gave out a statement today explaining
his vote on the war resolution. He
pointed out that his record shows he

did not justify supporting a resolution

Capt. Polack Is Grieved.

Capt. Charles A. Polack of the North
German Lloyd Liner Kronprinzessin
Cecilie, who has been ouartered on the
Koln since his vessel was taken over
by the federal courts assisted in car
ing for the men. His feelings were in
dicated. however, by a remark to a
newspaper man: TOO bad that did
not keep my ship on for Germany in
stead of bringing her to all the trou-
BILE here
y No trace of explosive or incendiary
device was found on any of the vessels.
Two shots were fired, but in each in
stance it was said to have been the ac
cidental discharge of a sailors gun.
The steamers seized were valued at
SIS, 0o0. 900 when they tied up here aft
er the war started in 1914. but are now
rated at $4,000. 900 because of the ad-
vancing value of tonnage. All the ves-
sells. however. have been damaged by
their crews since the rupture of diplo-
matte relations with Germany. AS re-
suit none is ready for sea. Officials esti-
mate that repairs will take at least six
months.
The only Teutonic vessel in the har-
Dor not in the hands of United States
authorities today was the Austrian
freighter Erny.

Reserve Banks Resources.

The 1900 banks of the federal reserve
system, with their $4,000, 00O, 900 in re-
sources. would. it was thought, be
abundantly able. il necessary. to take
care of one entire years financing
alone, without undue strain.
The federal reserve system, it was
pointed out, represents only one-quar-
ter. approximately, of the total numb Der
of banks and banking institutions in
the country. among the outsiders being
number of the big private banking
houses of New York, Chicago and other
cities. The capacity of the banks of the
country alone to absorb a bond issue
would run far above the $500, O0O, 900
required for the year.
These estimates do not take into con-
sideration the countrywide answer by
hundreds of thousands Of individuals
impelled by patriotism, which officials
are expecting when details of the bond
issue are formulated and its authorize
ton given by Congress.

In Speculative Position"

Plans for the forthcoming bond issue
are said by all officials involved to be
purely in speculative position at
present. The country's finances were
never before SO strongly intrenched
as at present, Mr.. McAdoo said Indi-
cations are that the interest rate on
whatever bonds are issued will not ex-
coed 31a per cent, and may be as low
as per cent.

vate financial houses, while considered

generally disapproved. There will be
Gals. in obtaining all the money needed
by popular subscription. The banks and
business interests were Characterised to-
day by one as simply waiting to see
how much is needed and what plans
are adopted for raising it, To this at
titude Is attributed, in large measure,
the recent diminution of activity in the
country's industries.
A largo proportion Of the bond ISSUE
1t was indicated, might be handled
through the federal reserve board,
which would act as the distributing or
fiscal agent for the government in plac-
ing the bonds, although 1t was thought
unlikely that the federal reserve banks
themselves would subscribe for large
amounts. because of the need that their
capital be held in liquid condition.

Representative Rainey Of Illinois, rank
ing majority member Of the ways and
means committee. which will have the
final say in drafting the war revenue bill
before its presentation to the House.
has declared that the income tax prob
ably will be amended so as to furnish
the government with greatly increased
revenues during the war.
My view u.s." he said. that while the
war lasts no man should enjoy an in
come of moro than $4,000 or 100000
a year. and that the government should
take all over this amount. We could
obtain also s200.000,000 additional an
nually by raising taxes on whisky and
beer to a level with what they were
taxed in England before the war
started.
THE excess profits tax. now in force,
must be graduated. making it heaviest
on largest profits. The tariff is impos-
sible as source of revenue during the
war"
May Lower Income Tax Exemption.
Lowering of the income tax exemp-
ton to $4,000 and possibly to $1,000
are among the proposals under con-
sideration. What such action would
mean. one official said today, in actual
revenue could not be forecast even ap-
proximately because of lack of in
formation upon which to base an esti-
mate. A conservative view was that at
the present rate of taxation 500. 900. 900
would be added to the government
revenues; by lowering the exemption to
$4,000 some officials thought the re-
turns would be doubled, bringing the
total to approximately 100000.
Proposals under consideration to in
crease the federal tax ON estates up to
40 per cent on very large estates would
swell the governments revenue If
adopted by hundreds of millions.
The internal revenue bureau of the
Treasury Department Is collecting rev.
enues. under peace taxes. at the rate of
$750,000.0O0 annually. This sum could
be doubled, or increased by $1,000, 000,-
900, by moderate increases in the tax
rates on whisky. beer and tobacco. the
lowering Of the income tax exemption
to $4,000 a graduated excess profits tax.
increased taxes on estates and greatly
increased taxation on large incomes
Through this channel alone, 1t was
thought, approximately s1.0o0.o00.o00
annually might be raised for carrying
on the war.

Port oMcials Were Ready.

The order to take control of the shlps
came TO D. F Malone collector of the
port, from Washington shortly after
the passage by the House OF the war
declaration. and prearranged plans were
at once set in motion. Three companies
of regular troops were added TO the

very little attention was attracted to
the proceedings. and the Germans were
transferred to Ellis Island without IN

Collector Malone paid tribute to the
orderliness of the men and the manner
in which their officers and the officials

ships. co-operated with him. The yes
sells were placed in charge OF customs
