The new estimates. including $780,
100000 additional for the shipping
board and $1OO,OOO.0G0 for the navy
department, are to be submitted to
the committee late this week. Then
there will begin another revision of

resulting in an increase of the bills
gross tax levy by from $350,0OO,OOO to
$1,500,000,000. Further credits may
also authorized in the form OF
bonds or Indebtedness certificates.
Besides the additional sums needed
for the American war program, Sec
rotary McAdoo told the senate COM
mittee that the $3,0OO,OOO,0O0 author
ICED for loan to the allies probably
would last only until October, and
that about $2,0OO,0O0.00O for their
further assistance would be needed.
Provision for this, however, is not
pIap1ed in connection with the pend
ingTsyenue legislation.
J To Increase Tax Bill.
The secretary made no recommend
alton as to what part OF the total
should be raised by taxes and what
part by bond issues or other credits.
1t was reported, however, that the
treasurey department would favor
raising $1,OOO,OO0,O00 more than had
been planned in taxes, making the tax
bill total $2,6tO,0OO,00O.
As to the tax sources to be tapped

warning and the first disposition was
to turn to new taxes on war excess
profits and incomes.
There are many great sources OF
revenue open for great and rlcn
people like u.s." said Chairman Sim
mons, but he would not predict what
the committee would do.
At the meeting a resolution was
adopted calling for submission OF new
estimates by all departments, so that
the whole war expenditure program
may be considered in connection with
the pending war tax legislation. The
ST, 900, 100000 army increases, Secre-
tary McAdoo informed the commit
tee are largely to provide for the Sec
ond draft army of 100000 men, to be
called while the first 100000 are und-
err training. The $4,000, 100000 would
provide for expenditures until July /,

During today's debate on the rivers
and harbors bill, Senator Smoot pre-
scented statistics to show that appro-
nriations of the war session already
aggregate $9,226,O0O,000. so that the
new estimates would raise the total
for the first year Of the war well
above $14,000,000,000.

Coleman. Texas, May "a verdict
Of guilty of murder was returned to-
night by the jury in the case of Har-
ry J. Spaniel, charged with the kill
ing of Lieut.. Col. NJ. C. Butler. Pun
ishment was fixed at five years i'm
prisonment.
Spaniel all but collapsed when the
verdict was read. Counsel for the
defense announced a motion for
new trial would be filed Immediately
and if it were not granted, an appeal
would be taken. The plea for re-
versal, they said, would be based
specifically upon the refusal of the
court to sustain defense's plea of
former acquittal." Spanell was in
dicted at Alpine, Texas, for the al
legged killing of his wife and Lieut..
Col. Butler on the night of July 20,
1915. The charge of killing his wife,
Mrs. Crystal Holland Spanell, was
tried at San Angelo, Texas, last Feb
ruary, on a change of venue. Span
ell was acquitted and the case
against him for killing Butler was
brought to Coleman county. The
trial here began Monday, April %.
