Identified By Victim as His
ASS a lant:. Mystery Sur
rounds Red Hill Attack:
Prisoner Refuses to Speak

WJO. Ito, a Japanese, salesman for
the Schumann Carriage company, is in

Japanese last night as his ,assaflant.
No motive has been ascertained Tor
the shooting. Buick refuses to make
any statement to the detectives who
are investigating the case.
According to the story told by Ito
after he had been brought to the emer.
gency hospital, he had picked up a
passenger at Hotel and River streets
about IL o'clock last night, with In
|structions to proceed to Aiea. Near
the water tank at Red Hill the Japa-
nese declared that his fare ordered
him to stop the car. Ito did 50, ana
the next thing he was aware OF the
MESSENGER struck him over the head
and then shot him. The passenger,
evidently frightened by what he had
done, took to his heels and disap-
peared in the rear Of the water tank.
An incoming auto picked up, the Japa-
nese and brought him to the eTner-
Egency hospital. The driver Of the in.
bound car declares he saw the pas
senger. running into the bushes. Seven
dollars was found on the seat beside

The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-09-01

New plans for eradicating the sting
of the U-boat are under way. The best
naval minds of America and the entente
powers are at work devising additional
methods of curling its power. Among
the latest suggestions is that zones $50
miles in area be marked off in the neigh
borhood of German submarine bases, and
that airships, warcraft, mines, and all
other devices be employed to force the
undersea vessels to remain submerged,
so that their ability to strike merchant
men and other surface craft be limited
to the torpedo. Inasmuch as the speed
Of U-boats is greatly decreased beneath
the waves, the chances of getting with
in range of their prey are also greatly
diminished. New kinds of bombs have
been devised which. it is said. may prove
effective in combating the subsea fight
ers. Convovs also have shown their
value, and American warships in this di
rection have performed remarkably well
1t is reported tina. less than one-half OF
one per cent of the vessels conveyed
have been sunk.

A new view of the obligations of
those who are slated to furnish the
government with sinews of war in the
form of excess profits taxes is found
in the following opinion expressed by a
young man recently drafted for military
service: "Why shouldn't the corpora
lions pay for the war IN going to fight
for them? Why shouldn t they pay
over big part of their excess profits
to the government? l have a position
which is paying me more than $500 a
month. I'm to give this up for $50 a
month in the army. In other words,
the government is taxing me about 1920
month. | say I'm paying an excess
profits tax, and why should the corpora
tions, which in the end will gain by
the successful conclusion of the war, be
peeved because the government is go
ing to make them foot the bill for I'll
innate victory?'
