Many clashes occurred among its members.
Several shots we're fired. No attempt was
made TO keep order Two persons were
reported struck by bullets.
The crowds kept ceaseiess vigil around
the building In which the soldiers and
workmen's delegates were meeting. Excited
throngs gathered around various orators.
Cheers for the peoples ruie were mixed
with roars of applause greeting demands
for wholesale designations of the present
Government leaders.
But through all the disorder there ran
the instructive caution against aiding Ger
many by disruptng Russias forces. Ex-
tremist agitators who sought to urge COM
plete brotherhood with German soldiers
were howle1 down. Nicholas Lenin. now
recognized as a German influenced agitator,
was literally swept away when he tried to
speak The crowd simply would not let him
talk. Before lcng the crowds temper had
subtly changed into patriotic demonstra-
ton for Russia at any cost. and this scnti-
ment was recognized and fostered by
friends of the provisional governments
leaders who followed the crowd and be-
sought order again.
The whole glst of the orators. remarks
seemed TO be that the populace was unwill-
,hg to support any ministry which would
enter into secret treaties. Instant demand
that the present ministers make public ali
into which they had entered or
intended entering, or else resign. was voiced

WAR REVENUE BILL
STILL in A MIDDLE
Last Efforts Made to Adjust
Measure for Report
Monday
SENATE TO REWRITE 1T
WASHINGTON. May 5.

WASHINGTON. May 5.
Apparently in hopeless disagreement over
tax schedules the House Ways and Means
Committee met today in final attempt 10
formulate n war revenue bill to he reported
TO the House Monday. As the time for re-
porting the bill draws near with little pros
pect of composing dssensions in the House
committee, leaders are convinced that the
fight will not only he carried to the floor Of
the House but to the Senate as well,
Already Senate leaders have taken notice
of the radical disagreements in the House
committee. While the House decided NOT
to hold hearings on the revenue bill, word
has come out of the Senate that the various
interests to be affected by the increased
taxes will be given their day in court.
Congressional wseacres were free today
in predicting that the Senate Finance Com
,nittee would rewrite whatever bill is sent
over from the House. Leaders in the lower
body seem to have failed altogether in
framing the nonpartisan measure they
originally planned.
when the House committee met today
members were hopeiesSly at odds over the
excess profits tax. One or two Democrats
were understood to stand with their Re
publican colleagues against a horizontal in
crease to Is per cent. There seemed. how
ever. to be some slight prospect Of commit
tee agreement to n IL per cent tax.
The draft of the measure before the COM
mittee today did not provide schedules to
raise all of the $500 100000 asked by
Secretary MCAdoo. 1t was estimated to
fall short something like $2O0O00,0O0. Re-
publicans have prepared statistics TO show
that slight tariff increases would add $3.50
00O. 600 to the war chest Consumption
taxes on tea coffee and sugar were also
among the questions up for consideration
Despite the determined opposition of au-
tomobie manufacturers, the committee
seemed determined today TO stand by its
decision for an automobile tax of per cent
on the gross total IF factory receipts. The
committee also is agreed on 10 per cent
tax on amusement tickets, an increase of
letter postage to three cents and postal
cards to two cents.
The stamp taxes were still under discus
sion when the committee met today. They
were understood to have been agreed upon
as follows:

ICT1ONS END
RUSSIAN CRISIS
by AGREEMENT
4 sGovernment Remains Intact,
Following Conference
With Deputies
GERMAN AGENTS ROUTED
4 iMiliukoff Stands by Note Pledg-
ing Full Cooperation
With Allies

The crisis in Petrograd incident 10 the
Q1eagreement between the Council of
Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies and
Foreign Minister Paul N. Miliukoff and
aggravated by the agitation of the sep
arate-peace faction is virtually over.
The provisional Government and the
council have reached a compromise. The
council has accepted the explanation of
the Government on the note sent by
Miliukoff to the Allies on May |. in
which Russia was pledged to respect all
tts political obligations. The council is
opposed to a separate peace with Ger
many. but accused Miliukoff of cherish
ing imperialistic ambitions. The council
also protests against secret diplomacy
and approval of old treaties without maxi
ing the details of their provisions public
Two days of demonstrations and riot
ing. in which both pro-Government and
ahti-Government factions took part, have
ended in a restoration of calm. The
separate-peace agitators are being driven
OF the streets.
Among those who are leading the fight
against separate peace, but at the same
time insist on no annexations, are Maxim
Gorky, Russia's foremost living novelist,
and George V. Plechanoff, leader of the
Social Democrats.
The strong stand shown by Prince
I4voff, the Premier. and Miliukoff is re-
sponsible in a large measure for the
restoration of order. The authority of
the provisional Government is firmly
established
