Washington, Aug. 13.-How to raise

the loss to the United States in inn
port duties expected to result from
the war in Europe will be the subject
Of a conference today between Secre-
tary McAdoo and Representative I'm
derwood. chairman of the house ways
and means committee.
Treasury experts last night COM
p!eted a statement showing imports
from the war one. They did not
hazard an estimate of probable loss
i'll revenues, though informally it
was admitted that the total might be
for the year. Figures also have been
prepared to demonstrate what might
be raised by increased taxes on Ii
quors and tobacco, and by adding to
the income tax.
Representative Underwood and
Senator Simmons. chairman Of the
finance committee, are making
a thorough study Of the situation, but
will not attempt to frame a definite
plan of action until Secretary McAdoo
has outlined actual conditions. Then
the advice of President Wilson will
be sought.
The normal revenue on .importa-
tons from the countries now affected
Germany, Great Britain. Austria

--approximates SIG. 900, 900 a year.
Germany exports many things that
the customs experts say may be pro-
vided by England. and other countries.
Japan might take advantage of the
opportunity to increase its exporta-
ions of articles normally supplied by
Germany. The chief loss will be in
pottery, laces n embroideries, toys,
dyes. etc.
Among the plans being informally
considered is one to change the in
ternal revenue tax on cigars and to-
becco, making it an ad valorem tax
instead of a fiat tax on amounts. In
this way it Is estimated about $40
100000 could be raised. From an in
c!esaed beer tax it is estimated $780,
100000 could be brought in. No
change in the income tax could be
effective until after July / next.
Senator Shields of Tennessee issued
a statement today urging the use of
the income tax to provide any addi-
tional revenue needed.

These restrictions include the re-
quirement that full address, including
street and number, must be given, and
all messages must be signed with full
names of senders. This requirement.,
the company says, serves to augment
the length of messages and greatly in
creases the cost to the public, but is
necessary if the messages are to be

at sender's risk, as the censors with

SENATE VOTE STANDS 1884
More Than Majority Secured by
Friends of Resolution, But TWO
thirds Vote Is Necessary-south-

Washington, March 81. - Woman
suffrage advocates lost their fight in
the United States senate for a resolu-
tion proposing an amendment to the
federal constitution giving women the
ballot. The vote was 80 for the meas
ure to "a against 1t, a t~wo-thirds af-
firmative vote being required for pas
sage, and when 1t was over suffrage
leaders jubilantly pointed to the ma
jority of n as conclusive proof that
their cause had scored a triumph in
defeat and was UNNECESSARILY strong
er than its opponents had ever been
willing to concede.
The action, following weeks of de-.
bate on the floor of the senate, dur
ing which many leaders in the suf-
frage movement pleaded for postpone
ment of the final vote, marked the eli
max of a spirited campaign launched
here the day before the Inauguration
of President Wilson.
Immediately after the vote, Senator
Shafroth of Colorado sought to intro
duce a new resolution for a constitu-
tional amendment requiring each
state to vote on granting suffrage to
women upon petition from 5 per cent
of it's voters. The senate went into
executive session before the senator
could get the floor, however, and the
resolution will be offered later.
The resolution defeated was the
first introduced in the present con-
gress. 1t was presented by Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon and the wom-
an suffrage committee later author
lied Senator Ashurst to report 1t IA
vorably.
Though otherwise the vote virtually
was nonpartisan, the southern sena-
tors, all Democrats, lined up almost
solidly against the amendment. They
contended 1t would complieate the
negro question in the state. or the
southerners only Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana, Sheppard of Texas, and
Lea OF Tennessee voted for the reso-
luton.
Senator Vardaman led a movement
among the friends of woman suffrage
in the South to repeal the Fifteenth
amendment to the constitution, by
which the states are prohibited from
denying the right to negroes to vote.
With the negro question removed he
said he favored the granting of suf-
frage to m His proposal was
defeated by As to 10, and a proposition
by Senator Williams to give the ballot

BANK BANDIT KILLED; 3 HURT
FIVE HUNDRED SHOTS ExcHANG.
ED IN GUN BATTLE.
Robber Had Very CooIIy Driven Cash
Ter Into Vault and Walked
Of With $1,000.

Shawnee, Okla, March 23.-In a fight
with a sheriff's posse near here Jose
Patterson, who, it is charged, robbed
the State Bank of Newalla, Okla, of
$1,000, was shot and killed, and Chas.
Hawk, chief of police of Shawnee, and
Frank Timmons, a deputy sheriff, were
wounded.
II. c. Hulse, a farmer, who was a
member of the posse, also received
slight wounds. The money was not
recovered.
Patterson, a native of Newalla, re-
turned there after an absence of years,
and walked into the state bank. Burt
Braley, the cashier, knew him and
spoke TO him as he entered. For an
swer, Patterson covered the cashier
with a revolver and ordered him to
get into the vault quick"
AS the door closed behind the Off
cial, Patterson reached into the cash
drawer and took $1,000. Then he
walked out and through the main Sec
ton of town.
1t was two hours before the cashier
could get out of the vault and give the
alarm. Then a posse was organized
and pursued Patterson to the thick
timber near the town. He made little
effort to conceal himself from the
posse.
Come on and fight" he shouted,
from behind a barricade of fallen
trees.
The fight lasted three hours and 500
shots were exchanged. Patterson
saved his ammunition, using it only
when a member of the posse came too
close. He fell with a bullet from
the rifle of Deputy Timmons.
When Patterson's clothing was
searched only SO was found. 1t is be-
lieved he buried the money.
