SAVINGS BANK TAX
LEVIED BY DISTRICT
UPHELD BY COURT
Justice Smyth Hands Down
important Decision in Ap-
/ peaIed Test Case.
A. PER CENT ON GROSS
EARNINGS HELD LEGAL
Security Savings and, Commercial
Bank Brought Suit-Sub-
stance of Ruling.-

The tax levied by the District OF
Columbia Of 4 per cent on the gross
earnings OF savings banks. less the
amount paid to depositors as interest,
IS declared valid by a decision of the
District Court of Appeals rendered to-
DAY by Chief Justice Smyth. The de-
cision was announced in a test case
brought by the Security Savings and
Commercial Bank, which paid the tax
under protest and brought suit to re-
cover from the District. Judgment
was rendered in favor of the District
by the lower court and the bank ap-
pealed.
Claims Made by Bank.
The bank contended that it's earn
ings included s16.517.33 interest de-
rived from liberty bonds, victory
honds, war savings stamps ana GER
tlficates of Indebtedness of the United
States. which under the law providing
Tor their issuance are exempt from
taxation.
The bank claimed that the tax
of the act of July 1. 1862, as
amended by act of April 2S, 1904, is
property tax and therefore invalid
If that were true the tax would be
void, the court admits, but it points
out that the contention of the Dis
trfct that the tax is franchise or
excise tax, levied in the right of the
corporation to do business in the Dis
trict of Columbia is sustained by
fair Interpretation of a number of
decisions Of the United States Su-
preme Court.
Cases Considered Unlike.
The bank had also claimed that the
Court of Appeals had decided in
favor of it's view of the laws inter-
probation in the case Of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany against the District in SO Ap-
peals sos. The court, however. differ
entiates the two cases and declares
the decision in the telephone case
was placed on another ground and
does not conflict with the present
ruling.

WIFE LEAVING HUSBAND
LOSES PROPERTY RIGHT
Court Of Appeals Holds She Has
No Claim to Joint
Interest.

When a man and wife own a parcel
of real estate, purchased as joint
tenants for use as home, and the
wife abandons her husband and he
secures an absolute divorce, the wife
cannot maintain a suit to recover
the value of her interest in the real
estate. This principle is sustained by
the District Court of Appeals in an
opinion rendered today by Justice
Robb.
In affirming a similar decision Of the
District Supreme Court in the case Of
Ida F. Moore against Elmer E. Moore,
Justice Robb says: "This property
was purchased as a home for these
nartfes. and was 80 used until The
wife abandoned her husband and went
to live with another man. After thus
bringing disgrace upon herself and
to her husband she seeks
the aid of a court of equity to drive
the husband from his wrecked home
or compel him to pay her half its
vale. Had she remained true to her
marriage vows she could not have
such petition. The real
basis of her contention, therefore, is
her infidelity, resulting in the decree
of divorce"
BY her actions, the court concludes,
the wife violated the implied condi-
tions Of the deed making her joint
tenant and disentitled herself to any
further interest in the property.

