FORCED Arbitration IN
THE VENEZUELAN affair
AGREE ON WAR TAX BILL
Conferees Add $780, ,0O0,00O to
Measure.
Work on $4,000, 600, 900 Bill Ends and
IL ls Sent to Printer-Few
Levy Changes.

Washington, Sept. 28.-The war tax
bill, increased to raise about $2,70O,-
100000 federal revenue, In addition to
81 1,333, 100000 secured under existing
law, was completed late yesterday by
the senate and house confereeS.
After two weeks deliberatiOn the
conferees reached agreement on the
bill-the largest in American history
and in the making four months-and
sent the revised draft to the printer.
Presentation Of the conference re-
port to the house late today is
planned. 1t will be considered first
by the house and the bill's enactment
into law next week is regarded as
sured.
Additional taxes Of between $780,
10000 and S3OO,OO0,000 over the sen
ate bill, which totaled $2,416OOO,OO,
were added by the conferees. AS
passed by the house the total was ST.
S6S, 100000
Senate levies of $1,060,OOO,000 on
war excess profits and $S42, 100000 on
incomes were substantially unchanged,
the conference increases being divid-
ed among many items, with few
new taxes added. and many eliminated
house provisions restored.
A minimum exemption Of per cent
on invested corporate capital Is said
to be provided, with modified allow
ances for intangible assets.
The only change in the senate in
come tax section was to rearrange and
harmonlze a few graduated surtaxes
on incomes over $4,000, without sub
stantial change in revenue returns or
individual taxation. Normal taxes on
individuals and corporations, and the
lowered individual exemptions as re-
vised in the senate were approved.
Liquor and tobacco sections Of the
senate draft also were practically un-
changed, although a slight decrease in
revenues from whisky and manufac-
tured tobacco probably will result.
OF the S250,O00,OOO to 100000, 600
additional agreed to by the conferees,
about one-third was placed upon post
age. The house one-cent letter tax,
estimated to raise s7O,OOOOOO, which
was stricken out by the senate was re-
stored by the conferees, and their
agreement for a graduated zone in
crease on second class mail rates Is eS-
timated to raise some millions more.
Another large increase ordered was
in passenger transportation and Pull
man accommodation taxes.
The senate provision exempttng NOV
| ing picture theaters charging 25 cents
| or less from taxation was changed and
provision made for exempting only
much cheaper theaters. The exact ex-
emptiOns have not been disclosed.
Revenues from automobiles, patent
| medicines, perfumes and cosmetics and
other manufactures also would be in
| creased by the conferees' agreement.
Among important house provisions
abandoned were the retroactive tax on
| 1916 incomes, estimated to raise $108,
100000 for general 10 per cent tariff
levy, estimated to raise 100000, 900
and consumption taxes on gas, electric
| and local telephone service, estimated
to bring in S30soo0OOO.

GERMANS GET u. S. SECRET
More Than Ninety lnterned at Ellis
Island Until War Ends.

New York, Sept. 28.-Today safely
interned on Ellis island for the dura-
tion Of the war are ninety-odd Ger
mans who are believed to have a me-
chanical secret of vital Importance to
this country and, therefore, one Of ex-
treme interest to Germany. That is
the net result Of the joint activities
Of the navy department and police
headquarters In Greater New York
during the last "a hours. It develops
that the federal authorities did not
contemplate, as was first thought, the
wholesale arrest and 1nternment of
enemy aliens. It was dealing with a
particular situation. What moved the
government to act was the theft by
German spies Of the plans and finished
parts Of one of the most destructive
engines Of war that has been evolved
by American genius. All the Germans
arrested were either employees OF the
factory where the invention Is being
perfected or Germans who were the
associates Of these employees.

tive Thomas Hef1in of Alabama broke
the Bernstorff $4,000 slush fund scan
da1 wide open In the house. He named
five legislators and demanded informa-
tion OF what connection they had, II
any, with prO-German activities.
With his startling accusations he re-
moved Immediately all doubt Of con-

cused, he named these:
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
Representative Fred A. Br1tten Of Chi
cago, Representative William E. Mason
OF Chicago, Representative Patrick D.
Norton OF North Dakota, Representa-
tive John NJ. Baer of North Dakota.
The names were brought out by
Hef1in when he appeared before the
house rules committee, which is con-
sidering resolutions offered by Norton
and Fordney Of Michigan, to probe the
Bernstorff fund and its application to
congress.
Immediate Inquiry Urged.
When word came he had mentioned
these five sentiment demanding imme-
diate and exhaustive inquiry spread
through the house membership.
It the rules committee reports the
resolution it will go through in a hur-
ry. If the resolution is not reported
soon any one of several members is
likely to rise to point of highest priv
ilege and force either Hefin's proof or
his expulsion from the house.
OF the men named, four were in
Washington. Senator La Toilette de-
clined to answer questions concerning
the Hsfin charges. Norton Britten
and Baer issued warm retorts. Mason
was In Chicago.
HefIin's Open Charges.
In an tmpassioned speech, Hef1in de-
manded that the rules committee ask
for general investigation 80 that he
might learn:
l. Where the nancy came from that
produced literature supporting the anti
draft bill Of Representative Mason.
2. Where the money came from that
produced literature supporting the
Bntten resolution to exempt German
Americans from military service
abroad.
3. What congressman are planning
to line up with the nonpartisan league
that elected Baer and which is said to
oppose the war.
4. Who are in the organization "La
Toilette is championing that will leave
the president without an army"
8. Why Norton insists on turning
the proposed slush fund investigation
against him, Heflin.
Mr.. Norton was present at the COM
mittee meeting while Hefiin was MAX
ing his speech. Saying he under
stood several congressman wanted him
expelled because he mentioned sus-
picious members, Hefin turned to Nor
ton and dared him to vote for the ex-
pulsion.
"I'I have something to say about
you before the investigation committee
If 1t is created" Hef1in declared, fac
ing Norton.
Heflin then demanded a committee
to thrash out the whole Bernstorff
slush fund story.
