Despite the damaging evidence COL

that he ever entered the apartments of
the girl.
This lack of convincing information

today, forces a continuance of an ele-
ment of mystery in the case. Coupled
to this is the lack of a known motive.

Miss Colbert refused to meet the man
at first, but later an appointment was
made, the police say. 1t was also stated
that this woman can show that Lewis
and the model met at an automobile
show held here year ago.
Marie Collins, an intimate friend of
Miss Colbert, told Captain of Detectives
Tate that she never heard her speak of
Lewis, although she was acquainted
with every man that had ever visited

Unanimous Action Taken.

The resolution presented by DR..
Vaughan was unanimously adopted, as
was that offered by DR.. Arthur Law
Of the University of Minnesota calling
for congressional action.
The latter resolution asks that pro-
vision be made without delay for es-
tablishment of units of the Reserve
Oficers' Training Corps at civil medical
schools and colleges, and that such
notifications of the army act of June 3,
1916. should be made by law at the cur
rent session of Congress as may be
necessary to the full accomplishment
of that purpose.
The resolution also asks that provi-
sion be made for the stationing of medi-
cal officers of the army at centers of
medical education. and suggests that
in framing legislation hereafter pre-
scribing the general compulsory train
ing of citizens toward the national de-
fense provision should be Incorporated

sufficient proportion of citizens for
medical service in war, including train
ing in military medicine and sanitary

that line on the Danube end, and its
capture weakens the eastern flank of
the Sereth position. Galatz. likewise
on the Danube, lies just behind the
Sereth line. and that town now is
menaced by a German-Bulgarian move
ment across the Danube from it in
Dobrudja, made possible by the Rus
sian evacuation Of the province.
Unable to Check Foe.
1t is not only here, however, that the
Sereth line is threatened. for despite
tenacious defense by the Russians
and Rumanians. the line northwest
ward beyond the Buzeu river is not
holding well against the Teutonic
pressure, while the efforts to keep the
Teutons in check in the Moldavian
frontier valleys is apparently proving
still less successful
A break in this line on the southerly
front would imperil the Moldavian
frontier position. while the piercing of
the frontier line itself. not an apparent
improbab biIty, would endanger the en-
tire line running southwestward to the
Danube.
In these circumstances commentators
in entente capitals are considering the
possibility of the Russians being COM

Found Advances Defense.

LONDON, January 6.-The capture Of
Braila by Field Marshal Won Mackensen
is discussed by the morning papers in
reference to its probable effect on the
Russian defense of the Sereth line.
Braila formed the advanced defense
toward the eastern end of this line.
Some of the commentators fear that
the fall Of the town may seriously
shake the whole Russian -Rumanian
position on the Sereth and may mean
the abandonment of that front and the
withdrawal to the Russian frontier, or
perhaps beyond 1t into Bessarabfa. In
the meantime the German effort to turn
the line from the west Is being pressed
with an apparent prospect of success.

the work of repairing the damage In
the Rumanian oil districts has advanced
so far that some works may resume

LIST OF TAXABLES
FURNISHED SENATE
Treasury Department Submits
Articles on Which Revenue
May Be Raised.
LEFT UP TO CONGRESS

The Senate finance committee has
been furnished with a long list of ar
ticles and items by the Treasury De-
partment upon which taxes of one
kind or another might be levied to raise
more revenue to meet the expected
deficit at the close Of the next fiscal
year.
Senator Simmons. chairman Of the
finance committee. stated emphatically
that the Secretary of the Treasury had
made no recommendation that this or
that article or item be taxed, that the
list was submitted merely for the con-
sideration and Information of the COM
mittee, which would need such infor-
nation when it came time to work
upon a tariff law.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-06
Some Articles in List.

The list includes increased income
and inheritance taxes, stamp taxes
such as were imposed under the orig
ina1 emergency revenue law two years
ago and repealed by the existing law.
internal revenue taxes on liquors and
tobacco. a production tax on sugar,
proposed tariff taxes or increased taxes
on wool. rubber, coffee and a large
number of other articles. The list car
ries with it estimates of just what
revenue might be derived from the
imposition of the various taxes.
While the revenue legislation must
originate in the House, and the House
ways and means committee already is
giving consideration to the matter, the
Senate committee is planning to be
ready for work on the measure when it
reaches the Senate.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1917-01-06
Revenue Legislation Necessary.

Senator Simmons said that it ap-
peared necessary to enact further reve-
nue. legislation to meet the expendi-
lures Of the government. He said.
however. that if it had not been for the
vast increases in appropriations made
for the army and navy, the Treasury
would not now be face to face with a
deficit, but that the Underwood-Sim-
mons tariff law would have rolled up a
surplus by this time.
There is considerable doubt, Senator
Simmons said, as to the possibility Of
passing a new revenue law along with
other important legislation on the ad-
ministration's program and the appro-
priation bills before the close Of the
present short session of Congress.
"It may be that we will have to have
an extra session of Congress in the
spring." said Senator Simmons.
