The German Socialists Vorwaerts
Association has declared~emphatically

fare, according to a Berlin dispatch to

I'VE expect the German government
to leave no stone unturned in support
Of President Wilson'S efforts for peace,
On no condition must our relations
with nentrals risk being prejudicea BY
unrestricted warfare. The social de-
mocracy is firmly adhering to the pol

ASKS CODIFICATION
OF TENNESSEE LAWS
STATUTES HAVE NOT BEEN COD
IFIED SINCE 1858.
Committee of State Bar Association
Will Present Matter to State
Legislature: Would Have Spe-
cial Commission

Codification of the laws Of Tennes-
see and their publication in official
form for the benefit of lawyers and
citizens of the state is advocated by
the members of the state bar associa-
ton.
An address has been published by
the association and circulated among
its members asking them to use their
influence in the legislature to have
such action authorized at the present
session.
According to the address of Judge
Charles N. Burch if Memphis, deliver
ed before the bar association during
its meeting here in June, 1916, the laws
of Tennessee have not been codified
since 1853
As many thousands of measures
have been enacted by the legislature
since that time, it is difficult for at
torneys to be certain that they have
consulted all the statute law of the
state on any given subject. Frequent
ly they are forced to go into court
with a shaly feeling in regard to crit
ical cases, because of the fear that they
may have overlooked some little known
statute bearing on the matters at is
sue.
Due to the tremendous volume Of
work to be done in codifying the stat
.utes, the lawyers9of the state recon-
mend that tife Segislatarg provide for
special commission to accomplish the
task.
If the work is attempted the codif-
cation commission will be asked to
make numerous improvements in rules
for court practice and other similar
technical matters regarding the court.
Joseph H. Acklen of Nashville is
chairman of the bar association COM
mittee which will take the code revs-
ion matter before the legislature. 9th
er members of the committee are Jno.
T. Lellyett of Nashville, secretary;
John H. Pitts of Nashville; Judge R. M
Barton of Memphis; William P. Met
calf of Memphis; 3. E. Tatum Of Chat
tanooga; W. J. Donaldson of Knox
vile; H. G. Morrison of Johnson City,
and W. H. Biggs of Jackson.

BAPTISTS ASK MERGER N
WITH nj. E. HOSPITAL
Would Consolidate and Build One
Great Institution.

Would Consolidate and Build One
Great Institution.
Memphis, January 11-Trustees Of
the Baptist Memorial Hospital took
steps at their annual meeting yester-
day to consolidate tehir institution with
the Methodist Hospital and erect one
mammoth hospital which will serve
the needs of Memphis and the tri-
states.
As an inducement to the Methodists
to merge with them, the trustees
changed the name of the Baptist Ne
mortal Hospital to the "Good Samari-
tan Hospital" Whether or not the
Methodists agree to consolidate, the
Baptist hospital hence forth win be
known as the Good Samaritan.
In the event the Methodists decline
to consolidate, construction will be-
gin at once on the new wing which will
double the capacity of the present
Good Samaritan hospital.
A. E. Jennings, president of the
board of the Good Samaritan hospital
called the attention of the trustees TO
the fact that the Methodist friends had
bought lot and are engaged in a
movement to erect hospital in Mem
phis.
Mr.. Jennings said the overhead ex-
pense of operating two hospitals with
a combined capacity of 450 patients
would be $4,000 heavier per year than
if the same work were done in one
large, well equipped hospital of equal
capacity. He suggested that it-would
be better far to let this large sum Of
extra money be used for the benefit of
the suffering poor. y
He said that plans had already been
drawn for large additions to the Good
Samaritan hospital, and that these ad-
ditions are Necessary to give the hospi-
tai all the conveniences and advart-
ages which ought to be added, AsN, ~
as for the sgccpnlosgts snsf v.esd 49,
ing patronage. tS7
Mr.. Jennings said that in order that
the work might be properly done in
Memphis, and the expense of operat-
ing two hospitals saved and turned to
better purpose, he personally would
make three offers to the Methodists.
These offers were:
First-That the Methodists be Civ
en- representation on the board of trus-
tees, and thus have part in the manage
ment of the Good Samaritan Hospital.
Second-That if they would not ap-
prove of this plan he would be willing
to take the Methodist's lot on Lamar
Boulevard off their hands at the price
paid by them, and let the Methodists
build in another city, which has mo.
protestant hospital, and thus supply
a real need.
Third-That in event no satisfacto-
ry arrangement or compromise could
be reached, he would prefer to give
the Methodists the Good Samaritan
hospital, and let them spend their
money in enlarging and equipping it,
and thus meet the demands of Mem
phis and adjacent territory.
Upon hearing Mr.. jennings state
ments, the Rev. E. L. Wesson of New
Albany, Miss, said the board of trus-
tees would not have authority to make
these offers without the vote of the
convention, and offered a resolution
looking to that end.

TO MEET DEFICIT
IN U. S. TREASURY
Framing of Revenue Legislation I'm
dertaken by Democratic Leaders.

Washington, Jan. 9--Framing Of
revenue legislation to meet the pros
pective treasury deficit was nudretaken
today by democrats of the house ways
and means committee. Tentative plans
including proposed bonds issued to
cover extraordinary expenditures of
the army and navy and special taxa
tion, already have been drafted by in
dividual members, and Secretry Nc
A6oo has furnished a comprehensive
statement rof various methods by
which money may be raised.
President Wilson is understood to
consider the passage of a revenue
meaure at this session of congress inn
perative, though at present he has no
intention of addressing congress on
the subject. He has told calleds he
would make no definite reeommenda-
tions as to how the necessary addi-
tional income should be provided. 1t
is expected, however, that both he and
Secretary McAdoo will be freely con-
suited by the ways and means COM
mittee men before they complete their
work
A proposal to tax profits of certain
classes of corporations and partner
ships 8 or 10 per cent will be one of
the owes seriously considered by the
committee. Opposition to that plan
already is apparent among some of
the house democrats and there also is
very little disposition to favor a hor-
izontal duty of 10 per cent ad valorem
on imports now free and per cent in
crease on existing duties. Chairman
Kitchen is known to oppose this and
any increase on foodstuf, including
coffee.

GERMAN RAIDER IN
ATLANTIC WAS SUNK
Reported that Liner VOltaire Recap
tured by British is now in
Bermuda Port.

New York, Jan. 10-Persistent ru-
mors that German liner was met
in the Atlantic and sunk by a British
cruiser yesterday afternoon were cur
remit oday in well informed steam
ship circles. Details are lacking as to
the identity of the vessels engaged and
the location Of the encounter.
The Lamport and Holt line, owners
of the steamship Voltaire, announced
that rumors had reached them that
their vessel was now at a Burmuda
port. Line officers said that they had
heard that the Voltaire, after capture
by German raider, had been recap
tured and taken to Bermuda. The
Voltaire left Liverpool on November
% for New York
Cable advices from London, Decem-
ber 9, told of reports that a German
raider had succeeded in getting thru
the Britich Gordon around the North
Sea. The raider was described as a
vessel of about 4,5O0 tons, 1926 feet
long, and with a 45-foot beam, well
armed and fitted with torpedo tubes,
Allied ships were repeatedly warned
by wireless to "take all precautions
whenapproaching any other ship at
ea"
Several unconfrmed reports of a
raider being sighted have reached ship
ping men here and the censorship of
all ship movements has been estab-
lished in Great Britain and also ex-
tended So this country as far as pos
sible, by requests that steamship agent
and port officials withhold news of time
of sailings and information as to mani
tests.
