SCENE OF FIRE
Greatest Fire That Has Visit
ed Toxic in a Decade, En-
tire City Threatened.

Toxic, March 27.-The whole city
of Toxic was imperiled last night py
the greatest fire with which it has
been visited in a decade. The conflag-
ration destroyed a thousand houses
in the Yotsuya district, in the north
western part of the city, involving
loss estimated at 25,000,OOO yen
(normally about $12,500,000). Thou
sands of persons were made home
less, and 1873 persons were injured.
The burned buildings included three
hospitals, a bank and several large
business houses.
For four hours during the night a
violent, biting wind drove the flames
in the direction of the heart OF the
city. causing panic among the pop
ulation over a wide area. Four tnou-
sand troops aided the firemen in com
hating the blaze, but it was only
when the force of the wind let down
notably that their efforts to control
the fire were rewarded with success.
Scenes of terror were witnessed
in many sections as the course OF the
flames threatened widespread de-
struction. The streets were chokeo
with masses of despairing refugees
and from the districts already strick-
en- accompanied by carts loaded
with furniture, the confusion being
added to by the flocking in OF sight

the half dozen fugitives fleeing from
the flames bore infants strapped to
their backs. Mounted police had
great diffculty in restraining incip-
ent panics.

STANDS B Y POSITION

Washington, March 28-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, has denounced
as "unpatriotic Americans" those
labor leaders who have severely
criticised his refusal to endorse the
Russian Soviet government or to
urge it's recognition by the United
States.
Flat refusal to recede in the slight
est from his position was expressed
by Mr.. Gompers in a $500 word let
ter to the Central Trades Unions of
Kalamazoo, Mich, Phoenix, Ariz.,
Laramie, Wyoming, and other sim
liar labor organizations which had
adopted resolutions condemning the
present administration of the Fed
Grafton because of it's Russian stand,
as subservient to capital and against
the best interests of the workers.
The action of these bodies, the let
ter said, apparently was based on
conclusions drawn from cutter, mis-
information" of the true situation
in Russia.

by the Kalamazoo Trades and La

today held.
The court ruled that the transact

In one case the court was asked by

conversion of capital investments in
to cash.
Thousands of individuals who had
invested in securities prior to the
World War and who, on the general
advance in market prices in that per-
iod, had sold their holdings at great
profit, were naturally interested in
the outcome. 1t was common knowl-
edge that the fear of being compell-
ed to turn over the bulk of their
profit to government in the form OF
taxes prevented many paper million

In both cases counsel argued that

The government took the stand
that income" must be interpreted
as representing any gain accruing
to the taxpayer within the period un-

was told, income was considered by
the government branches to include
