This !s also the silver an- niversiry of the Kalser's wedding. The German Empire is en fete for the double celebration, and Berlin 1s the grandest it has been in many yeare.

DODGERS PASSES SENATE Committee Decides in Favor of Inquiry Into Banking Department. ALBAN . ¥., Feb, 27.—The Saxe bill, a.med at millionaire tax dodgers, was finally passed in the Senate to-day, with the Assembly amendments, by a vote of 37 to 4, after Senator McCarren had made a futile attempt to sandbag the measure by referring It to the Com- mittee on Taxa)ton for a hearing. He sald the warehouse keepers of Brooklyn would be driven to Jersey if the bill was passed. ‘There are millions of dollars of cof- fee in storage in Brooklyn which would be taxed under this bill,” declared the Brooklyn Senator. “‘Lhe very object of the bill is to tax these people," explained Senator Saxe. “On the ground that they are non-resi- dents und the contracts are made out- aide the Stute, the dealers avoid taxa- tlon on the goods in storage, while the reaident merchant is compelled to pay the tax, We discriminate against our own merchants,” * Senator Lewis, Chairmin of the Tax Commitiee, said the condition now ex- isting in New York was outrageous, it would be & waste of time to send the bill to his committee, he said. “There are millions of dollars’ worth of property In storage In New York,” he said, “which is getting the protection of the police and tire departments. The owners get fbr nothing what others who are residents of the State have to pay for in the way of taxes." Senators Grady and Foley also op- posed McCarren’s motion, All the Man- hattan Senators voted for tho measure, which now goes to the Governor for his appval.
