German Prize.
PRIZE COURT RULING

Decision of Tribunal Will Give
Department Precedent for
Future Gases.

Washington, Feb IA libel suit
instituted. today by British owners of
the liner, Appam, to recover the ship
from the German prize crew that
brought it into Hapton Roads is ex-
pected by state department officials
to result in a prize court ruling that
will clear away many perplexing fea-
lures which have confronted them in
dealing with the case. u....
Establish Precedent.
With Germany asking that, as a
prize, the Appam be allowed to re-
main indefinitely in American waters
under the Prussian traty of 1928, and
Great Britain insisting that the liner
must be restored to her owners under
the Hague convention of 1907, depart
ment officials would welcome judg-
ment by competent tNibunal, not on
ly for guidance in thespresent case,
but as a precedent for 'ahe future.
The department, in the absence of
such precedent, has held tentatively
that the Appam is German prize,
but never has passed formally on Ger
many's request that the vessel be al
lowed to remain indefinitely in Amer
ican waters. A reply to that request
now is in course OF preparation. II
was said today, however that the re-
spOnse might wait until the prize

COURT AfF|RMS
An OLD DECISION
Stark County Officials Will Be
Tried on a Charge Of En-
bezzlement.

The supreme court has affirmed the
district court decision in the Stark
county case which has been hanging
fire for some years. The case is the
outgrowth of the embezzlement OF
funds in the Office Of the auditor five
years ago. Some of the bonding com
panies disclaimed partial liability in
the matter and a former states attor
ney took the suits on contingent
basis, thereby realizing q considera-
BILE sum for both himself and the
county. A former board of commits
sioners and states attorney had con
sidered the amounts uncollectable.
Citizens contended that the full
amount realized from the bonding
companies should be turned into the
county treasury and employed coun.
sci to prosecute. Defendants entered
a demurrer, which was denied by the
lower court, the point being that the
suit should be tried, and now the
higher court says that it should be
tried in the usual way. Hence it is
presumed that the cases will be up
for trial at the regular term OF dis
trict court in May.

NAY INCREASE RATE
OF THE INCOME TAX
Proposal to Lower Exemption Fl
gure Sure to Be Defeated;
Raise $1o0,0o0,ooo.

Washington Feb. 19.-The proposal
to amend the income tax law so as to
include smaller incomes is virtually
certain to be abandoned in favor of
an increased rate on those already
taxed, it was declared tonight by
Democratic house leaders.
Sentiment against lowering the ex.
emption limit, in order to provide ad-
ditional revenue for preparedness
crystalized, it was said, in the Demo
cratic caucus Wednesday night, when
Democratic Leader 'Kitchin declared
against changing the minimum Of
$4,000. Since then protests against
all reduction plans have become more
0utspoken daily.
Leaders declared tonight that virtu-
ally the entire preparedness revenue
burden would be met with income
taxes. Tentative bills. looking to rails
ing 500. 900, 900 solely by an increased
income tax rate, are being discussed
and will be offered soon in commit
tee.
