New York.-Ignatius T. T. Lincoln,
former member of the British parlia-
ment and self-confessed German spy,
who escaped on Jan. 15 from the GUS
tody of a United States deputy mar
shal after his arrest here on Aug. 4,
1915, at the instigation of the British
government, has been rearrested here
again in front of Broadway restau-
rant. He was taken to the offices OF
the department of justice, where he
was questioned behind closed doors
for more than two hours. Later ne
was removed to the Raymond street
iail in Brooklyn, where he had former
ly been prisoner.
Lincoln declared his capture was
due to the fact that the people OF q
lodging house where he had engaged
quarters learned his identity and at
tempted to extort $3.50 from him IN
return for the surrender OF his bag
gage. He declined to make q state

Berlin The most important parts
81 the goyelnment's tax measures have
bean snbt1ls he'd to the bundesrath. but
stTic pvssprxed regarding
their nature II appears. however, that
the bills have been designed to fur
nish 500, 900 900 marks Of new reve-
nue.. The new measures probably will
be published before the reichstag re-
assemblies on March Is.
The chief feature of the fiscal leg
islation probably will be tax on
extra wartime profits, as has already
been decided in principle, by requiring
corporations and firms to reserve SO
per cent Of their increased earnings
for future taxation. That rich yield
from this tax may be counted upon is
shown by the annual report Of num-
Der OF companies which laid aside 81
900 900 marks to 100000 marks for
reserves, under the law. There has
been much agitation among CONNER
cial classes against the government
taking the entire so per cent, but 1t is
even feared that higher rate than
so per cent may be adopted.

UNITED STATES WILL SECURE "A
ss-YEAR OPTION ON OTHER
CANAL ROUTE.
NAVAL BASE IS INCLUDED
Report That Germany Was Negotiat-
ing For Canal Route Brings Votes
For Ratification-N4II Cost
U. s. $4,000, 900.

Washington.-The senate, by a vote
of SO to 18, has ratified the long-pend-
ing and persistently opposed Nicara-
guam treaty whereby the United States
would acquire a 99-year option on the
Nicaraguan canal route and naval
base in the gulf Of Fonseca for S3,000,-
600.
Included in the ratification resolu-
tion was provision declaring that the
United States in obtaining the naval
naval base does not intend to violate
any existing rights in the Fonseca gulf
of Costa Rica, Honduras and Saliva
dor, which had protested against the
proposed requirement.
Five Democratic senators voted
against the treaty. They were Cham
bebrlain, MARITIME, Clarke Of Arkansas,
Thomas and Vardaman. Republicans
who voted against ratification were
Borah, Clapp, Cummins, Gronna, Jones,
Kenyon, -LaFollette, McCumber, Nell
son, Norris, Smith Of Michigan, Smoot
and Warren. Fifteen Republican SEN
ators Joined the administration forces
in support of the treaty. They were
Brandegee, Colt, Dillingham;. Dupont,
Fall, Gallinger, Harding. Lippit, Lodge,
Mclean, Page, Poindexter. Sutherland,
Wadsworth and Weeks.
Immediately after the senate had
acted Senator Chammorro, the Mica
raguan minister, said he would at once
communicate with his government,
and that he expected ratification OF
the convention by his government
would soon follow and exchanges made
to put the treaty IN force.
During the long debate declarations
were made in the senate that tseTmany
had offered Nicaragua more than had
the United States for the canal route
option and is said to have been used
as an argument for ratification.
