WASHINGTON, April ia motion for
rehearing of the income tax cases de-
cided by the United States supreme
court last Monday will be made by w.
D. Guthrie, of counsel for the stock
holders in the Farmer S and Continental
Trust Company, and the printed motion
will be distributed among the justices
to-day.
Justice jackson will not be able to re-
turn to Washington before next Octo-
Der, which would postpone the hearing
until then. If his illness should at that
time prevent his consideration of the
case before the court he will tender his
resignation to the president. 1t is

stitutionality of the law as a whole.

Cleveland upholds both the eXpediency
and the constitutionality of the law
there seems to be no reasonable ground
that if the appointment of successor
to Justice jackson came before him the
man named would be one who held the
same views as the president. If the
full bench sat on the case that would
mean reversal of thepresent decision
in favor of the law.

time for the letter to cross the conti-
nent. the usual mail time being about
five days, and as the mail carried by
the next steamer reached Honolulu
about March Is, sufficient period has
elapsed for a reply in the ordinary
course of events to reach Washington.
