INCOME AND RENT
Customs Officials Struggle With the Income
Tax Law


WASHINGTON, April 10. = Internal
revenue officials are busy unraveling the
intricacies involved in the supreme court
income tax decision. The words in
come" and "rent,'' as used in paragraph
7 of the courts conclusion, they say, will
be held to be synonymous, and therefore
exemptions on account of rent will be ac-
cepted only when they are actual returns
received by landlord for use of bis prop
erty. Insurance, taxes and ordinary re-
pairs on rented property will probably be
permitted to be deducted from the IN
comes before making returns.
Internal Revenue Commissioner Miller
has senta telegram to all the internal
revenue collectors directing them to hold
all income tax lists due April 10 until
further orders. and retain possession OF
all returns received. This is done with a
view to modification OF the returns to
correspond with the decision of the SUI
preme court.
NEW YORK, April 10--Another suit
to contest the consttutionallty OF the in
come tax has been instituted in the CIR
cuit court here. 1t is an action in equity

way company ct al. IN ms Diii OF cont

GAMBLING IN OREGON
A Judge Who Finds That the Accused Are Not
Guilty

PORTLAND, Or, April 1O.-Several
days ago the grand jury returned twenty
separate indictments against keepers of
gam bling houses. Two of these cases have
come to trial and the defendants were ac-
quilted. Judge Stevens of the State Cir
cult Court then TOOK occasion to deliver a
severe rebuke to the grand jury for multi
plying fees in the different cases. He
said:
Among other things, gentlemen, that
were included in this Courts instructions
at the outset was that this jury was told
especially to find an Indictment where
such evidence was presented before you
as would insure conviction before a trial
Jury in this court. Unless there is war
rant for it no Indictment should be
returned where it is not conclusive
that the evidence in the case will
secure conviction. A few davs ago you
returned tc this court a batch of twenty
indictments for gambling. We have tried
two or three cases. and to say the least
they have been mere farces SO far as con-
viction in this court is concerned. The
court cannot understand why these par
ties could have been indicted on such

CHAPTER XIX.


As the night was free from rain or
fog Detective Goringe decided to take
ramblc through Clayfelds and ruminate
upon the ease which he had come TO in
vestigate.
1t was 10 O'Clock when he left the po-
lice station, and after wandering aim
lessly through several streets ho found
himself in Crescent road, the principal
road in Clayfields, 1t was broad high
way, hanked with good houses and a
plentiful sprinkling of trees.
The detective had no object in view
when he started from the police station,
except 10 get to Felspar road and sleep
there, or keep vigil there, for the
night He now felt in no humor for
sleep, and walked quietly along Cres-
cent road until he came to the corner Of
Felspar road which stood at right an
giles 10 it,
Here he stopped for moment and
then decided to continue his walk. As
he strobe along, glancing occasionally
across the roadway at the dwelling
houses, which We're nearly all lit up
and looked bright and cheerful, his eyes
We're attracted by the dull flame of a
Doctors lamp. "Perciyal's house, Of
course, reflected Goringe, standing op.
posite it. Sort Of business / shouldn Z
like TO belong TO, Patching up live bod

As he stood gazing at the house, re
fecting upon the hardships and ankle
ties Of Doctors life, lao saw Pcrciyal's :
hall door being opened nstinctiyely he
stepped back some PAGES until he was
completely shadowed by a large tree
which stood ON the edge Of the pathway,
almost equally distant from two street
