SCHOONER GLYNN
IS SOLD IN ITALY
OWNER j. S. BRAiLEY HAS MADE
DEAL AND ASKS SANCTION
BY SHIPPING BOARD.

The good schooner Glynn may
never return to her home port!
Indeed, she may spend the rest of
her life in war-tossed, yet Sunny Italy
The fact of the matter is, the Bruins
wick built schooner, the first one to
point the way to the great era of
shipbuilding now under way in Bruins
wick, has been sold in Italy. Of
course, the sale cannot be consum-
mated without the consent of the
United States Shipping Board, but
Owner j. S. Bradley has a customer
for her in Italy. He has been offer
ed a splendid price for the vessel and
he has asked the consent of the board
to sell her If the consent is granted
and the chances are that it will be,
then the Glynn will have to renounce
her native land and swear allegiance
to the land of King Alexander.
Mr.. Bradley expects an answer from
the board in few days, and, if sat
isfactory, then the deal will be closed
by cable

Sentiment in Favor of a Heavy
Tax on War Profits is
Growing.
THE MILLIONAIRES MUST PAY
Several Senators Make Drastic
?
SuggestiOns-JOhnSOn Would
Take Eighty Per Cent OF the
Profits.

Washington, Aug Widespread
sentiment in the senate in favor OF
adding to the total Of the war tax bill
by imposing higher rates on war prof
it's and incomes taxes, received a new
impetus in the debate in the senate
today. 1t marked the third week OF
the discussion of the measure, and in
dicationS now point to the fact thai
the bill will be delayed another week.
Several more days discussion was
promised the important and disputed
questions remaining wal
profits, consumption and publishers
taxes.
Before the senate discussion began
today, the finance committee met and
decided not to resort to cloture to
expedite the bill During the next
few days, however, Chairman Sim
mons expects to ask that date bc
fixed for final vote on the prominent
questions in controversy. Senator
Williams, of Mississippi, today urged
the committee to initiate cluture, but
virtually was alone in its support.
Senator LaFollettes speech in ia
vor of increasing income and war
profits levies, planned for today, was
postponed until tomorrow.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico
spoke today IN support of his plan
to tax corporations undistributed sur
plus.
Senator Jones criticised the net in
come tax provision, declaring that
in his opinion, it is a radical depar
ture fro mthe principle of equality
He said that under its provisions the
individual must pay more in proper
ton than the corporation, and termed
this a colossal injustice"
Senator Johnson, of California, was
pronounced in his advicocay of the
tax on profits and incomes. He sug
gested that the government take g.
per cent of the war profits and hal
of the income of millionaires, as the,
do in Great Britain.
