regiment of cases affecting the
great corporations which are pend
ing before the supreme court Of
the United State Ioomed up prom
inently today as q probable OUT
come of the death of Justice Brew
or last night. These include the
dissolution suits against the Stand

American Tobacco Co. and the
corporation tax cases.
A decision of those cases by the
seven Justices on the bench now
that Justice Brewer has passed
away, and Justice Moody is in
capaeitated for service on account
of rheumatism, is believed to de-
pend almost entirely upon unan-
iminty of opinions on the ques-
tions. Some lawyers who have
followed closely the decisions of
the supreme court scout the idea
that such unanimity exists and
therefore, they are free in express
ing the view that these cases will
be set for reargunent before the
full court. II is probable that a
vote already has been taken on all
of these cases. II this be true and
the court was equally devided or

country q decision which might
have resulted differently If it had
