NORMAL AGAIN WINS WITH HENDERSON UP

Little Rock, April 29.-Taking ad- vantage of the loose playing of the Lit tie Rock College infield, the State Normal of Conway made clean sweep of the series, 10 to 3, at Forest park yesterday. Little Rock made eight errors. While the Teachers were running around the bases, C.. Henderson, the elongated pitcher who will join the Charleston club of the Delta League at the end of the college year, was holding the local athletes to five scattered hits. He started Tues days game, but retired in the fourth inning, when he lost control. He show ed world of stuff yesterday and al- though his team mates bobbled four chances, they were with him in the pinches, and Henderson never was in any real danger. Yorio, who blew up in the eighth inning of Tuesdays game, attempted to stage a comeback yesterday, but failed.
 Coach Warner gave Yorio the hook in the third inning, after the Normals were one run ahead and two runners were on the paths. Fletcher went in without warming up and the Normals made five runs in the third and four more in the fourth before Fletcher settled down.
 Fair, Normal center fielder, made the feature play when he took in Hale's vicious drive in the ninth in- ming. The ball scared over second base and curved toward left field Fair raced after it and, leaping up in the air, brought the pill down with one mitt. Warner also made a nice catch of Tanners hard drive in the ninth inning, when he took the ball a few inches off the ground. He lost his balance and rolled over, but held the ball.

U.S.. MUST MAKE
HUGE REFUNDS
Decision Opens Way To
Dodge Taxation, Says
Hull

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Under
the ruling of the Supreme court yes
terday declaring unconstitutional GER
tain parts of the 1916 income tax act,
the federal government must refund
millions Of dollars in taxes collected
on stock dividends since the law be-
came effective. Internal revenue bu-
reau officials said the exact total of
the refunds could not be estima ed at
this time and that it would not be
known until all claims had been III
ed and computed.
Provisions of the 1916 federal in
come tax law levying taxes on stock
dividends were declared unconstitu-
ticnai. The decision also nullined
similar provisions of the pre- sent law
and will involve great loss in reve-
nues to the government in future COL
lections and also refunds to such taxes
already collected. Large financial in
terests likewise will be affected and
extensive "melon cutting" is ex-
pecled.
The attempt of congress, in the in
come tax law, to tax stock distribu-
tions, the majority decided to be un-
constitutional and not permitted by
the sixteenth, or income tax amend
ment to the federal constitution. Stock
dividends, the majority held, may be
taxed only after stockholders realize
upon them by sale, in which case the
government may levy income taxes on
such profits.
Representative Hull, Democrat,
Tennessee, author of the income tax
law, declared that the decision mot
only destroys the last vestige of con-
gressional power to tax stock divi-
dends," but also annuls the present
law for taxation of personal service
corporations"-those in which indi-
vidual service is the chief factor.
"The effect" said Mr.. Hull, ''is that
any group of individuals may form ar
tifcial entities and screen themselves
and avoid large amount of their just
