q enera1Iy Expecteu THU tHe
curt Will Adjourn for the Term
on the Twentieth.

Washington, May 10.-The rehear-
ing Of the income tax case in the SUI
preme coart was concluded at 2 o'clock
today, Az. Che nine justices took the
question Of the acts constitutionality
in whole or in part under consideration.
May 20, the court will meet, probably
for the. last time this term, to render
its decision in pending cases, and it is
expected its conclusions upon the in
come tax case will be announced at
that time.
Joseph II. Choate, of New York, fin
ished the closing argument, which he
began yesterday, speaking until 2
O'Clock, and receiving the closest atten-
ton from the justices and crowd OF
spectators. 1t has been generally re-
marked that interest in the hearing had
been much less intense than at the first
argument. Justice Jackson was one OF
the most attentive Of the nine men on
the bench throughout the hearing. He
seems to have borne the strain we'll,
considering the condition of his health.
Mr.. Choate first took up for exami-
nation the argument OF the attorney
general that if the decision in regard to
rentals were to stand, there should be
no limit to the time the exemption
should run. The attorney general had
pleaded that with such ruling in
force, it might be impossible to ever
tax the proceeds derived from rents,
however they might be invested. Mr..
Choate said in reply that it was sufti-
cient that the law left no such question
open. The provision was for taxing
rents at the moment of their receipt,
and he, for one, should not be so fool
hardy as to claim that when the rent
money should be invested it should not
be subject to the original ruling of the
court in this case.
Mr.. Choate commended that of the
vast sum expended in the civil war, a
very small proportion had been derived
from the income tax, which was in OPP
GRAFTON at that time. Taking up the
thread of his affirmative argument,
Mr.. Choate declared the question of
taxation had been one of the most
prominent in the minds of the trainers
of the constitution. The members OF
that body were the representatives OF
men who knew all about the question,
for they had studied here, as their an.
cestors had in England, under the
Plantagenets, the Stuarts and the Tud.
ors.
Mr.. Choate then proceeded on the
basis that the court had decided that
lands were to be free from direct taxes
and that there was to be no difference
for tax purposes between the body Of
land and its proceeds. He then entered
upon the discussion of the undecided
questions, contending there were the
same reasons for exempting incomes
that existed from exempting bonds ant
real estate.

Porter, of Chicago, arrived here last
night ON his annual business trip to in
vestigate the fruit crop prospects of

the Eastern states promises to be good,
Mr.. Porter believes fruitfarmers of Cal
ifornia will reap golden harvest Mr..
Porter was the first man to send full
carload of California fruit East, which
he did in 1869, the year the overland
railroad was started.

Indicted Omcials Discharged.

Chicago, May 9.-In the United
States district court today, Judge Bum
ordered the dismissal of the suit
against Clarence g. Cheney and other
officers of the Western Banknote Com
pany. The officers of the company were
indicted last fall for printing the Mis-
sissippi state bonds, declared by the
United States department to be money.
The attorney general of the United
States regarded the banknote company
as being ignorant of violation of the
law, and recommended the discharge
of the indicted officers.

NILE BE LAUNCHED IN JUNE
Money No object" Is the Motto of the
Syndicate Building the Yacht, and
Speed Their Desire.

Bristol, R. l., May s. Since the
visit of G. o. Iselin to the Herreshoffs
early in the week there has been evil
dence that the work on the defender
will be kept up steadily in the hope to
launch her by the middle of June. AS
an inducement to rapid work the pay of
the platers and riveters, with their help
ers, has been raised % cents per day,
at the suggestion of Mr.. Iselin.
The new sails are rather well adj
vanced, but ON account of the short
time between now and the middle Of
June it is necessary to putting some ex-
ira time ON them, and on that account
several sailmakers are working
evenings.
1t is probable there will be no trouble
in launching the defender on account
of her great draught, as the channel
under the launching ways was dug out
about two years ago, and unless it was
partially filed up with sand in the big
storm of last February, she will slide
off without trouble.
The arrival of a carload of aluminium
floor beams has given great impetus
to the work ON the defender and since
their arrival has practically settled the
last point of doubt as to the materials
to be employed in the general construc-
ton of the boat.
That money is no object is the
motto of the defender syndicate is effec.
lively demonstrated by the lavish use
to be made of this extremely costly
metal. AS to the actual cost of the de-
fender not even Mr.. Iselin or Nat Her.
reshoff can yet tell, but those who are
competent to figdre on such mat
tiers place the probable cost at starting
time at from $3.50, 900 to 100000.

