Washixuton, April 9.—After almost a month of deliberation, the United States supreme court rendered its decision yesterday in the income tax eases, deciding by a divided court the law to 1)6 valid, except regarding the income derived from rents and municipal bonds, on which points the decision was that the law was unconstitutional. The opinion was general among lawyers and legislators that the case would be reached yesterday, and the interest which has characterized the case from the beginning was again made manifest by an unusual attendance of the public
in the courtroom. Oue Member Absent.
There was only oue member of the bench absent—Justice Jackson — who has not been able to attend upon the court since last fall and who has not participated in the consideration of the case in any way. It is to his absence that the even division of the court on the majority of the propositions involved in the case is due. If he had been present, such a result would have been impossible, and the opinion would have included a decision of all the points involved, instead of only the two in regard to incomes derived from rents and mu-
nicipal and state bonds.
When Chief Justice Fuller, after making a few routine announcements, began at 12:05 to read the court’s decree in the case of Charles Pollock vs. The Farmers Loan and Trust company and others. This was the first in order of the cases against the trust companys, and the conclusion reached in it apply

<
also to the case of Hyde vs. The Continental Trust company, as the questions at issue are the same in Iwth cases. The chief justice read with considerable rapidity, but ids voice was at all times clear and distinct. The delivery of the opinion consumed an hour’s time, and all present gave the closest attention.
Decision by Chief .lustire.
Mr. Fuller began with a brief reference to the question of jurisdiction in the case. This point had, he said, been frequently referred to, but he dismissed it by saying that as the question had not been raised in the court below, and had been waived in the argument of the case in the supreme court, there appeared no objection to considering the
case purely in its merits.
Proceeding to this end, he gave his attention to the objections to the law. as made by the appellant, quoting the
principal ones as follows:
1. That by the constitution, federal taxation is divided into two great classes: Direct taxes and duties, imports and excise. 2. The imposition of direct taxes is governed by the rule of apportionment among the several states, according to numbers, and the imposition of duties, imposts and excises by the rule sf uniformity through-
out the United States.
8. That the principle that taxation and representation go together was intended to be, and was, preserved in the constitution by the establishment of the rule of apportionment among the several states, so that such apportionment should be accord-
ing to numbers in each state.
4. That the states surrendered their power to levy imports and to regulate commerce to the general government, and gave it concurrent power to levy direct taxes in reliance upon the protection afforded by the rules prescrilied, and that the promises of the constitution cannot be
disturls-d by legislative action.
5. That these conclusions result from the text of the constitution, and are supirted bv the historical evidence furnished the circumstances surrounding the
tnac uniter me cousTtcutlon reaeral taxes and duties, imports and excises, and laid down the rule that direct taxes should under that instrument be governed by the rtrie of apportionment among the several states according to population. Referring to the question of direct taxation, he said that it was not to be presumed that the framers of the constitution were not men capable of appreciating what they were doing when they provided for a dili'erentiatiou of
imports,
1.. AGAINST Gfc.M-.KAL MAHONS. Involve* Property Which lit? VV'ns Trying to Sell the Government. Washin’oton, April 9.—A suit was filed iti the district court yesterday involving the property which General William Mahout- lias been trying to sell ■ • government for a printing office .te. It is brought by Richard Windsor, executor of David A. Windsor, Mahone’s partner, who lias judgment against him for $18,500. The papers also assert that upon the Mahone property Jacob Tome has a lien of $-10,000 and that on Dec. 1, 18112, several months after the judgment against Mahone was obtained by Windsor, a trust deed was executed upon the same property in the sum of $20,000 to Myron M. Parker, John U. Heald and Edgar Allen. Windsor asks that this trust be set aside and his judgment allowed. Will Affect Washington. Washington, April 9.—-Treasury officials are greatly dispirited over the supreme court’s decision in the income tax cases, and while admitting that they have no reliable data upon which to form an accurate estimate they express the belief that the net result of the decision will be a loss Of at least 50 per cent of their receipts from incomes In some cities the loss will be far greater than tnis, notably in the city of Washington, where the loss is expected to reach 75 per cent. Washington, however, is exceptionally a renting city. More Stringent Law*. Washington, April 9.—Secretary Smith has amended the rules governing Yellowstone park which will make the enforcement of the law against those killing animals and birds more stringent. Hereafter persons ejected cannot return except by permission. Should such persons return without permission they will bo subject to a line or imprisonment.

0. That i he understanding and expectation at the time of the adoption of the constitution was that direct taxes would not lie levied upon the general government except under the pressure of extraordinary exigency, and such has been the practice down to Aug. 15, G'.G. If the power to do soisto be exercised as an ordinary and usual means of supply, that fact furnishes an additional reason for circumspection in

8. That by no previous decision of this court lias this question lieen adjudicated to the contrary of the conclusions now an-

BATTLING A NtW ENEMY.
Burungton, Ind., April 9.—Tlie residents of this village had planned to have a celebration this week, but the event baa been necessarily postponed. Tlie license of the village saloonkeeper expired l ist Saturday, and his application fora renewal had been defeated. Lithe belief that the people at last, after many years’ struggle had banished the grogshop, tin- Burlington folks arranged to have a grand jollification. Last Saturday, however, tlie proprietor, Evan Hopkins of Frankfort, announced that lie would continue business under government license and run a quart shop. As a result, great in liguatiou exists in the town and vicinity, and further violence may be expected. Tlie place lias been blown upwitli dynamite six times, and has been the scene of numerous riots. A month ago Sam Spitb-r of Ko- j komo, who then owned the saloon, hud his throat cut, and he came near dying j of ins wounds. Leu Bowie, who did the carving, was acquitted on preliminary trial, and tin- grand jury that lias just adjourned refused to indict him. | At mi election ently held there were ( four votes in favor of tlie s ’.loou mid 121 | against it. The saloonke per, in his determination to continue business in spite of tlie almost unanimous sentiment against him, is inviting another visit from the dynamiter, and it is t!i> general impression that the call will not be

Minneapolis, April 9.—Tin Kansas hypnotism decision has aroused considerable interest here in view of tlie bearing in may have on the defense of Claus A. Blixt in tlie Ging murder case. The defense has never declared its intention of pi -adiug hypnotic influence over Blixt by Harry Hayward a.s a defense, and the state’s attorneys do not believe the defense is possible, even if it w ere legal under the Kansas decision. Blixt’s own story on tlie stand in the Hayward trial would, it is pointed out, prevent the hypnotic idea.

There was no loss of human life because the storm was not accompanied by tlie usual degree of cold, but many horses and cattle in western Kansas are reported to have Im-i-u suffocated by the whirling clouds of sand. The sand and snow filled up the railroad cuts and buried the tracks. The snow melted and the sand sett.ed down in a hard unyielding mass. Rotary snow plows and all the modern mechanical appliances for battling with snow drifts were useless against this new enemy and the railroad companies were compelled to engage men with picks and shovels to remove the stunl from the
