KAISER's DEPOSITION ASKED
BY GERMANS URGING PEACE

ROTTERDAM. Dec. 2S.-A Christmas
manifesto. calling upon German soldiers
TO quit the trenches and depose the
Kaiser from the throne he has fouled''
was issued today by an organization
called the German Humanity League 4"
1t was signed by Karl Bernstein and nine
others.
"On the eve of Christmas when the
bloodstained mOnarchs are exchanging
messages of peace and good will with
the sovereign pontif at Rome" read the
manifesto. "our brave soldiers are still
shedding their life blood as the pawns Of
a ruthless clique. without shame or pity
for the widows and orphans of the father
land. Our homes are still being desolated.
This campaign Is not waged In lawful
defense OF German territory. but to sat
isfy the Unsuitable ana savage greed Of
Prussian conspirators.
To-day the German name Is the seorn
Of civilization. The German flag has be-
come the emblem OF infamy. German
chivalry Is buried In the trenches OF
Flanders and the village grave plots OF
Belgium.
I'VE are loathed by all honest men.
Napoleon failed. The Kaiser must
fail. There can be no peace until he Is
deposed from the throne he has fouled
and his fellow-conspirators have met
their fate at the hands OF the eonsti-
tutionalists."

WILSON'S TAX PROGRAM
TO BE MODIFIED
Democrats Inclined to Heed
Protest Against Including
Combustion Engines

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-House DEM
ocrats have decided to fling by the board
one of President Wilson's suggestions Tor
raising revenue 1t is his tentative plan
for taxing internal combustion engines.
Congress began to hear from the coun-
try" Just as soon as the Presidents mes
sage was printed Every farmer who
owned gasoline engine. with which he
operated his fodder cutter, his separator
his churn or pump, was up In arms The
response to the Presidents suggestion was
so instantaneous and vigorously negative
particularly from the farmer, In addi-
tion to the expected protest from the auto
mobilist-that Administration leaders in
Congress decided It was political expedi-
ency to drop the proposed plan at once.
The proposed tax on gasoline Is stlll an
issue Certain members profess to see In
the recent sensational rise in gasoline
prices an effort by the Standard OIL Com
pany to create a sentiment against this
plan of raising revenue. The gasoline
user now paying from 20 to "a cents a
gallon, according to locality. would raise
terrific roar If the Government pro-
posed to add on two or more cents gal
lon to this price as n tax.
An Increasing sentiment for heavy
inheritance tax is apparent among mem
bers There is also considerable opposi-
ton to the bank check tax suggested by
the President.

TWO BOYS ACCUSED
OF HIDING WITH LOOT
Saloonkeeper Says He Discov-
cred Them on Fourth Floor
of Home-Two Escaped

Two lads OF innocent face and mild
manner are at the House of Detention
awaiting trial today accused of being
members of a gang that for months has
been stealing clothing and other articles
and storing the booty on the fourth floor
of n saloon building at Sth and Vine
streets.
They are Henry Burman and George
Jones, IL and 10 years old. Burmnn lives
at 1913 Vine street and Jones 1T 52S North
Sth street A single glance at either of
the youngsters would indicate to the
average observer that they were model
members of a Sunday school class or per-
haps teachers pets" in a grammar
grade.
They we're arrested on Sunday by Hugh
Clark, proprietor of the saloon. For
many weeks, according to the police of
the llth and Winter streets station. the
boys have been living on Clark's prop
erty. They obtained entrance It is said,
by smashing a trap door with hammer
climbing to the roof several times each
day at the risk of their lives. They are
accused of stealing articles of slight value
continuously. placing the loot securely in
a fourth-floor room.
According to Clark he and his wife go
TO the fourth floor less than once n month
They use that part of the house only for
storage purposes. When Mrs. Clark COM
planned of noises upstairs her husband
searched the entire house and discovered
four boys lying on the floor He seized
the two boys who are now at the House
of Detention. The other two jumped from
fourthtioor window to a porch roof on
the third floor. Then they escaped by
rainspout, disappearing from the sight
of Clark within IA minute. The lads are

SUIT TO FORCE PUBLICITY
OF TEXTBOOK CO.'S AFFAIRS
Rozier C. Bowman Alleges Frauds in
T. ]. Fosters Concern

