Washington, Aug. 6.—The war tax bill, finally revised to meet latest es- timates, was favorably reported today by the senate flnance committee. It = proposds to raise 2,006,970,000 by taxation. The majority report was submitted by Chairman Simmons, who explained that the committee’s revision of the house bill was on the principle of raising revenues with the least burden 4 upon the public. A substitute report with a substitute bill {s expected from Senator LaFollette. Senators Gore and Thomas also plan a sepa- rate report. Senator Simmons’ report stated that a flexible scientific war tax su- perstructure had been constructed by the senate committee for the imposi- tion of war taxes—the largest tax budget in American history—as well as for future tax increases declared probable. Income, war profits, liquor and to- bacco tax increases, the majority re- port pointed out, form the nucleus of the revised bill. % Meets Present and Future. In a general statement for the com- mittee, Senator Simmons sald: “It has at all stages acted with a keen sense of the extreme impor- tance of its action in its effect upon the country and the successful prose- cution of the war. Nor was it un- mindful that those who will have to pay these exactions will also have to furnish the larger part of the money to purchase the bonds for ex- penditures not provided for by tax- < ation and also as we may be called upon to loan to foreign governments engaged with us in war against Ger- many. “Your committee was profoundly impressed with the expediency and necessity of broadening and develop- ing our system of special taxation so as to present a scientific scheme, log- ically constructed; to provide a su- perstructure sufficiently strong and flexible to meet not only our present but our future war needs, and so adjusted as to distribute equitably the necessary burdens of taxation and safeguard the activities of the nation by imposing no tax which would not leave the taxpayer a reasonably com- pensatory return from his investment. “The ba of the system proposed “y your committee is the income and war profits tax internal revenue taxes upon whiskey and tobacco, and certain moderate subsidiary levies in the nature of excise taxes. The sys- tem presented is In form much the same as that in the house, but it has, it is believed, been systematized, co-ordinated and made more consis- tent. ““As the result of these changes it is estimated that about two-thirds of the additional revenue expected wili come from the income and war profits taxes. In fixing the rates upon in- comes and excess profits your com- mittee kept constantly in mind the fact that the amount of revenue de- rived from these sources would de- pend upon the prosperity and activity , of business and that to impose taxes “ \which would tend to discourage en- terprise and dampen these activities would tend to defeat the legislative purpose. Moreover, it thought that if the rates upon incomes and excess profits were fixed at the highest level there might he but little margin left . for further increases in rates.” Defends Elimination of Surtaxes. The report defends the elimination of the so-called Lenroot surtaxes on fncomes of over $40,000 added in the house, designed to raise $66,000,000 as follow: “In view of the fact that in ad- dition to the large Increase in the normal tax and surtixes upon incomes, » the bill provides for a large increase in the war profits tax of corporations and partnerships and Includes in- dividuals in the scope of that tax, and in view of the probability that ft will PAGE PRAISING KAISER TO BE RIPPED OUT OF CHICAGO SCHOOL SPELLER Chicago, Aug. 6.—The page in the Chijcago public school speller which eulogizes Emper- or Willam of Germanw prob- ably will be in the book when school opens in September, it having been found impossible to prepare a new one in time as had been ordered. A movement has been started to designate an hour on the opening day of school for the children to tear out the leaf containing the eulogy, and Anthony Czarneckl of the board of education announced today that when the board meets to- morrow he will introduce a resolution providing for elimi- nation of the page. BITTER ATTACK ON FOOD CONTROL BILL Senator Reed Continues' Criticism of Conference Committee’s Report. ‘Washington, Aug. 6.—Consideration of the conference report on the food control bill was resumed in the senate today with a bitter fight ahead, led by Senator Reed against its acceptance. Administration leaders, however, hope to put the legislation through by Wed- nesday and have it ready for Presi- dent Wilson's signature before the end of the week. Senator Reed continued the attack on the measure which he began Sat- urday. Senator Reed began with another attack on Herbert C. Hoover and on the men selected by Mr. Hoover to assist him. Appointments of 13 agents to take charge of the 13 terminal grain markets had been made, he sald, “without authority of law,” several of whom are English- men. One man, Senator Reed charged. is an American bankrupt who went through a British bankruptcy court and Mr. Hoover planned to hand over control of grain exports “to a gen- tleman who has not lived in this country in a score of years,” the sen- ator declared. “I am reliably in- formed,” he continued, *“that the plan is to.circumscribe the shipments of grain from Galveston, New Orleans and other southern ports and divert. them into the port of New York. The excuse has been given that it will save hazarding of this grain on the ocean.” As soon as the food control bill is disposed of, the senate will take up the conference report on the first food bill providing for a food survey and stimulation of production. A congressional recess in September is the goal towards which the leaders now are ‘working. Before taking a va- cation, however, congress must clean up important pending legislation. The house already has cleared its slate of war legislation and is wait- ing for the senate to act. The most important of these measures are the conference reports on the food bills and the war tax bill. In addition, some minor legislation may be taken up by the senate afterwards. Meantime, the house will take a series of three day recesses, the first of ‘which will begin tomorrow. Congress will take a recess of at least six weeks, according to present plans.

