ing Company. at 22d and streets
northwest, for $4,000. The plaintiff
asserts that the property was adver-
tised at an unusual hour and that the
sale was conducted despite the weather.

that postponement should have been
made The price also is inadequate, the

Trust Company. which had been named
as trustee under a mortgage securing
an issue of $4,000 in bonds on the
property and who conducted the sale.
He also says that the trust company
holds $1,000 of the notes secured by

Approves Income Ruling.

Secretary McAdoo has approved an
income tax ruling that income received
from a partnership cannot be traced to
its source behind the partnership for
the purpose of claiming individual re-
demption."
The provisions of the law relating to
the exclusion of income derived from
interest upon national and state
obligations and TO the exclusion
70 for the purposes of normal tax of in
come derived from dividends are ap-
viduals and not 70 income accruing TO
partnerships as such. The body of the
decision follows:
The share of the profits of partner
. ship to which any taxable partner
, would be entitled if the same We're di-
: vided. whether divided or otherwise. is
required by the law to be returned for
taxation: and no provision is made bv
the law for the exclusion Of any part
of the share of such profits by reason
of the source from which it may have
been derived by the partnership.
1t is therefore held that the share
of the profits of partnership TO which
any taxable partner would be entitled
IL the same were divided whether di
vided or otherwise, is subject to tax in
the character of income derived from
the partnership as the source, what
ever it's character may have been when
il accrued 70 the partnership itself; and
that the net distributive interests. on
which the individual members are la
BILE for tax. should include their pro-
portionate shares of the profits of the
partnership derived from interest upon
the obligations of a state or any po-
litical subdivision thereof and upon
the obligations of the United States or
Its possessions and from divi-
dends or the capital stock or from the
