemption
of $4,000 was to be allowed on
estate, regardless Of the number
OF heirs. The estate had applied
for q rehearing Of the case which
was denied today.
While the amount involved In
the Clark estate was comparative
" small the principle involved is

Custody Of Child

Fight for the custody of Mary
Elizabeth Robbins, daughter OF
Mrs. Irene Eta Robbins-Cave and
Winwood Robbins, divorced in
1917, continued in the circuit
court this afternoon before Judge
Bingham.
According to the petition filed
by her mother, when the divorce
decree was granted to her parents
the child was given into the Gus
tody Of her aunt, Mrs. Elizabeth
Taylor, who was then a resident
of Marion county, but who later
removed to Tygh valley, Wasao
county. Since her aunt's removal
the child has been, it states, IN the
custody of her father who allowed
her mother to take her to Tygh
valley on a promise that she would
be returned in ten days.
In getting control of the child
Mrs. Robbins-Cave refused to re-
turn her and has petitioned the
court for her custody.
The divorce was granted to Mrs
Robbins in 1917 on her cross com
plant and charging inhuman
treatment. The custody of the
child was granted Mrs. Taylor en-
the stipulation of both parties, the
father agreeing to pay SIS a
month for her support.

Tariff Price
Basis Meets
Opposition

Washington, Mar. 29.-Protests
against the legislation agreed on
by the republican leaders to pro-
vide tariff taxation at American
instead of foreign valuations are
being received by members of the
senate finance and house ways
and means committees.
Those crfticising the American
valuation system contend thf
American values of merchandise
differ at Boston, New York, San
Francisco and New Orleans and
other ports of entry and that no
inflexible standards OF valuation
are feasible. The price difference
es, it is contended, would be
greater in the middle section of
the country because of the trans
portation distances from the
seaboard.
Prominent republicans Of the
congressional taxation committees
concede that there is some nIvrit
in the objections to the valua-
ton legislation but believe that
its benefits would be much great
er than any harm which would
result.

Dean of Nature Writers.
John Burroughs was the vener-
able dean of nature writers in the
United States. Through a score of
books he shared with countless
readers his lifelong intimacy with
birds, bees, flowers and the whole
out-of-doors. His highly develop
ed powers Of observation and the
charm of his interpretations were
the marvel of his critics.
He was born in 1897. In 1868
he went to Washington with some.
thing of an inclination to enlist in
the Union army, but he decided to
seek government office. 1t is re-
lated that with only a few of his
poems as credentials he walked m
to the treasury department and
asked for job. 1t was agreed
that his veneral verse really smest
of the woods, and smacked of sin
cerity. He would be a safe llan
to watch the treasury vaults. He
agreed to take the place. AT a IT.
tie desk, facing the huge iron
vault where he kept tabs on those
who went to handle the $50,O0O.-
900 stored there, he began writing
of the birds, to relieve his home
sickness. The result was his first
book, "Wake-Robin."
Business Tired Him.
Some years later, after work as
a treasury clerk and a national
bank examiner had netted him
some savings, he bought a few
acres at West Park on the Hudson,
where among the loaded trelli5es
of a vineyard he found more
pleasure than in the closets GI
There he renewed
his emotional intercourse with
nature, building a real house over

looking the river-just about
Poughkeepsie. When rural civili-
zation pressed a little close about
him, he built his ''slabsides" cabin
a mile or two back in the woods.
He did not go at his studies with
the set determination of an herbal
ist but took life easily, and wrote
breezily when the spirit moved
him of the secrets of nature. He
never made much of the discovery
of new species, and nothing of
cataloguing them, but delighted in
finding for himself and revealing
to others the charm of close con-
tact with the birds, bees and flow
ers. The essence of his philosophy
was always bright, in agreement
with Browning, that "Alrs we'll
with the world"

the warehouse contained whole-
sale grocery stock, including con-
siderable starch and flour.
That the explosion was caused
by gas or a bomb were the early
theories of the police.
The warehouse was one story
brick structure with 35 foot
frontage and about 150 feet In
length. The explosion apparently
occurred in the rear of the build
ing.
Substance was given the police
bomb theory when a percussion
cap was found in the ruins and
firemen searching the ruins were
reported to have found parts of
supposed bomb.
Searchers continued to take
from the ruins parts Of bodies.
The uper half of body so muti-
lated that 1t could not be identi-
fled was taken out and a mutilated
leg was also found and removed to
an undertaking establishment.
A branch Of the Chicago pubne
library was converted into an

nine men, women and children
were quartered there.
