IMPORTERS SEEK
ACTION At ONCE
Bring Pressure Against British
Blockade.
PROMISE TO TAKE STEPS,
Lansing Said to Have Given Assur.
ances That State Department
is on Alert.

Washington, June 26.-Pressure
of formal and organized character
was exerted today on the United
States government to secure from
Great Britain a modification of the
embargo in all commercial inter
course between Germany and neu-
tral countries.
twenty members of a committee
appointed by more than 1000 Amer
lean importers laid before Secretary
Lansing and other state department.
officials petition setting forth that
Great Britain has "studiously avoid
ed answering the American note of
March 80; that in the meantime val
liable time has been lost in preparing
for future business, and thai the gem
eral effect had been harmful to the
long established trade in this coup-
try"
The importers pleaded for IAN un-
interrupted supply of American own
ed merchantmen whether the same
has been paid for, contracted for, or
may be contracted for" and the uu-
restricted right TO ship non-contra-
band goods through neutral coun-
tries to or from Germany.
In statement issued by the i'm
porters after their conference, il was
revealed that Secretary Lansing had
expressed determination on the
part of both of the President and
himself to do all in their power to
aid the importers in securing the
rights to which they are entitled un-
der the law of nations and by treaty
obligations"
The effect of today's conference
will not be apparent for several DAYS.
Secretary Lansing took the facts pre-
sented by the importers under con-
sideration and will communicate
! with President Wilson.
1t has already been announced that
the state department for many weeks
has been preparing further represen-
tations to Great Britain asking for n
modification of the so-called block
ade. The President, however, has
been unwilling to complicate the sit
uation while the delicate negotia-
tions with Germany were in progress.

LAUNCH ASSAULT
UPON INCOME TAX
Attorneys for Dodge Brothers
File Attack-Three Main
Reasons.

Washington, June 26.-Papers
were filed here today in the frs. at
tack in the supreme court on the
oNnstitutionality of the federal in.
come tax, which promises to be tho
most important case before the court
next term. Counsel for John F.
Dodge and Horace E. Dodge of De
troit fled brief argument attack
ing the surtax on income OF individ-
uals.
Three main reasons were assigned
for claiming the surtax provision of
the law is invalid. Stockholders in
corporations, ii is asserted when,
computing their surtaxes, were sub
jected to liability for the gains and
profits Of the corporations which have
not been divided or distributed.
ITO tax stockholder on pros
pective dividends which he may never
receive can only be properly charac.
terized as so utterly absurd as to i'll
duce levity," the brief declares.
1t is charged also that the provi-
sion vests in the secretary of the
treasury an arbitrary power of deter
mination without hearing, whether
any corporation has accumulated n
greater undivided surplus than is
reasonable for the needs of the bust
ness.
n third reason is thct the provision
permits corporations to accumulate
ard withhold fr3m surtax such part
o. their profits is may be reasonably
necessary for the needs and purposes
of the business and does not accord
such business privileges 20 individ-
uals and partnerships. 1t is urged
that corporations are thus favored
by most invidious discrimination. "

nature OF the situation
DR.. Meyer-Gerhard was sent to

the American government and peo-

In the United States had been some

allies. The sinking Of the Lusitania,
however, undid all this.

Atlanta, June 26.-At a luncheon
Given this afternoon by the Rotary
Club of Macon in honor of Georgia s
new governor, Nat f. Harris, inaugu-

of Leo NJ. Frank, his action in which
evoked hostile demonstration
ag2inst his in the closing days of his
administration.
Honest people may disagree with
me, ma honest man." said the former
governor, but we realize that we
must be measured by our conscience
Two thousand years ago another gov
ernor washed his hands of a case and
turned over Jew to a mob. For
1000 years that governors name has
been accursed. If today another Jew
we're lying in his grave because | had
failed to do my duty | would all
through life find his blood on nv
hands and would consider myself an
assassin through cowardice."
During the inaugural ceremonies
at the capitol there were several
tense moments. When Governor
Slaton approached the new governor
to deliver into his hands the great
seal of the state, few Kisses were
heard from the crowded galleries. G.
Ogden Persons, president of the state
senate, raped sharply with his
gavel. The Kisses continued and
Governor Slaton paused President
Persons raped again and the Kisses
ceased. He warned the spectators
that they must be in order or the
galleries would be cleared.
Instantly there was tumult of
applause.
Leaving the capitol the crowd
surged in on the former governor and
had to be held back by the militia.
Kisses and shouts greeted his ears.
Some one yelled Traitor" and an
other called him King of the Jews.

Advices Received Indicate Fa-

FIRST DEFINITE NEWS.
Exact Nature of Gerafd's Message
Not Divulged, But Its Contents
Made Ofiicials Optimistic.

Washington. June 28.-A favor
able reply by Germany to the last
American note on submarine warfare
is indicated in today's state depart
ment advices from Berlin.
The advices came from Ambassa-
dor Gerard and were the first of a
definate nature received since the
American note reached the German
foreign Office
The exact nature of the ambassa.
doris message was not divulged. His
dispatch was of sufficient detail, how
ever, to put officials in an optimistic
attitude. 1t was communicated at
once to President Wilson at the
summer White House at Cornish.
Ambassador Gerard based his OBJ
servations on the favorable effect
which the visit of DR.. Anton Meeyr-
Gerhard, emissary of Count Bern
storff, produced on Berlin officials.
DR.. Gerhard was understood by
Ambassador Gerard to have reported
that public opinion in the United
States had been growing more and
more favorable to Germany when the
sinking of the Lusitania undid what
had been accomplished. Gerhar,,
made 1t clear also that the United
States did not want war, but wanted
satisfactory reply to it's representa-
tions.
German officials are earger, accord
Ing to Ambassador Gerard's report.
J to give such an answer, but at the
same time they have made it clear
that Germany cannot make any con-
cessions which woulo destroy the eff
fectiveness of the submarine as an
offensive weapon.
1t is understood Germany is trying
to find some method by which Ameri-
cans travelling on ships primarily
used for passenger traffic shall be
safe while the submarine continues
to be used in attacking belligerent
freight ships carrying chiefly con.
traband.
Just what proposal Germany will

cials here cannot conjecture; but
from the fact that Germany seems to
be willing to safeguard the rights of
Americans who travel on ships OF
any nationality primarily engaged In
passenger traffic, an adherence to the
principles expressed in the American
note-the non-combatants should be
immune from attack-would seem
in the opinion of officials here, to be
recognized.
No information has been received
on what the attitude of Germany will
be toward assuming liability for loss

 On Thursday evening. before leaving Columbus I attended a chicken barbecue" on the banks of the Colorado River given in my honor. IA chickens nicely barbacued were placed before us after a merry plunge in the river by all the crowd, and every fellow was notified that he must eat a whole chicken; I ate mine-and then some and everybody else seem- ed as hungry as the man from Arkansas. Those fellows down there are struck on South Texas and they sure make a stranger feel at home with them. I shall never forget that visit.
 We'll I rested all day yester- day (Sunday) and listened to the other fellow preach and it sure was treat to do so.
 The Chautauqua opens here this afternoon and will last seven days. The entire Thurman family have comp" tickets for the "whol show and we shall put in this week there under the big tabernacle.
 Watermellons, peaches, grapes, figs, cantaloupes and fried chicken are before us daily and I am lengthening my belt and doing my best to show my appreciation of the good things set before me.
 We get the ARGUS and read every word, even the Red Devil" ad and it all sounds good to us. We are all we'll and having a great time. Our love to all.
