corporations. partnerships and individu-
ais engaged in business means net
profits after liberal deductions for ex-
penses of operation. maintenance, re-
placement, obsolescence, &C. Income as
defined for wage and salary earners

bers loaded in a hallway at 427 West

bullet fired by one of three men who
were said to have had a quarrel in that
vicinity. They are trying to find these
men. Tierney was shot through the
heart.
