Harden Clears Serbia of Serajevo Guilt Berne, June 23.—An official tele gram to the Vienna Foreign Office, exonerating Serbia of responsibility for the Serajevo murder, has been published by Maximilian Harden in the Berlin Zukunft, as a part of the mass of evidence to show German responsibility for the war. This telegram, dated July 13, 1914, states plainly that the Serbian gov ernment, against which no evidence can be produced, has no responsibil ity for the murder. This document, Herr Harden said, was suppressed, and ten days later the ultimatum to Serbia was pre sented. In addition, ho said, seven days before it was drafted the Pots dam War Council already had ar ranged a plan of action in anticipa tion of Russia's intervention. "Von Bethmann-Hollweg may have forgotten it," Herr Harden says, "but this decision was taken and reg istered on July 6, before the Kaiser left for the north, and he who had to choose between war and peace had already chosen war. A hundred million individuals were thus de ceived." Despite Hardships Soldier Life Was Attractive to Him Regret at shedding the. khaki of Uncle Sam after two years of serv ice that included a long period of incarceration in German prison camps with attendant hardships and privations is expressed in an unusual letter from Sergeant Robert J. Becker, Elizabethtown, wrote to thank the Red Cross Bureau for a service which it had rendered. "Now, oh, how different! I must dig down into my jeans and pay, pay, pay for everything. When a man enters the Army he starts to kick about everything and anything and he keeps on kicking till he gets out again, and when he finally gets home to familyand friends and looks back he forgets all about the little inconveniences. All he remembers is the good times ho had and laughs and tells his friends and family all about it." INHERITANCE CODE APPROVED Important Measure for Collec tion of State Taxes now Law of the State Approval of the inheritance tax code drafted by the Attorney Gen eral's Department to assemble the inheritance tux laws of tho State and to increase powers over estates of persons residing in other States who own property in Pennsylvania and on which this State has not been receiving taxes was announced by the Governor's office last night. Tiie new act is effective at once. It is expected that it will materially in crease the State revenues. It makqs it unlawful for any corporation of this State or any national bank ing association located in Pennsyl vania to transfer any stock until the tax on tho transfer has been made. The direct inheritance tax re mains at two per cent, and the col lateral inheritance tax at five per cent., but there are numerous ad ditional provisions, one of which is that in ascertaining the clear value of estates the only deductions to be allowed from the gross values shall be debts of the decedent and ad ministrative expenses and nothing shall be allowed for taxes paid to the United States or to any other States. A schedule of fees for registers of wills collecting taxes is estab lished, commencing with five per cent, for estates valued under $50,- 000; three per cent, when between $50,000 and $100,000; one per cent, on those between SIOO,OOO and $200,- 000 until $1,000,000 is reached and one-fourth of one per cent, on all over $1,000,000. A bill of importance to Philadel phia and Pittsburgh was also an nounced as approved provides that the total annual school levy shall not be loss than six nor more than eight mills on the dollar. It is pro vided that the levy for 1920 shall not exceed seven mills except in case of a district assuming bonded debt of any former district, there may be levied seven and a half mills in 1920 and eight and a half in 1921, thereafter it may not exceed eight mills. This will increase the school rev enue for Philadelphia so that ad ditional schools may be erected. Other bills signed include: Changing the civil procedure in civil cases in the Philadelphia mu nicipal court and providing that ex cept as modified by the act or by its own rules the practice and pro cedure in the municipal court shall be the same as in the common pleas courts of Philadelphia. Giving to second class cities au thority to regulate the height and size of buildings, areas of yards and open spaces, restrict location of trades and industries and to estab lish zones under supervision of the City Planning Commission. Pro vision is also made for appeal to council by interested .property owners.

All such organi ations must file semiannual reports with the State Board.

"Wherever an American wanders in Constantinople Turks, Greeks and Armenians impress it upon the vis itor that America will be welcomed with open arms, that America will be trusted. At the Turkish foreign office, the Sublime Porte, there is open satisfaction at the report that America will come in and clean up," the Red Cross man continues. Says Population in Germany Will Drop Because of Depression Berlin.

There are less than 125 bills on the calendars and while there will be some legislative fire works over certain bills the mem bers have the close of their long series of sittings in sight. Every prospect is that the 123 rd regular session will adjourn Thurs day afternoon. It has been in prac tically continuous session since Jan uary 20. It met for organization on January 7. but recessed until the twentieth and has met weekly since barring ten days' recess in April. The last two weeks sessions have been held on four days each week. The length of the session has been duo largely to the Philadelphia bills and to consideration of appropria tion, revenue, educational and simi lar bills. The date fixed for ad journment is two days earlier than the close of the session of 1917. Other late June sessions in recent years have been 1901 and 1913. Close to 300 of the bills passed thw session have become laws already and there are many bills upon which the Governor will act In the thirty days allowed him after the general assembly adjourns. Over 1000 hills have been presented in each House. Interest in the closing week will center in ratification of the woman suffrage amendment which is sched uled to pass the House finally Tues day; Compensation amendments, which are to •be debated in the House finally to-night; tho anti sedition and telephone merger bills, defeated in the House and which it is expected attempts to reconsid er will be made to-night; Depart ment of Conservation bill, in a House committee; and the teachers salary and judges' salary increase bills. Eoth of the latter measures will face fights in the House. In the Senate an effort will be made to revive the bill authorizing the Au ditor General to name mercantile appraisers. The Senate has less than a dozen of its own bills to pass on to the House and the House has about the same number of its measures to transmit to the upper branch. The House has fifteen appropriation bills to dispose of. The Senate Daw and Order Com mittee will give a hearing this eve ning on the Ramsey bill establish ing any beverage containing more than two and a half per cent of alcohol as an intoxicant. There will also be a few hearings by House committees.
