BLAME NOT FIXED
FOR KAMELA WRECK
Evidence Shows Orie Taylor
and Wife Were Instantly
Killed While Asleep.

LA GRANDE, Oct. 9.-Without fix
ing blame for the accident, a coro-
ner's jury this evening returned .
perfunctory verdict in the railroad ac-
| cident at Hilgard, ten miles west OF
here, Saturday night. Evidence
showed that Orie D. w. Taylor ana
his wife. Bartina, were probably in
stantly killed while asleep in their
outfit car, in which they made head
quarters while he was employed as a
special signal maintainer, and thar
fire broke out and burned the bodies.
The remains We're not found until
after the wreckage of three cars, in
Guiding the caboose, had burned out.
Mrs. Taylor's remains consisted of
Tart of the trunk only. The upper
and lower extremities of both were
burned off
e. d. Shively. of Echo, testified he
was a relative by marriage to Taylor
and located the couple as prospective
locaters at Kimberly, near rwin Fails,
Idaho. The wolrans parents. Mr..
and Mrs, EvGEs, live at Gle Elum,
Wash.
The train to which their outfit car
was attached was standing on the sid
the sidrp and crashed into it. The
loss to equipment has not been off
ciei'y determined. One carload of
stock was rescued by tearing out the
doors and hberating the stock.

OUR SHIPS PATROL
THE MEDITERRANEAN
Act as Conveys TO Merchant
men There as Well as to
Those in Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Americar
destroyers and other naval vessels in
European waters are conveying ner-
chant ships through the submarine
zones of the Mediterranean as wen as
in the vicinity of British and French
Atlantic ports. Secretary of the Ma
Wy Daniels made this announcement
today. 40 ala
The secretary declined to say
whether American gunners wait for
Austrian submarines to fire on mer-
chant ships which they are conveying
before attempting to put the submer-
sibles out OF action.
1t may be stated as certainty that
Admiral Sims while not fighting Aus
tria, is doing all he can to curb hos
tile submarines wherever they ap-
I ear. The fact that Austria and the
United States are not at war does not
enter into the matter.

BRITAIN PLANS TO
CONSCRIPT CAPITAL
Government Has Practically
Decided to Levy Direct
Tax on Wealth.

LONDON, Oct 9.-England is pre-
pairing literally to conscript capital
The British government has practical
ly decided to levy a tax directly on
capital. This is probably the most
radical financial innovation since the
beginning of the war. Officials ad
init ordinary taxation will be unable
to meet the after war expenses. 1t
is estimated the total private wealth
of Britain Is a hundred billion dol
lars. The government plans to take
ten percent OF this, wiping out half
of the war debt.
II the present government revenue
could continue after the war. It would
meet the expenses outlined.
At least three billion dollars viii
be raised by taxation. Seven hun
dred million dollars OF this sum was
raised by an excess profits tax. which
expires after the war. other large
additions from taxes are not expected
to produce the same ratio after the
war. 1t is roughly estimated that
taxation can produce only a billion,
seven hundred and fifty million dol
lars after the war, when two billion.
five hundred million dollars will be
needed. Government officials say
levy on capital is the logical solution
of the problem. The plans propo-
nents declare the strongest argument
for the plan is IT wouldn't actually
diminish the nations capital.
