DEPREcATEs PURCHASE
 OF GERMAN SHIPS
Merchant Marine Committee Fears 1t Would Bring International Trouble.

Washington, Sept. s.-"Fears are ex- pressed that we will involve ourselves in complications with Great Britain and France if we buy German ships, says report of the merchant marine committee submitted to the house to- day advocating the Alexander bill for government-c company to purchase and operate ships.
 That may be so." the report con- tinues. This bill does not direct the shipping board to buy ships of any particular nation. They have the wid- est discretion in the purchase or con-
 strucdon of vessels. We have no doubt they will act otherwise than with the greatest care in whatever they do."
 adds, "has not only demoralized com much enterp-ising citizens and cor n1ands in the present emergency, they seem to be powerless to do so without government aid Hence the rational course is to utilize government re- sources to inure to the benefit of all the people.
 Rather than hazard the possibility Of a misunderstanding with one or more of the belligerents, some would have us make no effort to repair the damage done to our industries and commerce by the European war or to exercise any of the rights as neutral power. We have rights as neutrals as well as duties to be observed" The report declares the United States now has less than 100000 tons of shipping ir the foreign trade.

INDICATIONS OF LARGEST
 WHEAT CROP ON RECORD
But This is Regarded as Short Crop
 Year in Every Other Cereal.

Washington. Sept. S.-In wheat only will there be an excess in the coun- try's food crops which might be ex- ported to assist in paying off the na- don's European obligations, due to the sale of American securities by foreign holders early in the European con ffct. Department securities by agri- culture reports today indicated that this is to be a short crop year in ev- cry other cereal
 With the largest wheat crop on record, from present indications S96,- 100000 bushels, there is a prospect that approximately 300, 0,G0,000 bushels might beavailable for export With wheat selling at more than $1.10 cents bushel this would cost foreign buyers $330 000,0O It will be offset, however, by decreased takings of American cotton abroad.
 Last year the United States ex- ported $547, 100000 worth of cotton, but from present indications this years exports will fall far below that amount
 It is pointed out that there will be little or no corn offered for export because of the short crops. Last year also was a short corn year and a con- siderable quantity of corn was inn ported. as probably will be the case this year.

glass doors and windows and thirty stitches were required to hold the cheek in place. Her nose was frac- tured and she sustained severe bruises all over her body. She is also inter nally injured, but to what extent can- not at present be ascertained. Mrs. Barnett sustained d multiple fracture of the left leg and had two cuts on her forehead that required six stitches to close. She has a. par probably due to hemorrhage of the brain and has severe cuts on her cheeks and nose
 MT. Farrell received three severe cuts on the left side of his head near his forehead. two deep cuts on his also suffers from congestion or the brain.
 Injured Women, Are Aged. Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Barnett are both aged and had been sick for sev- eral weeks and were out in the au- tomobile for an airing. They had taken ride to Stonington and were returning home when the mishap oc- | cured. MT. Farrell says that he was driving the automobile with extreme caution on nearing the crossing, not moving at speed in excess of four miles an hour- He is positive that the trolley car whistle was not sounded. Claims Signal Was Not Sounded.
 Mir. Farrell had not the slightest lrealization of danger when the tro1- ley car crashed into the limousine He claims that he is in no way to blame for the niishap. that he was on the alert for the car whistle and that if 1t had been sounded he would have heard 1t. The limousine was so badly damaged that when a chain was at tached to drag 1t from the tracks and ltaughtened, the limousine practically dropped to pieces.
 moternuan Sounded Whistle.
 .Motorman Barber is one of the oldest motormen in the employ of the company and up to the present time had clear record and was considered one of the most careful and competent employees and strict observer or the lcompany rules. one of which requires that the whistle be sounded upon ap- iproaching all crossings. MT Barber says he certainly did sound the cross ing signal as usual Owing 70 the high embankments on either side, the motorman could not see anything un- til the crossing is reached, and for that reason the Stop, Look and Lis- ten" sign was placed at this danger ous crossing. The accident Tuesday Is the first that has occurred there.

MORE CONFIDENCE IN
 FINANCIAL SITUATION
Results From Success Which Attend cd Payment of New York's Foreign Indebtedness,

New York, Sept. s.-More confi- dence in the financial situation was expressed by domestic bankers today. This feeling was regarded as a na- tural reflection of the easier conditions reported from London resulting large ly from the success which attended recent negotiations for the payment of New Yorl's foreign indebtedness. Direct connection with Paris was difficult today, but bankers with French connections were completing arrangements for drawing bills on Bordeaux, the temporary seat of the government. It was said the heavy remittances to that point would be made in the near future.

ANDREDUCE EXEMPTION
An Increase of one-haIf of One Per Cont. and Reduction of Minimum Exemption from $s,ooo to $2,ooo Contemplated for Emergency Rev. enue Bill.

Washington, Sept. s-An income tax increase of one-half of one per cent. and a reduction of minimum exemp- tion from s3.000 to s2,000 and the max imum exemption from $4,000 to s3,000 were tentatively agreed upon today by democratic members of the ways and means committee who are framing the emergency revenue bill to raise $100,000,000. It is estimated that the proposed tax changes would produce $35,000 annually.
 Not Available Until July.
 In deciding on the income tax in- crease, the committee considered the fact that revenue from this source would not be available until next July, but the opinion was general that the increased revenue from other sources would meet any deficit until that time.
 Under the, proposed changes the in- come tax would be one and one-half per cent on incomes of single persons in excess of $2,000 and the same on married persons in excess of S3,000 In addition, the one-half per cent in- crease would be added pro rata in ac- cordance with the increased surtaxes on incomes in excess of $20,000.
 Tax on Beer and Malt Liquors. The committee agreed also that the increased tax on beer and malt li- quors should be fixed at fifty cents g barrel, bringing in $35,000,000 On do mestic wines an extra tax of twenty cents a gallon will raise S10,000. Dis titled spirits will escape an extra tax but it was decided to tax rectifiec spirits two cents a gollon, realizing $2,000. 900.
 No Increase on Whiskey. Opponents of an increased tax or whislxies won their fight after thre, ballots had been taken. Proposals t, levy an additional tax of 25 cents anS
 15 cents a gallno were defeated. Or I a proposal to make the tax ten cent gallon there was tie vote. Final ly 1t was agreed to make the tax appl,
 only to rectified spirits at two cents. Railroad Freight May Suffer.
 The committee is said also to hav
 agreed tentatively on a tax on rail
 road freight iuslieu of a tax on rail 1 road tickets. Such tax would b collected by the railroads and easil, administered. The rates proposed, i
 was reported, was two per cent At the conclusion of an all day con | ference 1t was agreed not to tax to
