LONDON. May 16-The interven-
ton Of the Whitsun holiday brought
a slight easing of the tension in the

upon with reference to the meeting
of the supreme council. which prob
badly will not be held before next
week, as the debate in the French
chamber of deputies is expected to

The view held in London is that
the delay vii serve a useful pur-
pose in allaying passion on both
sides and providing a more favor

when the council meets. Moreover,

mier. NJ. BRAND, was not averse to
seizing the opportunity afforded by
Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech to as

Supreme Court FavOrs Gov.
ernment in interpretations
of Revenue Acts.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, May 16--Through
decisions of the supreme court Mon
day the government won two i'm
portant victories in controversies in
volving Interpretation Of income
provisions Of the income acts of 1916
and 1917.
Increased value Of a capital asset
could not be added to invested cap
ital," the court ruled in the appeal
of the La Belle Iron works. an Ohio
concern. from a ruling by treasury
officials, but on the contrary must
be considered in computing the
profits of the corporation on which
the taxes were to be assessed.
In the other decision, the court
ruled that inheritance or succession
taxes paid to a state could not be
deducted from the met estate" taxed
under the revenue act.
Important Question.
The La Belle Iron works suit was
haracterized by high government
officials as "the most important
legal question affecting federal fl
nances to arise in several decades" "
The specific point at issue was
whether ore lands in the Mesabi
range Of Minnesota. purchased for
Is19O. 600 prior to 1904. could be re-
turned by the iron company at q
new valuation of S1O,OOOO00 in
1907, the increase being covered by
a stock issue and carried under in
vested capital.

ported to be proceeding toward

AS Charles advances into Hun
gary the situation grows tense. Rail
and wire lines have been cut at the
Hungarian frontier. 1t is rumored
that the CZechs are mobiliZlng.
The Austrian government has an
nounced that all precautions have
been taken and that thu guards,
including the reserves. have been
called out.

the superintendent Of the state
penitentiary was not served with
the notice. Mr. Rosenberg, with
the consent Of Solicitor Callison,
waived the appearance OF the pris-
oner. It Is probable that 100 Gu
rious persons were in front OF the
state capital TO get a glimpse Of
Fox when he was brought from
the state rpison.
1t is possible that the execution
of the three men will be indefi-
nitely delayed, unless there is some
legislation &c relieve the present
method of appeal. 1t develops
that under an opinion Of the state
supreme court, delivered some
years ago, if the three men are
taken 10 Lexington for resentence,
after their fate is decided, they
can appeal for a new trial before
the sentencing judge, which, Of
course. would be refuse Then
an appeal can be taken to the ap-
pellate court. And this procedure
can be indefinitely extended.

Funbles Lack of
Kicker Evident

Greenville, Oct. 21.-Battling
desperately with it's reputation at
stake the Clemson Tigers staged
great comeback by holding the
Purple Hurricane" to a scoreless
tie. -7urnan was counted on to
win but never did the Tigers give
a greater exhibition Of gameness
than on Manly Field before 5000
spectators this afternoon.
Fumbles cost Furman the game.
Both teams relied on straight line
play for the mosr part. Forward
passes were tried often but the
Baptists completed but one for II
yards while Clemson worked one
for Is yards and had one inter-
cepted.
Furman was struggling il the
Tigers territory for about all Of the
first half. In the third quarter
honors were about even. Clemson
staged a great rally in the final PEE
riod and threatened several times
because Of fumbles by Furman.
Never was the lack Of kicker
more seriously felt by both teams.
A good drop kicker on neither team
would have changed the result as
two or three opportunities were
offered from the Is and 20 yard
lines. Not a try at a field goal was
attempted

Murder in
Horny County

Conway, Oct. PA double muir
der was committed in the Burgess
section of Horny county early last
night. a negro, Josh Brown, shot
and killed his wife and his moth
erin law, Liza Gore, after shooting
twice at Mr.. Van Turbeville. He
escaped before the alarm was CIV
en- and has not yet been caught.
Scores of men. white and black,
We're today securing the lower sec
tions Of Horny and Georgetown
counties.
1t seems that day before yes
terday John Brown had some dis
agreement with Mr.. Turbeville on
whose place. Woodstock, he had a
small crop this year. Yesterday he
was at work as usual and Mr.. Tur-
beville was also at work in the
same field with him. He left the
field a few minutes before Mr.
Turbeville late in the afternoon.
Mr.. Turbeville thought nothing
strange of this. Later on Mr..
Turbeville started home and ha!
ing to open a gate he got down
from his wagon and as he got down
the negro shot him twice in the
shoulder, inflicting very severe
wound. His condition is serious
today.
After shooting Mr. Turbeville
who managed to shoot twice with
a rifle which he had in the wagon,
John Brown went back to his home
and calling his wife to the door
shot her dead as she opened the
door. A small child in the yard
ran to give the alarm. In the
meantime, it is presumed that Liza
Gore. whose daughter was the
wife of Brown, closed the door but
when neighbors reached the scene
they found the door broken down
and both Liza Gore and her daugh-
ter dead. The authorities were no
titled and are making a dlligent
effort to apprehend Brown.

War in Hungary

Vienna. Oct. % (By the Associat-
ed Press) ).-Txe exact situation in
Hungary is now beyond the knowl-
edge of the Austrian foreign office
which today lost communication
with Budapest. There have been
all kinds Of rumors. including one
reporting the entry Of Charles. the
former king. into Budapest and the
detection Of some Of the govern
ment forces to Charles banner as
we'll as the repulse of the monar-
chist forces and other conflicting
information. Put it is known be-
yond a doubt t lat there has been
brisk and possibly sanguinary
fighting close to Budapest.
a telephone message from Pra-
que said that Charles had succeed
ed in reaching Budapest while the
Vienna Freie Press announced that
the Italian legation has received
news from Budapest that some Of
the troops in that capital have
broken in favor Of Charles.
Early reports agreed that the
Karl;sts had been checked at Bud
aor, which is about II miles from
Budapae. one Of the dispatches
saying 1t train bearing Charles
had reached that place but was
forced to back out hurriedly upon
a show of resistance by govern
ment troops.
Odenburg and notwithstanding
troops, it is declared, are hasten
ing to reinforce the former llirg
and the fact that bioodshed has
begun is believed by thu*e who
know the Hungarian character to
foreshadow final grapnIe between
the reactionary and the republican
forces that probably will extend
beyond the borders.
Though possibly checked the
monarchists are evidently concrn-
trating for furth;r attacks. for lat
est. though meagre. advices say
that the battle between the
monarchists and government troops
continues, and also that the be-
havior Of the government forces
is irreproachable. Government
circles hope to be able to hold out
until the arrival Of reinforcements
from the provinces which :re ex-
pected tomorrow afternoon
Insurgent bands from BurSen-
land are reported to be marching
