INHERITANCE LAW TO STAND
Iowa Will Not Change Statute Be
came of Foreign Treatiei.
INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
General Bnaaer Is Looking t'n
Records et Cavalry Troop that
Saved Iowa from Inva
sion. (From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, July 18. (Special.) Iowa
will not change lta law regarding In
heritances, at least for the present. In the
collection of the 10 per cent additional on
Inheritances going to foreign countries the
state haa run up against some of the
treaties between the United Statea and
foreign countries, but Iowa la atandlng pat
on lta Inheritance tax.
Some montha ago the State department
at Washington took up with Governor
Cummina the question and claimed that
Iowa's law was a violation of the treaties
in that it charged 20 per cent more on In
heritances when the money went to aliens
than when It went to citizens of the United
States. Governor Cummins studied the
matter somewhat and decided that thla
was the case and waa about to reoommend
a modification of the law. Thla waa In
the cloalng daya of hla administration.
When Governor Garst came Into office
the matter waa presented to him. A fur
ther investigation waa made. Qulncy Willis,
deputy state treasurer, dug into the matter
and the result haa been that trie state has
come to the conclusion that lta inheritance
tax law does not conflict with all the
treaties and It will continue to charge the
10 cents extra except where It does con
fllot With a treaty. Germany and France
are about the only cases where there Is a
conflict.
The conflict was claimed on the ground
that a discrimination was made In favor
of the American citizen as against the
citizen of the country with which the treaty
Is made. The claim of Iowa Is that the
tax Is only on estates of citizens of Iowa
and the tax Is on the estate and hence the
state can collect more from that whloh
goes to a foreign country. In the case of
Germany the law la more specifically
worded and In that case the tax cannot be
collected
History of Third Cavalry.
General Cyrus Bussey, one time assistant
secretary of the Interior, la In Dea Moines
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Isaac
Hlllls. He la very anxious to get some
facts regarding the organization of the
Third Iowa cavalry in the soldiers' roster
which Is being prepared by the adjutant
general's office. There la a discrepancy
between the claims c General Bussey and
the department, which Colonel Crossley,
editor of the roster, is trying to adjust and
harmonize.
General Bussey was the organizer of the
regiment. During the early days of the
civil war it became evident that there
would be attempted an Invasion of Iowa
soil by the confederates from Missouri.
General Bussey was then military aide to
Governor Klrkwood. He went to St. Louis
and tried to get General Fremont to give
him 1,000 standa of arms and 60,000 rounds
of ammunition. General Fremont said he
didn't have the arma and couldn't see what
good the ammunition would do without the
guns. Bussey Insisted and finally got the
ammunition. On his way back he found
at Keokuk l.SW 'stands of arms oh their
way to Grenvllle M. Dodge at Council
Bluffa. Though without a spark of au
thority to do eo, he took the arma and
armed hla cavalry and participated In the
skirmish during which the confederates
from the Missouri side of the Des Moines
river fired over into Iowa soli. They were
prevented from crossing and the Invasion
was frustrated. It was the only time con
federate bullets struck Iowa soil.
The soldiers' roeter, when It appears, will
disclose the fact that Iowa troops helped
General Phil Sheridan to fame. He was
sent out with 300 or 400 Iowa men and
about the same number of Michigan men to
reconnolter. He soon found advancing a
troop of 2,600 confederates. Instead of re
treating to camp aa ordered he gave battle
and whipped the confederates, and then re
turned and reported his battle. It was thua
that Iowa troopa gave blm hla first atart
toward fame.
Drainage Work Poor.
The drainage work done In the northern
part of Iowa and on which ao many hun
dreds of thousands of dollars haa been apent
In the hope of reclaiming the swamp land
there, must, much of it, be done all over
again. While Garst was In the governor's
chair "Billy" Given, superintendent of the
Roek Island railroad, in the northern part
of the state, called upon him to ask that
he call a drainage congress in the northern
part of the state, in the hopea that the
problem could be solved. He represented,
and It was subsequently found to be true,
that many of the drainage ditches have
not been properly constructed and they
do not properly drain the land. Many of
them are not low enough and the engineers
who made the surveys were not familiar
with drainage work. Secretary Wilson haa
signified his willingness to attend and bring
drainage engineering experts who will ad
vise what to do. A small gathering was
held at Ames last winter, but little waa
done at it. however. It Is probable that
another will be called at an early date to
consider the matter more fully.
