Rumors of a Divided Court on the
Income Tax.
JUSTICE SHIRAS ON Side OF THE LAW
According to the Latest Gossip
About the Case.
A JUDICIAL DEADLOCK

The failure of the United States Supreme
Court to render the decision in the income
tax cases, which was expected to be hand
ed down yesterday, has occasioned great
deal of gossip in official circles uptown,
and rumors Of various sorts are flying
around.
1t is said that the delay in making the
courts finding public Is not due TO the
anger of the justices because the news OF
their attitude on the question leaked out
and became public property before being
properly disseminated by the legal practice
of the court and their consequent deternli-
nation that they would remain silent for
some days longer in order to teach les
son to the persons who published the IN
formation in advance. The court did this
in the well-known San Francisco water
front and Bates refrigerator cases. where
the standing of the judges became known
before decision day was reached, but IN
the income tax controversy 1t Is alleged
the conditions are different.
The Latest Report.
It is now freely declared in influential
circles that the premature announcement
of the way the court was divided on the
question was entirely wrong. 1t will be re-
membered that the statement was pub
lished that Justices Harlan, Shiras. Gray,
Brown and Field were arrayed against the
constitutionality of the income tax meas
ciate Justices Brewer and White were con-
vinced of its propriety. 1t is now alleged
that this division was not correct at all.
and it is asserted that the court is really
a tie on the question, Judge Shiras having
been on the side of the law instead of
against it.
1t is represented that as Justice Jackson
Gid not sit with his associates in the case
he cannot be 4 factor in its adjudication,
even If he We're here, and right here the
cause of the delayin announcing the stand
ing of the court is said to come in. Where
the Supreme Court is called upon TO decide
a question of any sort, whether it involves
a civil action or the constitutionality cf a
congressional statute. tie vote is regarded
as affirming the decision of the court below
in a civil case or the constitutionaiity of
the statute that may be questioned.
An equally divided court on the income
tax cases, therefore, would mean the en-
forcement of the law in all its particulars.
1t is said, therefore, that the Supreme
Court does not care to decide such an i'm
portant question in such manner, and
that both sides are considering some way
by which it can be avoided, and a rehear-
ing of the cases ordered in the presence of
full bench.
Another Idea of 1t.
Another story is to the effect that the
justices are all in favor of certain sections
of the income tax measure SO far con-
stitutonality goes. but that several other
portions of the law meets with the decided
disapprobation of the four justices men,
toned and that the hitch comes in that
way.
The treasury officials, while declining to
be quoted profess complete faith in the up
holding of the law by the Supreme Court
and will not consider even the possibility

Battle in Cuba.

HAVANA, July 1S.- a detachment OF
tic second battalion Of the Marine H.
fantrv at San Diego del Vale, province
OF Santa Clara, hls engaged and dis.
perscd a band OF Insurgents. Gen.
Lueue, having been informed that the
insurgent leader DormudeZ intended to
burn the village Of San Diego del
Vale, ordered q detachment Of l30
men of tie Marine Infantry and -
volunteers to defend that place. The
troops, upon arriving at the scene of
operations, found that the village was
surrounded By about 500 insurgents,
who had been keeping up Il heavy fire
upon the little garrison. The latter
resisted ga!lantly until reinforccments
arrived, when the marines, under
Capt. Duenas, routed and dispersed
the insurgents, who left twelve killed
and twenty wounded on the fed.
Gomez is understood to have the
province Of Puerto Principle, intend
ing to unite his forces With those of
the insurgents at Corijo. There is said
to be bad feeling between Masso and
Maceo, and it Is reported that the
bands of insurgents under these two
leaders are almost ready to fight each
other. The cause of this i'll feeling
is said to be that Masso's whites are
unwilling to serve under the co!ored
officers, and the whites are also re-
ported to be opposed to burning SS-Prop'
erty and killing detenseless people. II
iS added that Masso is dcsirous oi

II what has been stated in the dis
patches, relative to the action of Gov.
Mitchell Of Florida, in pardonng a rich
man. and the action of a Jacksonville
judge in releasing from Jail a number of
tcopvicts because of the action of the
governor. is true, we do not see why there
has not been Indignation meetings
throughout Florida condemning the con-
duct Of both the governor and the Judge.
We do not know what excuse the COVER
nor had for pardonins the man who was
the object. of his clemency, but so far
as we are Informed he had none, except
his own sweet will. So far as the Judge
is concerned, we do not see that his CON
duct is excusable. The alleged reason
for his action in turning loose a lot of
lesser offenders is that they should not
be required to submit to the sentence of
the court If the governor gives greater
offenders immunity from punishment. OF
course we recognize the motive which in
fluenced the Judge still one wrongful act
does not justify another. The governor
and the judge seem to have acted as if
the people had no rights in the matter,
when, matter of fact, they are the
ones whose rights are trampled upon.
The governor and the judge are the SER
wants of the people. They are paid by the
people to protect the peoples interests.
The cost of convicting law-breakers is
borne by them, and they necessarily feel
outraged when the laws are nullified and
practically set aside by men who have
solemnly obligated themselves to enforce
the laws in letter and spirit
The impression seems to be that the
governor pardoned the offender because
he is an influential man. We do not say
this is so, but that is the impression con-
veyed by the dispatches. but the wrong
the governor did is no excuse for the act
of the judge.
We do not see how the people OF Flor
ida can permit this matter to pass with
out strong protest. Such things as those
charged against the governor and the
judge have the effect of lessening the re-
spect in which the law is held and tend
to bring into discredit the chief executive
and the judiciary.

A Wen Informed Contemnornrr.

our esteemed contemporary. the Tampa
Times. quotes the Morning News as say
ing; Neither OF the great parties favors
an income tax" and comments on the
quotation as follows: "Win you, then.
kindly explain the platforms, messag
and votes in congress that placed the
law upon the statute books? Income tax
laws are not creatures of spontaneous
generation. Both of the great parties IA
vor an income tax"
No, we will not give any such explana-
ton az the Times calls for. 1t has as
much time as we have to look up plat
forms and messages and votes in congress,
though we are willing to admit that we
have never heard of any platform being
adopted by congress. The only way we
have to find out what a party favors Is
to search it's platform, adopted at it's last
national convention. If the Times can
find anything about an income tax in the
platform of either the democratic or re-
publican platform then the Morning News
is wrong. The Times, however, says thar
both the great parties favor an income
tax" An anxious public would be under
obligations to it if it would kindly reveal
the source of it's information. The infor-
nation is so important that it ought not
to hesitate to tell how it became pos
sessed of it.
