WILL IKE A TEST CASE
Mr. Gibbons Believes Tai Collectors
Impose Excessive Penalties.
OPINION OP ATTORNEY SCKAGG
It Was Kcad Yesterday at tho Meeting of
the Poor Ikiard -Complaint MuJ
of South SiJe Speakeasies.
Other Ituslness of Meeting.
. Kven in the face of Attorney Scragg's
opinion, rendered yesteiday ut the
meeting of tho nmr board. John Gib
bons would not be reconciled to the
J ui l Ice and legality f Kivlng a de
linquent tax collector the power to im
pose penalties and jail people fur re
fusing or neglecting to pay their taxes.
Mr. (iibbons diil not argue against
the necessity of maintaining some
method of compelling pinplo to pay
their taxes, but he took a decided
stand against the collectors' prevent
methods.
He intimated that collectors Im
posed excessive' penalties and used no
discrimination In their linposlt inns, us
every delinquent was lined a like
amount, $1.12, when the law explicitly
states, as reproduced III Attorney
ScruKg's communication. that "the
amount is entirely dependent uihui
how far Hie collector has been obliged
to proceed before receiving payment of
the t.ix due." Mr. lithiums maintained
that something must be wrong when
all iH'tuiltics were exactly alike.
The opinion of Attorney 'Scragg gives
a thorough ami clear Idea of the case:
To the Directors of the S.ratitim Poor
I'VlHet:
Veil have requested my written opin
ion on tile question. "Whether the Imjio.
sHliiti of costs lUl ilt-lllliplellts taxes s

the same process as peer taxes are tiy ex
isting laws collectable."
I awn lioYcrtiiitg lioMceiion.
The laws governing the collection of
poor taxes refered lo .n the at.ioe stvt'uu
is I he :iel of assembly of l.vil. wliieh law
provides in sect . on 11.1 lln reof, I'linlnll's
lii:est p. I paragraph i as follows:
"If any person hhall neglect or refuse in

meat of costs is clearly eotitemiilateil aii'l
In my opinion the collector of poor taxes
is authorisi d by law to ciifoic the pay
ment of taxes as by the aliove act directed
and after demand and refusal to pay the
collector shall obtain a warrant from n
Justice under which he may restrain the
goods and chattels of the delinquent, and
in ease no itooiIs end chattels can ho
found. Is empowered to arrest and deliver
the person of suc h delinquent to the roun
tv Jail. The distress, sale, or tak'tig of
the person or Imprisonment can be
Mopped at any stage by payment of the
tax and cost then made. While of the op'n
lon costs can he 'mpnseil and collected
n mi Inst delinquents, the amount of the
same il entlrtly dependent iiuoti how' far
the collector has been obliged to proceed
b-fore rere'v'ng payment of the tax due.
It is ini'inss'hlo to say how much the leiral
cost will be genera My. each mit't'eiil.ir
case ns above Indicated ilenemling upon
what It bn been neeessarv for the col
lector In that case to do. If a cne shall

eftse sulim'tted. It will easy to ascer

that particular case. The delinquent tax

"Well, I'll make a test cane myself,"
said '.Mr. Gibbons at the conclusion of
the reading of the communication. "I
will refuse to pay my poor taxes thisi
year and see what will be done."

.Mrs. Swan, who Investigated a case
In 'Mr. Gibbons' bailiwick, came back
with a glowing account of Its Industry
along the "speak-easy" line. Mr. Gib
bons admitted that, it was "as bad as
Lackawanna avenue," and nil agreed
that much of the poverty that existed
there was duo to these same grogshops.
Attorney John T. -Martin appeared
before the board In behalf of an old
man named Thomas Mullaney, whose
story, If true, is a truly sad one. Last
week th old man pdartod to walk to
the poor farm, but upon Retting as far

had to be taken In and n' tended. He
stated that lie once owned a properly

All the , -ill smell who are to participate
are on hit nil, excepting four or tlve

make a day of sport the delight of
which can easily be estimated by the

The fact that every race Is to be a
turning one, with the start and I i 1 1 i ; It
In full slc.lit of the people, will be much
appreciated by every person who wil
luvscs the exciting contests, ami ll is
certain that the crowds going to the

Ir. Haves' Srntcmcnt. '
Kdltor of The Tribune,
Kir: I would like to give tho public a
clear Idea of the alleged horse-whlp-plng
which last evening's Times says
was Inilleited on me by Mrs. Ilrock.
On Wednesday I was driving along
Linden street whon-I saw a carriage
standing diagonally ncross the street.
I turned my lit ran to avoid It, but the
wheel of the carriage struck ngalnst
the car rail anil slid along until the
roar wheel of my carriage collided with
the felloe nit the junction of the tire of
the whei'l of Mrs. P.rock's'cnrrliige.
The collision was scarcely perceptible
nnd wan of such slight consequence
that 1 did not deem. It necessary fj
ntop for an nimlogy nt the time; In
fact, thought nothing of the mutter
at nil.
The accident was unavoidable on my
part, nnd wns due solely to the angle
at whkih .Mrs. Itrock'n carriage stood.
I paid no attention to the matler, ond
drove to my olllce, on Wyoming nve
nue. nnd a moment later Mrs. Ilrock
drove up and addressed me In a most
unladylike manner. I refused to an
swer further than to remind her that
she had overstepped the bounds of
propriety, nnd iturncd to go Into my
olllce when she took up her whip and
made a number of unKUrcestrful efforts
to strike me. I feel It is duo mo that
this correct statement of thp nffalr
should be given to tho public.' My at
torneys will tomorrow proceed against
Mrs. Ilrock for slander and malicious
assault. Dr. James JO. Hayes,
