CORPORATION TAX
 CASE IS HEARD

Washington, January 19.-The Boston variety of trusts" was subjected today to the scrutiny of the supreme court of the United States in order to ascertain if it came within the corporation tax provisions of the Payne-Aldrich tariff act of 1909. Its consideration followed im- mediately after the conclusion of the oral argument of the constitutionality of the tax included in 15 different cases before the court.
 The trust question was raised by ben efciary of the Gushing Real Estate Trust and the "Department Store Trust of Boston The beneficiary in the latter case was the Maine Baptist Missionary convention.
 The court was told by Moorefield Story and Burton E. Flames, who argued the case, that under the laws of Massachu- setts corporations could not be organized for the express purpose of holding real estate. Hence, persons desiring to- asso- ciate together in purchasing real estate had formed a joint fund and put the le- gal title to the property purchased in the hands of trustees. It was claimed that these trusts were not within the meaning of the words corporation, joint stock company and association as used in the corporation tax provisions. It was further contended that they were not organized under the laws of the United States or of any state or terri tory.
 Solicitor General Lehman for the gov erpment argued that they came within both phrases. His contention as to the latter phrase was that the law meant organization under the statutes of com mon law and not merely under the stat utes of the state.

MISS GLADYS HANSON.

No-it isn't true-not a word of it
 Miss Gladys Hanson (which isn't her name, only a part of 1t. for her real name is Gladys Hanson Snook), the attractive leading lady in "Raffles," did not leap the gulf between an insignificant think ing part to leading lady, with one jump or two jumps or any jump at all!
 She never played small parts-so out through the door with that little yarn.
 It sounds very lovely and stimulating and effective to the ambitious, and 1t has all the vitality of being a-fact.
 Three southern women this season have played to Birmingham audiences to whom the south can point with pride Miss Viola Allen, who was born in Hunts vile, Ala; Miss Bessie Abbot, the grand opera star, who is a native of Charleston, S. C.. and Miss Gladys Hanson, who comes of good old Georgia stock.
 None of these has ever gone through an apprenticeship, has had to climb the ladder; in fact, Miss Hanson entered upon the theatrical horizon with 8 hand spring." as it were--overnight; in fact, as you shall presently hear.
 US pity 10 print this solemn truth for all the stage struck girls that read it will want to do precisely what Miss Hanson has done. The Frohmans and the Shuberts will have to hide from them their duty mail will be feminine mess i; but verity must out at any cost and 1 am going to tell you the story of Miss Hansons theatrical career just as she tolJ sat and ehatted and she looked as pret- ty as peach, her dark hair and creamy skin, her soft gray eyes and her pretty mouth suggesting Miss Mary Mannering in many ways.
