BOTH PARTIES OPPOSE FEA.
TURES OF TAX BILL

Washington, April 29-UnofIicial ac-
counts of the House Ways and Means
subcommittee framing the war tax
bill have aroused something of a
storm among both Democrats and Re-
publicans. Democrats are understood
to be divided on the proposed income
taxes, particularly the rates on in
comes of more than 100000, while
Republicans threaten trouble over the
subcommittee plans for taxes on
excess profits and incomes: They al
so promise to make fight for tariff
legislation to raise part of the ST.
500 100000 or more to be provided
during the coming year.
The objection of many Republican
and Democratic members are based
on unofficial statements of the tcpta-
tive draft on which the Subcommittee
has worked more than week, always
with an effort to avoid publicity in
order to evade protest of those on
whom taxes should be levied.
Even members of the full commit
tee are without authoritative infor-
nation as to full details of the draft
which is to be presented at meet

Of unrestricted submarine warfare

100000 tons was sunk by the Ger

secretary of the interior, told the
Reichstag- Main committee yesterday
Asserting that the submarine cam

100000, of which more than 1000,
900 was British
Perception of economic conditions

fact that the British government
since the beginning of unrestricted

VICTIMS WAR PARADE
AGAINST SEPARATE PEACE

Petrograd, via London, April %
An anti-pacifist procession composed
of some 1000 manned, bandaged and
convalescent soldiers on foot or in
motor lorries, assembled this morn
ing outside the Cathedral, despite the
keen frost, and paraded the streets to
the strains of "The Marsellaise. y
Scores of one-legged men, bearing
military decorations, bravely hobbled
along on their crutchos, while many
others were glad to accept the help
ing arms of nurses. The banners car
ried in the procession bore inscrip-
tons inviting "Lenine and Company
to get back to William
The procession augmented quickly
on its way to the, Duma building and
by the time it had reached the Amer
lean embassy there were tens OF
thousands of persons in line. David
r. Francis, the American ambassa-
dor, delivered several addresses from
the balcony. Mr.. Francis said the
joy of 100000 900 American freemen in
the attainment of Russia was second
only to the joy of the Russians them
selves. Russia and the United States,
he added, were fighting shoulder to
shoulder for the vindication Of hui
man rights. He said he could not
imagine the possibility of a separate
peace by Russia, which would involve
the loss of all the Russian people had
gained.
Nickolai Lenine, the Radical So
cialist leader, who recently has been
intimately connected with the at
tempt to bring about separate peace
for Russia and for whom the in
scription on the banners in the pa
rade referred, was to have attended {
great meeting of troops in the drill
hall of the grenadier guards yester
day but did not appear.

LINER BRINGS MANY STRANDED
AMERICANS

New York, April ga Norwegian
steamship, the first passenger liner to
leave a Scandinavian port for the
United States since the early part OF
February, arrived here today with l.
165 persons on board. A number of
the passengers were Americans,
stranded in Denmark, Norway and
Sweden when sea traffic was inter-
rupted by the German submarine de-
claration of January 81.
The ship called at Halifax where
the passengers were subjected to ex-
animation by British authorities be-
fore being allowed to proceed. Among
the Americans ON the ship were a
number of physicians, who has been
working in German and Austrian hos
pitfalls. They left those countries sim
ultaneously with the departure of
Ambassador Gerard from Berlin. They
said that rigid censorship now pre-
walls on all news out of Germany and
no word of the labor troubles, recent
ly reported, had reached them.
The food situation in Germany, one
American said, was tight but moi
serious" Due to the policy of con-
servation set on foot by Germany al
the beginning of the war, he added
that 1t would be hard matter tc
starve the country into submission
Passengers from Norway and Den
mark reported that there was no sui.
fering from food shortage in those
countries.

WOMEN STEADY WORKERS

1t used to be said that women could
not be depended upon like men to
work steadily, and consequently,
ought not to expect so much pay
as men employed at similar work.
While it would be foolish for any
young woman to stay at work when
physically unfit, it is believed that
most women now continue at their
work as constantly as men, Any
woman who is unable to do so, should
take Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, the old, reliable medicine
for woman, and get the aid she needs
to enable her to keep at work.

Hugh D. Grant vs. Robert Fl. Jack
Rescript. King. J.
l. It is a readily observable fact that
typewriting machine develops by use
some defects or irregularities in the
alignment or position of its type. or IN
other features. and that such defects or
irregularities are inevitably disclosed by
the work produced upon such machine.
2 Since it is not probable that any one
of such defects or irregularities would
occur in precisely the same way in two
machines. and that It Is well-nigh impos-
sible that two or more Of them should
do so, 1t is now we'll recognized that a
typewriting machine may possess an in
dividuallty which differentiates it from
other typewriting machines, and which
ic recognizable through the character OF
the work which 1t produces.
3. Inasmuch as the work produced up
on a typewrting machine affords the
readiest means OF identifying the ma
chine. no valid reason is perceived why a
proven specimen Of It's work should not
be received in evidence for purposes of
comparison with other typewriter mat
ter alleged to have been produced upon
the same machine.
4. II q proven specimen Of work pro-
duced upon certain typewriter CORE
spends idenucally with q disputed speci-
men in all Of several defects, irregulari-
ties and imperfections Of the work, that
fact would be pertinent and material to
the question whether the disputed speci-
men was produced upon the same type
writer.
s. IN support Of his action the plain
tin undertook TO prove that the defendant
was one Of n number OF men who unlaw-
fully entered upon his premises In tho
evening OF February % 1915 and presented
to hin, a threatening letter written upon
typewriter, AS bearing on the ereti.
