FATE OF THE INCOME TAX.
The Supreme Court IL Expected to Decide
It To-day.

II To-day.
WASHINGTON. May 19.-The Supreme Court
Of the United States will reassemble tomorrow,
after recess which begen with the close Of tho
reargument OF the income tax cases on tho Sth
inst It ID expected that the decision upon those
cases will be announced tomorrow, but II is not
absolutely certain that this will be done. Past
experience has shown that even when members
Of the court itself have expected that a certain
case would be disposed of, It has been put aside
for further consideration or for some other ca
son at the brief conference OF tho Justices which
always precedes the conveninR Of court on de-
cision dny. Whether or not this will happen to-
morrow Is more less of an uncertainty still. but
one fact seems concluslvely established. which
Is that the fate OF She Income Tax law has been
definitely settled one way or tho other. That
point was settled when the court met in confer
ence on tho 18th inst. and Justice jackson
announced his views and cast his vote. So that
there Is nothing in the rumor that further con-
sultation is necessary before the decision can be
stated. Should the Chief Justice announce the
opinion and Judgment Of the court tomorrow.
this announcement may not be made until some
time after the Court convenes at 1o o'clock.
Decisions are expected tomorrow in about
twenty cases. some of them Of considerable ims
portance. which have been under consider
alton for months. One case. which involves
important questions OF law. as we'll as immense
pecuniary liabilities. is that Of Henry Hilton
