Supreme Court Declares Act

SOUND ON EVERY POINT
Sweeping Decision Handed Down by
I Chief Justice Sustain* Government'!
Interpretation of Measure.
The supreme court upheld the in
come tax law in a decision given by
Chief Justice White, which swept
said* all. the many .objections to its
constitutionality in whole or in part
Chief Justice White announced the
decision in the case of Prank R. Brush
aber, stockholder of the Union Pacific
railroad, who sought to enjuln t.i«
company from paying the tax on tb«'
ground that it was unconstitutional
Most of Justice White's opinion was
directed toward overrmling the con
tention that the income tax amend
ment provided a hitherto unknown
power of taxation. Oolng far lntc
the history of the Income tax legists
tlon, the chief Justice concluded th«
argument was without merit. Advanc-
Ing to other points, the chief Justice
held that the tax waa not unconatitu (
tlonal because It waa retroactive.
The argument that the law waa un
constitutional because labor, agricul
! tural and horticultural and such or
[ ganlzationa were exempt, the chiel
Justice held, was ankwered by decis
' lons under the corporation tax law
I He said the point was only anoth«i
I Illustration of an erroneous assump
tlon that the tax was imposed under s
new power conferred upon the govern
ment by the sixteenth amendment,
whereas it was a power recognised tc
exist from the beginning of the gov
ernment, and thus decisions deflnint
the taxing power previously rendered
were applicable to It.
Then grouping a number of othei
contentions against tbe law, all based
on the clause of the constitution re
quiring uniformity In taxation, Chlel
Justice White pronounced . them all
lacking in merit, because of preyloui
decisions which determined that the
clause exacted only a geographical
uniformity. N,

ligbt evi.ciiv.e w..th Deputy Cor ner
Stanley btlleves will sub
stantiate tbe theory that the mysteri
ous woman wus one of the secret
agents in the tieat spy system of the
kaiser. \
Mrs. I.Aaiim was found dead in ber
home with a bullet wound in the
head and a revolver clutclied in her
right hand. The only moiive for the
suicide was luund in a note written
by her, in wnlch it was slated that
the cause cf her death would be found
on page 2# of a memorandum book
which she haJ left.
Inspection of this book brought to
light several disconnected German
sentences, which are believed to have
been a code system which the woman
employed in her •fork. On an oppo
site page were the npmes of flity per
■ons, after which appeared large sums
ol money. There was nothing else
to shed light on the woman's act.
° In the past year and a half Mrs.
Leahm had lived a life of mystery
While her husband claims that be did
not mlstrnst his wife, be is puzzled
now to explain what she did with largt
sums of money she frequently bad in
her possession. He declared she often
bad large bundles of currency In hei
home and neighbors have informed
the coroner that Mrs. Leahm often
displayed big bundles of paper money.
Leahm said his wife had been mak
ing weekly visits to New York in the
past year. She told him taht she was
the agent for property In New York
city which was owned by people liv
ing in Kngland and that because ol
the war they were not able to cc,m«
here and transact their business
Leahm admitted that his wife told bin
that she raised large sums by mort
gage on the New York property. Thii
money, she said, wss converted lntc
gold and at regular Intervals was
placed In a suitcase and given to the
captain of a certain steamship ol s
certain line.
This captain, the woman once de
clared, was under secret orders tc
carry the money to England and give
it to people who met his ship at Its
port of destination.
Leahm said tbe woman waa the wife
Ol Karl Kicker, who live i In Brooklyn
N. Y. Eight years ago Leahm and
the woman came here and not until
ber death was the fact revealed tbal
they'were not married.
