Another subway rout from Brooklyn (9 Manhattan, with a tunnel under the tut River Just below the Brooklyn Bridge, which would malco tho rccon-jtructl- of that bridge unnecessary, woa put forth yesterday by John H. Dclaney, Transit Construction Commissioner, In a letter to Llndlcy M. Garrison, receiver f tha New York Municipal Railway Corporation, which operates tho subway nd elevated lines la Brooklyn. Tho proposal Is mado In connection with a new form of agreement for the Ahland place connection \between the miltnn street elevated line and the Fourth avenue subway, which was first projected In 1917.

Coat to Ilecontrnct Bridge. Engineers have estimated Uiat it would cost J9,000,000 to reconstruct the Brook- lyn Bridge to make It strong enough to carrj\ steel rapid transit cars. That part of tho proposed new line, which would run from the Brooklyn end of the Brook- lyn Bridge to City Hall, Manhattan, would cost only $3,760,000. according to tho Commissioner. The Brooklyn Bridge under the plan would be devoted to tro-l- v ears, leaving the roadways free for In detail, the plan of Commissioner Pelancy wouia De to carry me ruiiun Vanderbllt and Clermont avenues. From that point the subway would run under Fulton street. At Asniana piace me wuld be a connection made with the Fourth avenue subway, aa originally planned. It is estimated that the route down to this point and the Ashland place con- nection would cost J3.E00.000 and It la planned to go ahead with this part of the entire scheme at once, if an agree- ment can be reached. The new subway route suggestea Dy the Commissioner would turn out of Ful- ton street at Fort Greene place, go under Da Kalb avenue, under Fulton street and private property Into Elm place and Into Livingston street From there the route would go under Livingston etreet to Court street and under the Borough Hall Square Into Washington street, and under that street to the Brooklyn Bridge Plaza and over to Fulton street to the VeA River. Faces Serious Problems. From this point a tunnel would bo run, coming up In Manhattan at a point between Bjekman Slip and Peck Slip. The subway there would go under pri- vate property between Cliff and Gold streets and under Ann street to Park Row and to a connection with tho pres- ent Broadway subway Just south of the post office. There will be some interesting engi neering problems in the route as pianncu. At Court and Joralemen streets the line would have to go under the Interbor-eugh- 's Lexington avenue subway. At Porough Hall Plaza it would have to dip under the B. R. T. line, going down to tha Montague street tunnel, and under tha Interborough Seventh avenue line, vhlch Is deep at this point It is estimates that the subway from Ahtand place to the Brooklyn Bridge plcza will cost J5, 500,000 and tho sub-- a from there to tho new post office in Manhattan $12,500,000. This would make a total cost Including the Ash- land place cennection. of $21,750,000. POLICE ACCUSED IN VICE CASE. Two Perth Ambor Patrolmen Aro nailed liy o Jersey Senator. N'ew Brunswick, N.

DECRIED BY GEORGE Cites Ita \Delay\ of Peace Here as Coalition Argument. MANCHEBiui, Deo, 6. Premier Lloyd George, speaking before the rteform Club, totally rejected the suggestion that the time had arrived for a renewal of party distinctions by the Liberals and Conservatives. Ho pointed to the experiences of the United States where, he said, party strife had been renewed prematurely, in consequence of which .peace was jeopardized and the Leaguo of Nations endangered In the land which took the most prominent and distinguished part in Its promotion. The Premier evoked a storm of ap plause when he announced, \I am a free trader.\ Referring to Ireland, he de clared he hoped to make a real contribu- tion to settlement of the Irish question, the Unionists being prepared to make great sacrifices in order to preserve na- tional unity, JAMES HILL ESTATE TO PAY JERSEY TAX U. S. Supremo Court Decides Levy of $&7,016 Is a Proper Assessment. HITS STOCK TRANSFER Majority' Ruling Holds Pay- ment on Northern Securities Is Duo tho State. The United States Supreme Court has decided that the State of New is entitled to levy a tax of $67,016 for the transfer of $2,617,364 of Northern Se- curities Corporation stock owned by the estate of James J. Hill, railroad builder. 2,95 to 6.75 14.50 to 34.50 24.00 to 33.00 .25 to 25.00 3.25 to 8.75 2.95 to 15.00 1.50 to 27.50 A A 9.75 to 27.50 35' 25.00 95 to 4.50 1.00 to moo ' 950 to 15.71 era 12.75 to 42.00 4.75 to 12.95 Jersey SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, because the was organized under tho laws of tho State of New Jersey. The highest court divided five to four on tho question of whether the New Jer- sey tax law was The majority held that tho New Jersey law declaring that the tax upon the property of a shall bear the same ra- tio to the entire tax that the estato would have beon subject to had the entire estate been located within the State is Louis W. Hill, as con- tended that this law was because It gavo to residents privileges and Immunities denied to failed to give to ts the equal protection of the law and taxed property over which the Stato had no to wit., real estate not located In New Jersey, Tho majority opinion said in part: \The question of equal protection must be decided as between residents and non residents as classes, rather than by the Incidence of the tax upon the particular estate whoso are hero Absolute equality is In taxation and Is not ac- quired by the 'equal clause. And that result, not from hostile but and In the application of r system that Is not arbitrary In its clnssl flcatlon, aro not sufllclent to defeat the law,\ Justice Holmes, writing the minority opinion of dissent, said in parti \Many things that a legislature may do, ir it docs them with no ulterior motive. It cannot do as a means to reach what Is beyond its power. Now Jersey cannot tax the property of Hill outside the State and cannot use her power over property within It to accom- plish by Indirection what It cannot do directly. New Jersey could not deny to residents of other Stntes tho right to take legacies which it granted to Its own citizens, and therefore its power to pro- hibit ail legacies cannot be Invoked to aid the principle that affects tho foreign residents alone.\ Tho opinion disclosed tho factB that the Hill estato amounted to including tho roal estate. This real es- tate, mainly In New York State and Minnesota, was appraised at $1,886,762. The debts and expenses amounted to $757,671. Mrs. Hill, wife of the railroad capi- talist, received one-thi- of tho estate. His nine chlldcn received each. As he died Intestate his estate was divided under tho decedent's estate law of the State of his residence.
