HITS STEP-MOTHER.
 CAUGHT BY FATHER
Philip Josensky of 50 Broad Street Arrested on Complaint of
 Father

Domestic troubles at the Josensky domicile at No. 50 Broad street were brought to a sudden climax this morning when Philip Josensky, aged nineteen years, suddenly revolted and punched his step-mother wicked blow in the nose. The step-mother crumpled up in a heap on the floor and when she came to she sent out an s. O. $. call for her husband. MT. Josensky had evidently been ap- praised of what had taken place. for enroute home he met his son on Main street and grappled with him, calling for the police. Officer Fred Wagner was dispatched to the scene and locked the young man up on a charge of assault
 From reports given by both the step-mother and the son there is bad blood between the two The wife declares that the step-son detests her and he in turn declares that his step- mother is no good. Things have been getting worse at the house and this morning Mrs Josensky was standing over the sink washing some dishes The young man wanted to use the sink at the same time, but his step mother showed him aside, whereupon he hit her in the nose, splitting that member open, she declares.
 Young Josensky admits having trouble with his step-m other, but de- nies hitting her. All that he did, he told Sergeant Herting at police head quarters, was to shove her back, her head banging against the iron work and cutting her nose. He will be given a hearing in police court tomorrow.

AN AMAZING RULING.
WIN the Treasury'S Arbitrary Ruling
BE Allowed 10 Stand?

To THE EpiToR oF THE SuN-Sb: Your
article on AN Amazing Ruling About the
Income Tax" raises the question of the
right OF n Government bureau to make
arbitrary rulings and interpretations of
acts which 1t is its duty to enforce.
should like to read your studied opinion
on this phase of the matter.
When "A competent court OF law has in
terpreted an act we recognize the fact
that such Interpretation Is the law and
that 1t must be obeyed But must an
equal reverence be paid to the opinion Of
Mr. McAdoo or Mr.. Osborn? Are their
opinions any better than yours or mine
until they have been so declared by a
court? And are they likely to be sus-
tained? Are the various departments
ever in agreement? Referring to tho cor
poration tax law OF 1902 Montgomery
Auditing" says
"For some time after the passage OF he
act the Treasury Department
and the Attorney Generals Department
were unable to agree as to the
method of collection, the exemptions, &c"
In this case 1t was the Attorney Gen
erals Department that finally backed
down." tho Treasury Department having
taken the common sense stand OF inter.
preting the law with reference to sclen-
tihc accounting practice although 1t was
necessary to give II. as written, an awful
twist In order So to do. But had such
action not been taken by the collecting
department the attempt to collect would
have resulted in endless litigation.
That such litigation would have resulted
unftvorably for the Government s evil
denced by the outcome of one case re-
ported in the work ! have previously re-
fcrred to. The Government sued the
Nipissing Mines Company on question
OF depreciation. Judge Lacombe not only
found for the company but in his charge
he thoroughly puncturod the theory held
by the Department up to that time.
IT an act Is so loosely drawn as to
leave questions as to its intent what
right has the, collecting agency to settle
those questions oThand?
