The chief deputy will take charge of the Fifth North Carolina internal revenue district office in Asheville and act as collector until a successor to Melvin E. Carter, who died Sunday, is appointed by the president. The Olympic Club prize fight ruling in New Orleans ends.

Supreme Court reargument on income tax case crowds courtroom
Washington May 6 The reargument of the income tax case drew a full chamber as all nine justices sat with notable figures including Mesars Choate Bos tow Seward Guthrie Olney and McMillin in attendance. Guthrie urged a full hearing to settle whether Congress can tax income and personal property under direct taxes.
Government arguments on direct taxes and definitions in tax case
Mr. Guthrie closed his two hour and ten minute argument asserting that personal property is equivalent to taxes and thus direct taxes. Assistant Attorney General B B Whitney followed, noting the government would not add beyond its original brief on state and municipal bonds, and arguing new views on direct taxes may emerge upon re hearing with new evidence. Whitney discussed historical evidence, debates on taxation terminology, and distinguished direct taxes from duties and imposts, outlining the convention’s classifications and stressing two tax types. He spoke for an hour as the court complained of fatigue and adjournment was set for tomorrow.
