REVISED FIGURES
 10 LOWER TAXES
ONLY S15o.O00,OOO ARE NEEDED
Figures Submitted by Secretary Me- Adoo Show that Taxes on Income Inheritance and Munitions will Meet Needs of Country.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2O.-- Figures submitted by Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo today show that the entire program for revenue raising will have to be re-arranged, many of the items of taxation proposed for raising the funds to take care of the government expenditures having been found unnecessary in view of the fig nres submitted.
 The Secretary held a conference this afternoon with Chairman Payne, of the House Ways and Means Con- mittee, and Senator Payne and Sim mons, of the Senate Finance Commit tee, to whom he submitted a revised estimate of the governments eXpend- itures for the remained of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1916, and for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917. These figures show that a great deal less revenue will have to be raised than was anticipated to meet the gov ernment expenditures on the prepar- edness program and other large eX- penditures. It is figured that only about S15O,0OO,O0O will have to be raised in addition to the income al- ready provided for during the coming year, and that a number of the pro- posed taxes may be dropped. Accord ing to the figures submitted all of the additional income can be raised on the proposed income tax, and the taxes on inheritance and munitions.

Fairbanks MedicO Says American Residents in Europe Feel that Gov. ernment Has Been Lax in Subma- rine Issue.

American residents abroad, at least in London and Paris, feel that the government of the United States
 has been lax and are indignant that she has not taken firmer stand on the submarine controversy, according to Dr. James Arthur Sutherland, who is on his way to his home in Fair banks, Alaska, after spending several months in the hospitals of the two foreign capitals.
 l "Her citizens of Europe feel all most ashamed of the United States in the exchange of notes on the sub marine issue with the central pow ers," he said ta the Frye yesterday. Not that they want to see the coun- try in the war. they only feel that it should take firm stand in diplomat is issues''
 Americans in the European cities laugh at the lack of unpreparedness lat home, calling the nation foolishly Iblind.,, Dr. Sutherland went on. On other subjects, however. he encoun- tered no criticism of the administra- tion.
 The most remarkable impression Dr. Sutherland gained from his ex- perience behind the lines was of the absolute certainty the French people oe all fn Hyin "hon O left Paris, on March IA, the great battle of Verdun had been seventeen days in progress, and yet there was cheerfulness everywhere.
 "The men and women are gritty and loyal" he said "They feel that they are fighting for their very ex- istance, yet are perfectly optimistic. Nine out of ten women are in black, mourning for some one lost in the war, but show no regret for their sac rifice I found that the French peo- pie are very grateful for what assist ance the Americans and Red Cross give them in hospital work.
 The Fairbanks physician and his wife, who has been travelling with him. were at the mouth of the river Thames when six hostile aeroplanes attacked Deal and Ramsgate. They were able to watch the counter at tack of the war vessels and fortifica- tions and British machines. The Gu harder Andania, on which they came across the Atlantic on their return journey, made detour to avoid sub marines, which made her trip 500 miles longer than the usual course.

CARL PCENITZ GIVES
KNIFE HOLDER FIGHT

A knife holds no terrors for Carl
Poenitz, 1888 Fifth street.
Poenitz was on his way home at
midnight Saturday when at Seventh
street and Twenty-third avenue he was
suddenly confronted by man who
stepped in front of him from the
shadows.
|. The thug ordered him to hold up
his hands, at the same time showing
Poenitz the flash of metal in his hand.
Poenitz thinking it was a reyOlv-
er, started to comply. Then he saw
that the thug held an open knife and
not a revolver. To some people the
sight of cold steel is more terrifying
than the sight OF a revolver, but not
to Poenitz.
He closed with the thug. They
fought all over the sidewalk and ad-
joining yards for a few minutes. Then
the thug took to his heels, leaving his
intended victim on the battlefield in
full possession OF his life and property.
During the fight, however, Poenitz suf-
fered slight wounds on his hands from
grasping the knife. He reported the
matter TO the police and went home
to bed.

WOMAN STOPPED IN
ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE

Attempt at suicide was made Satur-
day evening by Mrs. Rose Phelps. 1t
is said she rushed from Third ave
nue. restaurant, where she is supposed
to have been quarreling with another
woman. to the river bank at the foot
of Sixteenth street. Tearing off her
hat and coat as she went she waded
into the water. To several men stand
ing near by it was apparent that she
intended making an end of her life.
They followed her and had her out of
the icy water before she had fully
made up her mind to put her head be-
meath the surface. The ambulance was
called and the woman was removed to
the city hospital. While she was
rather weak from the shock. caused by
the cold water, her lungs were free Of
water and she was able to return to
her home yesterday.
, The Phelps woman has been a con-
spicuous character about Moline for
some time, and she has had her lnn-
/ ings in Rock Island. Persons who saw
her actions Saturday are inclined to
the belief that she was under the in
| fluenCe of liquor.

DELAY OF AMBULANCE
PROVOKES OFFICIALS

There was demonstrated yesterday
when the Moline ambulance went to
the island in response to a call saying
that two people had drowned and
another was near death the need of an
agreement between civil authorities of
the tri-cities and the military author
tiles on the arsenal, whereby patrol
and ambulance service will not be in
terrupted.
Detective Henry Lebbert, driving
the ambulance, passed tn guard at the
Fifteenth street bridge without realiz-
in gthat he had been ordered to stop.
A few minutes later, however, as he
neared the sun dial on the island he
was confronted by an armed soldier
who stopped him at the point of rife.
After some argument and a lengthy
explanation the patrol driver was al
lowed to proceed Reaching the place
where Korsh, the half drowned man,
was. he placed him in the ambulance
and started on hurried dash to the
city hospital.
At the Moline end of the Fifteenth
street bridge he was confronted by a
closed and locked gate. The guard re-
fused to allow him to pass. Another
explanation and argument followed,
but the ambulance was not allowed to
pass until the guard hod communicate
ed with headquarters. In the mean
time Is minutes had elapsed and the
man within the machine was in a ser
iOus condition.
While it is believed that korsh will
recover. should he not the delay at
the gate will be partly responsible.
Civil authorities are inclined to think
that while orders are orders they
might we'll be mixed with a little COM
mon sense.
