The appeal of the executors of the estate of Lena McMullen of Fairfield to the supreme court of the state on the constitutionality of the penalty tax one states for which no taxes were paid in the year prior to the death of the decedent, was denied in an opinton handed down last week on the grounds that even though a penalty of 2 per cent. is levied in such cases It does not place the matter in the eriminal class, but is more a collec tion of back taxes. Lena McMullen died in the town of Fairfield in 1919. The Banker's Trust of New York and John McMullen, her husband, as the executors the estate, appealed to the supreme court which heard the case New Haven January 18 and 19 this year. In their appeal the executors of the estate attacked the constitutionality of the so-called penalty tax embodied it.

sections 1189-95 of the general stututer, revision of 1918 The penalty tax provision calls for a tax of 2 cent. a year (not to exceed five years) on the property of a deceased within a year In death of the decedent no legally due city or state taxes had been paid on the property. The executors attacked the law on the ground that both the law and its retroactive feature were unconstitutional. The defense of the state was that the law and the retroactive features were constitutional. Assistant Tax Commissioner Holcomb, in charge of the Inheritance tax division of the tax commissionera department, and William E.

Egan of this city argued the case for the state. OBITUARY. (An time mentioned in "The Courant" is standard time.) James W. Hale. James W.

PRAISE FOR DEAD OF 101ST M. G. BIN. Dr. Miel Conducts Memorial Service For Those Who Fell in France.

"IT IS PEACE THE DEAD FOUGHT FOR" Says German War Machine Broke Because It Was Soulless System. you had hoped for, all you had, you gave To save mankind--yourselves you scorned to These lines are from the hymn "The Supreme Sacrifice," sung as the recessional at the memorial service of the 101st Machine Gun Battalion In Trinity Church last evening, and their theme was a thought in the address made by Rev. Ernest deF. Miel, rector of the church, whose work in the American Red Cross in France took him at times to the battalion. Leaning out from the pulpit and talking to men of the battalion massed at the head of the center aisle, Dr.

Miel recognition of what was done by our gallant lads who fell in France, we who live are to make. ourselves better men. How splendid was their life, how splendid their spirit when they gave themselves! They gave themselves freely for freedom. They died the noblest death that men may die." Dr. Miel read the ode of Brian Hooker, concluding with the who must live salute you Who have found the strength to die." He told the congregation.

which was large, that it had assembled to do grateful reverence to the blessed dead who had fought the good fight and had gone to their reward. Every one of the lads who went forth bravely and gamely had the idea that he was making for peace. They were fighting men. but they were peaceloving men and they went into the war to end war. Dr.

Miel told about what might be called a pilgrimage to the left bank of the Seine, to the Hotel des Invalides and to the sarcophagus of Napoleon, a beautiful and brilliant shrine with the splendor of military glory. But it was not comparable in real feeling with the tomb of Grant on Riverside Drive. New York, for the teaching in that tomb was in the immortal words: "Let us have peace." It is peace that the dead fought for. It was peace the world wished. What we thought of the blessed dead was not the point so much as what the dead thought of us, what message they would send.

Men had measured their thoughts by the span of three score and ten, but when they were released from that span they were not limited by the pettiness of life, Dr. Miel cited the beatitude from the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed aro the peacemakers, for they shall he called the children of God." If the blessed dead should send a message, it would be for peace in the world. Speaking to the men of the battalion, Dr. Miel said: "The most trying moment of my life in France was when we pulled out with the twenty-sixth from St. Mihiel, with hope perhaps of a rest sector, but instead took the road to Verdun.

I shall never forget that night, not because I was tired out. but because I watched the unending files of doughboys far down into the night, footsore, tired out. heavy with packs, stringing forward to battle again. "It was a picture of the world today. We look for the dawn of a better day.

Our part is to fit ourselves for it. The world is in two classes, peacemakers and troublemakers. It is for us to concern ourselves not with what we get, but with what we give." It was the soul that lasted, Dr. Miel said. The war destroyed faith it mere mechanism alone.

Germany had a perfect military machine, 8 system without equal in preparedness. But it was a system without a soul. The machine broke; the soul of humanity in the allies was lasting. The service began with the advance along the main aisle of Arthur Van R. Tilton, a son of Organist Frederick W.

Tilton, carrying the national flag, escorted by Lieutenants Maurice F. Furnival and Houghton Bulkeley. Headed by Lieutenant Jan D. Mackenzie, members of the battalion fol- lowed. In the processional of the choir boys the church's national ensign was carried to the chancel.

After the address the colors of the battalion were carried to the chancel rail, the congregation rising and remaining standing as a salutation. Dr. Miel read the list of the honored dead as F. Alexander, Franklin Allen, Albert J. Audette, Wallace H.

Brown, David A. Blowers, William A. Bruton, Ignatius Brostowicz, Paul W. Butler, Garland Cole, Robert E. Collins, Lorne L.

Cupples, Harry, G. Faulk, Kenneth Finlayson, Moseley H. Gray, Louis F. Hart, Ralph L. Henry, Waldo C.

Coon. Gradual Improvement In Business Evident Signs of Better Conditions Apparent Despite Several Unfavorable Developments in Last Week. (By William W. Craig. Financial Edie tor of New York Herald), relation of credit conditions, parsed or reduced dividends and the state of foreign trade is having more and more of a reflection in the markets.

Several significant events brought this fact into the foreground, of financial consideration last week. The passing of so prominent a dividend as that of the Cuba Cane Sugar Corporation's preferred stock and the reduction of the quarterly payment of Internationl Harvester Common betokens a situation in industry which emplasizes the slump of 1921. The call loan rate at New York indieated a rather unexpected stringency of money, and indirectly of credit by rising to 8 per cent. the highest level since the second week of February. And the effects of a group of business men to conserve their equity in some $100,000,000 worth of goods sold to Southern countries but not paid for revealed a sidelight on the street which some export lines are suffering.

Through high money rates the country is again experiencing the result of tremendous loans on goods and materials, both in the domestic market and abroad which can be liquidted only slowly, Through dividend cute la seen the effect of the difficulty entailed in a dormant foreign market which cannot take up surplus goods of American mills. It South America, the Far East and Europe were as well able to buy and pay for our produces they were a year ago, there would not be shrunken incomes nor would it be necessary for manufacturers to seek ways to get rid of great amount of products that have been turned back on their hands. It would not be necessary, either, for a bank of such widespread interests as the Mercantile Bank of the Americans to raise $20,000,000 fresh funds- -nearly twice its previous capital and surplus -in order to carry its customers until more favorable times appear. The last week was made memorable by these developments, not only because they are likely to stand as of proofs to later years of much disturbed business, but also for their probable functions as signboards pointing toward better conditions. Money rates should ease off somewhat as the rates draw offerings from centers where money is plentiful to others where it rather scarce.

But the recurrence of high quotations, at a time when the Federal Reserv Bank had been recording a steady retirement of loans and a great growth of reserves for monthe, 1A a strong suggestion of problems ahead. Just as liquidation WAR being discussed to freely AH to seemingly forecast really easy credit rates, the situation tightens up again. The entire credit difficulty, harke back to those hundreds of millions of dollars which is frozen in Immovable goods: rather. in goods which move 80 Alowly that fresh demands of production and distribution make harder and harder the release of capital tied up in them.
