There is no doubt about tho bad ef

INCOME TAX IS VOID
SUPREME COURT DECLARES IT TG
.BE UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Justices Harlan and Whit Were So Em
pbatic In Tbeir ArrmlfmsaeBt of the Mm
Jorlty as to Cause Cemmemt Appearanc
of Justice Jackson a Surprise.
Washington, May 21. The income
tax law, which has received so large a
share of the public attention since the
beginning of the first regular session ol
the Fifty-third congress, is a thing ol
the past. After being twice heard in
the United States supreme court it was
finally decided Monday by the court tc
be invalid and unconstitutional. There
were four dissenting opinions, one each
by Justices Harlan, Brown, Jackson
and White, showing the court had stood
5 to 4 against the law. Inasmuch as
one of these dissenting opinions was
handed down by Justice Jackson, and
as he was absent at the first hearing.
when the court divided evenly on the
Question of sustaining the law on all
points, except those as to the tax on in
comes from rents and bonds, it follows
that one of the members of The court
who at first pronounced for the law ex
cept on those two points, changed his
attitude after the second argument.
There is very little question that it was
Justice Shiras who changed his views
on these points. He made no announce
ment when either opinion was de
livered. Xaw as m Whole Invalid.
While the opinion of the chief justice
was largely a review of the general as
pects of the question involved, he based
the opinion of the court upon the argu
ment that the provisions of the law re
garding the tax on rents and bonds were
so essentially a factor of it as to render
all other parts of it dependent on them
and in accordance with the well known
rule of law bearing on this question, the
law as a whole must be declared invalid.
The opinions of Justices Harlan and
White were concluded in language so
vigorous and were so emphatic in their
arraignment of the majority as to cause
very general comment. Both justices
indicated their belief that the ruling
opinion was revolutionary and inti
mated that serious consequences might
ensue. Justice Harlan suggested the
necessity for amending the constitution
in view of the opinion. The courtroom
was packed during the entire three
hours when the opinions were being de
livered. The unexpected event of the day was
In the appearance of Justice Jackson.
He had announced after casting his vote
on Saturday, May 11, that he would re
turn on the following Monday to Ten
nessee, but it appears that instead he
went to Philadelphia to consult a
specialist on internal diseases. He left
the bench immediately after delivering
his opinion and it is understood will
now proceed south. He delivered his
opinion from notes. It should probably
be stated that while the cases in which
these opinions were delivered are uni
formly characterized as the income tax
cases, they are known on the court
dockets as tho cases of- Charles Pollock
against the Farmers' Loan and. Trust
company and Louis H. Hyde against the
Continental Trust company of New
York, both appealed from the circuit
court of the United States, southern dis
trict of New York.
Conclusions of the Court.
The conclusions of the court were as
follows:
1. We adhere to the opinion already
announced that taxes on real estate be
ing indisputably direct taxes, taxes on
the rents on income of real estate are
equally direct taxes.
2. We are of opinion that taxes on
personal property or on the income of per
sonal property are likewise direct taxes.
8. The tax imposed by sections 27 to
87 inclusive of the act of 1894 so far as
it falls on the income of real estate and
on personal property being a direct tax
within tho meaning of the constitution,
and, therefore, unconstitutional and
void, because not apportioned according
to representation, all those sections con
stituting one entire scheme of taxation
are necessarily invalid. The decrees
hereinbefore entered in this court will
be vacated. The decrees below will be
reversed and the cases remanded with
instructions to grant the relief prayed.
Sections 27 to iil of the tariff act of
1894 referred to in the conclusions of
the court in the opinions are all the sec
tions of the act relating to the income
tax, so that the entire income tax law is
declared void specifically.
EXTRA SESSION NOT NECESSARY.
Decision of the Court Will Materially Cut
Down Anticipated Revenues.
Washington, May 22. Commissioner
Miller of the internal revenue bureau
sent this telegram to the collectors of
internal revenue: "Income tax law de
clared unconstitutional by supreme
court. Stop all work in connection
therewith and send to this office at once
under seal all books, assessment lists,
returns and records iu your office or in
hands of deputies relating to the income
tax."
In the commissioner's opinion fully
$85,000,000 or $40,000,000 would have
been collected during the first year from
incomes had the entire law been sus
tained by the court, and even if it had
been shorn of the rent provision at
least $15,000,000 and probably $20,000,
000, he estimated, would have been
collected.

