LEGISLATORS MARK
 TIME WHILE AWAITING
 NEW WAR ESTIMATES
Increased Levies on Income and War Excess Profits Considered Probable to Meet Demand for More Funds.
tBy Review Leased wirel.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-While awaiting the forthcoming estimates of 5000, ,OO0,0 ,00O or more under prepara- tion by the executive departments to cover war expenses, senate finance committee members discussed inform ally today how great part of the to- tai should be raised by taxation and on what commodities the increases should fall.
 Several senators predicted that the present s1.67O, ,OO0OOO total of the bill would be increased to at least S2.OO.- 000,000 with an authorization to cover additional expenses by new bond issue. Others favored a greater in crease in taxes and less bonds or in debtedness certificates. Most leaders apparently were resigned to a fur ther increase of not less than several hundred million dollars.
 The general feeling seems to be against any basic change in the bill Committee leaders apparently favor securing the additional taxes by in creased levies on income and war ex- cess profits, with addition of a few. but comparatively minor tax sources. Protests against various features Of the excess profits sections were re- ceived by the committee at its infor- nal session today. A delegation ot railroad representatives. including A. H. Thom. general counsel for the na- tional railroads legislative body. ar gued that the country would be more benefited, in view of transportation needs, to have the railroads use their surplus in betterments and extensions rather than to pay it in taxes. A num- Der of merchants and manufacturers, headed by President Simmons of the Simmons Hardware Company, St. Louis, urged reduction from so to 60 per cent of the war excess profits tax.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Attacks in the senate today upon the S27, ,000, ,00O rvers and harbors bill centered in an indictment by several senators of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, which maintains headquarters III Washington and carries on an active campaign for waterways improvement.
 Senators Kenyon of Iowa and Jones of Washington, republicans, and King of Utah. democrat, led in the criticism of the organizations activities whict were vigorously defended by Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, democrat, for many years president of the water ways congress.
 That back fires" have been set in their home states against certain sen ators and representatives by those in- terested in the organizations pfopa ganda, was charged by Senators Ken yon and Jones. Senator King declar ed he could see no difference between the activities of the rivers and har- bOrs congress and that of other or ganizations criticized for illegitimatc lobbying.
 Senator Ransdell protested that the organizations efforts have been alons strictly legitimate, open and public lines. and declared that no one con nected with it had ever been charged with lobbying among members of con gress.
 Senator Kenyon made a long speech against the appropriation bill, point ing out the many small creeks anC rivers with neglibile commerce for which appropriations are proposed.

SWEDISH MILITARY
 OFFICERS PAY IS
 NOT SATISFACTORY
(By Review Leased Wirel.

STOCKHOLM. July 267-To one who desires to make financial success of his life, the career of officer in the Swedish army offers little inducement. The discussion attending a movement to increase the pay of officers has been pointed by the following instance, which is declared to be average and typical.
 The officer in question served three years as second lieutenant without pay. and five years more in the same grade at s144 year He was then for five years first lieutenant at S2S0 a year, then for seven years regimens tai adjutant at S367 yearly, and five years regimental quartermaster at S56S yearly.
 At the age of 46, after 25 years ser vice, he became captain and. received s906 year for IF years. For the next four years he received as major the yearly pay of S1,405. and then be came lieuteiant colonel at S1.750. His retirement pension was S96O a year
 The officers cannot of course. sup port themselves and buy their uni forms on their pay. They must either have independent incomes. make a rich marriage or else devote their lit tie spare time to profit-bringing out side work.

