Burke to Contest
for Sheriff's Office

A contest involving the shrievalty
election will be held in the county
with a of all the ballots cast
in the recent electiol, according to
plans decided upon yesterday after
noon at the meeting OF the Demo-
cratic County Central committee.
A motion was unanimously adopt
ed by the meeting instructing a COM
mittee named to make preparations
to file a petition asking a recount,
within the next few days, as it ap-
pears the time limit is So short.
Sheriff Burke was present and told
the members OF the committee that
if they wanted to start a contest TO
go ahead. Later he said that he
Would sign the petition for a count.
Chairman Robert Richards presid-
ed at the meeting, which was attend
ed by over twenty of the committee
membership.
On the face of the returns Sheriff
Burke was defeated by c. p. Farrell
by thirteen votes. The margin was
not sufficiently small to entitle him
to a recount without a contest, but
it was the sense of the meeting that
a contest should be inaugurated.
A matter that for a time seemed :,
be in conflict with the desire for
contest was the report that Sheriff
Burke had been promised the APP
pointment of superintendent of state
police. Burke, however, told the
committee it need not be embarras-
sed by this fact.
just upon what ground the contest
will be laid is not yet disclosed, al
though there have been some rumors
that the vote i'll the Verdi precinct
would repay a further investigation
These rumors have not been definite

 For Two Years.

Washington, May 7.-The first case to reach the supreme court involving directly the constitutionality of the federal income tax was docketed there today. 1t was an appeal from the refusal of the federal district court in Southern New York to en- join the Union Pacific railroad at the instance of stockholder, Frank R. Brushaber, from paying the tax. Twenty reasons are assigned Tor holding the law unconstitutional.
 It will be year or two before the court. in the ordinary course of busi- ness, will pass upon the case.
 It is claimed that the tax is uncon- stitutional when levied on income of the Union Pacific between May 1, 1913 and Oct. 3, 1913, the date of the pas sage of the law. because this income had been converted into real and per- sonal property by the time the law was passed

 Did Mir. Mellen have anything to do With the Yale and Harvard going to the Pacific coast?' MT. Chase was asked.

 Robbins Is Aroused.
 Questions put to MT. Chase as to de- tails of the purchase of Metropolitan Steamship company and other stocks by the Chilmark company aroused the ire of MT. Robbins, wnose name was mentioned in connection with some of the testimony. Jumping to his feet he declared: 'I object to MT. Folks 1nterrupting the witness while he is in the midst of answering a question"
 He continued to protest in such wig orouS language that Commissioner McChord commanded him to take his seat.
 MT. Chase said the stock of the Chilmark company was owned by himself personally, and not in trust for anyone else. ...
 Then you have made profit of $1,OO0, 900 because the ynilmark com pany owns the Metropolitan com pany?" declared MT. Folk.
 Not at all," replied the witness. '"The Yale and Harvard, still owned by the Metropolitan, are heavily mort gagged and the steamship company has $2,O0O,000 in outstanding obligations"

NO DEPRESSION SIGNS
 SHOWN IN MARKET
Rock Island C0IatcraS Continue to
 Advance? Price Changes Small.

Wall St., 1O:45 A. M.-Although London cabled slightly lower range of prices for American stocks, there was no corresponding depression in the home market at the opening to- day. Price changes were small and uneven, with most of the popular shares on parity or slightly above yesterdays close. Chesapeake & Ohio was again heavy, adding a point to its loss yesterday. Canadian Pa cific was the only other important stock to lose more than a small frac- tion. Rock Island collaterals con- tinued to advance, selling more than five points above their recent low figure.
 Close-The market closed easy to- day. Movements in special stocks swayed the list alternately up and down, with the ternd lower in the late dealings. Publication of the ex- cellent government crop statistics failed to overcome the effect of a 2 1-2 point break in Missouri Pacific and prices declined on increased sell ing for both accounts. Net changes were trivial.
