INCOME REHEARINC
The Chief Justice Announces
Arguments Will Be Heard
May 6.
AN UNUSUAL PROCEEDING
Only One Other Instance Of the
Kind ReCalled-JaCkSon
the Arbiter.

WAsHINGrON, April 2i.-The United
States supreme court, through Chlef
Justice Fuller, made the following Or
der in regard to petitions for rehear-
ing of the income tax question:
THE consideration Of the two petit
tions, 1.-THE income tax petitions) for re-
hearing is reserved until Monday, May
6, when full bench is expected, and
in that event two counsel on a side will
he heard at that time
What the Order Means.
Although the order does not explic-
lily SO state. it mealls that argument
will be heard, not OH the merits of the
tax question itself, but on the question
whether or not there shall be IA rehear-
ing of the suits heretofore decided
This argument, it is expected, will in
rlude the extent to which the rehearing
shall 60 that is, whether it shall be
confined merely to the point on which
the court was evenly divided, the
ronstitutionality of the income tax
law as whole or whether the
whole question shall be reopened and
new arguments made on the question
of whether or not rents are exempt
from taxation, a. to which there was a
clear majority Of the court against this
feature Of the tax. The announcement
by the court is further corroboration OF
reports of improvement in the health
Of Justice Jackson, as it was made only
after assurances that unless his case
took a turn for the worse, he would be
able to return to his seat Oh the bench
by the date named in the order.
An Unusual Course.
The cour:e adopted by tle court is =
most unusual one, aud the gentlemen
famil a with its procedure for man,
years can recollect but one instance il
which a like action has been taken
and that was in the '10s. No accurat,
statement could be obtained for th'
reasons for the order, but the theory i
advanced that the court is again evenl,
divided, ami that Justice Jackson ha
been virtually made umpire of the ques
ton Of reopening the cases.

and was IN love with Alexander. A
few weeks ago she left her parents

After entering the house the wo-
mans parents refused to let her have
the clothes, and endeavored to keep
her from departing with Alexander.
The old man and son followed her
into the yard, the former endeavoring
to assist Sarah in making her escape,
resulting in a fight with Jones and the
son, and during which Alexander drew
a revolver and shot Tom and his
father, the bullet entering the son 8

the right side, and coming out at the
back, while the old man was shot in
the mouth, knocking all of his teeth
out on the left side.
He spit out his teeth and the bullet,
but before doing so drew a revolver
and shot Alexander twice, the first
bullet entering the left side of the
neck, and the second penetrating the
forehead just above the temple and
entering the brain. Alexander is
dead. while Jones' son is in most
critical condition.

Others Hurt.
TRICK HORSE KILLED.

WATERBURY, Conn, Oct. IA seri-
GUS freight wreck occurred here last
night, when two parts of a broken
train came together. Ten cars loaded
with trotting horses, live stock and
other exhibits from the Danhury fair.

champion trick horse of the world,
valued at $40, 900, was instantly killed,
one man was fatally injured and two
others seriously hurt.
The train, which was long one,
was made up at Danbury- When
about mile from the city it parted in
the middle and the two sections came
together again with a. tremendous
crash, when near the center of the
city. Cars were splintered and piled
up in every direction Ten. of them
fell in fragments to the bottom of a
forty-foot embankment. The car con-
tanning Mazeppa was reduced to kim
ding wood. He was owned by H. D.
Mcguire of Boston. The groom, Harry
Thompson, had a miraculous escape
from death. He was pinned under a
portion of the wreck for two hours,
and had to be cut out with saws and
axes.
