1101 Til HEARING
Re-Argument of the Case
Before Supreme Court.
Full Bench Present—Large Gut her- i
lug of Legal Talent Interested In
the Argnincuts Counsel Attack
the Constitutionality of the Law.
Say It Should Be Declared Void.
Washington, May 7.—The roargumenfc
of the income tax cased began In the su
preme court of the United States yester
day in the presence of a large assemblage
ol law and laity. For the iirst time
since last November there was a full
complement of justices 011 the bench, j
Justice Jackson took an active interest
in the proceedings, and there was ap
parently nothing to warrant the expec
tation that lie might not be able to un
dergo the fatigue of the hearing. It was ,
well 011 toward 1 o'clock when W. I). j
Guthrie opened the argument for tho
petitioners, Messrs. Ilyde and Pollock,
who seek to enjoin tho directors of tho
Farmers' Loan <£: Trust and Continen
tal Trust companies, "f New York, from
paying th. tax 011 the dividends declared
on the stock of these corporations, and
in so doing attack the constitutionality
of the law.
Against Direct Taxation.
In submitting tho petition for a re- j
hearing, Mr. Guthrie said there was a ,
doubt, not so much us to whether cou
gross had power to tax, but as to its
method of taxation. The decision in this ! j
ease should settle finally and forever the 1
greatest constitutional question ever
brought before the court. 111 the con- |
volitions called to ratify the constitution t
tho matter of direct taxes WHS particu- <
htrly referred to. Mr. Guthrie tlleu
called the attention of the court to the <
instances where personal property was •
particularly referred to, in order to show j 1
the court that the people understood that |
taxes on personalty were included in tho i ]
term "direct taxes." Marshall, in the
Virginia convention, explained the term 1
direct taxes when he said; "The objects 1
of direct taxes are well understood, but i
they are few. Lands, slaves, stock of all 1
kinds, and a few otner articles of do- >
mestic property."
Tax I.aws of the Colonies.
Mr. Guthrie also quoted from debates j
in the conventions in North Carolina,
New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
etc., to show that tho people did not un
derstand or consider the word "direct" .
in tho constitution applied only to capi
tation taxes and taxes directly on land.
Mr. Guthrie then examined the tax laws
of the colonies and states in order to
show tho familiarity of the delegates 3
with taxes not only upon land and in- i
come derived therefrom, but upon per- '
sonal property or estate and the income I
and profits thereof. This examination
tended to prove that the delegates must
have intended to include u tax on per
sonal estate, for otherwise, it must be
clear that if they contemplated merely a
land tax, they would have used these 1
words. s
Land and Personal Property. 1
No difference in principle between the
taxations of land and the taxation of
personal property could be suggested (
which was recognized in jurisprudence.
Land had some use, irrespective of its
income, but tho great body of personal i
property has 110 value whatever to Its '
owner, except by reason of the income
arising therefrom. Logically, if taxes <
on rents, issues and profit of real estate I 1
are equivalent to tuxes on the land itself,
and, therefore direct taxes, taxes on the 1
income of personal property as such must
be equivalent to tuxes on such property 1
and therefore direct taxes.
Invalidates the Whole Act.
Mr. Guthrie then presented the views
set forth at some length in the brief upon
the contention that as it was clearly tho ! ,
intention of congress to have the law act j ,
as 11 whole upon all incomes, the pro- I
visions which are unquestionably void |
invalidates the whole act. In order to
preserve the provisions now remaining i
the court must strike out words actually 1 ■
used, such as rents, income and product
of land.
Court Must Interpret, Not Remodel.
Counsel took the ground that It was
impossible for tho court to remodel tho
tho act and say that congress would have
passed tho act without the provisions j
which it has in terms made an integral ;
part. For tlie court to do this would be \
legislating and making a law, not doclar- j
ing or interpreting it. This contention i
was enforced by many citations from de
cisions.
Luck of Uniformity.
The most glaring Instance of tho lack
of uniformity and equality was the ex
ception of selected corporations and in
stitutions under Which over $2,000,000, - j
000 of accumulations were relieved from I
the duty and burden of federal taxation.
The real question in the cast- was whether !
this act lacks uniformity and creates in- \
equalities, and he said counsel would 1
devote thomselvcs to thut question of
fact and not to refuting what was so
strenuously argued by the government—
that the uniformity required By the con
stitution was merely geographical. There
fore the act of 1804 faili d wholly to com
ply with the constitutional requirement. !
Mr. Whitney for tho Government*
Mr. Guthrie was followed by assist
ant attorney general E. B. Whitney in
support of the law Mr. Whitney said
tlie government would suggest nothing
further on tho subject of tax upon state
and municipal bonds than had been set
forth in the original argument. It was j
not necessary, he said, that n law should j
specify in its terms every exception to j
which it is subject in order to make it
constitutional; otherwise, he submitted,
there have been but few valid tax laws
passed by the congress. Tho ruling of
tho court as to the subject of state and
municipal bonds, Mr. Whitney said, (lid !
not, in the opiuion of the government's !
counsel, uilect tho other points involved.

ity in the Tennessee Legislature.
Nashville, Tenn., May 4.—When the
general assembly convened in joint con
vention last night to continue proceed
ings in the gubernatorial contest there
was crowd of spectators and excitement
was intense. The impression had gained
ground that Evans would be seated.
Mr. Jar vis, in behalf of Turiioy, re
sumed his argument. He was followed
by Bates, dem., who was opposed to
voing Turney into office. Representa
tive King replied to hi in. The debate
was closed by Senator Caldwell, chair
man of tho investigating committee, the
vote recurred on motion to substitute
the minority for the majority, resulting
57 ayes and 71 nays.
Motion to adopt the majority report
recommending that l'eter Turney be de
clared elected governor was put and car

the joint convention adjourned. There
was cheering.
Great sensation was caused yesterday
afternoon. A card was published In an
afternoon paper by a republican mem
ber, charging that he had been offered
money to vote for Turney and offering
to prove the charge. In tho Joint conven
tion Representative Deakin, who had
claimed to have been offerred SI,OOO for
Turney, said it was all a joke.

