BALFOUR TO APPEAR
BEFORE CONGRESS SATURDAY
II is Understood He Will Make a Brief
Speech in Each House.

Washington, May 2-Foreign Sec
retary Balfour, head of the British war
mission, will appear before both houses
of congress Saturday. a privilege never
before accorded a British official.
1t is understood he will make brief
speech in each house, though the chief
object of his visit will be to pay a
call of courtesy.
Mr.. Balfour spent most of this af-
ternoon with Secretary McAdoo and
Sir Hartman Lever at the treasury
department, after devoting the morn
ing to conferences at the mission head
quarters He lunched with the French
mission at the British embassy.
The trade discussions between Brit
ish and American officials are said now
to have covered practically the pre-
Iiminary ground and to be waiting on
additional information from England.
The South American trade situation
has received almost no attention as
yet, for the British have regarded it
as question to be left largely to the
United States because of this coun-
try's superior interests and better ia
cilities for dealing sympathetically
with that field.
The British mission will go to New
York in about ten days to join the
French for the welcome meeting plan
ned there. After that the members
may take a trip through the middle
west and possibly to Canada.

TENTATIVE DRAFT OF
WAR REVENUE BILL
Made by the House Ways and Means
Committee.

Washington, May 2.-Persistent up
ward revision of the tentative draft
of the war revenue bill by the house
ways and means committee today
brought the total to be raised up to
approximately $1,65o, 900, 900, or within
$165,000,000 of the amount originally
suggested by Secretary McAdoo and
refused by a Subcommittee.
Plans now are to raise the remain
ing s165, 200, 900 through consumption
taxes, if necessary, or as a last resort,
by tariff changes. Agreement has
been reached to discuss proposed tar
iff increases after all other questions
have been disposed of.
Partisanship has entirely disappear
ed in the discussion.
One of the sharpest clashes of tho
meeting today was over the question
of continuing the policy of secrecy IN
framing the bill. Members pointed out
that IL would be to the public interest
to court the fullest publicity. The pro
posal was voted down promptly.
Discussion today certered largely
about the ex-NsS5 profits tax and de-
veloped the old alignment of those who
desire to make Individual income taxes
pay most of the burden. The sub com
mittee's excess profits tax section
would double the present rate.

Senate Tackles
Food Problems
SCATHING DENUNCIATfON OF
FOOD sPEcULATORS
ENEMIES OF THE NATION
Best Way to Deal With Them is to
String Them Up to Lampposts or
Put Them Behind Prison Bars
Borah Favors Government Posses
sion of Packing Plants.

| Washington, May 2.-The rising
| sentiment in congress for legislation to
| meet the nations food problems broke
out in the senate today in a debate that
developed into denunciations of food
spectators with predictions that the
best way to deal with them was to
string them to lampposts or put them
behind prison bars.
No Shortage of Staple Foods.
Senators from farming states denied
staple foods Senator John Sharp
Williams declared there had been a
hysteria throughout the country and
that the cause of high prices was
lieved the German corruption fund re-
Gently unearthed in a federal court
in New York may have been respons-
ible for the hysteria-

that there is no shortage of food.
Senators Nelson and McCumber agreed
that there is no reason to fear
shortage.
Attack on Spectators.
The attack on the SPECTATORS was
led by Senator Thomas and Borah.
The Colorado senator declared that
they were the real enemies of the ma
ton. expressed the hope congress
that would remedy the evil, and said
the lamp post is the thing to cure
such speculation. Before the debate
turned to other things, Senator Thorn
as introduced amendment to the
espionage bill empowering the presi-
dent by proclamation to suspend dur
ing the war the operation of boards of
trade and chambers of commerce
which deal in futures. He had it sent
to the table for later consideration.
Conscription of Food.
Senator Borah predicted a world
famine if the war lasts two years and
if extraordinary and sustained efforts
are not made here to meet the food
problem. He attacked the packers,
declaring they made enormous profits,
and said speculation and monopoly in
foodStuffs made millions for those who
were responsible and made poems of
the people," He favored conscription
of food and government possession of
the packing companies. Food specu
lation, he said, would not be ended un-
til the spectators ARE put in stripes
behind the bars
Senator Nelson suggested that If
some of the Statesmen concerned
about this situation" would go to
and assure the farmer of
good climatic conditions, the wheat
crop there would take care of itself.
Senator McCumber said the nation
should have a wheat surplus this year
of more than 200. 600, 900 bushels after
feeding itself and providing for seed
ing.

Both Houses of Congress.

