A bricf bas been filed in the United States Supreme Court on a motion to ad- vance the New York income tax cases now | pending there. Tne following points are presented: 1. “The bill presents a proper case for squity interposition. A court of equity has jurisdiction at the instance of a stockhol ler in @ corporation te restrain a threatened preach of trust on the part of the director volurtarily paying and not resisting the collection of an unconstitutional tax. The constitutional question is necessarily in- volved in the decision of these cases. Numerous decisions are cited, in one of which, Shelton agt. Pratt, 129 U. S., 591, Mr. Chief Justice Fuller stated the follow- Ing directly in point: “The ground upon which Dodge ast. Woolsey procesded was that a stockholder had a remedy in chancery against the di- rectors of his corporation to restrain them from doing acts which would amount to a violation of the charter, or to prevent any misapplication of their capital or profits, which might lessen the value of the shares, if the acts intended to be done amounted to a breach of trust or duty, and that the refusal of the directors to assist the collection of a cax, which they them- selves believea to have been imposed upon them in violation of their charter, was in al effect a breach of trust. “In addition to the element of breach of trust on the part of directors, there is in the cases at bar the cer- also pre: tainty s loug as the various ques- tions presented remain undecided by the Supreme Court of the United States the failure to contest the act will involve mul- tiplicity of suits with shareholders of th trust companies, as well as with the bene- ficiaries for whem it is acting as trustee,&c. 3. “The unconstitutionality of the law is asserted upon several grounds. First, that it imposes a direct tax with of real estate, rents, issues and protit well as of t ne aid profits of personal property, which, not being apportioned, is in violation of ion 2, article 1 of the Constitution. are not uniform throughout the United States,and it provides for eXemptions and in- equalities in violation of section 8, article 10. Third, in that it makes no exemption of the tax upon incomes derived from the stocks and bonds of states, counties and municipal cities, which amounts to $65 00) annually, and which is not a proper subject for the taxing power of Congress.” Counsel for Mr. John G. Moore of New York, who wes recently denied an injunc- tion by Justice Hagner, in Equity Court No. 2, against Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller, to prohibit the collection of the income tax, took steps yesterday for carrying the case to the Court of Appeals. It is understood to be the intention of the complainant to carry the case to the Su- reme Court of the United States unless Bo obtains a favorable decision sooner. adi EWS NOTES. GENERAL N The Japanese fleet made an attack on Wet-Hai-Wei on Saturday. The fastest Chinese n-of-war and torpedo made a dash at the enemy, and after heavy firing drove them off. The first Japanese division went to the northwest and the second division southward. At th» same time the Japanese made a land at- tack upon Wei-Hai-Wei from Ning Hal. ‘The alarm was given, however, and the Chinese repelled the attack. The Chinese lost twenty-seven sailors. The Japanese losses amounted to more than 300 Killed and wounded. ‘There was a striking scene in the par- lers cf a hotel at Atlanta, Ga., yesterday when Mrs. Ulysses S.

Ways, general freight agent of the Baltl- more and Ohlo railroad, were in the city yesterday, and met the owners of the property adjoining that on the river front, recently purchased by the railroad com- pany, on which to build a depot. The company, as heretofore stated in The Star, wish to close the stand south of the Pio- neer mills to Wilkes street, and offered the property owners there another and better outlet to Union street. They pro- pose also to pave this outlet and keep it open and paved so long es the street is closed. The property ownt.s expressed a willingness to comply with the request of the railroad company and council will be asked to ratify the agreement. Major Johnson told The Star reporter that the work of building the depot would be com- menced as soon as council gives its con- sent to the closing of the street. The lo- cation selected is most convenient to the merchants and fronts on the river, where 25 to 30 feet of water can readily be ob- tained. ‘Tax Fand. City Treasurer M. B.

