the main ground upon which It was de-
clared unconstitutional wu that It con-
stituted a direct tax. Coder the constitu-
tion direct taxes ran not be laid except
they be apportioned among the State
according; to population. The decision
was rendered by a divided court only
five of the nine judges deciding against
the law. One of these judges who voted
I in the negative is resorted to have
chanced his mind over night the first
-lineup indicating that the law would be
sustained. However no corruption was
ver traced to this fact.
; PROVINCE OF THE COt'RT.
Since that decision no attempt has
ever been mads to enforce the law. In
the minds of those who hold after the
Marshall decision that the supreme court
has the power to declare void an act
ef congress the law is a dead letter.
Many of the loading lawyers of con-
gitjsii. however hold differently. Among
these la Senator Culberson. He holds
that the supreme court can only decide
Issues of law In such particular cases as
are brought before It. but that such
decisions should not tie assumed to con-
stitute a veto power over tha acts of
Congressmen Morris Phepperd of Texas
holds thai view also and at the last ses-
sion of congress offered a bill Instructing
: the treasury department to enforce the
Income tax
DOES NOT REGARD LAW DEAD.
. Sir. Shepperd dees not regard the law
Itself a dead letter the decision of the
supreme court merely meaning that It was
not enforcabie at that time In that pax-
i ttcular case. Mr. Shepperd assumed that
the officers might now resume their at-
tempt to enforce the old law and that
there would be no recourse for those af-
Secte except to appeal to the supreme
aiirt i again.' Should this happen it la
pointed out as altogether likely the court
would at this time reverse its former de-
cision and hold the law valid.
The personnel of the court has greatly
changed since the decision eleven years
ago. It Is general! believed the present
; bench comprising two Rooseveltian ap-
pointees. Holmes and Moody would sus-
tain the law In another case or when the
same principle arises under a new en-

Mr. Garner proposes to make his bill
Include a lax on all Incomes great and
small. This be thinks will obviate the
objection urged against the old law- that
It was class legislation. The question of
direct tax can not be overcome except by

HAINS UNDER FIRE
BEFEVSE'S CASE BADLY TO EH
TJ5TDEE CROSS EXAMINATION.
Witness Became Confused Under
Proscntion's Interrogations and
Forgot Previous Testimony.
(Assoeiotti Prtsi Rtport.)
FLUSHING N. Y. January 5. New
light was thrown on the relationship of
William E. Annls and Mrs. Claudia Hains
In the trial of Thornton J. Hains today
when the defendanL under examination
declared that several years ago In Mar-
ble Head. Mass.. he became aware that
Annis and Mrs. Hains had stopped at
the same hotel. Questioned by Justice
Crane. Thornton Hains said he never
spoke of the relations between Mrs. Hains
and Annls to Captain Hains and had re-
mained silent on the matter urflll last
spring.
The fabric of the defense's case was
badly torn when Thornton Hains. under
sharp cross-examination by the State's
attorney made many damaging admis-
sions. His Jauftty manner quickly dis-
appeared under the fire of the prosecu-
tion's Interrogations and several times
he admitted that he could not remember
the minor details of the same testimony
he had given yesterday. Once In a plain-
tive voice Hains said:
"I can't remember. I never was so
tired in my life. I have been In prison
five months and I'm worn out."
Thornton Halna could not say when
at the Waldorf on August 16. on his
way to Bayslde why he had not stepped
across the street to Jepersan's Office to
find out where he was. Instead of going
to the yacht club with only an impres-
sion that Jeperson might have been
there.. The defendant said that he did
not know whether Captain Hains had
time enough to buy a revolver when he
fell behind Weaver and himself an the
walk up Broadway on August IS.
The cross-examination of the defend-
ant was still in progress when court
adjourned until tomorrow when the de-
fendant will be questioned about the
shooting at the Bayslde Yacht club.
The defendant stated that he had a two
hours' conversation with Captain Hains
at Fort Hamilton the day Mrs. Hains
confessed but other than some discon-
nected utterances he could not recall
what was said by his brother.
The defendant said that the morning
following the confession Captain Hains
slept late as he. the defendant had given
him an ejLlpa heavy dose of sleeping medi-
cine fearing he would wake up early and
gs te the fort and find Annls there.
"Why were you afraid to have the cap-
tain meet Annls?"
"His brain was so shattered that I did
not know what he might do. I was afraid
he might go Insane. I did not fear that
he would hurt Annis."
Thornton Hains said he went with Cap-
tain Hains to the fort that dav and found
Mrs. Hains lytng on a sofa without much
attire and evidently undr the influence
of liquor. Witness said he had seen Mrs.
Hains under the influence of liquor at her
home In Wlnthrop Mass. and at Marble
Head.
Th defendant said:
"She was moaning 'Oh. somebody kill
me. I have mined my home and dis-
graced my children.' I told the general to
take Peter away and call a physician."
The defendant said that he and Weaver
organised a company of volunteers at the
opening of the Spanish-American war.
He said that he only met Mr. Weaver
twice' liu'lMtS In July when they talked
about motor boats and conc rete houses.
The defendant said that he had written
tils brother several letters while he was
In the West and that he had Informed
him that his wife was away no one knew
where and the children had nothing to
eat
"Did you write this If you have red
blood In your veins your blood will boil
when I tell you this"?"
Objection to this question was sustained
and District Attorney Darrlo called upon
Mr. Mrlntyre to produce the letters of the
defendant. Mr. Mrlntyre said he did not
feave them and Justice Crane ruled that
the were not admissible evidence' even
4H U counsel bad them. . . r

Plans to Reconstruct Beggio and

(Associated Pttst Report.)
RjOME. January 5. Plan for th re-
building of Reggio and Messina already
are being discussed In detail but espe-
cially with regard to the latter place
which Is the second city of Sicily. It is
estimated that about 16.0000 will suf-
lice to rebuild Messina for 10008 inhabi-
tants making It a cqmmerclal and mari-
time center. It will take about tS.0S0.Otn
to rebuild Reggie for 26000 people. In
any event many year must elapse before
the thoroughly terrorised people can be
Induced to return to live In the stricken
territory.
It has been decided to reconvene the
Italian parliament on Friday or Satur-
day of this week to consider remedies
and measures to cope with the existing
situation. A bill will be presented set-
ting forth that all people who were In
the suicken cities and towns who have
not been found at the erpiratkm of three
months shall be considered dead.
The pope today visited the wounded In
