TAX HELD ILLEGAL

Against Public Policy-Mil-
lion In Revenue Involved,

Vice Chancellor Fielder OF Newark
to-day filed a decision in the suit cf
william Allen OF Philadelphia to re-
strain the san Francisco Sugar Com
pany, a New Jersey corporation ~
which he is a stociehoider. from leas-
ing it's assets TO a Cuban corporation
for ten years, to evade the payment
OF more than $1,oOO,oOO Federal in
come taxes. The Vice Chanceflo- de-
cided in Aliens 6avor and ruled that
the proposed lease WIS contrary 20
public policy. Later he will sign a
decree embodying his decision and
carrying permanent injunction
against the company.
Allen owns 1900 shares OF the conf
pany's stock. of 800 par value. The
company owns sugar plantations in
Cuba and in 1919. according to testi-
mony, the dividends on its capital
stock Of S1,25O,oOO amounted to 20 per
cent. In affidavits answering the
stockholders bill Of complaint the
companys directors admitted that the
purpose OF the lease was to evade the
payment OF Federal income taxes In

The Vice Chancellor said in his deci-
sion:
ITO permit the stockholders of This
company to go through the form OF
leasing their prporty, while retaining
its substance and not only receive
profits therefrom in substantial
amount, but also add TO those profits
n large sum of money which the com
pany is now required by law to nay
as its pro rata share, with the rest on
tho public. for governmental, war and
other purposes. is a proceeding which
equity will not sanction because II is
against the public policy"

PARTY MACHINES
CARRY PRIMARIES
FOR DELEGATES
Johnson and Hoover Contest
ants DeciSively Defeated
No Convention Pledges.

PyIticai orEanization leaders were
pleased to-day as they viewed the
practically complct, .c:urns from yes
tcrday's Presidential primary IN this
state. It was apparent that as a rc-
suit OF the primary, solid New York
delegations viii go to the Republican
and Democratic National Conventions
uninstructed and unpledgcd.
Despite the determined efforts Of
local supporters OF Herbert Hoover
and Senator Hiram johnson TO Ert a
part OF the Republican delegation, the
state machine proved invincblo. The
best showing made by the supporters
Of any candidate was in tho Seven
teenth Congressional District, wherc
Mabel Choatc. heading the Hoover
ticket, received 1854 votes to $500 CO ytt
for Herbert Parsons, Republican Ma
t!onal Committeeman.
The johnson forces wero over
whelmingiY beaten. William NJ. Ben
nett, running for delegate at large un-
der a johnson pledge, was in NTH ard
last place in every county in the State
from which returns had been received
up to noon to-day. His best showing
was made in Brooklyn. where tabu-
lated returns give him 1887 votes as
against 81 ,189 for Col. WSlllam Boy &C
Thompson, the low man on the ma
chimes big Four" slate. The johnson
district delegates did not fare az well.
In the eight Brooklyn and four Man
haitian districts they were beaten from
two to four to one. 4
In the Seventh Congressional Dis
trict, one Independent Republican
delegate has apparently been
elected. He is Paul Windels, who is
now ahead Of Michael ]. Dady
an organization candidate. The
| windels ticket was a protest against
the leadership OF jacob A. Livingston
and was not allied with any OF th'
presidential aspirants.
| The johnson candidates IN this
district, +. c. Wagner and John t
Walsh, were overwhelmingly beaten
Hoover supporters were not down
cast over their defeat in the onlJ
Congressional District in which they
made a fight. They declared that
the vote cast for Miss Choate against
the recognized leader Of the State or
! ganization. under conditions which
prevailed. indicated a growing Hoove1
sentiment.
