1HE SCENES OF &c RECALLED.
Not since the exciting and historic
scenes that we're crowded tn the stuhy
little Supreme Court room during the
memorable sittings Of the notorious cleo
toral commission of 1916 has mere been
such a gathering Of prominent public
men as that which awaited the handing
down Of the income tax decision by the
court this morning. 1t is not an unusual
sight on the sidewalks OF great cities
10 see long strings of men and boys
awaiting an opportunity TO enter the
opening door TO secure front seats in the
Fit reserved for the gallery gods. but 1t
vas an unusual sight at an early hour
to-day TO see senators of renown, law
yers of fame and officials OF high re-
quite gathering long before noon In the
marble corridor in 'front.' of the Supreme
- courA door. This however, was the
case. Ind within STEW minutes after the
doors were opened there was scarcely &
seat in the chamber uaoccupied by mel
OF national reputation. The news how
ever, had gone abroad that the court
was evenly divided upon this subject. and
this of course gave an additional interest
TO the decision, both TO the advocates and
opponents OF the income tax.
The illness of Judge Jackson has pre-
vented his sitting upon this case at all,
and consequently left II possible that an
even division could occur. The general
impression seems 10 be that IN the
light of other division I'm the court I'M
limited litigation is certain to arise
and IL is regarded unfortunate that
the present bench was not fun at the
hearing IN order that during the term
OF the present court that the matter
would have been definitely settled. The
appeal. of course. fails as no majority
sustains II. but II has left the present
situation n 'picnic" for the lawyers anC
source OF considerable anxiety to the
administration and department officers.
