After the Non-Taxable

The federal treasury department i:
said to have a new plan for getting al
securities which are exempt from the
income tax. The idea is to impose
heavier taxes on inheritances which
are in the form of tax-exempt securi-
ties.
This. it is believed, would not only
increase the governments revenue but
would drive big fortunes once more
into constructive enterprise. The plan
is inspired by the fact that large in
hcritanccs nowadays are usually found
to consist mainly OF untaxed bonds.
1t may be good suggestion. At
any rate, it is worth discussing, in
view of the general dissatisfaction with
system which makes so many large
fortunes virtually immune from bear
ing their share of public expense. Yet
II serves once more to call attention
to the inquiry. made often by reput-
able lawyers, as to why the govern
ment does not make serious effort
to apply the present income tax to all
state and municipal bonds. inasmuch
as the Income-tax amendment to the
constitution provides that the federal
government may tax incomes from
whatever source derived"

mystery of the visit of yelled young
woman and a small boy to the house
where the dead man was laid out for
burial. The young woman had, lifted the
little fellow so that he could look upon
the face of the dead. Then, silently, the
pair withdrew from the premises.
"Who is she?" mourners at the bier
had asked. "And who's the boy?"
The boy, as that leading clause in the
will indicated, was George Hope Luyties,
son of Herman, ST., and half-brother of
Herman, Jr.
"But have no brother" declared the
latter. 81 am my fathers only child.''
Nevertheless, in his will, the rich manu-
facturer clearly set forth that George
Hope Luyties was his son. He bequeathed
to each of his two sons an equal share in
the estate after certain minor bequests'
had been deducted.
Still another mysterious incident took
place at the bier. Shortly after removal
of the body from the hospital a young
woman appeared at the Luyties home and
encountered Miss Marie Adds, a beauti-
full girl of twenty-four, who lived with
her mother at No. 4125 Lindell Boule-
ward. Miss Adds was one of the princi-
pal mourners. She was the fiancee of the
deceased. who since 1912 had been grass
widower. Luyties willed her $4,000.
When she was grieving over the bier of
her fance the other young woman ap-
preached her and said:
"You must leave this house at once l
must be left alone with my dead"
Then. sobbing, she knelt beside the cas-
ket. Miss Adds, apparently having
knowledge of certain episodes in the past
career of Luyties, retired for the time
being, leaving the other woman alone with
the dead Of both Of them; though the iden-
tity OF the niourner who thus gave orders

Finally the young grass widow and
mother of child born in wedlock but
not her husbands met young Giles in st.
Louis, and the youth of twenty-five fell
in love with her. He understood that
her little boy, then living at the Luyties
home with his grandmother, was the. son
of her ex-husband
Miss Marie Adds, who mourned about
the coffin of the dead man, was his iance.
Miss Adds is very broad minded young
woman, and was willing to take Luyties
with all his faults. Speaking quite freely
about her engagement to Mr.. Luyties,
Miss Adds said:
II met Mr.. Luyties at party about
year ago. Shortly afterward he asked me
to become his wife. consented, and we
me all about MS various loves, and for
gave him. We were happy in each others
love. Since our betrothal he had lived
more quietly and simply, contented with
his small circle of friends here in st.
Louis.
"Mr. Luyties always acknowledged the
parentage of George Hope Luyties. Miss
Claire Lademan, who under the terms of
the will is to receive the income from the
one-half of the estate bequeathed to their
son, until he is twenty-five, went to Mil
waukee in 1915 and entered into a mar
riage that was mot of love with Leonard
J. Keefe. A few months later a separa-
ton took place. Keefe divorced his wife.
George Hope Luyties was born after the
separation, but before the divorce.
"In April, 1920, Miss Lademan and
Neville D. Giles, young salesman of st.
Louis, were married in Kansas City and
went to live at Ocean Park, near Los
Angeles, CAL They returned to st. Louis
shortly before Mr.. Luyties died. George
Hope Lnyties always had lived at the Luy-
ties home as the acknowledged son of
Herman c. G. Luyties."
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-02-18