Most Destructive Known in the Vicinity
of Bradford for Many Years.
Bradford, Pa, May 1.-THE most
destructive forest fires known in this
section for years have been raging for
the past week. About o'clock this
morning fire started between Glen
Hazel and Keltner. Delivers saw
mill, located between these points, was
soon destroyed together with 10, 900, 900
feet of lumber, an engine-house, rail
road switches, sixteen cars of lumber
and coal, eight dwellings, an oil we'll
and several thousand acres Of timber
land. A special train containing a
steamer and large force Of firemen
was sent from here. The firemen were
unable to do anything but divert the
course of the flames. Everything is
dry and the leaves and underbrush fur
nish abundant fuel for the blaze. The
flames are going up the hillside at a
rapid rate, and destroying everything
in their path. The sky is black with a
sitting smoke, and the flames shoot up
as high as the tops of the trees. Sew
eral people were injured in escaping
from the flames This afternoon an
appeal was received from Glen Hazel
asking for more help, and thirty five
firemen with hose were sent by special
train. 1t was feared the fire was about
to cross the east branch of the Clarion
river and sweep out the town of Glen
Hazel. The woods along the Erie rail
road, between Keltner and Bradfod,
are on fire and it is feared the loss to
Oil and lumber property will be great.
Fires are raging between Rixford

berlands, and large quantities of tim
Der have been destroyed. The Column
bia Oil Company's property is now
threatened. Between Crawford juno
ton and Riterville fierce fire is rag
ing on both sides of the Erie tracks. A
fire has been in progress at the Chin

Does Not Object to Sugar Duty.

Vancouver, B. c., May S.-Manager
Rogers, of the local sugar refinery, dis
cussing the additional duty of half a
cent per pound on raw sugar, says it
will not affect them much. Since 1889
the price of graduated sugar here has
declined from "a to 12 cents, and
as the article is continually cheapening
Rogers considers the imposition of the
additional duty one of the most ap-
propriate measures for revenue pur-
poses that the government could have
imposed.

CHINESE REGISTRATION.
Mr. Riordan Says the Law Was De-
clared Unconstitutional Over
Year Ago.

Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, accord
ing to Attorney Thomas D. Riordan, will
run up againsta snag if he attempts to have
enforced the State Chinese registration act
of March 20, 1891. Says Mr.. Riordan:
If anything like that is tried I will have some
body arrested for false Imprisonment and ma
licious prosecution. Doesn't the new Labor
Commissioners know that that act was declared
unconstitutional by a decision OF the State
Supreme Court, rendered by Justice Beatty
January 90 OF last year, in the habeas corpus
case of All Cue. The court then declared that
the ''power attempted to be exercised is one
which belongs exclusively to the Federal Gov
eminent, by virtue of its authority 10 regulate
commerce with foreign nations l5ection s, arti-
relating as il does TO a subject-m matter in which
all the people of the United States are con-
cerned and not alone those of California"
We brought the case up in two ways. All Cue
was arrested for failing to obtain certificate
of residence, and George w. Lipman, q ticket
agent OF the Southern Pacific, for selling
ticket to Chinese who wanted to go to some
point within the State. The decision OF the
court settled the entire question.
When that law was passed 1t was supposed
that Mr.. Hart, who was Attorney-General at
that time, had examined it to see if it was
constitutional. Mr.. Hart afterward said that
he did not; that one OF his assistants, Mr.. Lay
so3, performed that service.
Mr. Hart never wanted that law tested. I had
two Chinese and ticket agent arrested soon
after the law was passed, and Mr.. Hart, claim
criminal cases and in all courts, went into the
Police Court and asked for dismissal, throw
ing out, thereby, my habeas-corpus proceedings
in the Federal court.

A HOMELESS |NCURABLE,
Bad Plight of Eight-Year-Old
Lester Camp, a Helpless
Paralytic.
Deserted by His Father, the
Lad Is Dependent Upon
Charity.

Less than years of age, his limbs par
alyzed and utterly helpless, Lester Camp
is without home and dependent upon
cold charity for support. The lad is now
at the Children's Hospital, where he has
found an asylum for three weeks, but in
the absence of some one who is willing to
pay So a week for his support, Secretary
McComb has been notified that the little
cripple must be taken away.
The attention of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children was directed
to the boys lamentable case about month
ago. He was then living with his father
in house on Langton street. Mr.. Camp
was accused of cruelty toward his son, in
that he would lock him up in his room on
leaving for his work in the morning and
keep him there until he returned home at
night. Owing to paralysis of the limbs,
the lad is unable to move without assist
ance, and his utter helplessness is pitiable
to behold.
Mr.. Camp was arrested by Officer Hol-
brook and his case continued for thirty
days. The boy was removed to the Chill
dren's Hospital on Camps agreement to

not be found. He has not kept his prom
Use to pay, hence the notice of the hospital
officials to Secretary McComb to remove
the boy.
The officers of the society are searching
diligently for Camp, but it is likely that he
has left the city, as he cannot be found.
Meanwhile, Secretary McComb will devise
ways and means for keeping the boy at the
hospital until some satisfactory arrange
ment for his support in the future can be
made,
