UNEASINESS OVER
 WAR TAX PROBLEMS
Wall St. Brokers Concerned Over
 Steps Government Will Take

Further aggressive selling by the short interest was witnessed at the opening of today's stock market, par ticularly in the various war shares. Declines of ono to two points were made by Bethlehem steel new stock, Central Leather and the leading cop pers. with as much for General Motors and four points for Sloss Sheffield Steel. U. s. Steel lost a substantial fraction with American Can and marine preferred. Specialties in gen. eral were heavy. Rails also reacted, Reading losing point. Recessions ex- tended to the railroad bonds, Penna. General h losing full point.
 Marines and a few isolated special ties steadied the list for brief period after the opening but a broader sell ing movement soon set in. Traces of liquidation in various stocks were attributed to increasing concern re- garding war tax problems. U. S. Steel lost two points with two to a1- most five in other steel and iron issues. Metals and motors averaged two point losses and Ohio Gas increased its set back to six points. Fractional rallies occurred at noon. Bonds were irreg- ular, investment rails showing heavi- ness.
 Rails were the heaviest features of the afternoon, standard issues declin- ing one to almost three points. Rela- tive strength was shown by marine preferred, Utah Copper and Studebak- CT, but elsewhere prices dropped back almost to low levels of the morning.
 Closing-Selling was resumed in the last hour, steel and other leaders making new minimums. The closing was heavy. Sales were estimated at 100000 shares.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT
 MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
Police Inclined to Believe German
 Spy Was Responsible

Baltimore, Md, April 5.-Suffering from a dangerous gunshot wound in his chest, about which he remains stubbornly silent Michael Porzakov- . sky, a distinguished member of the Russian diplomatic service, is in a critical condition at the church home and infirmary. He was shot yester- day in his sleeping room, at the Bal timore Country club, where he was staying.
 Two theories are entertained re- garding the affair, which the mem bers of the Baltimore Country club have done their best to shroud in mystery. The friends of the attache in Baltimore declare the wound was se1finflicted accidentally while the Russian was removing service re- volver from his clothes.
 The police have been told the wound was inflicted from gun and not from a revolver. They find it hard to reconcile the fact that the man said goodby to his friends at II o'clock Tuesday evening, and that the shot was fired after o'clock in the morning, with the statement from club members that it occurred when M. Porzakovsky was undressing to go to bed.
 They are tracing clues which lead them to believe he was the victim of shot from a German spy, bent on assassination. Color is added to this theory by the fact that Mr Porzakov- sky is known to have come to Amer ica within the last two weeks, that his mission here was of the utmost delicacy and diplomatic importance and that he was returning from a conference with the Russian ambas- sador at Washington with most im- portant message for the new govern ment in his home land.
