America needs a strong fleet. a fleet

build them wisely. which means giving
them the utmost hitting power and re-

WRANGLES BETWEEN
.CONFEREES HALTING
WAR REVENUE BILL
Hope to Get Measure Re-
ported to Both Houses
This Week Is Now
Abandoned

Washington, September 1s.-Wrangles
between conferees on the war tan bill to-
day over second-class mail rates. excess
profits and the fact that news of the
secret conferences has been altering out
halted progress so materially that re-
port to both houses this week seemed
doubtful
Refusal of Senate conferees to approve
finally the tentative agreement to ac-
cept a limited zone system on second
class rates developed situation that
still was causing heated de*ste at ad-
journment tonight. The House members
deemed a general Zone system in ac-
cordance with the wishes of Secretary
McAdoo and other administration lead
ers, while the Senate conferees insist
that there shall be no increase of more
than a quarter of cent a pound In
the 1-cent rate.
The excess profits section received lit
tie consideration during the day, and
that was far from encouraging. An ex-
pert called before the committee at the
request of Senate leaders assailed ootn
the Senate and House proposals as UNI
workable in their present form and sug-
gested material change in them even be-
fore an attempt was made to reach a
compromise.
Suggested changes included creation OF
a board of adjusters to see that fair play
Is given all persons and corporations,
and the authorization of payments Of the
tax on an installment plan.
The leak" feature of the conference
is causing some of the conferees much
worry and others an equal amount OF
amusement Resolutions pledging secrecy,
solemnly adopted at the outset of the con
| ferences, have been strengthened SO that
any conferee who gives out information
regarding the deliberations now Is subject
/ to exclusion from further conferences.
Publication of the fact that tentative
agreement had been reached to throw the
| motor car tax back on the manufac-
| turers as originally proposed by the
House. brought flood of personal and
| telegraphic protests to the capitol. Hope
was being held out tonight to motor man
ufacturers that nothing definite had beer
done about the automobile tax rate, al
though a majority Of the conferees is I'M
derstood to be determined that the tax
1 shall be assessed on the manufacturer
and not the purchaser.

AMERICAN VESSEL

A Gulf Port, September 19.--Seizure of
