(ANGFORD WALLOPS FLYN| Colored Fighter Trims Pueblo Fire- man in Eight Easy Rounds. BEATING 18 A TERRIBLE ONE Moston M, Puts Big Jim on Mat Bleeding Profusely and Badly Brulsed—Was Scheduled for' 45 Rounds, LOS ANGBLES, Cal, March 18.—Sam | Langford, Boston's well known colored fighter, did away with Jim Flynn, the Pu- €blo fireman, In the last half of the elghth | round of a fight that whs scheduted to go | forty-five rounds, at the old Jeffries arena here yesterday. 1 The knockout was.not a clean one, the | uppercut which Langford dellvered with his left hand merely accelerating Flynn's fall | after he had missed a right swing at Lang- | ford's Jaw and lost his balance. Flynn fell | prone on the mat with his arms extended and dislocated his jaw Referee Charles Ryton counted the fire- | man out before Flynn's seconds were ablp | to realize what had happened, and the badly punished fighter, staggering to his feet, made feeble efforts to fight again, though the opponent he saw through his half-shut eyes was Imaginary. His chances of winning were dimmed In the first round whon Langford, breaking away from the first clinch, dellvered a right swing to the tireman’s left cheek. The blow opened a gash and started the vlood flowing. Before the first round was ended Lang- ford again found Flynn's face with his *right and on the almost continuous clinches | he frequently brought both gloves to| Flynn's face and neck. Flynn B ¥ Battere With his face cut and swollen, bleeding | from the nose and mouth and apparently | weakened in body and spirit by the territic blows of the colored fighter, Flynn fought through six more rounds and came up for the elghth still determined to keep the col- ored man close to him. In the first seven tounds he had prevented the colored fighter from setting himself for a final knookout by olosing in whenever he found Mls arms free and butting his head up against his opponent's chin. He could not do that now ~Langford had him at his mercy and kept him off with jabs to the face and swings with left and right to the body. When the round was half over Langford leaped backward from a clinch and started his right to Fiynn's jaw. Flynn launched @ swing with his right, but it failed to find the mark and his body followed. Lang- ford's left hand shot to Flynn's jaw, but it was more from his own momentum than from Langford’s blow that Flynn went down. In the third round Flynn had fallen to his knees In much the same way when Langford sidestepped a right swing. Flynn was down for seven seconds. ’ AMONG THE LOCAL BOWLERS Hxcelslors Win Two Games from Te Be Ce’s on Basement Alleys Atter Contest.

Uni- | CORPORATION TAX IN COURT | Arguments Are Being Heard on Both | Side of Payne Tariff Aot. |VALIDITY OF IAW ATTACKED | Maxwell Evarts Declares Provision Arbitrary and Oppressive Deenuse it Takes Froperty Wi out Compens: WASHINGTON, March 18~For four | hours yesterday the supreme court of the United States listened to conflicting argu- ments on the constitutionality of the cor poration tax provisions of the Payn | Aldrich tariff aot. After another day's argument the court will take the statute arriving at a decision. Constitutional lawyers from varlous | 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 | tha hearing. In cach of these suits stock- holders or policyholders had brought action to prevent corporations from paying the tax. Without exception the lower courts | hela the tax constitutional and dismissed the sulits. The Home Life Insurance company nd 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 powers 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 H. Willlams 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 Up. Fifteen cases Involving the validity of the tax have been brought to the court for final judgment. All were advanced for an early hearing and were consolidated. In all the sults, except one, stockholders brought the action in the lower federal courts in various parts of the country to enjoln the corporation In which they held stock from paying the tax in conformity with the law. In the uther case policy holders ot the New York Life Insurance company brought sult. 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 soverelgnty of a state. Ho sald the tax was arbitrary and op- pressive and in violation of the fifth amendment of the constitution. His third attack was qn the publicity feature of the law, which, he said, had nothing to do with taxation. “When the return is made and the tax ascertained thereby and possibly the tax paid,” sald Mr. Evarts, “the return fs made a public record, open to Inspection By what power of congress ls that done”| Perhaps it {s a part of a general scheme of regulation of corporations. But, I ask, where 1s the power?" Justice Lurfon wanted to know what section of the constitution he claimed was violated thereby. Mr. Evarts said it was that section which prohibited the taking [of private property for public purposes without compensation. Calls Law Unconstitutional. E. O, Brown argued that the law was unconstitutional as applid 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 trusts| Solicitor General Bowers began his argu- ment in defense of the law about halt 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 meroly 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 sald some 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 busl- ness will be much higher than in dull times, though the size of the plant with which the business done remains the same."
