DRAFTING CORPORATION TAX.

Interest in the corporation tax propo
sition centered today upon the form which
the amendment will take and whether it
will be framed to apply the tax so as TO
include the earnings of the corporation
applicable to payment of interest on
bonds as well as to dividends.
The amendment is Ia process of con-
struction. The tentative draft has been
supplied by the Attorney General.
1t will probably be changed more than
once before finally reported by the COM
mittee on finance That committee Is
meeting every night. but Will not bring
out the corporation tax amendment. IL is

Already, however. protests are coming

ASSIGNMENT SET ASIDE.
Insurance of John Shea to Be Dis
tributed Among His Children.

Justice Wright today in Equity Court
No. rendered decision and signed a
decree in the case of Maria Waters
against Margaret kopp and others grant
ing the prayers of the defendants for
the cancellation of an alleged assign
ment by the late John Shea, their ia
ther. of a ten-thousand-dollar life insur-
ance policy to Mrs. Waters.
Upon the death of John Shea in July
1905. a Will dated December IA, 1906 was
filed for probate. by which the proceeds
of the policy referred to were distributed
in certain sums among all his children,
but it appeared that December 81 of the
same year an assignment of the entire
fund was made Mrs Waters, by .Attor-
ney Irving Williamson. insisted upon the
validity of the transfer to her by filing a
bill in equity to enforce it, to which Mrs
kopp. by Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert
and X. III. featman, interposed a cross
bill claiming that the policy had in 1881
been taken out by their mother, Maria
Shea, paid for by her during her life and
then from 1900 10 1906 kept up by the
children.
Justice Wright held that the children
having acquired an interest with the as
sent of John Shea the deceased had no
power to assign, and that where one of a
number Jointly interested paid a lien or
assessment, 1t was presumed to be for the
common welfare. unless stipulated to the
contrary. BY the decree Mrs. Waters is
reimbursed for amounts paid in excess of
the rest and the balance is distributed

ceived the oath of Office which made him

"BLUNDER" IN EARLY's CASE.
Medical Record Scores "Egregrious
Lephrobia' Of Health Oficer.

Under the heading, "Egregious Lephro-
bia,' the Medical Record OF June 10
prints an editorial in which the Early
case is represented as presenting "pe-
culiarly fragrant instance Of official cru
city inspired by unreasoning fear
The editorial gives what purports to be
a complete history of the case and con-
cludes:
AnalyZing this case We cannot see the
slightest ground for even guessing that
the man had leprosy. He went to Wash.
ington with an acute infammatory der.
mathis, caused by vegetable poison and
of only five or six weeks duration. Lep-
rosy would have taken as many years to
have involved an equal area so severely.
During his Imprisonment all this has
slowly disappeared. without treatment,
the cause being removed.
1.-THE whole case seems to be one OF
official blundering. And the blunder is
in danger Of becoming something worse
by the action Of the health officer In
placing every possible obstacle in the
way Of the mans freedom.
The officials Of the New York health
department have in writing said thai he
would be admitted here, as. for some
years past the board of health of this
city has considered that leprosy in this
climate is not of so infectious or con-
tagious A ma ure as to require segrega-

guard around his place Of confinement.

possible. there is absolutely no excuse
