Supreme Justices Uphold Executors of Woodward Estate in Deduction.
WILL RE-ARGUE CASES Restore Important Suits to Docket as Court Closes Regular Term. Br Associated Press. WASHINGTON. Juno G The Susrem court brought its regular tertn to a close Monday, adjourning until October 3. Most of the justices plan to leave at once for their summer vacations. Dismissal of the government's appeal, on motion of Solicitor General Frierson from lower court decrees holding that the American Can company did not constitute a. monopoly under th Sherman anti-trust law, and a decision against the government in th estate tax case marked the final day's session. The solicitor general file-d with the court only a fev minutes before it closed a motion to dismiss the appeal in the American Can case, but pave no reason when submitting his motion. Iater he explained that the action had been taken because of the evident meaning: of the court's decision in a similar case against the I'niteJ States Steel corporation, when It held that an "unroas-onanie" restraint must be proven before the hw could he invoked. FphoM Fxccutors. Kxeoutors of the estate of th Iat Alan If. Woodward of Alabama were upheld by the court in their contention that th estate tax assessed under the act of 1916 was an "allowable deduction" in computing the net income of the estate for the purpose of the income tax. A decree of the court of claims holding that tho internal revenue authorities had erred in refusing: to allow such deduction was affirmed. The Woodward estat paid a tax of $409,000 on transfer and was assessed $65,000 as an incom tax on the amount so paid out. The income tax law, the court held, was explicit in allowing deductions of "taxes paid or accrued within the taxable, year imposed by the authority of the United States except Income, war profits and excess profits taxes." Since the estate tax was a federal tax and was not included in the exceptions, the court held that it wa deductible. Most of the cases of general interest remaining undecided Monday were ordered "restored to the docket for rearRument before a full bench." (Contfnuel n ragt' Four.)

Pr Aficnr.-jfM Pre's: CHICAGO. June 6. William Hale Thompson suffered hi first reverso at the polls inoe hi e-lection as mayor in FMF, when a coalition ju-, dicial ticket fwept Chicago Monday, carrying every Thompson candidate to defeat, by unofheial pluralities rangine: from 20,ron to 40.000. A proposition for th issue of J9. 000. 000 bonds for buildincr a new jail was decisively beaten. Another p reposal that free text books be supplied in the public schools apparently carried by a very hmall majority. In the most hotly cDntested judiciary election in the- city's history balloting wat marked by the killlncr of a coalition watcher at the polls by a policeman, several small riots and many charges of fraud. According to the police, the sla'.n man had used profanity in the presence of wotr.en voters and it was declared that he was shot when he resisted arrest. The Thompson candidate?, all republicans, wf re opposed by the Bar association and other civic bodies and resulted in the selection of the coalition ticket, made up of both democrats and republican?. More than ö0 per cent of the 300,000 voters registered went to the polls. It was the flrt Judiciary election at which women have voted and the thousands who cast their ballots were declared to have had a decisive effect on the result. Since his election six: years ago. Mayor Thompson ha.s attracted nation-wide aCention. Following his refusal officially to Invite Marshal Joffre of France to Chicago nt the time of his visit to the United States, he has been almost constantly in thrt public eye. At one time in 1917 h made a spectacular trip to the pacific coast, being hailed by his followers a presidential candidate. He was formerly republican national committeeman. At the last republican national convention ho supported Hiram Johnson and left the hal! with his followers before the nomination of Pres't. Harding. In the present campaign h was accused of trying to build up a political machine extending even t - the circuit and superior court?.
