PAUL, Minn., August 4.—Suit for the return of a tax of $3,141- 677.04, pald to the Government on the estate of Mrs. Mary T. Hill, widow of James J. Hill, has been filed in Federal Court against the collector of internal revenue for Minnesota. The complaint alleges that the money was collected fliegally by the Government, and that part of the tax, §1,130,616.08, was _collected under duress and under the protest of the D. plaintiff and to aveld additional penal- ties and costs. The contention is made by the plain- tiff that the Government, because of a deficiency in the law at the time, is unable to collect a tax on estates of persons who died during the period between November 23, 1920, and No- vember 23, 1921.
