JUSTICE JACKSON Is UMPIRE
His Position With Respect to the
Income Tax Rehearing.
Chief Justice Fuller Announces That the
Petitions Will Be Argued
May 9th.

The United States Supreme Court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, yesterday made an
order in regard to the petitions for re-
hearing of the income tax question, that the
consideration of the two petitions for re-
hearing is reserved until Monday, May s,
when full bench is expected, and in that
event two counsel on a side will be heard
at that time.
1t is understood that the decision of the
court was not arrived at until yesterday and
that thisaetion was based upon information
received by the Chief Justice direct from
Justice Jackson, indicating the probability
OF his being able to attend upon the sitting
of the court early in May.
After adjournment of the court Chief
Justice Fuller said that he had received
such information from Justice Jackson as to
lead him to expect his presence in Washing
ton and TO count upon his attendance upon
the court by the day set for argument on the
petition.
that Justice Jackson was gettirg on very
well. Ordinarily, hesaid Mr.. Jackson would
not 1ee expected to return so near the end
of the term.
The usual practice with regard to petit
tions for rehearing is TO grant them upon
the motion of one of the members of the
court who has concurTed i'll the decision
already made, but it would appear from
the course taken in the present instance OF
submitting even this preliminary matter TO
the full bench, that none of the justices felt
disposed to make such a motion and that the
arrangement now announced was hit upon
as q compromise. Justice Jackson will
will therefore virtually come into the case
as an umpire.
In the meantime the original decision will
be allowed to stand as the law, and it is
understood that the full text of the chief
Justices opinions will soon be given to the
public.
Nothing is known as TO whether or-not
the rehearing if ordered will take place
at this term of court. Ordinarily the court
would take a recess from May 6 for two
weeks and then adjourn until next october.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT SERVED
Fashionable Society Shocked BY an

Hon. George Curzon and His Bride are Liv-
ing Next Door to the Clevelands
at Woodley.

There was an Easter festivity in fash
ionable society that set the tide of gossip
afloat at a lively rate. At present the ins
and outs Of the affair are being discussed
with all the added interest that is sure to
accrue when a good story is going the
rounds of society. This is a stone that has
certainly gathered considerable moss as it
rolled, for if half the gay doings attributed
really did take place, it must have been
indeed a gay affair. quite beyond what
generally takes place in the fashionable
houses of the West End
One of the features of the supper was to
have il served at small tables arranged for
four people. On each of these tables,
grouped about the center-piece were three
quart bottles of champagne.
In several notable instances this gener-
GUS supply of champagne was disposed of
in short time to the entertainment of those
guests nearest the gay parties whose hilar-
ity was considerably heightened by their
generous potations,.
1t was notably late party in breaking
up as the guests had fine opportunity,
