Contract to Pick
Jewish Wives fer
Sons Is Held Valid
Part of Earnings Held in
Trust for Sons by Bal
timOre Merchant.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, April TO- The
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
here yesterday handed down an opinion
in which it was ruled that contract
entered into between Louis Cohen and
his three sons, requiring the sons to
work faithfully for the father and to
marry Jewish girls approved by the
elder Cohen, was valid and that money
Louis Cohen of Baltimore charged off
his income tax as credited to the sons
accounts under the agreement was le-
ultimately reported. The decision was
given on a petition to review the de-.
cision of the United States Board of
Tax Appeals, which held that Cohen
had no legal right to make such an
agreement.
The record in the case shows that
the elder Cohen sought to insure by
contract not only the business, but the
happiness of his sons. Jacob, Samuel
and Benjamin.
This odd business marital contract,
entered into January /, 1919, required
Mr.. Cohen to pay the boys Is per cent
of the net earnings from a wallpaper
business owned by the father. The
money was kept to their accounts and
they could not draw from the accounts
until such time as each of them shall
marry, at which time the amount stand
ing to the credit of said son or sons
shall be paid over to him. together with
interest at the rate Of per cent per
annum.
Provided, however. that it Is re-
ouired of each son that when he or
they do marry, that they marry or con-
tract marriage with party of Jewish
faith and Jewish parentage, subject to
the approval of said Louis Cohen and
his wife, Sara Cohen"
In reversing the Tax Board Of APP
peals the court expressed the opinion
that the board had attached entirely
too much importance to the marriage
provision"
ut is true" the opinion added. that
marriage Is a personal matter and has
nothing to do with the service rendered
by the sons. But the breach of mar
riage condition did not forfeit the extra
compensation already earned"