No Lumber Famine,
State Horticulturist Wesley Greene says
there is no danger of a lumber famine such
as is being pictured. He believes, too, that
people who rush to California and other
places in the hope of making big fortunes
In a few years raising eucalyptus trees for
lumber had better take a second thought.
"They can make some money," aald Mr.
Greene, "but the question Is whether they
could not make more raising something
else. Furthermore, they can grow Just as
much lumber right here in Iowa with ea
talpa. There are the finest kind of oak
forests In Iowa, today whloh the owners
would be glad to give away If they were
removed from the ground ao that they could
till It . There la some money In growing
lumber now, but not enough, and nothing
like aa much aa la represented. When It
becomes profitable people will raise lum
ber. Many different kinds of trees can be
grown in twenty or twenty-five years that
will produce much lumber In that time. It
Is not a question of getting trees that will
produce lumber within the lifetime of the
man who plants them, but a question aolely
of the profits to be derived."
Hotel Men Have Week.
Lafayette Hlggtna, engineer of the State
Board of Health, haa appointed some as
sistants, with the consent of the board. He
will give the hotel men one more week In
which to comply with the new state law,
and will then atart hla Inapeotoia out on
the road to make Inspection. It is ex
pected that the hotel men will not comply
and that there will be a test In the courts.

AMATEUR FLYER IS INJURED
Alexander Williams Seriously Hurt
in Curtiss Aeroplane.
MACHINE IS BADLY WRECKED
Operator Una Caae of Stage Frla-ht
and Loses Control of It Soon
After It "tarts Sharply
Upward.
NEW YORK, July 18. A frightened ama
teur, sitting like a wooden man went up at
dawn today In Glenn Curtiss" aeroplane,
which hovered a moment in . mtdalr and
then crashed to earth. The beautiful craft
In which Curtiss made his flight yester
day waa badly wrecked. When the wouldbe
aviator was lifted from the twisted frame,
ha was delirious, his left arm broken, his
left thumb dislocated and his body badly
bruised. Ills injuries, however, are not
serious.
The accident occurred on Hempstead
plain, Mlneola, whore Curtlsa haa been
giving demonstrations for the New York
Aeronautic soclty, to which he recently
sold his aeroplane for $5,000. It was a
member of the society, Alexander Wil
liams, 42 years old, who waa Injured.
While Williams had driven many an
automobile, la familiar with gas engines
and Is somewhat of a machinist, he seemed
to lose complete control of himself as the
aeroplane soared upward and when It had
attained a height of thirty feet the craft
careened sharply to the light, swooped
toward the earth and striking on end,
turned completely over, then rolled on
lta back. Williams remained pinned, In
hla aeat until lifted out. Aa a physician
bent over him, Williams In hla delirium.
muttered that some one had collided with
him In the air.
Two Snceeaafnl Fllarhta.
Witnesses of the accident say It waa
merely a case of a man attempting some
thing which taxes the nerves, the body
and the brain simultaneously and that
Williams simply had stage fright. His at
tempted flight followed a auccessful one
made by Edward Foater Wlllard of New
York City, also a member of the Aeronau
tic society, who remained In the air for
28 seconds, making a short flight at an
average height of twenty feet. Curtiss
then took the machine and made a beauti
ful flight back to the starting point, cut
ting several sharp turns and ascending at
one time for more than 100 feet, then
shooting swiftly downward until he waa
only thirty feet above the earth. The wit
nesses of this bird-like drop, among them
A. M. Herring, himself an aeroplanlst of
note, say that it was extremely spec
tacular.
Wllllama la Nervoua.
Arrived at the starting point, Williams
took his aeat In the machine and with a
parting word of caution to keep It close
to the ground, started away. He had pre.
vlously matched coins with Wlllard to de
clde who ahould make the flrat flight.
During thla he evinced auch nervousness
that a member of the party remarked
that perhaps he had better not attempt
to ascend.' For some reason, however, lit
tle attention was paid to the Incident
The aeroplane glided swiftly over the
ground on lta running wheela, then aoared
gracefully upward. Wllllama eat appar
