Eighteen Million Dollar Rev. enue Total Called For In House Measure, Under Fire of Senate.
TAXATION OF SPECIAL
 INDIVIDUAL OPPOSED
Income Tax Schedules Are Expected To Be Adopted With But Few Changes As Originally Drafted.
(By Review Leased Wire).

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The size of the nations tax burden for the first year of the war debated by the senate finance committee today with out reaching a final decision. All members are said. however, to re- gard material reductions of the house revenue measures s1,S00. 900 total as necessary and certain.
 Concensus of opinion in, apparently favors an appropriation between s1.. 125, ,O00,00O and s1.5OO.O .OOO.000. Sew. eral tentative plans are under debate. Among them is reduction or the sub stitution of a new tax system for the house levy of five per cent on the au- tomobile and other industrials. Com mittee sentiment is said to be strong ly against what has been termed the house taxation of special industries.
 Adoption with little change of the income tax schedules of the house bill. other than the retroactive pro vision, is said to have been decided upon by the committee. The rates fixed by the house bill. including the new normal tax of two per cent, the reduced exemptions of 5000 for sin gle persons and $2O00 for married, and the increased surtaxes as orig inally drafted by the ways and means committee. senators say. probably will be accepted.
 The further increase of about one fourth in surtaxes on incomes over y40.000 provided in the Lenroot amendment, is strongly opposed.

 WASHINGTON, May 25.-A categor- ical denial that any American naval vessels have been sunk in the war was issued tonight by Secretary Daniels to counteract "camapign of vicious ru- mors that is being carried on so indus triously by persons unknown"
 It was the first official notice to be taken of flood of reports of naval dis asters that started almost as soon as it was known that American destroyers were in the war zone.
 Tt is with deep regret" the secre- tary said, that I note the daily stream of false reports of the sinking of American ships. Brokerage wires are a particular source for those baseleso rumors that cannot but be the cause of anxiety to all the country, as well as to the mothers and fathers of the na- tion who have sons at sea.
 "The department has given repeated assurances that its policy is to be one of absolute frankness with respect to disaster. If it should be that ships are sunk, full information will be given officially and quickly.

The destroyers now aiding in the hunt for submarines in European wat CTS, under the direction of Admira. Sims, put into port at Queenstown on May Is. How long they were in cross ing the Atlantic or from what port they sailed never has been announced, and few people in the United States knew of it.
 No official would comment tonign, on the possible means by which the news was conveyed to Germany. If it did not go from a secret wireless plant, it must have been carried in some dis patch that the allied cable censers passed as innocent.
 The result will be to redouble the vigilance of the censors and of every agency for the government engaged in routing out the spy system.
