Call Date.
nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Court of Claims yesterday ruled
unanimously against Robert A. TAFT
In his suit to compel the United States
to nay him SLOT interest on a gold
liberty bond called in advance OF its
maturity date.
Potentially affected by the htiga-
ton was approximately $8,849, $40 900
of gold clause bonds called about the
same time by the Government.
A Government spokesman said he
expected Taft, son of the former
President and Chief Justice, would
appeal to the Supreme Court. Taft's
home is at Cincinnati. The litigation
grew out of the act nullifying the gold
payment promise in contracts.
Government Attorney Cheered.
"This decision goes right down the
line for U.S." the Government spokes-
man said of the Claims Courts ruling
The Court of Claims ruling, de-
livered by Judge Littleton, said in
part:
Under the terms of the contract
involved in this case and upon the
facts of record, we are Of opinion that
plaintiff is dismissed"

Gold Redemption Refused.
The bond was presented at ths
Treasury on March II, 1885. Tht
Treasury refused to redeem it in golc
or to pay any interest beyond Octo'
ber IS, 1884. Taft contended it hae
to do one or the other.
THE United States" the Court O.
Claims said, "is not liable for inter.

to pay interest in any case is limited
strictly to the terms of the statute o.

After quoting from the bond, {

tising the securities for sale and a pro
vision of the interest coupon that in
terest would be paid unless called TO

adoed: "It seems clear from wha
has been said that in order for plaintiff
to recover it would be necessary TO
the court to ignore the specific ant
positive provisions of the contract re
lating to the matter of interest"

the law either be taken off the books
or changed go that each candidate
must publish the statement in some

an itemized account. At any rate
these statements are interesting
and amusing.
