INHERITANCE
ACT IN COURT
Question as to Undistributed

Columbia. April l3-.J Edwin
BclSer. administrators Of the estate
Of the late John f.. Lowry. and
also Melton e Bclser. attorneys for
the administrators. yesterday carried
the recent inheritance tax act to
the supreme court on q petition
for q writ OF injunction against the
South Carolina tax commission
from forcing Ny. Belscr TO appear
before the coin mission with all the
records OF the Lowry cS,ate SO the
commission could determine what
tax the state is due, ii any.
Mr.. Belser presented his petition
for 4 writ OF injunction. praying
that the cOurt assume original
Jurisdiction Of the case The court.
il was announced late in the after
noon. took the petition under ad :
viSernenl, but had not issued an or
der or injunction rs prayed for.
Action may be taken today.
Some time ago the tax commits
sion summoned Mr. BelSer as ad-
miniStrator Of the estate OF John
T.. Lowry TO Appear April y and
present all facts in regard TO the
Lowry estate. Mr.. Eelscr IS con-
testing this summons On the
grounds that Mr.. Lowry died be-
fore the inh haritance tax was ef-
fective and that the act is NOT
retroactive.
The main question at issue is
whether or not the act effects es-
tates in the process OF settlement
ar the time Of its passage. This is
n vital point in the act and the
tax commission is anxious TO get Il
decision on the point. Nh Eclscr
contends that the act does not ct
feet estates in the process OF dis
tribution a, the time the ac: was
signed by the governor, February
80. and therefore that the Low
ry property is not subject to the
tax al all Mr.. Lowry died in

sented by Mr.. Bclser an order viii
probably be issued directing the

the injunction prayed for by The
petitioner. Mr.. Belser, should not

PHONE RATE
LITIGATION
Gsv. Cooper Requested to Em-
ploy Special Counsel to AS
sist Attorney General

Columbia. April Ex-Governor
Cooper has been requested by
citizens OF Greenville and other
parts OF the Piedmont section to
employ special counsel to cooper
ate with the attorney generals Of
flee in handling the states side Of
the telephone rate case, which is to
come before United States Judge
II. a. NJ. Smith, in Charleston on
April 24 Whether the governo:
will secure additional counsel l.
not known, as the chief executive
has announced no plans in this di-
rection.
The governor referred the re-
quest for the extra lawyers 10 the
attorney generals Office. but thai
official has no money allowed for
extra attorneys. The governor has
no such fund, either, unless the
state contingent committee would
approve Of the Use OF part Of the
contingent fund for the purpose.
This would probably meet with
some opposition.
Assistant Attorney General JOHN
NJ. Daniel Will so TO Charleston
to represent the state in the case.
II is also understood that several
| lawyers will attend the hearing Of
the case, as representatives of the
telephone subscribers. Several law
yerS have asked the attorney gen
eral if he had objection to their
participation in the case, and the
attorney general has agreed that
these shall participate. with the un-
derstandinG that the state has 40
funds 10 reimburse them for their
services.
1t is not known what arguments
the state will raise in defending
the recent act Of the legislature to
reduce telephone rates. The first
question to be settled by the court
Will probably be that OF jurisdic-
ton.
The telephone rate case is the
sequel 10 the enactment by the
recent legislature of q law rrovid-
ing for the operation OF the same
telephone rates as were in effect
January !, 1927. prior to the rate
increase authorized by the railroad
commission. The act was signed
by the governor last month, and
within a few days e@telephone
company instituted injunction pro-
ceedings TO stop the attorney gem
eral and the railroad commission
from putting them into effect.
Judge Smith has fixed April 24 as
date for the hearing.

NAVAL BUDGET
BEFORE HOUSE
Battle in Congress Over Nav

Washington. April l2.-Thc 1872 I
naval budget ran through the hos
tile waters in the house today.
AS the weary end OF The solid
hours Of debate was reached to-
night, with less than a corpora
guard on the floor. the air was
filled with claims by leaders OPP
posed 20 the bills provision fol
an enlisted force OF $1,000. thai
votes enough had been pledged to
beat it.
This prediction. coupled With
violent attacks on the measure
took the edge off Chairman kel-
ley's smile. ard once or twice he
put on his fighting clothes Time
and again the chairman broadly
charged that back Of the movement
for q bigger navy was the desire
OF members from navy yard dis
trictS 70 increase the total appro-
priation so that The activities OF
these establishments might not be
curtailed.
Suggestions from some sources
that the committee add q little to
its personnel strength were cast
aside by Chairman Kelley With the
declaration that the bill had to
stand Or fan as reported. and that
if the enlisted strength figure was
raised 10 $4,000 there would be a
record vote in the house.
Most of the speeches today were
against the bill. Representative Nc
Arthur. OF Oregon. Republican
member OF the naval committee, in
announcing that be would offer an
amendment providing for $4,000
men. told the house ii ought moi
TO shift the responsibility OF writ
ing the bill to The shoulders Of the
senate.
There was constant sQaahble
over the enlisted strength OF the
British and Japanese navies, the
statement being repeatedly made
and denied that their figures We're
greater than those allotted tbs
American navy under the bill. Rep
resen,a,ive Rogers, Republican
Massachusetts, intimated that The
committee had obtained lis e:sti-
mates from the british embassy
here.
Asked by Mr. Rogers e he had
been lin direct personal contact
with the British and Japanese en-
bassieS,' Chairman Kelley said he
would refuse TO answer any such
question.
The measure Will be taken up to-
morrow for consideration. item. by
item. and if there is smooth sailing
and not toe ouch tive-minute de-
bate vote On amendment TO the
personnel section may be reached
late in the day. The first vote will
be on. the proposal TO make the
total $1,000 unless somebody steps
in with a move TO split the diff
ference between that total and the
committee figure OF $4,000.
Mr. Macarthur said tonight 1914
members had given pledge to sup
port his amendment. TeleerariS

members from eastern states alb
