decision of lie supreme court , soon to be
hanlc town , on the validity of lie Incme
tax law According to the dispatch referred -
erred to : "The United ) States supreme
court In the Income tax has reversed the decision -
renfct
cision of lie lower court. The laconic tax
law as n whole , however , Is upheld , but only
b y a divided court.
"Two Important pro\lglons of the Jaw bow-

but the result ot the consultations In the (
SUl1reme court shows very conclusively that
lie law can easily b plckct to Illrces , pro

"It Is a curious fact but nevertheless
t rite , hat the ( law which was passed at thc
dictaton or the 110111lstc wing or a demo-
cratc congress las heen distorted by the
decision of the United States sUIreme , court
clearly on constitutional grounds In such n
way that It wi nhsolutely protect the class

"The fIrst meeting of lie ( supreme court
was held March 16. two days after the con-
elusion ] or lie arguments , but no decision

that they succeeled In agreeing upon the

Jackson was too Ill to tat ] part. Chief
Justice Fuller and Justces ( Field , Gray and

WASHINGTON , April C-Thte attention or
several members oC the cabinet was called
today to the dispatch from Chicago regard-

supreme court decision on the Income tax

manifestly Improper to discuss any opinion .
of the court , al least until they had been
officially promulgated.
From another bul entirely authentic
source It Is learned that whatever the de-
csion oC the ( court may be the president

and even should the court declare the law
wholly unconstitutional , lie president will I
adhere to his determinaton , not to cal congress -

All efforts to secure from members of the

objections to this nmdavll are that ( the

the right to personal liberty , amid hat with -
