Morning, before breakfast, is said to
be the very best time for thinking.
There are always exceptions. Then,

perhaps never tried the experiment

DECISION EXEMPTS
MANY FROM TAX
Supreme Court Rules Con-
cerning Leases.

Washington, April s.-Hundreds OF
corporations will be relief from paying
the Federal corporation tax by deci-
sion yesterday of the Supreme Court to
the effect that corporations leasing all
thei rproperty and having no income
except that yielded by the lease are not
doing business" and therefore are not
subject to the tax. This phase of the
corporation tax arose in the case of the
Mine Hill & Schuykil Railroad Com
pany once operating a railroad in
Pennsylvania, now released to the
Reading.
About 500 claims, involving 100000
paid into the Treasury under the cor
poration tax act, turned upon the de-
cision in this case. Besides the many
railroads leasing their property In a
similar way. nearly 100 telegraph COM
panies are said to have leased property
to one operating company. Justice Day
announced a dissenting opinion, in
which Justices Hughes and Lamar con-

HAMMOND WILL
NOT ENTERTAIN It
Indiana Society Would Visit
City, But None Will
Lead Movement.

The Indiana Society will not come to
Hammond for it's annual outing this
year Hammond might have had tho
honor of entertaining the society. but
there was no one to take the initiative
or the responsibility and so the project
went by default
The idea seemed to be that 1t was too
big job for this community to tackle.
Gary might have undertaken 1t but not
Hammond. The city of Hammond has
all of the facilities for such an enter
tainment but no one to take hold of it
A large number of Hammond people
will attend the banquet of the Indiana
Society at Chicago on the nineteenth in
hoonr of Joe De Frees, former preside Mt
of the club who is just returning from a
trip around the world. The affair will
be held at the Blackstone Hotel.

PURCHASED
BY BANK

From the confusiSn OF cfafms counter
claims, joint claims and cross claims
regarding the ownership of the resi-
dence that has ben occupied by Phillip
Hudson for the past two years 1t now
develops that the property is owned by
the American Trust & Savings Bank.
Mr.. Emerine said today that the bank
had purchased the property and that 1t
is free of all membranes. He said
that the bank had taken over the equity
