 COURT
CBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 28. Three victories were won by the government today in the supreme court interpretation of the term fin come" for assessments of taxes.
 Under the income and excess profits act, the court held that any gain, derived from corporation se- curities or corporate assets and any increase in value of capital invest ment, when realized, is taxable as income. The opinion was indorsed by the entire court. Solicitor Gen eral Frierson interpreted the opin- ion as upholding all the contentious of. the government He believed the elimination of problems involved in the cases decided would go far to- ward relieving the treasury depart ment of inconvenience resulting from multi-angled tax litigation which has been facing 1t for the last year.
 No estimate could be obtained as to the amount affected by the courts action. Apparently with the view ot an early clearing of the docket ot all important tax questions, the court before recessing until April II, ad vanced to that date hearing of argu- ments in the insurance dividend case, the corporation reorganization case, the inheritance tax case. The first involvestz the taxation of dividends applied as partial payment to insur- ance premiums; the second applies to stock received from the reorgan- ization of corporation-in this case the Dupont Powder company-and the last, whether the inheritance tax cannot be deducted from taxable in come.
 "The key case" selected for de cision today, was an appeal brought by the Merchants Loan & Trust company, as trustee of the estate of Arthur Reyerson of Chicago from decisions of Illinois courts up holding the assessments levied by the internal revenue officials or profits realized through the sales oi certain trust assets. The word ''in come" defined by the court in the case under the corporation excise tax act of 1909, Justice Clark said, is Gain derived from capital, from labor, or from both."

JURY STILL OUT
 IN DAMAGE SUIT

With the arguments of attorneys for both sides closed, And its in- structions received the jury in the suit for $20000 filed by the estate of Ralph w. Griffith against the Arizona Power company for dam ages ill an accident in which Grif- filth lost his life. late last night re- tired. Up to a late hour, the jury had not come in. Attorneys for both the plaintiff and the defendant company express themselves as con fident of verdict in their favor.
 The case has aroused considerable interest. Filed in behalf of Mrs. Mildred Griffith. widow of the man who met his death on August 30, 1918, when he came into contact with a live wire while engaged on line work at the Poland substation of the Arizona Power company, the suit is being bitterly fought by the company, whose attorneys deny the allegation of negligence in the cir cumstances giving rise to the acci- dent, and seek to prove that Grif fifth met his death through disre- garding instructions and notices, ob-
 servance of which they state, would have prevented the accident
 The defense yesterday sought to establish that the death of Griffith occurred through his not cutting a certain wire before climbing a pole to perform some line work
 Attorneys for the plaintiff contend that the pole climbed by Griffith was not the pole he had been in structed not to climb, and through this alleged circumstance, that if he failed to cut down the grounded wire he had been instructed to cut before climbing the pole the defense sought to establish he climbed, his failure was not responsible for the fatal accident. Testimony was in troduced by the plaintiff seeking to establish that witness of good hear ing present at the time it is alleged Griffith was instructed not to climb the pole failed to hear such instruc tions, and that therefore, if they were given at all, Griffith himself prODaDly lalIeQ 10 near tHeIH.
 The entire case last night revolved about the question of the defendant company's responsibility under the Arizona employers liability law for the accident. The verdict will prob ably become known today.
 Attorneys for the plaintiff were Howard Cornick and Favour & Baker, Lamson and Jones and George Purdy Bullard, representing the defendant company. The jury was as follows:
 w. R. Merrill, V. H. Bundy, Will liam Crocker, William Hoffman, w, R. Hancock, Archie T. Sutton, Jacob Schleisman. Howard D. Owens, J. c. Van Deren, J. H. Reeves and Thomas w. King.

 TO TRIAL IN
 COURT TODAY

Postponed from yesterday, a dam age suit involving $40,C00 will come to trial in the superior court this morning, when the case of James c. Gates, a fireman for the Santa Fe, versus the Atchison, eTopeka X Santa Fe railroad, comes up for hearing.
 Gates has brought suit against the railroad for injuries alleged to have been received when he leaped from the cab of a passenger engine speed ing head-on toward a freight train below Kirkland.

Knowing a collision was inevitable, Gates leaped from the cab of the engine and in so doing sustained injuries which he claims will totally and permanently incap- acitate him. His back was broken, crushed and bruised, and he sustain ed many other cuts, bruises and in juries, his counsel states.
 This case, with F. C. Struckmeyer, R. B.

LAST INNING
 VICTORY FOR
 PRESCOTT. s -5

The crack baseball nine of the Santa Fe shops ran the Wickenburg engine into the roundhouse for re- pairs with a sudden last-inning spurt, when they met the Wickenburg nine in a close contest at the old ball park ground Sunday afternoon.
 The first eight innings gave Wick enburg all the gravy. A continuous succession of runs marked the first three innings of play for the visiting team, who scored one in the first, another in the second and closed the third with an additional three. The Prescott team chalked up nothing but zeros for these opening innings.
 In the fourth, however, the Rail roaders rallied, and though they fail ed to score a run, they made the Wickenburg enthusiasts swallow the five big round naughts chalked up against their name.
 The ninth opened with a last minute rally for the home team. Westfall, who had been flaming the Railroaders steadily since he entered the box for Wickenburg in the seventh, got nervous He walked two men when Prescott came to bat III the ninth. Cook, Prescott short stop, slammed it out for a two bagger. Westfall went to pieces. Another two-sack hit, a list ot Wickenburg errors, and the game ended with the score to in the local nine's favor.
 Admirable records were made by Cook and Diskin, of the Railroad CTS. Cook, besides breaking the score open for Prescott's entrance, held down shortstop without an CT TOT for the whole nine innings. Dis kin, entering the box in the fifth, shut the Wickenburg batters our without a run.
 The Railroaders will meet the Winslow team next Sunday, and are going into practice this week in order to work up an appetite that will make a meal of the lads from the north.
