The state treasurer recommends a re vision , of the present inheritance tax o that a' tax shall be imposed on be quests in excess of 82,000. As the law now stands no estate valued at leas than $10,000 Is subject to tax. Be quests and devises exceeding $600,. to persons not related to the donor, the state treasurer thinks should also be subject to tax. The receipts from the inheritance tax for the past two years were 844,669.81 and the treasurer be lieves tbe sum could be materially in creased If a tax could be imposed on smaller estates according to the plan outlined. " "There are at this time." accordins to we report, "tniny-iwo nanus carry' ing deposits of state funds under a SrovlBlon of the state law.

Falling to trace tha movements of Edna Clark, mo i-year-old art. student who mys teriously disappeared from her Oakland home nearly a fortnight ago, the prl vate detectives employed by the family nave aoanaonea the searcn. The trail has been taken up by the ftollce of this city and new light was hrown on the mystery by the finding or a ruuman car ucaet siud in neap of sweepings from the church of St. Mary the Virgin, whose pastor. Rev. Pay son Young, .was known to have been with Miss Clark shortly before her dis appearance.. , ., The uncle of Edna Clark, despairing of maintaining; secrecy by the finding of the girl with the aid of private de tectives, at last .has called upon the po lice of this cltv and Oakland. Today descriptions of the girl, with all known data concerning her actions on the day of her departure, are on .the way to every police department in . the United States. - The flndinar of the ticket stub, while not ' conclusive evidence. Is regarded as extremely important. Hitherto Chief Blggy has asserted that beyond per-, lunctory inquiry at tn various nos pttals the police would not take up tho case, because there was uo evidence of crime. Today aeiecuves or xne upper Office are hard at wora. The nollce have discarded tne tneory that Miss Clark was Induced to withdraw monev from her bank by a stranger wna subsequently murdered her for the amount.

That th girl left the train after if ulled out of Oakland, and returned to ;n Frajiclaco.

Indicates that -tbe a-irl returned to tne church and there threw away the stub. Whether she then saw Father Young, th. Tisi1ira will not lav.

The connection of Father Payson Toung, rector of the high church Epis copal parish, with the case has caused a great sensation and has aroused the keenest, interest,- especially in the par ish, where he has enemies. The rector has submitted calmly to sharp cross examination and has answered all ques tions. No evidence aganst 'him of any kind has been found. W. H.
