Clerk n. Stewart Jones. OF the SUI
preme Court OF Appeals. yesterday re-
ceived notice from the clerk Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States OF
the dismissal of the writ OF error In
the case OF the Penn Iron Company
against the receivers OF the Trigg Ship
building Company.
This was ono Of the suits arising
from the failure OF the shipbuilding
concern, which had contracts for the
construction OF vessels for the United
States Navy. The receivers won in the
Circuit Court OF the city OF Richmond
in 1907, the iron company appealing to
tho State Supreme Court. which az
tirmed the Judgment. The United
States being party to the suit, an ap-
peal was taken to the highest court
in the nation. which granted a writ of
error last November. This writ is
now dismissed before argument could
be had.
While the reason for this action is
not given. 1t Is presumed that lack OF
jurisdiction was the cause. The liuga-
ton is thus finally determined.

and corruption than any other tar if measure that has ever passed Congress. the income tax provision is the only redeeming feature of the entire bill. In all it's provisions it's hands falls on the necessities of the poor, save the income tax, which alone falls on the rich
 It is well known that Associate Justice Marian is heartily in favor of the law for taxing incomes of the wealthy. It is thought that President Taft could clearly show his sincere support of that tax by appointing Associate Justice Mar Ian to the chief justiceship of the supreme court, who is outspoken in support of an income tax, and
 indeed 1t would be the most popu- lar act that President Taft has ever done. Also in appointing two other justices to that court the President can appoint those whose views are well known on that sub ject. So now, if President Taft is sincerely in favor of a tax on in- comes it is entirely in his power to have that law affirmed, which was passed last year If, on the other hand, the income tax feature of the tariff bill is declared unconstitution- al by the supreme court the blame must be laid entirely at the door of President Taft and the country will then know that his alleged support of the income tax was a sham and a deception.

Try This OF Your Sneeze.

Sometimes church services, etc, are interrupted by the people coughing and sneezing. A doctor suggests that you can prevent a cough or sneeze when you feel it coming, by pressing your upper liz firmly, just under your nose.
 To stop hiccough, press your cheek just in front of your ear The explanation is that the press ure on the nerves at these points stops the spasmotic action of the muscles which causes the cough sneeze or hiccough, as the case may be.