HOUSE AND SENATE SPLIT OVER FOOD
 CONTROL MEASURE
Bill Is Still Far From Being Passed by Either Legislative Body - Prohibition Provi- sion May Be Strengthened.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, July .25.-The ac- ministration food control bill was sen. to conference by the house today with blanket instructions to disagree 10 all senate amendments. Thirty-one Re publicans joined in supporting a spe- cial rule shutting of debate, and after that Republican Leader Mann's op- vote on the amendment creating a con- gressional war expenditures commit tee, collapsed completely.
 In view of President Wilson's an nounced opposition to the war expen- ditures committee, which he main- tains would embarrass him in the con duct of the war administration lead CTS are certain that they can eliminate it. The proposal to have three food commissioners instead of one pro5a. will lead to a very stubborn fight since the presidents desire is that the amendment be changed to give the president a free hand in his food com trol program.
 Indications are that the senate pro hibition provisions may be greatly strengthened. At least five of the sev- en senate conferees are said to favor a bone-dry country and Chairman Lev CT of the conferees has promised the prohibition representatives that he will endeavor strenuously to retain the bone-dry plan for which the house voted.
 A compromise plan receiving much discussion would give the president power to limit the use of foodstuffs in light wines and beer when he believes it necessary and provide for the re distillation of all spirits both in and

FUEL FAMINE IN
 CALIFORNIA MAY
 TIE UP INDUSTRY
Southern Pacific Officials De- clare They Could Make Sit uation Less Tense If Given Federal Permission.

It is not yet too late for the federal government to avert the threatened fuel famine in California, but relief legislation must be enacted quickly if disaster is to be avoided. This is the view of well informed captains of in dustry in the Golden state who say that consumption of crude oil in Cali fornia is now 6O,00O barrels a day above production.
 The recent testimony of w. R. Scott, vice president and general manager of the Southern Pacific company to the effect that his road would have to discontinue some of its trains within a short time unless the situation i'm proved, has caused many large indus tries to wake up to the seriousness of the problem. The Southern Pacific is using 45,000 barrels of fuel oil a day, which is nine to twelve thousand more barrels a day than it can buy or pro duce. Its entire reserve will soon be exhausted, and the reduction in train service must then follow of necessity.
 Meanwhile the richest o:i- fields in the west are denied to producers on the theory that navy to be built five years from now may need the supply Transportation men point out that the need five years from now could not be any greater than that which exists now with the country at war and American industries striving to supp,y half the world.
 As a simple war measure, the gov ernment could hardly do less than

out of bond. Senate provisions now in the bill would not touch wine and beer and contemplate only the re-dis- tillation of bonded liquors.
 Whether the s2 bushel minimum for wheat will remain in the bill is en- tirely problematical. The house con ferees will make hard fight against it. The conferees on the control bill are Senators Gore, Chamberlain. Smith of South Carolina, Smith of Georgia, Kenyon, Warren and Page, and Repre- sentatives Lever of South Carolina, Lee, Gee, Georgia; Candler, Missis- sippi; Hefflin, Alabama; Haugen, Iowa; Mclaughlin, Michigan, and An derson, Minnesota.

permit the Southern Pacific to supply its fuel needs from it's own lands pend ing litigation. Every barrel of oil which the railroad buys in the open market by offering sums above the go- ing price means that some California industry will be short that amount of its fuel oil needs.

outside of any controversy that can arise about the matter. So are the others who received the messages; and that IS a point which 1 wish particularly to guard We, do not offer these messages as evidence either for or against spiritualsm, tel epathy, or any sort of oocultism. We know nothing about it. The messages came without any voltion on our part, without any conscious assistance from US, and without any eredulity to influence, us toward an unconscious assistance. We received them slIeptically, 1rresponsibly with curiosity, but with no convictions
 about their origin or their accuracy. I am publishing them in that spirit. They are evidence of-what? I do not know l do not wish to offer evidence and at the same time act as the judge
 and jury on that evidence. I merely of fer the evidence.
 But it seems to me that this evidence is important: that these messages offer
 crucial test of much that has been
 published about communications from the dead If they are true messages to liv- ing people, it seems difficult to doubt the realty of conscious existence after death If they are unture, then it is possible for any person innocently to invent
 names, addresses, personalities. involved stories and convincing details of all sorts from his subconscious imagination, and to impose upon his own conscious mind and the conscious minds of others by unconsciously reproducing these inven-
 tions as messages from another world. Either the messages are true messages, or the human mind is so tricky that no merely colorable evidence of immortality such as that offered in Patience Worth" for instance-can be accepted
 as proof of existence after death