moneys on application of the payees.
Although tho decision of the court will
materially cut down the anticipated reve
nues of the government.it is not thought
it will necessitate an extra session of con
gress, except some unlooked for con
tingency arises. It is known that the
administration does not regard an ex
tra session as necessary.
THE SEMINARIES MUST COME IN.
Presbyterian Assembly Stands by the Re
port or the Committee.
Pittsburg, May 22. By a vote of 432
to 93 the Presbyterian general assembly
decided to continue the movement which
is intended to give the assembly abso
lute control over its theological seminar
ies. - An attempt to eet a vea and nav
vote failed for lack of a vote of one-third
of the commissioners in its favor, only
105 responding to the demand. The re
sult of the vote wa3 a surprise to even
the best observers. Jubilation marked
the faces of those who supported the
resolutions of the conference committee
and the features of moderator and clerk
were wreathed iu smiles. The old com
mittee was reappointed with the addi
tion of three ministers, of whom the
moderatot was to be one, and of two
elders. The fourth resolution provided
for approval of the government of these
seminaries under syuodical and Presby
terian control, but in its final form this
approval was eliminated. Their great
success promises to embolden the con
servatives for drastic measures against
the students of Union seminaries. The
vote was a declaration of war to the
knife and the only end will be surren
der or secession. A fraternal letter was
ent to the general assembly of the
southern Presbyterian church at Dallas,
Tex.
HUNDREDS
LEFT HOMELESS.
St. Albans, Vt, Is Swept by am
AwfalCoa-
Satrrstioa.
St. Albans, Vt., May 0. The most
disastrous conflagration which has ever
visited Vermont laid waste a great por
tion of the business section of this town.
The fire started in the. lumber yard of
W. B. Fonda, and in five minutes the
fire was raging in a dozen different
places, and the fire companies were
powerless.
Fully 500 people arewithout shelter.
Forty business places were destroyed,
together with at least 100 tenements, to
say nothing of other places.
The flames jumped from the lumber
yard to the center of the town in an in
stant, passing over a territory f idly 500
feet in extent without doing any dam
age. From the center of the town the
conflagration passed northward, de
stroying in its progress the new govern
ment building, the St. Albans Daily
Messenger and streets of business houses
j and tenements.
The loss was about
$700,000.
FLAYED AND BURNED ALIVE.
Horrible Fate of Three Negroes Who Out
raced m White Woman.
Madison. Fla., May 21. There is no
longer any doubt that Sam Echols, Sim
Crawley and John Brooks, the negroes
who outraged and murdered Miss Min
nie Armstrong were flayed and burned.
A man who has just reached this place
from Lafayette county says the belief is
that the negroes were tortured to death.
One man who ventured into the swamp
into which the negroes were carried as
serfs that he found the place where they
were pnt to death. He says that it was
evident that the negroes were tied to
trees and the skin stripped from them
with knives. Then wood was heaped
about the bleeding forms, the match ap
plied and they were soon dead. This
man says that he found some strips of
skin about the place, which bears out
the assertion that the negroes were
flayed. Everything is quiet in La
fayette county, and there is no fear of
trouble between the races.
Rebels 4re Sweeping: Cuba.
Santiago de Cuba, May 19. The in
surrection grows with tremendous
strides. General Martinez Campos has
changed his mind about ending tho
trouble in three months. The chiefs
are greatly elated over the progress of
the revolution. They say that more
has been accomplished during the last
month than during the first five years
of the last war. They declare that this
war will not last more than two years,
and may be terminated in a very much
shorter time if the people of other
provinces do what is expected of them.
The original plan for a simultaneous
rising in all parts of the island failed
and the plan now is to extend the wave
of the revolution westward, sweeping
the Spaniards before it until all Cuba is
in arms.
For this purpose Gomez and Marti
have gone to Puerto Principe, and
already comes news of encounters be
tween government troops and bands of
Cubans formed in anticipation of their
arrival. In this province the rebels now
have more men, more arms, ammuni
tion, horses and facilities for obtaining
subsistence thau they had at any time
in the ten years of war. They have
forests in their rear which are impene
trable to the Spanish troops, and they
have mountain retreats where 100 men
can hold their own against 1,000.
Peach Crop or Delaware.
Philadelphia, May 22. The peach
crop in Delaware has withstood the May
blizzard and will likely turn out a large
yield. That state's last record is 50,
000,000 baskets and the crop this year is
estimated at from 30,000,000 to 40,000.
000 baskets. All danger from cold is
now over and the only danger ahead is
the premature fall of green peaches in
June. It is caused by insect stings or
weakness of the fruit. ,
OPENS THE KICKAPQO COUNTRY
President's Proclamation Has Caused Great
Excitement In That Sectioa.
Githrie, O. T., May 20. The publi
cation of the president's proclamation
opening the Kiel apoo Indian country tc
settlement created great excitement iu
this section. Although everybody was
expecting the news, its sudden an
nouncement came as a surprise. All if
excitement iu the towns surrounding
the new El Dorado and everything from
a horse to a bicycle is being got in readi
ness for the coming race for farms,
whioh bids fair to equal the Cherokee
Strip, Next Thursday, at noon, 132.00C
acres will be thrown open to settlement.
Eighty-three thousand acres have been
reserved for school land purposes, but
Governor Renfrew has given out word
that he will immediately throw open
the school lands. This fact will help
hundreds of the people who will fail tc
get in on the ground floor in Thursday's
race. The trains are already bringing
in hundreds of prospective settlers, and
it is estimated that by Wednesday
night 75,000 people will be lining the
borders of the Kickapoo country.

