Tho loss is estimated at 81, ,500, 900 in

It occupies strip from five to eight
miles in width along the southern
shores of Lake Erie.

ing OF the Jaw on tho points that remain.
A member OF the court ia responsible
for the statement that thore will prob
ably be two opinions, and while he did
not 20 to the extent OF indicating on
which side the majority OF opinion
would be, he said that member OF the
majority would writo tho opinion on
tha. side. which would be tho opinion
OF the court, whilo some member OF tho
minority would express tho opinion on
the other side, and there would prob
ably be no independent, individual
opin ions as before.
Tho present intention ia to make the
opinions comparatively brief. They
will cover only the questions left un-
decided in the first decision as to
whether the void provisions cover the
whole act. whether the act as it effects
incomes from personal property as such
arc unconstitutional because it provides
for direct taxation OF them, and whether
tho tax Is invalid on account OF want OF
uniformity. These points were dwelt
upon at length in former opinions. on
the ono side by the opinion Of Justice
White and on the other by that of
Justice Field. Hence, there will be no
necessity for elaborate treatises. The
understanding now is that Justice Har-
.lan will prepare the majority opinion
sustaining the law.
The court, at the same time, will rem
der opinions in large number OF
other cases, which have been argued.
Adjournment for the summer will not
be reached. however, until the follow.