Humason Writes of { Depression Among the Soldiers BUT STILL DETERMINED Officers Expect War to End By Christ- mas But Men in Trenches Say Next July—Boy Crics on Being Orlered Back to Front, France depressed but determined, is ‘the picture painteq by Howard C. Humason of Vine street, this city, in a letter recetved by a local friend. Mr. Humason is connected with a trans- port camion whose duts - ply the front line n-ong'h:. ‘;1:: G nitions. The salety of the French sol- dier has disappeared, Mr. Humason ‘writes, but he is still confident of vic- tory and the man in the trenches ex- pects the war to end by next July. Mr. Humason’s letter, in part, fol- low: “I haven't regretted a minute that I switched over to this service from the ambulance although the work is con- siderably harder and there is little glory to it. We never know when we are to be calied out or where we are golng when we start. Sometimes we are aroused at 8 a. m. and get back at 4 D. m. or later or sometimes it is Just turned around. When such is the case we are generally sure of seeing action, as a night drive means am- munition to the front line batteries. All driving is done without any lights Whatever, which isn’t exactly pleasant but is necessary unless you desire a Boche shell to land nearby. “We got our first view of a shell- swept town yvesterday on a trip we made with some barbed wire and lum- ber for trench defenses. There were a few walls left standing but these were picrced through and through and brought home more vividly than anything yet the horrors of war. The village was for some time a bone of contention and was battered succes- sively by both the French and the Boche. Tt is now in French hands for good and the line of battle has moved onward several miles, “T have talked with a number of the Poilus while at the loading or unlond- ing stations and it is aiways the same old story. All tell of a smaH bhut growing buginess, a wife and onc or more ohildren given up to go to work for flve cents a day. Saw 600 Companious Killed. “I talked with one yvoung boy the other might at a park where the French shells and Boche shells were whizzing back and forth and heard a story which is fortunately far from usual but nonc the less unpleasant. He was but 19 and belonged to a regiment which had been fairly lucky until a week ago when the Boche made an unsuspected attack and of the 760 men with him at the start there were bharely over one hundred when the fight ended; most of his particular friends were among the missing. Hc was just returning from a ‘repos’ of four days and actually broke down and cried when he said he had to go back to the trenches the next morning. It isn't the fear of be- ing killed or wounded as both of these mean a blessing now. It is going back to the same old grind of living In holes with dirty mud and hearing a steady boom, boom of guns without cessation. After a story of that kind one stops kicking about the food we get, sleeping quarters, ete. and thanks the Lord he is fixed like he is. “l have read in books of the cheery, optimistic appearance of tha French soldier but have seen little or none. That may have been the case when the books were written three vears ago, but three years of war has killed most of the cheerfulness. They all, however, have no doubt as to the eventual outcome. We pass every ‘day troops returning from the front. Give them a cigarette and they will logk at it like a thing unknown and give you a heartfelt ‘mercl’. Wave and one or two may return it but a smile land a cheery ‘bon jour’ are practical- 1y unknown. “Ask an officer, who has a dompar- atively soft berth back of the line in a loading park, when the war will be over and he will say by Christmas. Ask one of the men at the front and he will tell you by next July—per- haps. They all agree on one point, howeveor, and that is if Russia had not failed them the war would be over now. However, the ‘Bear’ seems to be awakening again so he may yet prove of belated service’. Later on in the letter, Mr. Humas ‘s he expects to be moved at { time and has heard a rumor the se | tion will be transferred to Dunkirk He says he would welcome the change as he would teel ncarer home on the shores of the Atlantic.

