In thn last half rt tho eighth round of a fight that was achrduled to fro forty-flvo rnnnda, at th old Jeffries arena here, yesterday. The knurkout wan. not a clean one, the uppprcut which Ianrford dollvred with hll loft hand merely aaceleratiit Flynn'a fall after he had mlwicd a Hunt awing at ban ford'a Jaw and lout his balance. Flynn foil Irono on the mat with his arms extended and dialooated his Jaw.

Ilia chances of winning were dimmed In the first round whnn I.nKford, breaking away from the flrit clinch, delivered a right swlnc to the flreinnn'a loft cheek.

IWore the first round waa ended lanc ford ngUn found Flynn's face with hla rlffht and on the almoat continuous clinches he frequently brought both gloves to Flynn's face and nrck. Flynn IJadly Battered. With hla faco cut and swollen, bleeding from the nous and mouth and apparently weakened In body and spirit by the terrific blow of the colored fighter, Flynn fought through six more rounds and came up fur the eighth BtlU determined to keep the col ored man close to him. In the first seven rounds he had prevented the colored fighter from setting himself for a final knookout by cloning In whenever he found Ms arms free and butting his head up against his opponent's chin. lie could not do that now Langford had him at his mercy and kopt him Off with Jabs to the face and swings with left and right to th body. When the round was half over Langford leaped backward from a clinch and started his right to Flynn's Jaw. Flynn launched a swing with his right, but It failed to find the mark and his body followed. Liang ford's left hand shot to Flynn's Jaw, but It Was mora from his own momentum than from Langford's blow that Flynn went down. In th third round Flynn had fallen to his knees In much the aajne way when Langford sidestepped a right swing. Flynn waa down for seven seconds. ' , AMONG THE LOCAL BOWLERS .

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, OA. CORPORATION -TAX IN COURT Arguments Are Being Heard on Both Side of Payne Tariff Act VALIDITY OF LAW ATTACKED Maxwell Evarta Declares Provision la Arbitrary and Opprraslve Because It Takes Property With out Compensation. WASHINGTON, March IS. For four hours yesterday the supreme court of the 1'nlted States listened to conflicting argu ments on tho constitutionality of tho cor poration tax provisions of the Payno Aldrlch tariff act. After another days argument the court will take ths statute under its consideration with a view to arriving at a decision. Constitutional lawyers from various sections of the country took part In the argument. They were connected with the 150 cases In which the validity of the tax is attacked and which had been consoli dated into one cause for the purpose of Urn hearing. In each of these suits stock holders or policyholders had brought action to prevent corporations from paying tliu tax. Without exception the lower Courts held the tsx constitutional and dismissed the suits. The Home Life Insurance company and the Coney Island & Brooklyn Railroad com pany had counsel present to Insist that these corporations themselves be required to pay the tax. Maxwell Evarts of New York opened the argument. He declared the tax unconsti tutional, because, as he argued, it Inter fered with the powera of the state by taxing a franchise; that it was arbitrary and oppressive because Its publicity clause took private property for public use with out compensation. He was followed by Charles II.- Williams and Richard R. Rogers of New York and E. O. Brown of Chicago, who argued the unconstitutionality of the law as applied to various individual cases. Fifteen Cases Now I p. Fifteen cases Involving the validity of ths tax have been brought to the court for final judgment. AH were advanced for an early hearing and were consolidated. In all tho suits, except one, stockholder J brought the action In the lower federal courts in various parts of the country to enjoin the corporation in which they held stock from paying the tax In conformity with the law. In the other case policy holders of the New York Life Insurance company brought suit. ' In each proceeding the lower court up held the validity of the law and ordered the suits dismissed. Appeals were then taken to the United States supreme court Mr. Evarts devoted much of his time to arguing the point that the law Invaded the sovereignty of a state. He said the tax was arbitrary and op pressive and in violation of the fifth amendment of the constitution. His third attack waa o,n the publicity feature of the law. which, he said, had nothing to do with taxation. "When the return Us made and the tax ascertained thereby and possibly the tax paid," said Mr. Evarts, "the return Is made a public record, open to Inspection. By what power of congress la that done? Perhaps It is a part of a general scheme of regulation of corporations. But, I ask, where Is the power?" Justice Lurton wanted to know what section of the constitution be claimed was violated thereby. Mr. Evarts said it waa that section . which prohibited the taking of private property for public purposes without compensation. Calls Law Vncoostl t ut lonal. E. O. Brown argued that tha law was unconstitutional as applld to the Northern Trust company and the Corn Exchange National bank of Chicago, principally on the ground that the tax was on bonds ex empted from taxation and on the power of a state to authorize truatsj Solicitor General Bowers began his argu ment in defense of the law about half an hour before the court adjourned. His time was devoted to an endeavor to prove that the tax was levied on the carrying on or doing business, "and was merely meas ured by and was not on the net income." He argued that legislators never would have selected net Income as a measure, if the tax was to be on property, as he Bald acme of the opposition had contended. "Net Income and even gross income," said he, "has no usual, relation to the amount of property employed in the busi ness, whether different sorts of business or the same business at different times be considered. In prosperous times, when the amount of business done with a given plant is large, net Income from the busi ness will be much higher than In dull times, though the size of the plant with which the business done remains the same."
