BEGIN FIGHT
ON WAR TAX
Republican Caucus BoomS
Minority Leader for
President.
NO NEED OF SPECIAL
LEVY WITH ECONOMY
Blame for Waste Put on Wilson
Mann to Conduct House
Campaign.

Washington, Sept. 1S.--At a party
conference tonight the Republicans Of
the House agreed, without n dissent
ing vote, TO oppose the Democratic war
tax bill on the ground that it is unnec-
ossary and is the result of Democratic
;travagance.
The Republican conference, which
was open to the press, was n harmoni-
Gus affair and was marked by the
launching of Presidential boom for
Mr.. Mann, the minority leader. Con-
tending that the fight in the House may
well be left to the generalship of Mr..
Mann, Representative Hughes, of West
Virginia, said:
81 am willing to follow him in this
fight and to follow HIM until we land
him in the White House in place of
Woodrow Wilson Applause greeted
this sentiment.
No attempt was made TO bind men,
bers to vote against the revenue meas
ure, but as the conference prepared 10
adjourn Mr.. Mann, to test the 9enti-
mcnt of his colleagues. asked all those
who intended TO oppose the bill TO
stand up. Every Republican presen'--
about eighty-arise.
Mr.. LCnroot. Of Wisconsin, suggest
ed that in lieu of revenue legislation
the Republicans line up behind reso-
luton demanding the appointment OF
a Joint committee of the two houses
ito scrutinize appropriation bills which
have passed or are pending, and report
On means 10 bring the limit of appro-
prlations within the government rev.
cnucs."
Mr.. Roberts, Of Massachusetts, moved
n vote on the Lenroot resolution, but
it was rejected on the theory that ia
introduction would be futile, because It
would never emerge from committee,
and that the Republicans could best
register their opposition to revenue
legislation 10y voting against the Dem
ocratic bill and seeking to rccommit 4.
A motion offered BY Mr.. Madden, o,
Illinois, declaring that "it is the sense
of this conference that with proper
economy in expenditures by the Demo-
cratic party no additional taxation -
necessary" was unanimously adopted.
The minority leader, Mr.. Mann, was
repeatedly applauicd as he assailed the
gross extravaganza" Of the party in
power.
This administration has been gross
w extravagant." said Mr.. Mann. With
the proper economy the revenues would
Toe ample, but because of the waste in
appropriations and the effect Of the
Democratic tariff we are facing bill
providing additional taxation. The ad-
ministration says it does not desire 20
take from the banks the $75.OOO,OOO
which it has there. but it would TAX"
il out of the pockets Of the people.
What is the difference? When tho
rockets Of the people are emptier than
usual it is no time to levy additions!

patriotic and are willing to pay taxes
when necessary, but this revenue bill
is entirely unnecessary. ! am against
the entire scheme"
Mr.. Mann said that under the I'm
derwood tariff bill this country had lost
in the balance Of trade for the first
seven months of the year-prior to the
beginning of the war-more than $780,

DENIES MARRIAGE OFFER
Ouintard Answers Breachh of
Promise Suit.

George W. Quintard. grandson of
the late George w. Quintard, founder
of the Quintard Iron Works, and heir
to a large part of his fortune, fled his
answer yesterday in the Supreme
Court to the breach f promise suit
brought by Miss Jane Sutherland. The
plaintiff has demanded $4,000 dam
ages. alleging that Quintard promised
on May 20 last, in Cherbourg, to marry
her. Quintard has replied, saying that
when he became acquainted with Miss
Sutherland she knew that he was mar
ried, and he denied that he ever prom
ised to marry the young woman.
Mrs. George W. Quintard was for
merly Miss MAZE Wood, whose bravery
at the wreck of the Brewster Express
at Williamsbridge a few years ago was
much commented on. About a year
ago Mrs. Quintard sued her husband
for a separation, but she later discon-
tinued the action.

pears on the list Of directors. Former
State Treasurer Arthur A. Mclean is
president and Frederick Lage, of Rio
JaneirO, is treasurer.
Most of the accounts of the concern
are due from South American business
houses, and the failure to pay is at
tributed to the financial difficulties
brought about by the cessation of
European banking facilities, owing to
the war.

ship lines in Brazil The firm was
controlled by the father and uncle of
Frederick Lage Both men died re-

There are many trade opportunities

Charles NJ Muchnie, third vice-pres-

that all they have TO do is to go there

there was no reason, however, why we

Mr.. Jennings, the president of the
association. said that there was a
shortage of men equipped to work I'D
trade from South America, and that
consequently problem had arisen. He
said it was absolutely necessary, If
we are to increase our trade relations

have the proper technical equipment

II. II. Douthitt and William A.

manufacturer was too sporadic in his