San Francisco, May 17. Julius Pal

as a special correspondent of a New

be a crisis there, and that the end can
only be a restoration of the monorchia!

never will be harmony until the mon

Washington, May 18. The president
today signed the proclamations declar

South Dakota, and the Siletz reserva
tion in Oregon, open to settlement at
noon, May 31. The lands will be thrown
open to settlement within a few days of
the issuance of the proclamations. The
general land office, it is understood, has
already placed itself in readiness to curry
out the provisions of the proclamations.
The Yankton reservation embraces
about 168,000 acres of the best land in
the Dakotas, but the Siletz is a small one.

ARGUMENT IN THE ASYLUM CASE.
Judge Tibbetts Takes the Injunction Mat
ter Under Advisement.
Lincoln, May 19. Argument in the
injunction case of Hay against Abbott
was concluded in the district court and
Judge Tibbetts took tho matter under
advisemant until the first of next week.
Dr. Hay was represented by J. R. Web
ster and Dr. Abbott by Attorneys Hot
tenback and John Abbott of Fremont.
The point argued was the tenure of
office, involving the right of Governor
Holcomb to remove. Should Jndge
Tibbetts decide to make the injunction
permanent it is confidently expected
that Governor Holcomb will remove
Dr. Abbott from the office of superin
tendent of the Lincoln insane hospital
and immediately reappoint him and
proceed to take possession of the hospi
tal in the name of the state.
Such a course would leave the perma.'
nent injunction a dead letter so far as
Dr. Abbott is concerned, as it would
only lie against the appointee of Gover
nor Holcomb of March last. From now
out a radical and forcible move may bo
looked for any day on the part of the
executive.
A. Q. U. W, CONVENTION.
Unarses Against Grand Master Tate Prove
to Be Groundless.
Kearney, May 17. In the grand
lodge of the Ancient Order of United

pf several years. The charges were
thoroughly investigated and, after a
careful consideration, Tate was exoner
ated on every count. After the lodge
had taken this action a resolution was
presented and adopted denouncing the
charges and the parties who preferred
them.

kotas being now in session greetings
were sent to each and the compliments
Were returned

kill Mrs. Payton.