Shortly before midnight Ed. Blay- lock, an objector, was shot to death near Holdenville and two members of the posse which his band encountered were wounded. Later J. F. Moose of Oklahoma was shot and killed as he drove a motor car toward Holdenville. He appar- ently was unaware of conditions that had resulted in a cordon of armed citizens being thrown around the town. He was killed when he did not heed or hear an order to stop. More than 200 members of the var- ious bands, mostly of the poor tenant farmer class, with a number of negroes and a few Indians, had been placed under arrest today and it wag said from the bhase of operations at Saskakawa. Seminole county, that with the exception of two bands, ono comparatively strong, it was believed the section had been cleared of or- ganizations .of the malcontents. Three Leaders Still at Large. Among the resisters captured are said to be several of the leaders, while at least three of the men held re- sponsible for spreading the propagan- da with the mythical promises that resulted in the upris are believed to be still at larse. < indicated that there names are known and of- ficials expressed the helief t with their capture the outbreak will be put down completely. Three men have been killed In four days of guerilla warfare and hundreds of men have stalked each other through the rough and timbered county. Wallace Cargill, an aged leader of the objectors was killed Fri- [ day. Full blooded Indians, many ot whom at first were reported among the government enemies, have ren- dered valuable assistance in hunting resisters, following trails impossible for white men to trace. Although many of the farmers who took to the warpath have sent word they were ready to surrender, officialy sald several of those still at large are among the more dangerous element. They expressed the belief that the uprising would soon be cnded. Plot a San Francisco. San Francisco, Aug 6.-—John L. Mec- Nab, chairman of an exemption board here, made public today a letter ad- dressed to United States District Attor- ney Preston, urging the latter to take officlal cognizance of what he alleged to be a concerted plan to hinder the progress of the selective draft. Mr. McNab, former United States district attorney, directed attention to certain affidavits presented in support of exemption claims. The affidavits, he said, were in similar form and in- dicated the existence of a plan to com- bat the draft. He stated that the board had refused to flle the papers, and by unanimous vote had decided that they be forwarded to the district attorney. “To tolerate such vicious utterances made under the guise of an exemption claim,” the letter said, ‘is to en- courage disloyalty and place a pre- mium upon treason.” Washington, Aug. 6 eral Gregory today began personal consideration of reports from dis- (rict attorneys in Oklahomu, North Carolina and other sections of the south as to the anti-draft demonstra- tions in their localities, with a view to taking whatever steps are sury Attorney Gen- Band of Resiste rrounded.

Hartford, Aug. 6.—Varied excuses for failure to register for the selective draft on June 5 were given by men who appeared before Judge Edwin 8. Thomas in the United States di trict court in special session today. Jail sentences ranging from one day to six months were imposed. Anthony Grasnitski of Bristol was given a sentence of six months in the Windham county jail.

The man said he had rather be in jail than fight for the United States. Me was born in Russia. Guiseppe Garcsio of Waterbury was sentenced to one month in the Tolland county jail. He did not believe in war. ‘William Zadrikis, arrested in Wa- terbury Aug. 1, came to this country from Poland. He was willing to register now he said. A sentence of two months, was imposed.

TWO KILLED WHEN AUTO HITS CYCLES Bennett U. Hibbard of Arch Street Driving Machine Which Runs Down Men in Branford. are dead and Bennett H. Hibbard of Arch street, this city, is being held by Branford authorities pending examination as a result of a fatal accident shortly after midnight Saturday night in which Hibbard’s automobile, and, the authorities be- lieve, an unknown automobile party, crashed into two bicyclists. The de: men are Pietro Mastiogracomo, of West Main street, Branford, stantly killed, and . Buonafedo Sal- vavari, 32, of 120 West Main street, Branford, who died of his injuries at the New Haven hospital early this morning. Deputy Coroner -Kenneth Wynne is conducting an investigation and the greater part of the morning was used in examining witnesses. At noon the hearing was continued un- til 3 o’clock this afternoon. According to the story told the au- thorities by the New Britaln young man, the two bicyclist were riding without lights and he could not dis- tinguish them as they suddenly turned in front of his machine at Branford center, at the junction of Bradley street. Hibbard claims that neither bicyclist carried a light, it was Mastiogracomo whom he ran into. Tnasmuch as the other bicyclist was hurled some 20 feet across the road- way the authorities are inclined to believe that a second automobile par- ty, speeding up from the rear, crashed into him and made good their escapc. Mr. Hibbard imme- diately stopped his machine, did all he could for the injured men, and at once notified Medical Examiner C. W. Gaylord. Mr. Hibbard is a son of the late Hibbard and is popular among the younger set here, being a promi- nent athlete at the High school. He has been visiting friends at the shore and was returning to his mother's summer home at Summer Island when the accident occurred. WATERBURY'S FIRST 24, Two men Arthur B.

It was due to Mrs. De Saulles’ de- votion to her son and the fear that the husband she had divorced on the ground of infidelity was planning to keep the child from her that she killed him, according to statements made public by her attorney. Following the statement given out v Henry A. Uterhardt, Mrs. De Saul- les’ lawyer, that De Saulles was a for- tune hunter, whose love cooled after he had used about half of his wife's fortune, C. M. Hecksher, a cousin of the murdered man, today made public a copy of a recent letter which he sald De Saulles had written his wife.
