er of Berkshire, son of the American
inventor of sewing machines, has com
planned to the royal commission on
income tax that his income derived
from property in the United States is
so deprecated by double taxes, once
in America and once in Great Britain,
that he cannot continue to reside in
this country. The United States, he
said, takes 81 to SO per cent and the

one-half of what is left after the
American tax is deducted.

RAIL STOCKS
AGAIN LEAD
Show Early Strength But
Recede on Profit Taking
AT Close.
EXPECT TAX DECISION
Wall Street Believes Su-
preme Court May State
Decision Tomorrow.
EXPECT TAX DECISION

New York, Feb. 2S.-Professional
traders tried to continue the ad-
vance of rails again today but with
Indifferent success. Most of the ad-
vances were lost before the close.
There was no public following at
all. Rock Island and Southern Rail-
way displayed some strength, but
even they failed to hold their gains.
Selling of industrials continued
heavy. The short interest is large
and shows no disposition to cover.
What optimism there was in the
Street was based largely on the
theory that President Wilson would
sign the railroad bill Immediately.
Account was also taken OF the pos
sibility of the Supreme Court hand
ing down a decision Monday in the
income tax cases. There was also
some selling on account of the possl-
bility of an income tax decision ior
the language of the law Is very
clear on this point and says dlNl-
dends are taxable. Lawyers say the
Supreme Court can nullify that 1ea-
ture of the law only by declaring
IL unconstitutional. Such declard-
tion in regard to stock dlvldenos :
would not affect any other part Oh
the law.
There was also some selling on
the theory that the attorney geneiai
would file an appeal in the SOUTH
ern Pacific land cases. He mas
stated that he will take no appeal
but the attempt of a Congressman
to force the government to appear
the case, Wall Street argued, mad
put the attorney general in a deli
cate position politically. The mat
ter is so important that Wall street
thinks the Supreme Court and not
the attorney general should be the
final arbiter.
S@IIing of the motor stocks and
particularly of General Motors has
been accompanied with a rumor OF
new interests becoming Identified
with the properties. The covering
OF an extensive line of shorts in
General Motors raises the suspicion
that these stories may have been
put out for the purpose Of breaking
the stock.

HIGHER SILVER
ANTICIPATED
Continued Heavy Demand
Basis for Predic-
ton.
OUTPUT IS LIMITED
Supply Far Below Present
Requirements Here and
Abroad.
OUTPUT IS LIMITED

So great is the demand for silver
that it Is difficult to predict where the
upward trend Of the prices will stop.
However. the United States is given
the credit for holding the upper hand
at this time. according to a dispatch
received at the Bureau Of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce from the Ameri-
can Chamber Of Commerce in London.
The report points ont that 1t has
become profitable in most countries
for them to convert their minted sil-
yer into bullion, and that small
change" continues to disappear on
the continent with remarkable rapid
ity, postage stamps largely replacing
the former silver coin Of small value.
The silver standard in use in ORR
entail countries. coupled with the
enormous commercial expansion
now in course of progress between
the West and the East, indicates
that there is an immense shortage
of the white metal to meet the de-
mands Of trade, the chambers re-
port says, and continues: One result
of this shortage is that American and
Mexican silver mines may look for
ward confidently to an era OF un-
precedented prosperity for many
years to come. Silver must also be
found to back over $4,000. 100000
worth of paper money issues float
ing in Europe today, in addition to
which Americas increasing volume
of trade with India and China calls
for almost unlimited supplies of the
metal.
While American and British trade
with the East monthly attains
higher levels. Oriental supporters
continue to pile up balances owing
them by the Western nations, and
as the price of the white metal ad-
vances IL has become profitable to
most countries to convert minted
silver into bullion.
