he shouted his hope that every baby
in New York would have enough milk
this year and in all the years to come.
The crowd was touched by the SIM

cheering loudly, promised him four
more years as their protector as his
reward. Thereupon the Mayor ac-
companied Health Commissioner Cope

Supreme Court
Says Income Measure Is Ex-

Than OF, Certain Profits
Labor Cases Held Over
Dismisses Appeal From Find
ing of Lower Court i'm
American Can Co. Case

WASHINGTON, June 6--Thc Su-
preme Court brought it's regular term
to close to-day, adjourning until Oc-
tober g. Most of the justices plan to
leave at once for their summer vaca-
tions.
Dismissal of the governments ap-
peal, on motion of Solicitor General
holding that the American Can Com
pany did not constitute q monopoly
under the Sherman antitrust law and
q decision against the government in
the estate tax case marked the final
days session.
The Solicitor General filed with the
court only a few minutes before it
closed motion TO dismiss the appeal
la the American Can case. Later he
explained that the action had been
taken because of the evident meaning
OF the courts decision in similar
case against the United States Steel
Corporation when it held that an "un-
nc roasonabe" restraint must be proved
before the law could be invoked.
Executors of the estate of the late
Alan H. Woodward, of Alabama, were
upheld by the court in their contention
! that the estate tax assessed under the
act Of 1915 was an ALLOWABLE deduc-
ton" in computing the net income Of
the estate for the purpose of the in
come tax. A decree of the court of
claims holding that the Internal Reve-
nue. authorities had erred in refusing
to allow such deduction was affirmed.
Paid s490,000 Taxes
The Woodward estate paid tax of
S490000 on transfer and was assessed
$165,000 as income tax on the amount
so paid out. The income tax law, the
court held, was explicit in allowing de-
ductions Of taxes paid or accrued
within the taxable year imposed by the
authority of the United States except
income. war profits and excess profits
taxes Since the estate tax was Fed
eral tax and was not included in the
exceptions the court held that it was
deductable.
Most of the cases of general interest
remaining undecided to-day were or
dered restored to the docket for re-
argument before full bench" These
include the Wyoming-Colorado suit over
control Of waters of the Colorado
River, the United States Shoe Ma
chinery case, involving alleged viola
ton of the Clayton act in lease-con-
tracts, and the child labor case nvolv-
ing the validity of special taxes or
products of the labor of minors.
cases not to be reargued include
that Of the Coronado Coal Company
against the United Mine Workers of
America to determine liability of a
national labor organization for dam
ages resulting from strike and the
suit brought by the government to
restrain the American Hardwood Man
facturers Association from continuing
the "open competition" practice of ex-
changing price and sale data among
its members.
