IS Floors to
Street.; Lives

Chicago, Jan. 24-Miss Minnie B.
Werner, stenographer, plunged
from the sixteenth floor CT the Trans
portation building in Dearborn street
today and escaped instant death.
Physicians said, however, that her
injuries probably would be fatal, as
her skull was fractured and she sus-
tanned internal injuries.
Her fall was broken by an automo-
bile truck loaded with paper boxes on
which she landed.
Witnesses told the police that the
young woman raised the window and
climbed out onto the ledge.
Miss Werner was "a years old and
had been employed by the Railway Age
Gazette for five years. She had COM
planned of being ill last Friday, her
employers said, but they knew of no
reason why she should seek to end her
life.

TURKEY MAY TAKE
BLAME IN SINKING
OF LINER PERSIA

Washington, Jan. 24-Unofficial dis
patches from abroad indicating that
Turkey might acknowledge that one of
her submarines sunk the British liner
Persia promise to revive the diplo-
matte features of that disaster.
State department officials had no
dispatches on the subject today from
Ambassador Morgenthau. Neither had
they received any official word from
Ambassador Penfeld at Vienna trans
hitting Austria's official disavowal Of
any connection with the disaster, re-
ported unofficially last week
Until the intimation came that Tur-
key might assume responsibility it was
generally assumed in official quarters
that the cause of the sinking Of the
liner would be numbered among the
mysteries OF the war.
There is no indication of what turn
the case will take in the light of the
latest information. None of the Teu-
tonic allies except Germany and Aus
tria has been included in the Ameri-
can governments correspondence on
submarine warfare.
1t was indicated today that any in
quiry which might be directed to Tur-
key would not be sent until after vi
emma had been heard from.

INCOME TAXHELD
VALID BY COURT;
PLAINTIFF LOSES

Washington, Jan. 24-The supreme
court today upheld the constitutional
y OF the income tax law.
thief Justice White gave the courts
oe2ision, sweeping aside all the many
objections to its constitutionality in
whole or In part.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision In the case of Frank R. Bru-
snaber, stockholder Of the Union Pa
elhc railroad, who sought to enjoin the
company from paying the tax on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
Most OF Justice Whites opinion was
directed toward overruling the conten-
aoh thar the income tax amendment
provides hitherto unknown power of
taxation. Going far into the history
VI income tax legislation the chief JUS
uce concluded the argument was with
Out merit.
Advancing TO other points, the chief
justice held that the tax was not I'M
institutional because it was retro
active.
The argument that the law was I'M
institutional because labor, agricul-
lure and horticultural organizations
ahd such were exempt, the chief JUS
uee held, was answered by decisions
slaer the corporation tax law. He
s3io the point was only another illus
ration Of an erroneous assumption
@at the tax was imposed under a new
power conferred on the government
W The 18th amendment, whereas it
Has power recognized to exist from
aie beginning OF the government, and

previously rendered were applicable

BLAME RIVER FOR
EASTLAND'S FATE

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 24.-Cap-
tain Walter Scott, former harbor mas
ter of Chicago and witness for the de-
tense in the case of the tipping of the
steamer Eastland, testified that sound
ings he made in the Chicago river re-
vealed rock formation several feet in
area adjacent to the Eastland's dock
and that submerged piling was found
by his diver.
The defense contends that submerged
piling or rock caused the tipping of
the Eastland instead of the accident
being due to faulty construction of the
ship.
