At CIemson-C. U. Seen

Followers of George Washington
and Catholic University, the only
District college elevens playing to-
day. were forced to depend on radio
and newspaper reports of their IA
vorites' fortunes as out-of town
games found the Colonials and Car
dinals in the Midwest and South.
Against Clemson at Greenville, S.
c., Bill Reinhart's G. w. team was
a decided underdog. Most Carolin-
ians were ready to give 9-5 that
Clemson would register their fourth
victory of the season at the ex-
pense of the ColonialS, who were
overpowered by Mississippi week
ago today. Clemson holds deci-
sions over Tulane, South Carolina
and Wake Forest and has lost only to
Tennessee, by 7-20 margin.
C. U. Given Even Chance.
c. u, however. was rated an even
chance to upset De Paul at Chicago,
for the two schools have split even
in two previous games. In 1895, De
Paul took a 9-6 decision from C. u.
but the following season C. U. turned
the tables by a 1877 score. DE Paul,
though, has won only one game this
year, beating Ripon in the opener.
Since, it has lost to Illinois, Mon
tana, North Dakota and Loyola.
Maryland and American Univer-
sity were both idle. but will return

D. c. BUSINESS TAX
COURT TEST SET.
Appeals Judges Agree to
Inquire Into Validity Of
Local Measure.

The Court of Appeals yesterday de-
cided to inquire into the legality OF
the Districts much-disputed business
privilege tax in granting writ OF
error from the Municipal Court in a
case involving a wholesale produce
firm. This was the first time the
appellate tribunal has considered the
question.
The appellants are William H.
Neild and j. Emerson Sauerhod.
trading as co-partners at 1905 Water
street SW. Under pretest, they paid
S285 as the business privilege tax and
then brought suit in Municipal Court
against the District Government to
have it refunded, as being an illegal
collection.
Represented by Attorneys Alvin L.
Newmyer and David G. Bress. the ap-
pellants attack the constitutionality
of the levy on four grounds. They
maintain that the Revenue Act inn
posing it is an undue burden on
interstate commerce; that Congress,
acting as a local legislature, does
not have the power to burden inter-
state commerce; that the taxing
statute is discriminatory as between
people engaged in the same type of
business"
Judge Ellen K Raedy in Municipal
Court on April 20 upheld the validity
of the tax. Previously, a three Judge
court on February dismissed an
injunction petition brought by other
business interests, seeking to prevent
the collection of the tax. That tri-
bunal held that an injunction should
not issue, asS the compliments had
an adequate remedy at law-to pay
the tax under protest and, If they
felt aggrieved, seek reimbursement.
The new business privilege tax has
been unpopular in the District with
the firms affected and now for the
first time the question Of its constitu-
tionahty is raised in the upper tri-
bunal.
Howard w. Berry, advertising man,
sought to attack the law, but the case
was dismissed on the ground that he
was not engaged in interstate COM
merce. He was the first to appear in
the courts here to lodge an ofncial
protest against the law.
