TROLLEY CREW CENSURED
Assistant Coroner Scores Men Who
Failed to Aid Victim of Accident

The unidentified crew Of an unidentified
trolley that killed Emanuel Newman, Of
1884 North 10th street, was severely GEN.
sured today by Assistant Coroner Arthur
Sellers. at an inquest into the cause Of
Newmans death. II was said that on
February 81. Newman was struck by a
trolley at Somerset and Memphis streets.
and was thrown against another trolley.
II appears at the time there was consider
able argument between the two trolley
crews as TO which car had injured the man
the most. The second car went on its way
with the result that IT was 40 minutes be-
fore the injured man could be taken to
the Episcopal Hospital. where he died
shortly after his arrival.
Leaving a man as badly injured as
Newman was, Is the most inhuman act
ever heard Of" said Sellers.

rs not red tape but national duty, II is

OO0 against s3i70OO,0OO last year.
The budget balances with s1aO, 100000
deficit which is TO be covered by new
taxes.
ANSWERS CRITICS.
Doctor Helfferich criticised sharply GER
tain critics of the Government, who had
said that the Government had promised
no new taxes would be necessary
THE thing that l did say" continued
Doctor Helfferich, twas that new taxes
ought to be avoided as long as the regu-
lar budget and the surplus provided by
the national debt balanced them and madc
them unnecessary"
Answering other critics, who had
charged the Finance Department with
showing lack Of originality In making
UP now taxes Doctor Hclfiericn said:
"I care more for money than original
ity."

strength Of Germany with that of Eng
land and France, saying:

England has fioated less than Si,750.0o0.-
600 in war loans. of which $3.50. .000,-
600 are short term bonds
All of Germany's loans are part of the
consolidated debt"
During January and February the
financial secretary declared tho cost OF the
war for Germany was reduced to
100000 600.
SAVINGS DEPOSITS GROW.
German savings banks now contain
Sl25.OOO 900 more deposits than in 1914
Notwithstanding the fact tina: $l,l25,000

THE enemye campaign Of defamation
extends even into Germany where paid
agents disseminate rumOrs In order 20
damage the war loan subscriptions de-
clared Doctor Helfferich.
Switching over to military affairs, the
official said:
Just now o great battle is raging
around Nerdun. our troops on the firing
line have the right to expect from US that
we at home prove worthy of them and
that all of US who remain behind gives
his share by contributing what he can"