Alleging fraud in the sale to him of In
ternational Educational Publishing Com
pany stock. Rozier C. Bowman has
brought suit for $500 damages against the
International Textbook Company, in an
effort 10 force full publicity OF the affairs
of all corporations fioated by T. j. Fos-
ter. OF Scranton. The suit was Instituted
yesterday in the Municipal Court
In his statement, Bowman alleges that
in December 1911, he was induced to pur-
chase stock in the company by II. S.
Chambers. a representative of the con-
cern, on the basis that the company was
earning per cent. on its preferred stock
The textbook company. which owns the
publishing company, knew that the repre-
sentations made by Chambers at the time
were absolutely false and fraudulent" in
that the publishing company was not
earning dividends at the time and the
accounts had never been audited, accord
ing TO the statement.
The suit grew out of the opposition by
Foster TO allow the stockholders any in
formation with respect to the financial
condition OF the company after dividends
We're discontinued last April. The state
ment declares that Foster refused to let
either the Stockholders Committee or
public accountants go over the books.
A few weeks ago the minority stock
holders declared at a meeting held in
Camden that 100000 OF reported assets
had disappeared entirely. and appointed
Alfred S. Wright chairman of a commit
tee to force full publicity of the books
of the company.
Mr.. Wright today declared that the
suit had been brought at his instigation
chiefly for the purpose OF bringing the
textbook crowd out in the open.

FAVOR ROOSEVELT

that Colonel Roosevelt can pose before
the masses as representing the people.
while he can have private understand
ing with the masters that he will repre-
sent the financial interests. With this un-
derstanding they would support Colonel
Roosevelt, Notwithstanding the past
curses heaped upon him. These financial
heads are for any one TO beat Wilson,"
MY judgment Is, that when the time
comes for the nomination, Colonel Roose-
welt will demand a platform of principles
similar TO that he ran on as the Pro-
gressive candidate in 1912. He Will have
TO do this TO maintain his honor and
confidence with the people Then the
bosses viii desert him. They will find
he will not enter into trade TO trick
the country. This will be the end of Mr.
Roosevelt in the convention. These mas
ters then will turn To a candidate with
whom they win have an understanding
but whose public record will be so obscure
that the people may be deceived in him.
Roosevelt will then announce his opposi-
tion TO such man and such a trick and
the people will beat the Republican can
diate."
Senator Lewis said that the most i'm
portant single factor in the Republican
Convention will be United States Sena-
tor Boise PenTose, of Pennsylvania. He
gave as the reason that the electoral
vote of this State is the second largest
seek II. In the opinion of Senator Lewis.
Senator PenTose will be able to deliver
IL, and with him will go New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland. This block of
votes will bs sufficient to nominate a
candidate. he said.

QUITS TO RAP WILSON
Henry A. Wise Wood Says He
Can't Stand Presidents
Weak Policy
NEW YORK, Dec. %.

NEW YORK, Dec. %.
Secretary of the Navy Danlels's re-
fusal to make public the recommends
tions OF the general board of the navy
stirred yesterday the ire of Henry A
Wise Wood. preparedness advocate, who
is member of the Naval Consulting
Board. and Alan r. Hawley. president of
the Aero Club Of America.
Mr. Wood sent his resignation from the
Naval Consulting Board to Secretary
Daniels 80 that he can he free in future
to criticise the dangerously weak naval
and military p6.cy of the President"
while Mr.. Hawley sent to Senator James
w. Wadsworth, Jr.. to Senator o'Gorman
and to the "a Now ~~rk representatives in
Congress request for an investigation of
Secretary Daniels suppression OF the
original report and n demand that Il be
made public in the interests of the
country.
Mr.. Wood, who Is chairman Of the
Conference Committee on National Pre-
paredness, attacks Secretary Daniels for
having substituted his own knowledge for
that Of the experts Of the general board.
He writes In part
Where tho General Board recommends
that our navy be made the equal of the
most powerful in the world by 1925. and
offers the program for 19l7-withheld by
you from the public-which the board
SAYS will accomplish this If continued in
subsequent years on similar scale, you
have arbitrarily limited the board to
given sum for new construction. and thus
have forced 1t to substitute for this a
program which in reality Is not its own.
but that of yourself, n civilian, who as
such is wholly incompetent to judge how
large or what our naval forces should be-
Likewise the Secretary of War. not
withstanding his often expressed deep in
terest in preparedness, has not had the
courage to support the recommendations
OF the General Staff of the army. The
staff consists of our most highly trained
experts. yet he, also merely a civilian,
has cut its recommendations to pieces"
Mr.. Hawey calls the report issued by
Secretary Daniels IAN inadequate plan
made by order of the Administration, as
a compromise with such members OF the
Democratic party who. like William j.
Bryan. Congressman Claude Kitchin and
w, W. Bailey, advocate limited arma-
ment."
