The court refused to review their

the writ of review exhausted the last
resource of the defendants.
Confessions of Ortie McAlanigal and
James B. Mcnamara, former secretary
OF the union, formed the basis of the
convictions of the defendants who ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court. They
were tried and convicted at lndianap-
oils of conspiracy to transport dyna-
conviction was recently affirmed by
the appellate Federal Court at Chi

Washington.-The income tax law
bids fair to live up to the expectations
of the administration by producing
about $500C0,0O0 annually, in revenue
paid by close to 425,OOO individuals.
Although treasury officials decided
not to make public, for the present,
reports of internal revenue collectors
on the income tax, it became known
that more than 100000 individuals had
made returns up to March 2, when the
time limit expired. From these indi-
viduals 1t was understood the govern
ment probably would collect more
than s4O,OOO.O0O.
1t has been the opinion among Of
ficials that thousands of individuals
would take advantage of the thirty
days extension of time granted in
expect the final figures to show at
least $4,000 more reporting than were
given in the preliminary lists from col
lectors. If they are not mistaken in
this view, the actual results will be
close to the estimates made at the
time the legislation was before Con-
gress. This addition. officials believe.
will not only include the number sub
ject to the tax but the amount to be
collected.
Including the incorporation tax as
amended in the present law it was es-
timated that the annual revenue from
this source would amount to about
ss5 100000.
