explaining the report that United
States secret service agents had dis
covered that until recently a wire

the roof of her Fifth avenue home.
There is no wireless or any instru-
ment of this kind on my house or on
any building in which I am in any
way interested" declared Mrs. Reis-
niger. upwards of year ago I had
in my employ a second man sent by
the same agency from which I have
been securing my servants for over
twenty years. This man, l was in
formed, while in my employ, was at
tending the wireless school of the
Young Mems Christian association in
this city, to improve his station.
Unknown to me, he installed a
small wireless apparatus on the roof
of my house, such as hundreds of
young boys have for practice. AS
soon as | discovered this apparatus
l prohibited him from using it, and
ordered it removed from the roof.
This all occurred over fifteen months
ago, and about eHven months ago
this man left my employ and have
not heard from him since"

by British vessel today. The mes
sage said:
sight suspicious vessel OF object
forty-five miles south, six degrees
west true, from Nantucket light ves-
sci at 3:15 a. m. today. (Signed)
British Vessel"
Later the position of the mysterious
vessel was given at latitude 44.10
north, longitude 1928 west almos,
due south from the shoals.
The report OF 2 Mysterious craft in
the steamship lanes to Europe was
the second to be announced officially
within twenty-four hours. Yesterday
the lightship sent word of a com
merce raider" of ten thousand tons
burden passing west. Whether the
craft sighted today was the same one,
naval officials declined to state.
Nantucket shoals are only S5 miles
east of the naval base at Newport.
There were reports today from wide
ly separated sources that a raider
had been sunk off Nantucket by a
destroyer or submarine. To queries
on all such stories naval men had
only one answer: 1--WE can say moth
ing about it,
No report of any victims of a
raider in these waters have been re-
ceived so far as known. Prompt
action by the navy yesterday in get

foreign warship. Under more favor
able weather conditions today with
patrol boats having a wide range of
visibility, shipping moved more
freely.
Naval officials tonight were inter
ested in comparing the position given
as that of the mysterious vessel or
object" with reports made first on
Friday and again tonight, of the pres
ence of a derelict schooner in the
same waters. The positions differed
only slightly. The schooner N. F..

their struggles.
Count Won Reventlow of the Tages

The Vorwaerts is happy in the be-

Hungary with a scathing arraignment
of conditions in the one country ruled
without parliamentary institutions

Much Discussion Likely.

Much Discussion Likely.
Considerably more time, it is
thought, will be consumed in the
passage of the war revenue measure
to follow. Sentiment in congress ap-
parently crystalized in support of the
program of advancing an enormous
loan to the allies, varies greatly as to
the methods to be pursued in raising
revenue through taxation.
In general terms, it seems certain
the bulk of the additional revenue
will be raised through revision of tho
income and excess profits tax laws.
1t is also likely that the tax on whis-
key beer and tobacco will be raised
AS to what outlines the income tax
law will assume upon emerging from
the committee, one mans guess, an
official, said tonight, is as good as an
others. There appears to be a gen.
eral sentiment for lowering the pres
ent exemption and raising the rates
heavily on large incomes. A graduated
scale may be adopted in revising the
excess profits tax law.
Other Taxes Considered.
Suggestions that part of the wal
revenue be raised by the imposition
of stamp taxes on checks and other
documents and that a consumption
tax be placed on sugar tea and cof-
fee, have been made in both branches
of congress-, and it appears likely
these will he considered.
Officials in charge of the financial
problem found themselves today the
center of a countrywide lombard
ment of telegrams and letters of ap-
proval. From every section came as
ssurnnres of support. Offer. ~ O.
operation were received from ndi-
viduals, organizations, firms and
banks Many of the latter offered to
place at the disposal of the proper
authorities all means within their
power for distributing and aiding in
the sale of the bonds.
PatrIo.ic support Certain.
Expecting the usual variance of
opinion generally manifested with the
announcement of any proposed finan-
cial legislation, officials were stirred
by the unanimity o, ,1e approval and
the unmistakable note of patriotic
support in the great volume of COM
municatons received.