TO DECIDE
Within TWO DAYS
Smash-Up or Patch-Up Of
Lloyd George Regime
Still in Doubt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March Cit was au.
thoritatively reported in pariia-
mentary lobbies this Afternoon,
says the London Press Association,
that the political crisis has been
terminated BY the decision of
Prime Minister Lloyd George to
continue in Office I'm Difference to
the urgent appeal Of his unfOnist
colleagues. The question of
guarantees of loyalty from the
rank and file of the unionists has
been temporarily waived, says the
report.
LONDON, March 6-Within twenty
four or at most forty-eight hours
the world will know definitely
whether Prime Minister Lloyd George
has decided to resign or continue as
chief Of the coalition government.
This is the only substantial convic-
tion emerging from a tangle Of con-
Trajectory rumors in the crisis which
engrossed political observers over
Saturday and Sunday.
Experts today were diametrically
opposed in their opinion as to how
the crisis stood as a result of week
end conferences, some declaring that
the outlook for a continuance Of the
coalition was improved and encour-
aged belief that the prime minister
all signs pointed to his retirement
and that liberal colleagues in his
ministry would go with him. Some
were content to refrain from COM
mitting themselves to any opinion
whether the result would be smash
up or a patch-up. Even If the prime
minister stays, nobody believes that
though it may be prolonged until the
Irish legislation and Genoa confer
ence are out of the way. 1t is gen.
orally credited in certain quarters
that nothing will be definitely an
nounced until the speech of Sir Ar
thur Balfour Tuesday. 1t is declared
that the pre-eminent interest in Sir
Arthur's utterances will be a positive
declaration as to the prime ministers 8
decision.
If this expression is for resignation
Of Mr.. Lloyd George, Sir Arthur will
not in any event assume the premier
ship, according to repeated state
ments made today. but will be will
ing to take Office under Austen Cham
berlain as prime minister. (Mr.
Chamberlain is government leader in
the house of commons.)
The day was virtually barren OF
new developments in the situation.
Mr.. Lloyd George remained in bed
during the day with touch of his
old complaint, bronchial catarrh,
which prevented him from attending
the cabinet council, over which Mr..
Chamberlain presided.
The prime minister. it was stated,
intends to go to Criccieth with his
family Tuesday or Wednesday for
his holiday, and will be away from
the political arena for at least a
week and probably fortnight.

John H. Bartlett, president Of the
Civil Service Commission, was most
prominently mentioned today as pos
sible new first assistant postmaster
general. to take the place left vacant
by the appointment of DR.. Hubert
Work as Postmaster General of the
United States, succeeding Will H.
Hays.
1t is known that the administra-
ton looks upon President Bartlett,
head of the Civil Service Commission
since last July. as perhaps the best
fitted man in Washington to take up
the duties left vacant in the Office
Of the first assistant postmaster gen.
eral by the promotion Of DR.. Work.
Former New Hampshire Governor.
Mr.. Bartlett, former Governor of
New Hampshire, was postmaster OF
Portsmouth, N. H., for eight years,
having served under the administra-
Roosevelt. This work as postmaster.
it is held, ideally fitted Mr.. Bartlett
to become first assistant postmaster
general of the United States.
The position of first lieutenant Of
the Postmaster General carries with
it the handling Of all the personnel
of the postal service. The first as
sistant postmaster general also has
charge of all postmaster appoint
ments throughout the country, as
we'll as general oversight of the vast
network of city carriers Of the land.
During his term as head of the
Civil Service Commission Mr.. Bart
lett has shown great interest in the
work devolving upon the commission
in relation to postmaster appoint
ments. and has steadily pushed this
important work forward.
Sketch OF His Career.
Former Gov. Bartlett has had an
Interesting career. Following his
graduation from Dartmouth College,
he was made principal of the Ports
mouth High School and held this po-
sition for three years, when he was
made postmaster of the city. He re-
fused a third term and began the
practice of law, and then became in
terested in various business projects.
This winter he sold his interest in
a chain of thirty motion picture thea
ters in New England and put a por-
ton of the money into the purchase
of the Interstate building, on F street,
here. in order to thoroughly identify
himself with Washington.
Mr. Bartlett holds decided views as
to the. civil service and has been
working away steadily to put into eff
feet broader examinations for the
service, hoping to make character and
personality play as large part in
admission to Uncle Sans service as
scholarship does at present.
Refuses to Comment ON Rumor.
Postmaster General Work, busy to-
day answering the hundreds of let
ters and kilograms of congratulations
which have poured in upon him from
friends throughout the country, would
make no statement as to filing the
Office of first assistant, or that of Sec
ond assistant, the latter left vacant
through the death of Col. E. H.
Shaughnessy, a victim of the Knick-
erbocker Theater disaster.
When asked regarding the Wash
ington city postmastership, Postmas-
ter General Work would make no
comment, aside from smile, and the
remark: TT is being filled very well
at present"
It is believed that City Postmaster
Merritt o. Chance will serve out the
two remaining years Of his term of
office. =