Two Records Made by the Bowlers Last Night. Below are the scores made on the alleys of the Columbia Athletic Club last night in the District Amateur Bowling League tournament. This was a great match, and a battle royal from. start to finish. The special feature of the evening was the extraordinary work of Harry Mason of the Columbias. He made the pherome- nal three-strong run of 603 pins, which is an average of 201 per game, and which Is by great odds superior to any individual bowling ir any set of games in the tourna- ment. For the evening the Columpbias howled down 2,395 pins, which Is the highest team total of any set of gemes in the tourna- ment, which is a team average of 738 1-3, and an individual average of 159 3-5, of fifteen single runs. ‘The secures, in detail, are as follows: First Game.

Scenes on the Island Reminiscent of Guttenberg and Gloucester. The breeding and development of the thoroughbred horse were encouraged by the Alexander Island race track olticials yesterday in weather and on a_ track which made the many gentlemen formerly of the Guttenberg and Gloucester encov aging and developing stations, but now adding to the charm of the Virginia course, perfectly at home, and pleasantly brought to them reminiscences of the good old days and times, before law and common decency compelled thera to seek other fields. Five so-called races were run, or, rather, slid off, and of the five victorious coasters two were favorites, two wete outsiders and the other a second cheice. Walcott slid in first in the third event, and a real old-time Guttenberg row ensued between the own- ers of the winner and the second horse, Eclipse. The owner of Eclipse bid the winner up to §S05, his owner bidding him in. Jockey Johnson forgot his cunning, so that his pulling of Ponce de Leon was so observable, even to the most gulieless, that the judges indignantly ruled the boy off. The winning sliders and coasters were. Red Cross, 15 to 1; John P., 2 to 1; Wal- cott, 12 to 5; Paragon, 8 to 1; and Gon- zales, 6 to 5. According to the agreement reached at Richmond recently the horses will be given a rest for a month, after tomorrow. An Old Race Scandal Recalled. Frank L. Noble, formerly owner of the famous trotting stallion, Alcyron, died at his home at Grand Rapids, Mich., yester- lay, aged forty-five years. He had been suffering from kidney trouble, and had been confined to his bed for ten days. In August, 1800, when the stallions, Alecyron and Nelson, were matched at Beacon Park, Boston, Noble is said to have sold the race—allowed Neilson to win—for $5,000, for which the owners, drivers and horses were expelled by the National Trotting Association. Nelson and his horse were reinstated two years ago, and Alcyron and his driver, George Robens, were temporar- ily reinstated last fall, but Noble’s appli- cation for reinstatement was denied. He brought suit against the association for $25,000 damages, but falied to appear when the case was ready for trial. Alcyron is now owned by a stock company and ia in charge of Robens, who expects to put him In training in the spring. Against Sunday Games at St. Louis. By a vote of 89 to 2% the Missouri house yesterday went on record as indorsing a bill to prevent Sunday base ball and foot ball. The bill provides for a fine of $50 for each offender, and places such games on a level with Sunday gambling. 'To Prohibit Prize Fighting.

The Proposed Inebriate Asylum. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Having read Mr. Meredith's bill intro- duced in the House to provide for an asy- lum for inebriates, I so heartily join with him in his proposition that I cannot re- frain from saying that I am one of many who wish and pray for this very thing con- tinually. I think this subject has been given less attention heretofore than any other,and no one knows but the mothers, sisters and daughtersof drinking men how very much in need we are of an institution of this kind. Money is always provided for the welfare of young men and women in al- most every other branch, and surely no building could be erected that would be of more comfort and save so much distress to many people as one of this nature cer- tainly would. In this particular instance it is the case of a heart-broken mother, whose son is very infirm and weak, and his only failing exists in submitting to demon drink, abd he 1s so often allured into intoxication that he consequently suf- fers the same penalty as the criminal. Is it right that one whose only weakness is in overstepping his capacity for drink should be thrown with the infamous and those devoid of character? Has it ever been known to reform or better any such person? I don’t see how it could. It is, most undoubtedly, the worse for them. I mos emphatically recommend, with many other sufferers of the same kind, that such an asylum be provided as soon as possible. D. H. a 4 cans standard tomatoes, 25c. Johnston’s. —Advertisement.
