SAY GERMAN AGENTS
SOLD POISON SOAP
Three Arrested Accused Of Causing
Typhus and Tetanus.

Poisoned soap Is the latest weapon
TO be used by the German propasan-
dists in this country, II was learned
at the Department of Justice yester-
Fday The same peddlers who have
been dispensing poison court plaster,
In many instances have been selling
soap impregnated with typhus, te-
tanus. and other germs, It is de-
clared.
Six arrests were made In q small
town in Illinois yesterday IN connec-
ton with the sale of court plaster,
and, IN pursuing the investigation.
Department Of Justice agents learned
that poisoned soap also had been
sold by the men. All the men under
arrest are Germans. Their names
were not divulged by the Department
nor could the name Of the town in
which they were arrested be learned.
1t was stated the six men. travel
ing In q small automobile. entered
the Illinois town and began to sell
court plaster and soap. Before they
crossed the county line. they were ar
rested for attempting TO cash q bad
check. While being held on this

Light COMPANY Will
REST CASE IN COURT
Reduction Of Charge. to Be De
termined by Legal Process.

Instead Of Immediately lowering the
rates for electric current used by
consumers as Is understood to be
the position taken by the Potomac
Electric Pow er Company at the head
quarters Of the Public Utilities Com
mission; and as was stated TO be
the case in an evening paper yestsr-
day, the company intends to file q
bill within a day or two with the
Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, which. viii ask for the sus-
pension of the reduced rates OF the
Public Utilities Commission, pend
ing the hearing OF the appeal in the
courts. - .
The company will hold up the rem
dering of the bills for electricity for
short time, az Il expects action
tc be taken upon the appeal fled
In the courts yesterday, asking that
the valuation be set aside and the
commission be restrained from the
enforcement OF the laws pending the
decision OF the courts In respect 10
the fair valuation Of the properties
OF the company, on which the meas
ures demanding the reduced rates
was based. -- g..
oficials of the company pointed out
that. II, after they had lowered their
rates, the decision Of the courts
might be favorable to them, there
would be a large amount OF money
lost by the company and no method
would be known for the regaining
OF the amounts lost through the re-
duction which would have been nulll-
fied by the later action OF the courts.
On the other hand. the officials de-
clare, in giving q general survey OF
their stand. II the rates were not re-
duced at the present time and the
action Of the courts would be un-
favorable to them. the consumers
would have the money which they
had paid the company more than the
amount OF the reduced rates. returned
to them in the form Of a rebate.
The bill of appeal is under process
of formst ton and the finishing touches
will probably be put to 1t either
today or tomorrow.

SEEK TWO Billion
RAISE IN WAR TAX
Senate Finance Committee Would
Get Money from Corporations.

Taxation increasing the war rev.
enue bill to some 1900, 700 was
agreed on yesterday by the Senate
Finance Committee. The new levy
which amounts to about s313. .Oo0. 900 will
be derived from increased corporation
surtaxes, new taxes on Individual in
comes above $3.50 and additional
taxes on whiskey and beer.
1t was decided to increase the pres
ent normal rate OF per cent on in
comes Of corporations to s per cent.
This is expected to raise about sls2. =
.0OO. 900.
Another 81 per gallon on distilled
spirits will make this tax $50 in all.
and will realize so. 100000. Fifty cents
per barrel more will be charged on
beer. This will make the total beer
tax under the bill. 1875 per barrel.
1t Is hoped to secure S25.OOO.O 900 on this
tax.
The committee talked yesterday
about increasing the taxes on war ex-
cess profits. But nothing was done.
1t is said that because OF the heavy
taxes on corporation and Individual
incomes. these war profits may not
be increased any more.
