 Massachusetts

Portland. Me. October 1e.-An order directing that the North German Lloyd steamship Kronpressin Cecille. now at Bar Harbor. be transferred lat once to the district of Massachusetts was issued in the federal court today. The reason given for the removal is that 1t Is not safe for the ship to remain at her present anchorage on account of the ice.
 United States Marshal Wilson of this district was ordered to provide the necessary convoy. and 1t is understood that at least one torpedo boat will be employed for this service. As far as possible the vessel will be kept within the three-mile limit. but 1t is not be- iieved this can be done for the entire vcyage to Boston.
 The libel for $1,o4o,0oo which has teen filed against the steamship by the Guarantee Trust company of New York has been withdrawn on account of the change of jurisdiction but an- other has been brought in Massachu- setts and will be filed as soon as she reaches Massachusetts waters.

Honolulu, october 16.-All present anx- iety for British and Japanese shipping in these waters has been removed by the announcement that the German gunboat Geier. which arrived yesterday from Tsingtau, will remain here indefinitely receiving repairs to her engines.
 That the Geier does not intend to interne is indicated by the fact that she continued to coal today.
 Washington, October Recommending on later reports from Honolulu that the Geler would remain indefinitely in the harbor undergoing engine repairs, officials here called attention to provisions of The Hague convention which limit the re- pairs belligerent warships may make in neutral ports to such as are absolutely necessary to render them seaworthy.' Port authorities shall determine the amount of repair work necessary and 1t must be completed as quickly as possible. The belligerent warShip must leave port as soon as the authorities pronounce her sea worthy.
 If the Geier intends to make repairs. a United States naval officer probably will be asked by the officer of the port at Honolulu to examine her engines and say what repairs are necessary. The ship

WAR TAX BILL READY
 FOR HOUSE HONDA Y

Washington, October 16-Congress had so nearly completed it's work for the session today that adjournment by the riddle of next week seemed practically assured. An agreement reached in the Senate to vote on the war tax bill and all amendments before adjournment to- morrow night means the measure will be ready for the House Monday. Ad- r.inistration leaders expect conference agreement in day or two thereafter and prompt approval of the report by both houses.
 Senators from southern states who have threatened to delay action. agreed to the proposal to vote tomorrow because it would record their votes on the amend ment providing for the issue of 50000. 900 in government 4 per cent bonds for the purchase of cotton. They would not con cede tonight that the amendment would be defeated but the prevailing sentiment is that 1t will fall short of the necessary votes.
 Settle Disputes
 All disputed features of the war tax bill were settled by the Senate today except the cotton amendment. Increased tax on tobacco dealers and the wine tax as finally agreed to by the finance com plittee were among sections agreed to.
 Senator Williams of Mississippi pro- posed to strike out of the cotton amend mept the sections to provide a tax on next years crop in excess of 50 per cent ef this years production and that the rroposed tax on the 1917 crop to make good any possible deficit that might ac- crue to the government from the pur-

 In the House Representative Henry Of Texas continued his insistence that the war revenue bill would not pass that body without the presence of quorum unless some action was taken to relieve the cotton situation House leaders in- sisted quorum would be present next week to transact necessary business
 Mann Is Applauded

The market would not absorb all of the cotton. oven if it were given away, ho said, adding that the situation demanded Il remedy but that. the appropriations so far made had some defect.
 Representative Glass of Virginia op- posed any plan of federal financial aid for cotton growers.
 The Secretary of the Treasury has gone the limit said Mir Glass, land some say he has gone beyond the limit, in making deposits with southern banks. We of the south who have been de- claring for the Jeffersonian doctrine of equal rights to all and special privileges to none, oppose this proposition of tax ing all the people of the United States for single commodity of a single sec ton"
