GERMAN TAXES ARE RAISED
Increases on Beer, Tobacco, Brandy,
and Higher Import Duties.
IS PASSED BY THE REICHsTAG
Resolution Is Adopted Providing for
Taxation of "Unearned Incre-
ment In Land VAIues' by
April 1. 1911.

BERLIN. July lO.-The Reichstag fin
ished the finance reform legislation this
evening. II is eight months since the meas
ures were first introduced. bur the varf-
GUS bills have been so remodeled Nand SO
many substitutes have peen made that the
completed legislation resembles but little
the governments original proposals.
The scheme finally adopted consists Of
higher taxes on beer, tobacco and brandy;
higher duties on coffee effervescent wines,
cordials and tea The duty on tea has been
quadruped The house also adopted
stamp tax on check stubs, for the renewal
of dividends ana coupon sheets, as well as
a higher stamp tax for issues OF new stocks
and bonds, which will affect foreign securi-
ties. A tax on transfers of real estate was
also adopted, with a resolution requiring
that a bill be introduced by April 1, 1911 for
taxing the unearned increment in land
values.
The national liberals radicals and social
lists voted against ell the bills.
Dr. Won Bethmann-H Hollwegs secretary of
the Imperial Home office and vice chancel-
lor. speaking in the Reichstag today in be-
half of the federal council. said the fed
Grated government had accepted the finan-
cial bill as amended, but that the majority
Of the notifications were accepted only be-
cause In the amount are funds necessary for
putting the finances OF the empire in or
der so that national business could be car
ried on out OF the revenues rather than by
promises on the future. The vice chancel-
lor's declaration was applauded by the ma
jority. which is composed Of clericals, con-
servatiyes and Poles.
DR.. Won Neydebrand. the leader Of the
conservatives, denied his party intended to
overthrow Prince Won Bueow on the con-
trary. II regretted the chancellor's with
drawal.
Referring to the inheritance tax, Dr. Won
Neydebrand said the conservatives voted
against II because they were unwilling to
commit the property interests Of the coun-
try to a Reichstag elected by universal
suffrage, and he declared that Prince Won
Buelow's policy in excluding the clericals
was a political mistake which the con-
servatives regretted in the interests OF
UNCONVENTIONAL peace.
More Light on Won BueIOw.
MUNICH, Bavaria, July 10-The Sued
deutsche Reichschorrespondz today prints
an inspired Berlin dispatch giving Prince
Won Buelow's reasons for resigning as inn
perial chancellor. II was not only the re-
lection Of the inheritance tax by the con-
servatives. the dispatch says, but the new
grouping Of parties in the Reichstag which
made 1t impossible for him to remain in
office. 1t was impossible for the prince
to rule with a majority In which the
clertcals predominated and his political
convictions and honor prevented him from
yielding to such compulsiOns. The con-
servatiVes knew their votes against the
Inheritance tax would cause his Tesigna-
tion because he positively informed them
20 that effect. the dispatch concludes

the Indian student who on July shot
and killed Lieutenant Colonel Sir William
Hutt Cuzon Wyfie and ,Dr Canvas Lal-
cacs. was today committed for trial at the
Old Bailey for murder The police court
proceedings lasted the whole day.
The prosecution placed before the court
documents containing the prisoners hand
writing. which seemed to show conclusively
that the crime was long premeditated, and
was in revenge for alleged wrongs.
Justifies HIS Deed.
The prisoner in a brief statement said:
IT do not wish to say anything in de-
fense of myself, but simply to prove the
Justice of my deed. AS for myself / do
not think an English law court has any
authority to arrest and detain me in prison,
or to pass on me a sentence Of death.
That is the reason why l have not en-
ployed counsel. maintain that II 1t is
patriotic for Englishmen to fight against
the Germans IL they occupy this country.

