TAX CASES WON
BY GOVERNMENT
Interpretation Of Word income
Sustained By Supreme Court
THREE UNANIMOUS DECISIONS
Many Millions lnvolved--oniy Point
Decided Against Officials Was
One in Which Actual Loss
Was Indicated.

Washington-Three sweeping vic
tories were won by the Government
in the Supreme Court Interpretation
of the term income Tor the assess
ment of taxes under the income and
excess profits, act.
The court held that any grain de-
rived from corporate securities, or
corporate assets, and any increase in
the value of a capital investment,
when realized, is taxable as income.
In each case the opinion was Endorsed
by the entire court:
Solicitor General Frierson, who was
present to hear the opinions read, in
terpreted them as upholding in every
particular the contentious of the gov
eminent. He believed elimination OF
problems involved in cases decided
would go far toward relieving the
Treasury Department Of the incon-
veniences it has suffered as a result
of multi-angled tax litigation facing
it for the past year, but it is supposed
to run into hundred millions.
No estimate could be obtained as
to the amount in dollars and cents
affected by the courts action.
Thousands of individuals who had
invested in securities prior to the
World War and who, on the general
period, had sold their holdings at
great profit, were interested in the
outcome.
1t was common knowledge that the
fear of being compelled to turn over
the bulk of their profit to the govern
ment in the form of taxes prevented
many paper millionaires" from real
izing on their holdings. Incidentally,
many were wiped out in the slump
which followed the signing of the Yer
sailles peace treaty. "a
"The key case" selected by the
court for decision, was the appeal
brought by the Merchants Loan and
Trust Company as trustee Of the
estate of Arthur Ryerson, of Chicago,
from decisions of Illinois courts up
holding assessments levied by inter
nal revenue officials upon profits real
lied through the sale of certain trust
assets Included in the trust fund
were $500 shares of stock in Joseph
T. Byerson & Son, a corporation,
which were valued at $561,000 on
March /, 1913, but which were sold
in 1917 for $1,2SOOOO. Collection of
tax on the difference in value be-
tween March, 1913, and the date Of
sale, as income, was upheld by the
court in the decision rendered.
The word income" was defined by
the Supreme Court in case under
the Corporation Excise Tax Act Of
1909, Justice Clark said. as "a gain
derived from capital, from labor or
from both combined"

be fastened II he were brought back
to the city and the surroundings he
aoved so well, arrangements were
made for the trip. This was made by
automobile early in January and no Ill
effects resulted.
His physicians had stated that alb.
solute rest and quiet were essential,
and this advice was strictly followed.
Very few persons were allowed to see
him, and in short time he showed
pronounced signs of improvement.
After he had recovered his strength
sufficiently to permit of the exertion
of being moved, he was taken for
automobile rides when the weather
was fine. The route generally led
through the outlying districts and
some Of the parks, and sometimes
brief visits were paid to different
Catholic institutions.
The last Of these trips was made
on Palm Sunday. The sudden change
OF weather, which brought such un.
seasonable high temperatures. had a
depressing effect upon him. His
fainting spells returned, and when he
was put to bed it was realized by
those closest TO him he would prob,
ably never again rise.
Record Almost Unique.
Cardinal Gibbons career establishes
an almost unique record in its re-
markable traits. He was a member
of the priesthood for SO years. a bish-
op for 81 year:, an archbishop for 4S
years and for "a years a Cardinal.
Few figures that have ever been
seen in an American church so APPLY
and picturesquely suggested the &C.
clesiastical dignitaries Of medieval
times as Cardinal Gibbons while adj
ministering holy rites.
The full beauty of the traditions OF
the church, its wealth of spiritual
suggestion was embodied in him as
he presided at the mass o. other I'M
posing ceremony. This wa felt in
the dignity of his bearing, the qsietude
and simplicity of his mannet, COM
bined with an indefnable sense 6 re-
ligious exaitation and elevation.
Yet, withal, there was never man
who was less Influenced by the pre-
negatives and the privileges for os-
tentatious or pompous display granted
by high Office. He was always pre-
vailingly human, tenderly SO when
ever the occasion arose, and his
affability, his ready sense of humor'
his easiness of approach, made him a
favcrite with men Of all denomina-
tons.

Hnal stage of his illness develop that
he slipped into the Great Silence al,
most imperceptibly.
Up until last autumn, the Cardinal
seemed to defy all the physical rules
pertaining to a man who had almost
reached the 90-year mark. His ener

conducted the serenuous duties of the
diocese, and attended to the myriad
details pertaining to his high office,

BURIED UNDER CATHEDRAL
ALTAR.

His grave will be niche in the
crypt under the high altar of the
Cathedral. A slab of marble carved
with an inscription in Latin in the
north wall of the crypt will mark the
resting place of all that is earthly OF
one of the greatest American church
men of all time. Above this vault,
dark as night in the daytime, behind
whose south, wall lie the six Arch
bishops of Maryland who preceded
him, is the sanctuary of the Cathe'
dral to which Cardinal Gibbons par
ents brought him as baby to be
baptized, where he was consecrated
Bishop, where he was later conse-
Grated an Archbishop, and where on
June 80, 1885, he was invested with
the robes of the Cardinalate.
There, too, stands the throne OF the
Cardinal, and above the throne, above
the white-walled niche in the crypt
beneath, will hang the Cardinals hat,
symbol of princedom in the Catholic
hierarchy, to which man attains by
goodness and good works. There it
will hang so long as the Cathedral
stands.

dealing in dollar marks. as its name

Susan Grande is seen in the stellar

leading man. The photoplay is di-
rected by Ernest Forest and is pre-
sented by Fred w. Falkner.
While Miss Grande is not

may appear in Wilmington hereaf-

part in this production is all that
could be desired. The play abounds
in good humor and laughable situa-
