BARTLETT WIRES THE
 EXPEDITION IS SAFE

NEW YORK, (Via Halifax radio) Aug. 23.-It is announced that the Crockerland expedition is now safe ly departed from Etah where they have been stranded since 1913.
 Two years ago the relief ship Cluett under Dr. E. O. Hovey that went to the relief of this expedition which was headed by Donald MacMillan, succeeded in reaching Etah and rescued the expedition. He brought away four members of the expedition and most of the records but the boat was disabled in North Star Bay.
 The. Crockerland Committee there upon sent another ship to bring back both expeditions and the steamer Denmark was commissioned for that purpose. These plans mis-

SENATE WILL MOT
 ALLOW BIC TAX

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 23.- Tho Senate has still before 1t the Revenue Bill. Whatever alarm was manifested in higher financial and industrial circles by the apparent intention to restore the taxes upon excess profits, these were set at rest today in the course Of the debate and the vote upon the Lafollotte re- solution.

tions of the Finance Committee by an increased taxation of excess pro fits.
 It was early seen that this would be defeated, for while a good many of the senators let it be known that they were in sympathy with the principle of the amendment they would vote against it.
 The supporters Of the amendment. of the Wisconsin senator had a field day of figures showing the enorm- ous profits arising for the owners of the various industries engaged in
