GREAT SUM FOR THE WAR.
UP TO CONGRESS TO COLLECT
ABOUT FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
BY JULY FIRST.
Leaders For Bond Issues-TaxatiOn
Advocates Arc Expected to Make a
Strong Fight for New Taxes.

Washington, Nov 3O.-Congress
will have to authorize early in the
session convening next Monday means
OF collecting from the American peo-
pie between now and July l about
five billion dollars in addition to the
1860, 100000 from liberty bonds al
ready authorized, but yet to be is
sued the billion dollars or less ex-
pected from the war savings cam
paign and about three billion dol
lars from war taxes.
Most congressional leaders believe
the five billion dollar balance must
be provided principally by issue of
bonds and Secretary McAdoo has told
members of congress that he heartily
favors that method. Chairman Kit
chen Of the house ways and means
committee, on his return tomorrow,
will take up the question and the
committee within a week or two is ex-
pected to frame a. new bond measure
If this plan is finally adopted the
country probably will be called upon
to absorb two more big liberty bond
issues between Feb. / and June 1, ag-
gregating more than $500, 600 900.
Another big finance question which
will receive the early attention OF
congress is the continuance of loans
to the allies. If the present rate OF
extending credits to the allies is con.
tinued the seven billion dollars au.
thorized credits will be exhausted by
July l. and congress will have to de.
eide whether to continue the loans af
ter that time.
The wide difference of opinion eX
lists in congress over the question
whether the bulk of the five billion
dollars should be raised by taxation
or bond issue, but those advocatin,
the issue of securities expect stron,
support from the administration.
Taxation advocates are expected t
make fight for establishment of ney
taxes on certain business lines an,
\ Tor increase of income and exces
profits rates. Under the present lay
the estimated receipts from income
is $1,000, 100000 and from exces
profits 81, 1,22O. 100000.
Treasury officials and congressiona
leaders in charge of the income pro

ELKHART. May 81. - Notwith-
standing reports 10 the contrary that
have been circulated about the city,
the local troop of cavalry that is
ready for muster will be accepted in
the federal service and will soon be-
come az component part Of the In
diana national guard.
Lieut.. Herbert A. Hoffman has re-
ceived word from Major Davis of
Indianapolis that the troop will be
accepted at an early date and that
an officer Will soon be sent here to
examine the members of the troop
and muster them into the state or
federal service.
According TO a report issued by
the war department at Washington
Indiana viii have to raise a full reg
iment OF cavalry for service, and the
Elkhart troop will be the next unit
TO be mustered into the now-form-
ing regiment There are three
troops in the state service at the
present time and these troops will
form the foundation for the full
regiment.
The local troop has over 100 men
enrolled and several applications
are under consideration, and Lieut..
Hoffman states that there will be no
trouble at all to fll up the required
number
But little has been done as re-
CARDS TO enrolling the new names
on the roster of late as some mali
cious person has circulated reports
derogatory 10 the troop, but the re-
cent order from war department
calling upon this state for a full reg
iment of cavalry set the reports at
naught. Now that the order has
been issued it is probable that the
troop will be put in shape for mus
ter in a very few DAYS.

Man Who AnnoyS Local School
Teacher Raves and Tears
OFF Clothing.
News Times Special Service :


ELKHART. May 81. - Shrieking
and babbling in incoherent mean
ingless sounds. Wilson 1. Hendricks,
the man who was arrested for an
nOying Miss Betsy Hustled, tore his
clothing from his body and at
tempted TO make a rope strong
enough 10 hang himself wednesday,
morning, but the Intervention or his
fellow prisoners and Turnkey Hen
bricks, stopped him. 1t was neces-
sary to call a physician who admin
istered hypodermic injection.
After he had been quoted clothing
was given him.
Hendricks is a man about ~ years
Of age and states that his home is
in Mauistee. Mich, wnere he has a
mother living, but he claims that
Grand Rapids is his home at the
present time.
At the hearing before Judge Lee
in the police court Tuesday night
he was questioned closely and but
little information could be obtain
ed from him. Miss Hustled was
called and swore out a complaint
against him for surety of the peace
and he was placed under a bond Of
$1,000, which he vas unable 10 fur
nish.
His annoyance of Miss Hustled is
said TO have been about six years
ago at Stevensville, Mich, where
Miss Hustled was teaching and at
thai time Hendricks was telegraph
operator for the Pere Marquette
railroad at that place. When he
began his attentions 10 the lady she
repulsed him on every occasion, but
he persisted and when she left 10
take another position he followed
her 10 Vassar, Kalamazoo. st. Joe
and Elkhart. Miss Hustled notified
the police two DAYS ago and he
landed in the city Jail
When arrested he had annual
passes in his possession issued Dy
the Pere Marquette Railroad CO.
and the documents stated that he
was what is known as a relief man.
The passes were current ones and
do not expire until Dec. 81. 1917.
After his violent outburst Wed

notified of the case, and he at once
took the matter up with the Mich
igan authorities, and il is probable
that Hendricks will be taken TO that
state and placed in an instit'tion
for the mentally unbalanced.
Miss Hustled is a teacher in the
fifth ward school.
Hendricks has been bound over
to the superior court.