Washington, May Both houses of
congress will vote on proposals to
strike out the censorship sections of
the administrators bills when they
come up for final passage During
debate today Senator Johnson of
California and Representative Graham
of Pennsylvania announced that they
would move to strike out the sections
to which there has been much oppo-
sition by newspapers and persons who
say it would endanger the right of a
free press and free speech.
Representative Gard of Ohio urged
passage of the measure as it stands.
He insisted that the newspaper sec
ton was proposed as any criminal
law would. be, not to hamper the reli-
able press, but to safeguard against
dishonest newSpape
In the senate debate centered upon
the export embargo clauses. Senator
Hoke Smith offered a substitute for
the committee to draft to authorize
only when foodstuffs reach
an enemy country through a neutral.
Senators Overman, Walsh and
Thomas defended the committee pro-
posal and denied that it would permit
in application between
any ports of the United States.
Senator Johnson of California gave
notice just before adjournment that
before the final vote on passage of
the bill he would move to strike out
the censorship section previously ap-
proved by the senate in committee of
the whole.

much higher than any contained in
recent British announcements.

Liverpool, May 2. $40 p. m.-Eigh-
| teen survivors of the Vacuum arrived
here today. They were all in one
1ifeboat which. they said. was the only
one of the three launched to remain
afoat. One boat was swamped be-
side the Vacuum just as the steamer
was disappearing beneath mountain
Gus seas. few hours after they
lightened the burden of the captains s
boat by taking four OF its occupants,
thus making the total number of men
In each boat eighteen. the survivors
saw 1t capsize on huge wave about
a quarter of a mile from them. The
seas were too high to render assistance
and besides the survivors were too
busily occupied in preventing a mis-
hap to themselves.
Until the receipt of the captains tel
egram stating that he with some 9TH
ers had been rescued by a patrol boat,
those arriving here had believed they
were the only survivors.

which weer needed. as many of the
survivors were suffering from ex-
posure. They made unavailing in
quiries regarding the possibility of any
of their comrades having been washed
ashore. On the next day they were
taken away by a trawler.
Oscar Gales, the first mate, who
lives thirty miles south of Boston,
Mass. told The Associated Press that
the most striking fact in connection
with the torpedoing was the marvellous
way in which the submarine man
oeuvred in the great seas.
'It was blowing a gale" he said
land the seas were coming over the
Vacuum; yet, after we were torpedoed
the submarine. which was a very large
one, came to the surface and circled
around the Vacuum several times
with the greatest ease. The noun
tanious seas appeared to preesnt no
terrors to that submarine"
Joseph Simpson, second engineer Of
the Vacuum, in an affidavit to the
American consul, said that presuma-
bly, three Chilean f1remen went down
with the ship-that they either were
killed by the explosion or were
caught in the wreckage.
Gunner Wilson said he was beside
his gun at the stern when the torpe-
90 struck beneath him, throwing him
into the water. from which he was
picked UP by a boat.

No Action of Great Importance in Any
of the War Zones

That Germany's submarine arm, not
her military arm, is thre menace
Which. for the moment, is threatening
the future welfare of the United
States and the entente allies is recog-
nized by the chancelIeries of all the
powers at war with Germany
The last of April saw the underwat-
er boats send to the bottom hundreds
of tons of shipping, which means that
huge quantities of ammunition and
foodstuffs, the receipt of which would
have greatly heartened Great Britain
and France, have been irretrievabIy
lost to them and made the pinch of
want to those countries, their soldiers
and their people more acute.
The military activities on all fronts

the other fronts have there been en-

VAWTER'S STORY OF
KILLING OF STOCKTON HETH
Revealed in Letters Introduced by the
State - Struggled Against Craving
For Drink.

Christiansburg Va. May "a story
OF how Charles E. Vawter, Virgiania
Polytechnic professor. on trial here for
killing stockton Heth. Jr.. had strug-
sled against the craving for drink.
had discovered and condoned iHprop-
er relations between his wife and Heth.
and had asked the latter to pay
whiskey debt for him. was revealed in
letters introduced today by the state
The letters were produced during
the cross examination of Vawter this
afternoon. In one communication
NaWter wrote that he had discovered
the improper relations between Mrs
NaWter and Heth. that she had stood
by the defendant when drink had made
a demon of him and that now his love
for her would not falter.
Now you can love her with less
fear" said the letter. you are not
worrying me. for it is for her happi-
ness. not yours. alohough I like YOU
very much. You are simply a lucky
being"
In the same letter vawter asked
Heth to pay liquor bin of s63 for
him.
Vawter confirmed virtually every de-
tail of the shooting as given before the
bail commissioner and produced in
court yesterday. When he awoke at
a. m. and found that Mrs. Vawter
had left the room he went downstairs
and got his pistol. In the hall he
met his wife. he stated. and she clung
to him and said:
kill me first"
At the top of the stairs he grappled
with Heth. who ctoked him, and as he
was losing consciousness he fired the
three fatal shots.
Several times during the examina-
ton the accused man broke down com
pleteIy.
Mrs. Vawter was in the courtroom
with the two Vawter children, She
will take the stand when court con-
venes tomorrow morning.
