CUP CHALLENGER ARRIVES.
ENDS LONG OCEAN JOURNEY
Lipton's Shamrock " Will Lay Up
on This Side for Winter-No
Race Until Next Year.

NEW YORK, August 17.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's Shamrock ", challenger for the
Americas cup. ended her long trans
Atlantic journey last night, reaching
New York harbor shortly before mid
night. The Shamrock came in under
tow of Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht
Erin. The cup yacht Is on this side Of
the water to be laid up for the winter
Meanwhile the European war had
broken out. and the Shamrock lay in
harbor at Bermuda while the New York
Yacht Club, holders of the Americas cup,
were deciding that because of the Eu-
ropean conflicts the races should be put
over until next year.
With that decision made the Sham
rock and her convoy put out from Ber-
muda Thursday last for New York. A
wireless message from the Erin while the
two craft were still some distance out
side Sandy Hook said they would put
in at a late hour and remain down the
bay overnight.
All on board were reported well.
Sailing master and crew were greatly
disappointed because the cup yacht races
would not be sailed this year. They in
sisted that the Shamrock was in excel
lent shape to give a good account of
herself.
1t is understood that Sir Thomas yacht
Erin, which conveyed the Shamrock, sent
a wireless message today to the German
thanking the station for Its unwilling
assistance in enabling the Shamrock to
dodge German war craft. By picking
up messages intended for German cruis-
ers the Erin was warned Of their prox-
unity.

Say Tax Levy Is Necessary.

Members of the ways and means COM
mittee Of the House declare that the ad-
ditional tax in some form must be levied,
and that the proposition to delay passing
the bill is shortsighted. Many democrats
have said that it would be political folly
for the democratic party to pass an add
ed tax law just before primaries and cleo
tions, and have pointed out that there Is
$780, 600 surplus in the Treasury.
On the other hand, some Of the men,
bers Of the ways and means committee
are now of the opinion that the easiest
time to pass a tax bill which would find
favor with the people of the country is
right now. when talk on the European
war and its effect is on the lips Of every
one.
IF we wait until after the primaries, or
until after election said one Of them,
1.-The war may be over. It will be thing
of the past SO far as the talk of the
people go; but the effects of the war per-
haps will have just started. While men
will have forgotten the battles, there will
be no commerce coming our way for a
long time to come. We will need the in
ternal revenue, but the country will de-
nounce us for passing tax on account
OF a war that has been fought and for
gotten.
I'VE assuredly will have to pass this
tax bill, SO now is the time to pass it.

DIRECT LAND TAX
TO RAISE REVENUE
Plan to Meet Deficit in U. S.
Customs Receipts Caused
by War.

A direct land tax is advocated by Rep
resentative Warren Worth Bailey Of
Pennsylvania as method of raising
money to met the deficit which the Eu-
ropean war will produce in American
customs receipts.
As opposed to a direct tax and also
to an indirect tax on beer, several mem
bers Of the House are advocating tax
on tea and coffee. The single takers. in
Guiding Representative Bailey. declare
such thing would be an outrage, and
the merry war goes on. Meantime, the
ways and means committee, which will
have the work Of preparing an extra
war tax measure. is getting the bill
ready.
Mr.. Bailey Explains.
Representative Bailey explains his di-
rect land tax views in these words:
THE democratic party is bound to
prevent extravagant expenditures. II We
must have q war tax, why should it be
put upon industry? A stamp tax upon
tea or coffee, for example would be a
step backward. II Great Britain can re-
sort to a land value tax to maintain her
two-power standard, surely we can do
the same in this emergency.
"Ihere Is lnfS advantage ABOUT b iaiIu
tax: it will stay where 1t is put, while
an indirect tax upon industry can be
shifted to the consumer, and usually is
SO shifted. A land tax would not tend
to reduce wages. as the other would. On
the contrary, it would stimulate activ-
ity in every line of human endeavor
The Constitution opens a way for land
tax. 1t is necessary only that it be ap-
portioned among the states. Indirect
taxation is a curse. 1t makes for ex-
travagance and corruption.
Leader Underwood and those acting
in concert with him should ask them
selves how the country would receive a
war tax proposition. An increased tax
on beer would tend to drive men to drink
ing whisky and that effect would be de-
moralizing. To put tax on tea and
coffee. which always have been free would
insure defeat for the democratic party.
The land value tax is growing in favor
the world over"

PARIS, March 9.-The title Of worlds champion woman boxer IS claimed by Mile. Marthee Carpenter, who today announced her willingness to meet all corners. She is a good looking French brunette, IS years of age, weighs 127 pounds, and is 3 feet 8 inches in height. Mile. Carpen- tier, who is in no way related to the French champion of the same name who has twice defeated Bombarder Wells, has been trained by NJ. Albany, an expert boxing and jiu-jitsu in structor, for the past six months. In the mornings she helps her mother in a little grocery shop in the Ternes quarter of Paris, and devotes her a> ternoons to her boxing lessons and general training exercises.
 T have always been fond of sports she said today, and I don't see why boxing should be forbidden by my sex. So long as brutality is prohibited, don't see why a few rounds with the gloves occasionally shouldn't be ben efcial to any young woman. I know it does me good. It is apt, of course, to spoil a woman's beauty, but bruises do not last forever. Before I took lessons in boxing I was very nervous and irritable an t:mid. I would not have ventured into a crowd for any thing. Now l am not arra1d to go any where."

THE VOICE OF A CHILD.
How One of the Worlds Greatest Song
 Birds Was Discovered.

Many years ago maid employed by Miss Lundberg, famous dancer of the Royal Opera in Stockholm. was given a holiday by her mistress and set out to take walk. Passing a shabby little house in the poorest section of the city she heard child's voice, which seem ed to her wonderfully fresh and beauti- full, and, looking up, she saw little girl sitting near the window singing to a pet kitten. In great excitement she rushed to her mistress and told her of the exquisite voice she had heard.
 Miss Lundberg was somewhat skep- 'tical, but finally went to the house and heard the sweet song. She. too, was convinced of the great natural beauty of the child's voice and reported it to Croelius. the singing master of the opera.
 Croeiug was also somewhat skepti- cal at first, but at Miss Lundbergs re- quest he. too, went and. standing on the sidewalk. heard the child sing.
 Enraptured in turn, he told Count Buke. manager of the Royal opera, and arrangements were made by which the little girl sang for the count.
 She was at once taken as free pupil in the Royal Opera school and there after received the best instruction Swe- den could give. The child was Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish Nightin- le."-Ladies' Home Journal.