Responsible for the murder Of Soo00, 900 OF

and that they are also responsible FOR the
taking from India of fl0O. 900 every year
~ also hold that they are responsible
for the hanging and deportation Of my pa
triotlc countrymen who do just what the
English here are advising their country
men to do. II the Germans have no right
to occupy this country, then the English
have no right to occupy India, and It 1:

II make this statement not for the pur

THE MoNGOLlAN AT HALIFAX,
 HER FoREPEAK FULL OF WATER
Passengers Tell Stories of Their Ex- citing Ice Bondage of St. Johns.

Halifax, N. S., May 23-With her forepeak full of water, one of the blades of her propeller smashed and with the paint torn from her bows and sides, the Allan line steamer Mongoli- an, from Glasgow and Liverpool for this port and Philadelphia. arrived here today with the story of her excit~ ing ice e-bondage of three days off St. Johns, N. F. These injuries are slight when 1t Is taken into consideration that during these three days hundreds of tons of ice were buffeting and press ing upon the steamer from all sides. Each of the hundred passengers to- night certified to the good discipline of Captain Hall and his crew. While the passengers at times were greatly alarmed, and at one time were prepared to leave the ship and venture across the ice, nothing approaching disorder was at any time manifested.
 The Mongolian today carried one passenger who had not stayed aboard voluntarily, w C.. Job, merchant of St. Johns. N. F.. who had crossed the ice from that place to the steamer, so that he might meet his wife and child, who were passengers aboard Condi- tions after his arrival, however, be- came so bad that it was deemed inad- visable to attempt to return over the same route. and Mir. Job was obliged to remain on the steamer.

CHANGES IN THE ANDEMs.
"Backer" Larowe RepIaced-Third- sacker Johnson Goes to Webster Hi Henry Resting Up..
(special to The Bulletin. )

Backer Larowe, who opened the sea- son as catcher for the Andem baseball club of North Grosevnordale, has been released. MT. Larowe is a veteran in the game. His place is given to a much younger man who resides in North Grosvenordale; his name is AL ma Blanchette, but members of the club call him "Pete," after his brother. the one-legged catcher, who was a great attraction for the club in his day. His many friends wish him ev- cry success.
 George Johnson, the crack third sacker, is about to leave the Andems. MT. McManus, the manager of the Sla- ter A C., Webster, Mass, is right after Johnson with a big hook and line, and the big bait on the hook is very tempting. Johnson has all the earmarks of a conner; he will surely meet with great success with the Webster fans.
 W. l.. Henry of Hanover Conn, the pitcher of the Andems, has been laid of, due to a slight injury to his back. Hi Henry has the reputation of hav- ing fourteen strike outs and allowing 3 hits against the Norwich Taftvilles, the champions of the league. This young giant will some day meet with faster company if properly coached with a good catcher who would take an interest in his welfare.

Langford Lands Knockout in Fourth
English Champion Made Poor Showing -Bantamweights Stanley and Walsh Draw-Detroit Increases Lead Academy Plays Bulkeley this Afternoon.

London. May 24.-Sam Langford, the colored heavyweight, of Boston, knock ed out Ian Hague, the heavyweight champions of England, in the fourth round at the National Sporting club here tonight. The fight, which was for purse of $9.000, was scheduled to go twenty rounds.
 Langford was at a disadvantage as regards weight. height and reach, but his superior knowledge of ring tactics and his quickness overcame this, and what was expected to be a long contest proved to be very brief one.
 Closed the Black Mans Eye.
 Langford had a shade the better of the first round until the end, when Hague reached him with hook to the jaw. This seemed to encourage the Britisher and though no damage was done in the second round he showed more cleverness than the colored man. Langford opened the third round with hard left to the face and he used this blow effectively several times before the gong sounded. Hague, however, partially closed the Americans eye with a hard right swing.
 The men came together in a fast mixup at the opening of the fourth, and Langford put a terrific right on the Yorkshireman's chin which ended the contest.
 A record crowd saw the fight and the American was a warm favorite, considerable money being bet at 20 to and 50 to 2 on him to win.
 5antamweights Go to Draw.
 The bout between Jimmy Walsh, the American fighter. and Digger Stanley of London for the bantamweight championship of England was declared a draw. The fight went the full fifteen rounds. The purse was S1,750.