Jefferson, the actor, lectured at Yale
yesterday on "Dramatic Art." He was

and many colleges of giving no attention
to pure dramatic art, but giving farce
comedies such as "Mr. Napoleon," the
play in preparation by the Yale secret
societies. Mr. Jefferson looked on the
practice as a sign of degeneracy

CORIHTO EVACUATED
The Port Quietly Restored
to the Nicaraguans.
No Scenes of Turbulence In the Cen
tral American Capital The In
demnity To Be Paid Within Two
Weeks In London—Zclaya a Wise
and Just Ruler.
Washington, May o.—According toad
vices received here the evacuation of Co
rinto by tho British fleet was quietly ac
complished and the port was restored to
Nicaraguan authority. Early yesterday
morning Minister Guzman received a ca
ble message stating that all the prelimi
naries had been satisfactorily arranged
with the British admiral, through tho
intermediation of Seuor Fialios of Hon
duras.
All Friction Avoided.
In this manner Nicaragua was sparod
any appearance of humiliation and fric
tion was avoided. Nicaragua will pay
the indemnity in London within tho two
weeks stipulated and tho remaining
terms of the ultimatum will be satisfac
torily arranged. The Nicaraguan people
appear to thoroughly understand Presi
dent Zelaya, who is a man of great pluck
and determination and they have up
proved his course in the matter.
Zclaya a Just Ruler.
Published statements that "howling
mobs" wore parading the streets of Man
agua, the capital, shouting "Death to,
Zelaya" appear to have no foundation in
fact. Zelaya is not the man to tolurute
demonstrations of that kind. He him
self headed a revolution two years ago,
which overthrow an obnoxious govern
ment in fifteen days. Within that time
he fought three battles and captured the
capital. He was chosen president by the
constitutional convention which was im
mediately organized and has proved him- 1
self to be a wise and just ruler.

JAPAN AND THE POWERS
Stated That She Will Con
cede Russia's Demands.
An Amicable Agreement Promised-
Russia Will Bo Satisfied with a
Barge Slice of Manchuria, Whtlo
Japan Will Bo Contented with a
Larger Indemnity.
Paris, May o.—The St. Petersburg
correspondent of the Temps says that
Japan, in her reply to the joint protest,
consented to abandon Liso Tong, except
ing Port Arthur. The protesting powers
have not reached an agreement regard
ing the reply, the correspondent asserts,
ami the exchanges of opinion continues.
The European edition of the Herald
learns from its Derlin correspondent that
Russia has informed Germany she will
declare war in case Japan insists upon the
Shimonoseki troaty.
Situation in Formosa.
London, May 0. Dispatches from
Hong Kong say that the situation in
Formosa is most serious. British and
German marines have been landed at
Anping to protect the foreigners, and
British sailors and armed launches are
patrolling Takau harbor. The black
flags cause much anxiety. They seldom
have been more threatening in recent
years. Considerable upprchcnsion is felt
in Hong Kong as regards the differences
between Russia and Japan.
Amicable Agreement Promised.
The Standard's Berlin correspondent
says: "Although Japan's first reply to
the joiut protest was unsatisfactory, the
present state of the negotiations promises
an nmicable agreement. The details are
secret, but it seems that Russia will bo
satisfied if she gets a large slice of south
east Manchuria, containing one or more
Ice-free harbors, while Japan will be con
tent if she gets an island or more be
sides an increased indemnity. Should
the Japnnese war party persist in not
altering the treaty, Premier Count Ito
probably will be sacrifled. The powers
certainly will insure China's giving
Japan an ample guurauteo for the in
demity granted in lieu of territory.
No Edict Issued.
The Timco correspondent in Peklu
says: "The fact that the emperor has
ratified the treaty is known only to a few
persons. No edict has been issued.
Prince Kung urged the ratification.
Mail)' Chinese would huye preferred that
the Japanese reach Pekin, as the gov
ernment then would have been com
pelled to initiute reforms. Now there is
small chunce of any change for the
better."
Lost Control of Soldiers.
The Times correspondent in Hong
Koug confirms the reports of disturbance
in Formosa. The governor says the ces
sion of the island to the Japanese would
produce rebellion. He has lost control
of the soldiers, and the foreigners must
take measures to insure their own safety.
11. M. S. Spartau is preparing to land a
force of bluejackets at Jumsui.
Under Scaled Instructions.
The Times correspondent in Berlin
speaks of the report that the Russian
war ships formerly stutioned at Yoko
hama were ordered to sea with sealed in
structions, adding that the squadrons of
the three protesting powers have been
commanded to assemble at Chifu.
SOLE LEATHER GOING Ul\
If the Trust Wins, Shoes Will Cost
Us Forty Per Cent. More.
New York, May o.—An advance In sole
leather to thirty-three cents a pouud has
been made by the United States Leather
company. The price has been raised
within a fortnight from twenty cents.
The company claims that the scarcity of
hides has caused the advance, though
there does not appear to have been any
corresponding rise in the market price of
hides. Dealers and manufacturers are
protesting against the advance, which is
believed to be an attempt at cornering
the market, and it is predicted that the
the present price cannot long be main
tained. The advances already made, if
held, would make $3.00 shoes sell at $4.25,
$4 shoes would cost >JU5.75 and the more
expensive grades in proportion.
