preme Court yesterday afternoon fol-
lowing the filling of the jury box II

lected in about three hours.
The indictment on which the defend
ants are being tried accuses them Of
tapping the wire leading to the home
of Dean Potter, at IA Woodruff Ave

A discord in the orchestI?. OF the
Arion Singing Society Of Brooklyn
which is said TO have an unpatrlotic
sound il TO be investigated at meet
ing Of the society's directors on Fri
day night.
August c. Metz. conductor Of the or

the musicians play "The Star-Spsngied
Banner" at a public rehearsal last FRI
day night. and with having supple
mented his refusal with the remark
that the playing of the national an
them was INDUCED in only by tine
scum Of the earth
Mr.. Metz declined yesterday 70 al
firm or deny the phrase attributed TO
him. He admitted that he had said
"No" to a request that the anthem be
PLAYED, but declared that his objection
was based upon technical rather than
unpatriotic grounds.
II am an American and nave no de-
sire TO cast aspersions on our national

Legislature Gets
Direct Tax Bill
Of Sl2,S43,3SO
New Measure Provides for
Levy Of l.08 Mills on

From S.s- co--~po-i,r. Of 1ro T1bunsl

Albany. April 30. The amount 20 be
raised by direct tax this year. Sl2,S43,-
$50, became known tonight when the
financial chairman Of the Legislature
introduced a bill providing for tax
81 the rate OF los mills or the dollar.
The proceeds will pay the annual con-
trihutions TO the state sinking funds.
Senator Elon X. Brown, majority
leader of the Senate, estimated few
DAYS ago that the states expenditures
would amount to $4,000, 900 this year.
He also figured the states indirect rev.
enueS would an. cunt TO about $4,000
O0O. leaving $30.0oo,000 to be raised
from new sources.
On Thursday, The. the Mills new
business tax bill was passed, Senator
Brown said that the revenue from this
source would yield about 100000,
leaving the states share Of this levy
about S24,000,00O. 1t developed to-
night. however. that, in spite OF the
elaborate statements on the Senate
floor during the debate on the Mills
bill. the financial experts Of the Legs
lature are counting upon only q little
more than S10,000,000 as the states
share of the tax on mercantile and
manufacturing corporations.
This estimate of only $4,000. 900
from the business tax. instead of S2i.-
OOO. 600. as was estimated on the Senate
floor when the bill was passed, brings
the revenue and expense figures to
Senator Browns estimate OF S8O,OOO,OOO
each. But if the predictions in the
Senate are true. the direct tax of S2l,-
S43 600 S24.O00.000 from the business
tax. S5.000.000 from new liquor taxes

Mr. Braun explained that his only
knowledge Of the attributed statement
had come through Or. Mulot's letter.
DR.. Z. e. Seyfarth, president of the
Arion Society, said he had not been Of
ficially informed of the controversy.
Mr.. Metz gave the impression when
he was seen yesterday that he was OPP
posed TO all wars and held international
brotherhood theories. He ls citizen
and American born. and friend cited
in his defence last night that he had
also refused TO play die Wacht am
Rhein" and other strictly national airs:

said 10 DR.. Mulot," Mr.. Metz said. 1T
was only a personal discussion. and |

Mulot is of French descent and very
excitable. When he requested the play
ing of The StarSpangled Banner |
told him that the programme had been

Planned to Bomb
Way to Fortune,
Police Allege
Two Men Were to Plant Ex'
plosive in Wall Street,
Detectives Say
By BRIGGS

Wolf Hrsch and George Meyrnger
were not carrying out the details Of
any far-reaching German plot, the po-
lice say. when they started up the
stairs of tho Fifty-ninth Street station
OF the Sixth Avenue elevated last night.
Yet Hirsch carried under his coat what
had once been an innocent two-pound
cocoa tin. but was now a bomb by
virtue OF two-foot fuse that pro-
truded from one end of the picric acid,
acetic acid and ether that it contained.
According to the detectives Of Cap
tain Tunney's bomb squad, who grasped
the two Germans as they were ascend
ing the stairs, Hirsch and Meyringer
were just going out on private bomb
ing expedition of their own. They
were going to knock the bottom out OF
the stock market, it is alleged, with
the internal machine that they had
manufactured in the Hartman Re-
search Laboratory at Roosevelt Hos
pital, where they are employed.
The police insisted that so far as they
knew neither of the pair had the in
tention of endangering the life of any
one. The whole affair, they said was
simply little bombing raid on the
market.
Police Tell Plan
This, according to detectives, is the
plan of the expedition: Hirsch and
Meyringer were to plant the bomb
somewhere on Wall Street and retire
before it exploded. They believed that
when the market opened to-day many
brokers would decide that the exchange
was no place for them, and would sell
short and leave. And then the bomb
makers would turn into frenzied ilnan-
ciers and buy while the market was low,
selling out at a profit when the Street
recovered from its scare.
At Headquarters, where the pair
were taken, charged with having a
bomb in their possession, each accused
the other of starting the plot. Meyrin-
ger said that it was all Hirsch's scheme.
Hirsch. on the other hand, blamed
Meyrlnger.
Planned to Tap Wire
In his statement to the police Hlrsch
is quoted as saying that Meyrlnger was
telegraph operator and had planned
to tap wire and send messages to
brokers all over the country calling
attention 10 the outrage and predict
ing similar bomb explosions in their
vicinity. In this way, it is said, the
pair hoped to cause nationwide
panic. by which they intended to profit.
According to detectives, Meyringer
had dabbled in Wall Street before ard
lost several thousand dollars when the
leak on Germany's peace note drove
prices down.
Inspector owen Egan. Of the Bureau
Of Combustibles, examined the bomb
at Headquarters lie found that the
fuse was a piece of rope, saturated
with ether.
81 don't know how much damage IT
would have done" he said, but 1t
would have made terrific noise"
Both Of the explosive spectators are
natives of Germany.
