Death Taxes
Permissible

Washington, May 29.-(AP)-The
Supreme Court ruled today that
death taxes may be imposed on in
tangible property (securities) both
by state in which the deceased per
son had his domicile and by other
states in which the property was
located,
This five-to-four ruling was de-
livered in two cases by Justice
Stone. The litigation directly in
volved controversies between New
York and Colorado and between
Alabama and Tennessee.
"It is undeniable," Justice Stone
said, 'that the state of domicile is
not deprived by the taxpayers ac-
tivities elsewhere of its constitu-
tional jurisdiction to tax, and con-
sequently that there are many cir
cilmstances in which more than one
state may have jurisdiction to i'm
pose tax and measure it by some
or all of the tax payers intangib1es."
Lawyers who studied the ruling
sought to determine whether they
had any bearing on the dispute be-
tween Massachusetts, Florida, New
York and Texas over their right to
tax the $36,137, 1886 estate left by
Colonel Edward Green, son of the
famous Hetty Green. In decision
on March 13, the court held that
MASSACHUSETTS was Greene's legal
dOmicile.

Washington, May 29.-(AP)-For-
mer President Herbert Hoover as de-
scribed by intimates here today as
working quietly to line up a large
block of non-instructed delegates to
the Republican convention next year.
In recent talks with Republican
leaders over the country, it was said,
Mr.. Hoover repeatedly has made two
suggestions-tha Republicans pick a
candidate who will wage an uncom-
promising fight against the New Deal,
and that State delegations go to the
convention uninstructed.
Mr.. Hoover has said that he him
self is not a candidate for the preSi-
Dental nomination, and that he is
not working in behalf of any can
didate.
Persons in a position to know said
the former Presidents principal de-
sire was to command sufficient con-
vention strength to enable him to
play a major role in selection of the
nominee, and in drafting the party
platform.
MIR. Hoover was reported to feel
that there should be no effort by Re-
publicans to "beat the New Deal at
its own game" but that the cam
paign should center on a direct at
tack against the present administra-
TONS program. 1t was said author
itatively that he probably would op-
pose the candidacy of any individual
who did not share his fundamental
political philosophy.
MIR. Hoover recently visited
Thomas E. Dewey, of New York, but
reports were. that he merely sound
ed out the prosecutors basic political
views, and made no commitments re-
garding the stand he will take when
candidate-picking. time comes.

Embargo On

American Ships from

Proposal Enhances
Chances for Pittman's
Own Measure To Be
Passed

Washington, May 29.-(AP)-
Chairman Pittman, Democrat, Ne
vada, said today he thought a ma
Jerity Of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee would favor Sec
retary Hull's proposals for over
hauling the existing neutrality act.
Among other things, Hull propos-
ed Saturday that the existing arms
embargo provision be repealed, and
that American ships be prohibited
from travelling into combat areas
during wartime. Criticisms of Hulls
proposals, also developed on Capitol
Hill, and many legislators express
ed belief that showdown on neu-
trality legislation might be deferred
until next year. -
Representative Bloom, Democrat,
New York, has embodied Hull's pro-
posal in a bill, but some members
said that even if the House passes
it, prolonged Senate debate would
run the session too far into the sum-
mer. Pittman said he thought HulPs

own measure to eliminate the pres

ton known, had substantially in

Traffic Toll
Trend Higher
During April

Chicago, May 29.-(AP)-Amer-
ica's sustained traffic safety record
was given a setback by careless driv-
ing and walking on rural highways
during April, the National Safety
Council reported today. The April
death total was 2,210, compared with
$3.50 in April of 1888 The safety
records, which during the preceding
II months always showed at least a
nine percent improvement, fell to a
net improvement of only two percent.
While fatal accidents in cities de-
creased nine percent during April
from the same month year ago, a
three percent advance in deaths on
the rural highways cut the net i'm
provement to only two percent.
The council said the estimated re-
duction of only 40 deaths is SO slight
that it could be wiped out by un-
favorable records in a majority of the
ten states still unreported for the
month.
Despite the poor April showing,
the first four months of 1899 show
ed $40 fewer lives lost than in the
corresponding period year ago, or
a drop of nine percent The four
month totals were: For 1889, $500,
and for 1888, 9,47O.
Motor vehicle mileage for the first
three months of this year increased
four percent over the corresponding
period of 1888 which made this years
mileage death rate only lis, or Is
percent below the 1888 rate of 1876.

Announcement

Washington, May 9-(AP)-Sen-
stor Arthur H. Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, Michigan, announced today he
would seek reelection to the Senate
III 1910, but added that eff there are
subsequent responsibilities of a
broader nature, shall meet them
to the best of my ability"
Vandenberg's statement was made
in a letter replying to a request
from Michigan Republican officials
that he be drafted for the party's
presidential nomination next year.
Fandenberg's Senate term expires
in 1941, and thus he would have to
choose between seeking reelection
to the Senate and running for the
presidency
said the next Republican conven-
ton must first set down clean-cut,
conservative, courageous principles,
which dependably promise to save
the American system of free enter
prise under the renewed spirit of
constitutional democracy and to re-
capture prosperity for our whole
people, under government restor-
ed to solvency."
"Then, it should fit its nomina-
tions to its principles" the senator
said.
He added that the convention
should strive "to create common
ground upon which all like thinkers
may unite to produce an admins
tratiOn for all Americans"

Canal Locks
Vote Called
For Senate

Washington, May 29.-(AP)--Af-
ter passing legislation today author
izing a third set of locks for the
Panama Canal costing $277, 100000,
the Senate reconsidered It's action
and agreed to take up the measure
again on Wednesday.
The measure, sponsored by Sena-
tor Clark, Democrat Missouri, pro-
vides that the initial appropriation
for the work may not exceed $15,-
100000 for the fiscal year beginning
July 1.
The committee on inter-ocean- ca
mails reported that a third set of
locks in the canal was not Immediate
ly necessary from a commercial
standpoint, but that the improve
ment now can well be justified as
a matter of prudent expenditure for
the canal as commercial enterprise.
From the standpoint of national de-
fense, the committee added, "the ex-
ira lock will make our present great
artery safe from attack for many
years to come"
