BATH HAPPENINGS.
Staunch Defenders of the Katahdin-A
Good Sized Fish Story.
Especial to the PRESS.

NpSCltl ~ llc hL4SoJs
Bath, May 19.-The stockholders in the
Bath shoe factory will hold their first meet
ing next Wednesday evening. when they
will organize. 1t is now believed that
Captain Charles E. Patten. one of the
ablest and most public spirited citizen of
Bath. will be chosen president of the new
company that will probably be known as
the Bath Shoe Co.
A dispatch appeared in last evenings
paper purporting to be special fron Wash
ngton to the Boston Herald stating that it
was believed there that the Ammen ram
Katahdin would be unable to make the
required speed. Bath people take mo
tstock' in all of this talk. They believe that
he ram will not only reach that but ex-
ceed the required speed. She has horse
power sufficient, SO it is said, to drive her
big beak through the water at the rate of
eighteen knots per hour providing her
wheels are given the necessary pitch.
and with little more pitch her wheels will
do much greater work. On asking promi-
nent official of the Iron Works what his
opinion of her was. he smiled and said:
Wait and see when the trial comes of. y
The men here have the greatest faith in
her, and Bath will be greatly surprised if
she doesn't win bonus from the govern
ment.

FATE OF INCOME TAX.
Decision of the Supreme Court Will Be
Announced Today.

Washington, May 19.-The Supreme
Court of the United States will reassem-
BILE tomorrow after recess which began
at the close of the argument of the in
come tax cases on the Sth. 1t is predict
ed that the decision on those cases will
be announced tomorrow, but it is not
absolutely certain that this will be done.
Past experience has shown that even
when the members of the court itself
had expected certain cases to be disposed
of it has been put aside for further
consideration of other reasons at the
brief conferences of the justices which
always DR. cedes the convening of the
court OH decision day. One fact seems
conclusively Established, viz, that the
fate of the income tax law has been def
nitely settled That point was settled
when the court met in conference on
the l1th and Justice Jackson announced
his views and cast his vote. There is
nothing in the rumor that further con-
sultation is necessary before the decision
can be stated. Decisions are to be given
tomorrow in abont % cases, some of con-
siderable Importance.