that time Mrs. Luyties was in New York
When, in the November of 1911, Mrs
Luyties filed her suit for divorce, she
alleged amongst other things that her
husband perferred the companionship of
other women to hers to such an extent
that his actions had become subject of
comment with the public and the press.
Shortly after Mrs. Traunmiller got her
divorce and resumed her maiden name she
became housekeeper for Luyties in the
Portland place mansion in st. Louis Her
daughter Claire, also known as Lademan
instead of Traunmiller, lived in the
Luyties home with her mother for some
time She was eighteen years old when
she married Keefe. The following year
Mrs Keefe, being separated from her
husband, travelled in Europe with her
mother. In one of the European countries
Luyties met them and the three travelled
together.
Though the girl had not then been
divorced from keefe, Luyties is under
stood to have proposed marriage. She and
Luyties toured Europe extensively in
company. On the 21st of January, 1915,
George Hope Luyties was born to her.
That was more than year before Keefe'
divorced her. Mrs. Keefe, after the
divorce, took the name of Miss Claire A.
Lademan.
Miss Lademan importuned Luyties to
make good his promise of marriage.
: "You know you promised to make me
your wife," she said to him, "and now
that am single again want you to make
good"
"The fact is, Claire" said Luyties, 'T
am in serious financial trouble and we
must wait until my affairs are more
favorable"
Repeatedly he put Of the marriage,
always mentioning financial troubles.

to the acknowledged fiance of the dead
man seems never to have been divulged
to the public. She was simply one of the
other women, of whom there was a-plenty
and to spare.
Nine years before his death Mrs. Luyr
ties, who was Miss May Carlin, of a we'll
known st. Louis family, divorced him be-
cause of his associations with other
women. Since then she has lived on a
ranch near Morrison, Col.
Day by day, in every way, after the
funeral, the life story of Luyties, the big
hearted admirer of all women, grew bet
ter and better from the viewpoint of one
who seeks amusing episodes in biographi-
cal detail. Hardly an element of the
bizarre was missing. AS the unusual tale
unfolded, it became evident that out in
Bellefontaine sleeping the final sleep lay
a man who through two decades of the
twentieth century''s early period had lived
the life of one such as those whom Honore
de BalZac portrayed in his many-paged
romances built around the intimate
careers of devotees of cup and kiss in the
early nineteenth century-and in France
instead of in Missouri.
The introduction of George Hope Luy-
ties as son fully acknowledged, and the
altogether extraordinary provision in the
Will for the costly chapeling and pedestal
ing of the statue at the grave, served to
stimulate public interest in the private
affairs of the. deceased dispenser of
beauty-parlor preparations.
ST. Louis newspapers in February,
1907, published dispatches from points in
New Mexico and Arizona to the effect
that Luyties and. a woman companion.
recognized by st. Louisans as Mrs.
Traunmiller, were travelling together and
had registered at hotel in Phoenix.

In his will the millionaire made ample
provision to make sure that not only the
statue be properly established over his
grave, but that fund should be created
to properly care for it through the CEN
turtles to come.
Not long ago Luyties died, and three
carloads of granite were used in making
the marble figures resting place at a cost
of $4,000.
1t is said that Luyties got his idea for
his statue from curious old painting
which he saw when in Italy, called "The
Death of the Unrepentant Man" Here
Luyties observed the dying man being
pulled away into eternity by the evil ones
with horns and tails, and as the wicked
man goes he looks longingly back upon
the picture of one of his lady loves, evil
IDENTIFY wishing he could take it along with
him into the next world.
It is said that Mr.. Luyties was much
impressed with this crude old painting
and appreciated the feelings of the dying
man In the picture. From this, it is said,
sprang. the Inspiration in LuWies's head
to place the form and figure of the most
exduisitely beautiful woman he had ever
known in perpetual companionship near
him on his grave.
After Mr.. Lnytieg had been buried the
win was read and an unpleasant surprise
developed.
The chief relative was Herman C. G.
Luyties, ,Jr., who believed himself to be
his fathers only SON. There was, how
ever, another relative. a boy of seven
wears, who was taken to see the sick man
shortly before the end. But not until the
win was read did Herman Luyties, Jr.,
suspect that he had . half brother-the
mysterious little seven-year-old boy.

Mr.. Luyties, said Miss Adds, when
explaining the parentage Of the boy, was
terribly misjudged He lived on an
elaborate scale and was fond Of gaietyo
and frivolity. He had been host Of MANY &
gay parties at his home, and also st my nv
home. His circle Of friends was small,
but very devoted. 1saaaa
Mrs. Lademan, or TraunniiIler, was not
the only woman who lived at the LuytieS
residence In the Summer Of 1915 Mrs
Kathleen e. Gowdy, widow, filed suit
against Luyties for $25O,OOO alleging
breach Of promise The suit disclosed
the fact that she had been in Luyties
home, but that other women were hecklina
