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 indorsed
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
ernment. 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 Jhe 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 Ver
sailles peace treaty.

court for decision, was the appeal

PREACHER, FORMER DEVIL
DOG, FEELS HieHWAyMAN {
WITH REVOLVER.

Pittsburgh.-Facing a revolver
pointing at his breast, the Rev.
Raymond H. Gordon, pastor OF a
local Presbyterian church, ignored
the command Of two highwaymen
on a lonely road to hold up his
hands. Instead he shot a stiff
right hook to the jaw of the re-
volver holder, dropping the latter
in his tracks. Then he walked
on, unmolested by the second
highwayman.
The Rev. Mr.. Gordon was at

Marine Corps, and a. a private in

DEATH TRAPS ON ROAD SIDES
Highway Authority Condemns Present
Type Of Construction-Not Suf-
ficfently Wide.

The present type of highways is
equipped with death traps on each
side, says George C. Diehl, chairman
of the good roads board of the Amer
ican Automobile association, In an
article in Motor. He condemns the
present ditch system of drainage and
advocates a system Of underground
drain pipes, making ditchless roads Of
our highways.
'"The highways Of the future" says
Mr.. Diehl, must have roadways Of
sufficient width not merely for safety,
but for the comfortable confidence Of
the driver. A car owner may come
through alive at the end Of days
run on a popular thoroughfare, but
the condition of his nerves after he
has balanced himself so times an hour
between a yawning ditch at his right
and whizzing cars at his left, is some
thing that need not be described to
the average driver, because he has
been there.
Fear of an open ditch breeds over
caution that drives men to the other
extreme and brings about collisions.
On fairly wide roadways with deep
bitches drivers are reluctant to use
only one-half of the roadway. since
a momentary slip means disaster. Al
lowance for a two or three-foot mar
gin Of safety by drivers between their
cars and the ditch reduces the effec-
tive width four or five feet. Safety
and comfort demand the discontinu-
ance Of deep bitches.
ION a pleasant Sunday afternoon In
the touring season, probably most OF
these people are on the road. Every
effort should be made to care for their
safety. The roads ought to be made
as safe as human ingenuity can make
them. instead Of being fitted with
death traps on each side," he con-
cludes.

But, without knowledge either On
his part or on the part of those
closest to him, he was overtaxing his
strength. The preliminary collapse
came suddenly and almost without
warning while he was presiding at 2
service at st. Patrick's Church, Havre
de Grace, on November last. It was
thought at the time that he had mere.
ly suffered a slight sinking spell and
this opinion was, to all intents and
purposes, verified by his quick return
to what looked to be his normal state.
He continued his archiepiscopal
duties, and It was not until he went
to Union Mills short time afterward
that he was stricken with the attack
from which he never fully recovered.
He was again taking part in a
church service when he became Ill
the second time. AS it was seen he
was not in f1t condition to travel he
was taken to the home of his devoted
and lifelong friends, Miss Molly
Shriver and Robert T. Shriver. He
was at once put to bed, and the
Shriver family physician, DR.. George
L. Wetzel was called. Later the Car.
dinal's physician, DR.. Charles O'Dono-
van, Of this city, took charge of the
case, and DR.. Lewellys F. Barker was
also sought for consultation.
Weeks At Shriver Home.
For weeks the Cardinal remained
at the Shriver residence, his condition
fuotnating. One of his friends who
called upon him during that period
described his appearance as that of
person who had become transfig
ured into spiritual, purely ethereal
being. He kept in good spirits through
out aud laughingly remarked to Wis.
3tor that "he was good for some time
yet"
On New Years Eve it was an.
nounced by Bishop Corrigan that he
had had severe sinking spell, and
that the last rites Of the church had
been administered. This announce.
ment was accompanied by the request
for prayers for his happy death or
speedy recovery.
This crisis passed, the Cardinal
again showed remarkable recupera-
1ive power. He was always happy
when ct the Shriver residence, but he
was devoted to his Baltimore home,
che simple, dignified house on Charles
street at Mulberry street, and felt a
strong desire to return. Thinking
chat, perhaps, his convalescence would
