brief has been filed in the United

Numerous decisions are cited. in one OF
which. Shelton agt. Pratt. 139 U. s. 59l,
Mr.. Chief Justice Fuller stated the rolioW-
Ing directly in point:
1.-The ground upon which Dodge agt.
Woolsey proceeded was that stockhoider
had a remedy in chancery against the di-
rectors of his corporation TO restrain them
from doing acts which would amount TO
violation of the charter, or to prevent
any misapplcation OF their capital OF
profits, which might lessen the value or
the shares, IL the acts Intended to be done
amounted TO breach of trust or duty. and
that the refusal of the directors to assist
the collection of tax, which they them-
selves believed to have been imposed upon
them in violation of their charter, was IN
legal effect breach of trust
. 'In addition to the element of breach
Of trust on the part of directors, there is
also presented in the cases at bar the GER
tainty that as long as the various queS-
tfons presented remain undecided by the
Supreme Court of the United States the
failure to contest the act will involve null
tipIicity of suits with shareholders of the
trust companies, as well as with the hene-
ficiaries for when it is acting as trustee.&c
g. THE unconstitutionahty of the law IS
asserted upon several grounds. First, IN
that il imposes a direct tax with respect
of real estate rents. issues and prohts. as
well as of income Id profits or personal
property which. not being apportioned, IS
in violation of section =, article 1 OF the
Constitution Second In that it's provisions
are not uniform throughout the United
States, and il provides for exemptions and IN
eaualities in violation of section 5, article
10 Third, in that IL makes no exemption
of the tax upon incomes derived from tne
stocks and bonds of states, counties and
municipal cities, which amounts to S6ooTl,-
600 annually and which Is not proper
subject for the taxing power OF Congress

The Proposed Inebriate Asylum.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Having read Mr.. Meredith's bill intro
duced in the House to provide for an asy-
lum for inebriates, SO heartily Join with
him in his proposition that 1 cannot re-
frain from saying that I am one OF many
who wish and pray for this very thing con-
tinually. 1 think this subject has been given
less attention heretofore than any other, and
no one knows but the mothers, sisters and
daughters of drinking men how very mucn
in need we are of an institution OF this
kind. Money Is always provided FOR the
welfare Of young men and women In al
most every other branch, and surely no
building could be erected that would be OF
more comfort and save so much distress
to many people as one Of this nature GER
tainly would. In this particular instance
it is the case of a heart-broken mother,
whose son Is very intirm and weak. and
his only failing exists in submitting to
into intoxication that he consequently suf-
fers the same penalty as the criminal. Is
it right that one whose only weakness is
in overstepping his capacity for drink
should be thrown with the infamous and
those devoid Of character? Has 1t ever
been known to reform or better any such
person? 1 don't see how it could. 1t is,
most undoubtedly, the worse for them. 1
most emphatically recommend, with many
other sufferers of the same kind, that
such an asylum be provided as soon as
possible. II. II.
