SEVERAL DENIS OUT OF JOBS
BRIEF COMMENTS on THE DECISION
OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Admiral Meade Placed on the Retired
List and Severely Criticized by
President Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Internal Reye-
nue. Commissioner Miller has telegraphed
all collectors of internal revenue to for
ward at once to his office all income-tax
returns and everything else pertaining to
the tax. Up to this time there has been
collected about $4,000 under the income
tax law which was to-day declared un-
constitutional. The Commissioners tele-
gram 10 collectors was as follows: "In-
come-tax law declared unconstitutional by
Supreme Court. Stop all work in connec-
ton Herewith. and send to this Office
once under seal all books, assessments,
lists. returns and records in your Office
hands of deputies relating to income
tax" The Commissioner had for some time
been prepared for adverse decision of
the court, but nevertheless it was TO him
matter Of deep regret. He believed in
the constitutionality of the law, and was
inclined to regard the decision Of the
court one which, in its adverse effects,
might be very far reaching. In his opn-'
ion fully SIS, 100000 or 100000 would have
been collected during the first year from
incomes had the entire law been sustained
by practically unanimous court, and even
after it had been shorn of the rent pro-
vision at least SIS, 10000, and probably $2o.
O0000O he estimated, would have been col
lected. AS soon as possible those persons
who have already paid their tax will be
notified that. under the authority granted
the Commissioner. he will refund all such
moneys on application of payees.
Although to-day's decision of the court
will materially cut down the an
ticipated revenues of the gov
eminent, it is not thought that ii
will necesstate an extra session of Con-
gress unless some unlooked-for contingent
cy arises to make it unavoidable. 1t is
known that the administration does not
regard an extra session as necessary, al
though the revenues during the last few
months have not been at all satisfactory.
The customs receipts particularly are sur
prisingly low. The deficit for the fiscal
year on Jan. 81, 1926. was $a4,24o,Sss On
Feb. % this had been increased to nearly
SIS, 600 900, and on April 30 to about s45,-
10000 The deficit, as stated to-day, was
$5l,G43,5 S4.

ny fSupreme Justices.

WASHINGTON. May 2o.-The United
States Supreme Court sat until a quarter
past 4. Among the motions made was one
by j. Altheus johnson on behalf of the
Attorney general of South Carolina for
leave to file an application for a writ OF
habeas corpus in the case of Constable
Beach. of that State. under arrest for vio-
lating the order of Judge Simonton in the
South Carolina dispensary law cases. Chief
Justice Fuller said the case could be con-
sidered before final adjournment on the
submission of printed briefs. If that would
be satisfactory. Mr.. johnson accepted the
suggestion and said he would file the
briefs.
Mr.. James c. Carter made an effort TO
secure permission for the argument Of the
case of w. III. Farmhouse. OF New Or
leans. who is in custody on the charge Of
violating the lottery law enacted at the
last session Of Congress. He said he would
be satisfied to allow the matter to go over
until the next term IL some order could be
made admitting his client IN bail. TIE
court agreed 10 consider the last sugges-
ton. saying that oral argument .nis
time was out Of the question.
In the case of J. w. Todd and others
against the United States. appealed from
the Circuit Court for Georgia, and known
as Of the "White-cap" cases, the Cir
cult Court was reversed. Todd and his ac-
completes, in the night time. visited the
homes OF certain men who were witnesses
in a case pending before a United States
commissioner, and administered whippines
to terrorize them. They were indicted.
convicted and sentenced TO Imprisonment
by the United States Circuit Court under
a statute providing penalties for intmidat-
ing witnesses before a United states court.
The Supreme Court however, decided that
a proceeding before United States COM
missioner was not proceeding in court
of the United States within the mea ming or
the statute and that therefore the in
dictment was defective and the proceed
ings below invalid. The men viii be re-
leased.
In the case Of Quarles. Butler, Mcintyre
and Goble (the white-cappers from Geor-
gla) the court denied the application for
writs of habeas corpus The plaintiffs in
these cases were convicted of conspiracy

Justice Gray said the United States must
protect its officers and those in custody or

BOSTON, May 2o.-More than two thou

twenty-fve-round contest at the Suffolk
Athletic Club tonight between Dick
O'Brien of Lewiston, and Kid Mccoy, of
Boston, which was declared a draw by
referee William DAILY, jr., at the end of the
twenty-fifth round. Dick OBrien was the
favorite, but the clever Bostonian gave him
the best contest that the Lewiston lad has
ever run against. Only once during the
contest was Mccoy on the verge of losing.
That was in the twelfth round, when
Obrien floored him three times and almost
put him to sleep. McCoy's clever sparring
