Shippers Oppose Proposed
 Increase in Railroad Rates.

Hartford March 2s.-New England shippers will carry their fight against the proposed 10 per cent. freight and pas senger rate increase on the railroads of New England to the interstate commerce commission. declared William H. Chand- Ter of Boston. president of the New Eng land Traffic League, at a public hearing on the rates question here today. The hearing was called by Governor Lake on behalf of the Connecticut committee which was named to consider the rail- road proposals. The house chamber in the state capitol was well, filled with shippers. railroad officials and others.
 Mir. Chandler charged that the execu- lives of the New England railroads broke faith. with the shippers when they took their troubles to the governors of the New England states" He declared the rail- road executives had promised to confer with traffic league officers and other ship pers. but have not done so.
 The case of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad was presented by President E. J. Pearson, and Vice Presi- dents E. G. Buckland and Benjamin Campbell President Pearson said the 10 per cent increase sought by the New Haven road would be in effect only for one year. after which 1t was expected the railroad situation win have Improved. The public is getting transportation at less than cost on the New Haven road. Fsaid President Pearson. He declared that the New Haven roads position Is different from the western roads. which 1 have long haul business. The New Ha- ven has to depend on Its own territory for practically all its business, he said Vice President Buckland denied that fthe New Haven road fnstigated the pres lent rate increase proposal. He said that
 
 led to the owners by tho federal railroad administration in as good condition as when it was taken over. the, New Haven would be able to pay eight or nine peI cent. dividends now.
 "The value of the New Haven road i! fconsiderably in excess of what Is car ried on our books" said Mir Buckland "The New Haven-owned property valua ton is s9T.O0O.OOO and the New Havel Transportation system valuation is $50, f000,000."

 OF STAFF OF THE ARMY

washington, March, 2s.-Secretary Weeks indicated today that new chief Of stan of the army to succeed Major General Peyton C. March. would be se- lected before the special session of con- gress convenes April II. He refused to discuss the matter beyond saying that "the name of the new chief of staff will probably be annsunced before congress meets"
 Compilation of the list of nominations for general officers Is expected t, he completed this week by the secretary Tho list, 1t is understood, will be almost a duplicate of that sent to congress by Former Secretary Baker. which failed of confirmation. One important exception, however. may be the inclusion of the name of Brigadier General Clarence R. Edwards former commander of the 18th (New England) National Guard Division overseas, to head the list of major gem erals. His name did not appear in the Baker nominations.

Two Deaths Caused
 by Gale in New York
Roofs Were Torn Of and Trees Uprooted by an sO- Mile Gale.

New York. March 2S.--An eighty-mile gale sweeping down on New York late this afternoon tore off roofs. uprooted trees, caused accidents which have result ed in at least two deaths, and brought a touch of real winter. The wind was ac- companied by drop in temperature from 7S at 2 p. m to 37 degrees at 10 o'clock, with indications of a further drop by morning. The storm was accompanied by rain, which later in the evening turn ed to sleet and hail.
 The weather bureau declared the gale to be mostly local in character, caused by the heat of yesterday and this morn ing, but part of general storm in the east While not officially recognized as a hurricane, persons in the sections to the north of the city declared they saw a small funnel-shaped cloud moving away from sQuaE..
 The deaths reported were those of a Brooklyn child playing in frame struc- ture once used as motion picture house and an unidentified woman struck by an automobile. The picture house collapsed when what spectators described as a
 'whirling cloud struck 1t and reduced | it to a pile of debris. Bremen worked three hours before the child's body was found.
 The woman was found pinned under the rear axle of heavy automobile and police believe she walked into it while Temporarily blinded by the storm Sht was instantly killed.
 Brooklyn was struck hardest by tn, wind, and it was there the greater par | of the damage was done.
 A number of minor accidents from fly
 ing objects were reported. and .seyera l persons were struck by automobiles un
 seen in the flying dust and rain.

pable that 1t was a gain or prodt,. 'pro- duced by or derived from that invest ment and thereby became the realized gain which has been repeatedly declarea to be taxable income within the meaning of the constitutional amendment and the acts of congress-
 The opinion quickly dismissed e col- tention that the word income ss used in the 16th amendment did :iot include the gain realized by a single transactio1 but only profits realized by one engaee1 in buying and selling as business.
 -'It is sufficient to say of this conten. tion," the court ruled. that no such 6lf- tinction was recognized in the Civil var income tax acts or in the income tax act of 1884. The interesting and ingenious argument which Is pressed upon uh. fails to convince ussthat a construction shonk
 be adopted which would in a large meas- ure defeat the purpose of the amendment

 was derived from the sale of personal
 property. and. very certainly. the com pfehensive last clause Gin Section 1):

 source whatever must also include n. h

 the courts decision in the appeal brpughf
 by David Nj. Goodrich of New York. In-

 Mr. Goodrich showed an actual Joss from
 the price he had paid for the securities. The ruling of the-tax assessors that the value as of March l. lsl5. which vas be. low the cost price Tn 1912 and the subse- quent sale price in 1s1s. only would be
 considered. was reversed by the supreme
 court. F .'The act under which the tax was as-
 sessed provides that the net income of
 the individual shall Include gains and profts. ." the opinion said. Thus h is very plain that this statute imposes the income tax on proceeds of personal prop. I erty to the extent only that gains are de- rived therefrom and since no gain was derived on this transaction. no tax could be assessed against the vendof.-
 In the third case settled today--Walsh. ? Collectors. versus .Brewster-the same : points were considered. Decision of Con. necticut courts that the government could : not collect tax on an increase in ths
 value of securities purchased and helt for investment was reversed. ,fne suprern' = court again making the point that fh' tax could only be co1iected where thu 3 proceeds Showed a DrOnt over the pur chase price.
