A Western ranchman called
his children together and an
nounced that he proposed to
distribute among them. a small
herd of cows.
Nov. John" he said to the
eldest. you may take as many
COWS as you think you can con-
vicinity care for. and your wife
Nancy may take one-ninth Of
what are left" To the second
son he said; Sam, you may
take one more than John took
and TO your good wife Sally
Will also give none-ninth of
what remain"
In like manner he dealt with
the next son, giving him one
more than Sam took, and to his
wife, one-ninth of the remand

the younger sons and their
wives until the entire herd was

TAX SUIT GOES
TO HIGH Court.
Government Appeals Action
Involving Alfred |. du-
Points Stock
INJUNCTION BY
APPELLATE COURT

The suit instituted by Alfred I.
DUPONT to enjoin the Federal gov
eminent from collecting $1,576, 900
in income taxes on duPont's COM
psny stock, is to be carried to the
United States Supreme Court.
Close following a decision by the
United States Circuit Court Of APP
peals given in Philadelphia yester-
day afternoon, sustaining the injunc-
ton granted several months ago by
Judge ]. Whitaker Thompson, in
United States District Court, District
Attorney James H. Hughes, Jr.. an
nounced an appeal to the highest
tribunal, in Washington. would be
taken, saying:
The Government does not intend
to rest its case until II has been
carried TO the highest court. We
intend to appeal from the decision
of the Circuit Court and are pre-
pared to do this Immediately"
The case has been before the
courts for more than year Early
in November the government sought
10 have the Injunction set aside and
presented argument in the Circuit
Court, Philadelphia. After hearing
the arguments, the court suggested
that in view of questions OF law in
volved that were much in dispute,
both sides agree on a statement of
the points OF law in dispute
to be certified TO the United States
Supreme Court and that after that
tribunal had given an Interpretation
of the disputed points. the Circuit
Court would then act in the case.
Both sides held several confer
ences Immediately following the ac-
ton OF the Circuit Court but finally
concluded that no common ground
could be reached. The case then
reverted to the Circuit Court, which
yesterday gave its decision sustain
Ing the injunction.
The suit grew out OF the attempt
OF former Collector OF Internal Rev
enue Harry T. Graham to collect
S1,576,016 in back taxes alleged to
be due the government. The taxes
were alleged to have been unpaid
on stock received by Mr.. du-
Pont at the time OF the reorganiza.
ton of the dupont Company in 1915.
The decision, when 1t is finally
reached, will also affect numerous
other stockholders of the dupont
Company and involves several mill
lion dollars more than the amount
in question in this particular &C
ton.
In adopting verbatim the opinion
filed by Judge Thompson in granting
this injunction, the Circuit Court of
Appeals yesterday also approved the
ruling Of Judge Thompson that the
collector Of internal revenue may
file lawsuit for the recovery of
taxes from Mr.. dupont.
Mr.. DUPONT has been represented
by William A. Glasgow and Henry
p. Brown, and the government by
Mr.. Hughes, Carl A Mapes, coun-
sci OF the Internal Revenue Depart
ment, and Chester A. Gwinn, coun-
sci for the Treasury Department.

class team may be formed, and re-
hearsals started.

taking the initiatory degree tomor-
row night will increase the num-
Der of new members taken into our
lodge in the last month to eighty
five. Don't let us lay this record
on a shelf TO he forgotten, but using
Il as a goal, try to surpass it in the
coming year. Don't stop bringing
in applications because our veter-
ans night has passed. Make each
Friday night a candidate night.

WHEAT PRICES ON DOWNWARD RANGE

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Wheat had a downward trend most of the time to- day largely as a result of continued cause of word that a voluntary re- duction in railroad freight rates on export grain had been refused. The market closed unsettled A to Mc lower, December s1.07Q1 1.07 t and May $1.111s @112. Corn lost 1s to 6@5sc and oats a shade to A O %c. In provisions, the outcome was unchanged to 1OQ12c higher.
 Bears in the wheat market got some advantage in the first part of the day by emphasizing news that Minneapolis mills were again rather liberal buyers of wheat grown in Canada. It was also pointed out that weather conditions in Canada were favorable for the movement of grain and the carrying capacity of the rail roads there would be thus utilized to the maximum for a considerable time A further bearish influence was the fact that estimates pointed to a larger domestic acreage Of winter wheat than had been looked TOT d few weeks ago.
 Temporary rallyIng power which the wheat market displayed during subsequent trade was based on in dications that two million bushels of Canadian wheat had been purchased for shipment to Europe. News. how ever, which was received just before the close that President Coolidge's suggestion of a cut in freight rates on export wheat had been rejected by the railroads led to considerable selling here and the wheat market closed at virtually the lowest figures of the. day.
 Corn, like wheat lacked adequate buying support near the finish. Earl fer the market had been firm owing to disappointing husking returns, bull fish crop estimates and prospective unfavorable weather. Oats followed corn.
 Provisions were governed by the course of hog values.

CURB LIST STILL CLIMBING UPWARD

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-Oil shares showed a slightly reactionary ten dency in today's curb market but the rest of the list continued the upward movement which started yesterday morning. Heaviness of the oils was attributed to the unstable condition Of that industry because of frequent price cuts and continued over pro auction. Oils of Indiana and New York, Va cum. Salt Creek Producers, lnterna- tional, Mutuel and Southern States showed only small fractional changes on the day. Prairie Oil and Gas closed points lower at IFS after having sold as high as 1S3 while Ohio closed 21s higher at 56A.
 Coal shares were more active at rising prices, souther coal and iron touching a new top at 20, Glen Alden touching 76% and Reading Coal sos 2214, but all yielding slightly before the close. Radio Corporation prefer red and Hudson and Manhattan also sold at 1faw highs while Park and Tilford duplicated it's previous top price. New Jersey Zinc dropped ? points on publication of an unfav- orable earnings report.

The deal in cludes the right of manufacture on all engines, machinery snd auxiiaries of the type of dirigible.
 The purchase price was not an- nounced but it was declared to be one of the highest in the history of in- ternatIonal aviation.
 The giant air liners will be manu- factured at the Wingfoot Lake avia- ton field near here, and at the Good year factories in this city, making Akron the center of the worlds lighter -than-air craft manufacture.
 Plans completed by the German aerian navigators for the establish ment of # day transatlantic alr service will be organized as soon as the manufacture of the great liners get under way here, it was stated.

 Negotiations for the purchase have been under way for some time, Good year officials said. They will be laid before the authorities in Washington In a few days, after which the details will be made public.
 Information gathered here from various sources, indicate that a corps of experienced zepplin designers and builders will be brought. here from the plants at Freidrichshaven, where the first Zepplin was built about 25 years ago. These plants have been virtually inactive since the armistice was signed only the manufacture of limited number of aircraft for oth- CT governments being permitted un- der the peace terms.
