Kitchin's Program.

Mr. Kitchin said that II IT is finally
decided to take up the revenue ques-
tion at this session public hearings
would be held. and it probably would
take the House two months to dis
pose of the bill. He said il a tax
bill were passed at this session as
per cent of additional taxes would
be levied upon incomes and excess
profits.
Regardless Of the administration
decision, it is probable bill en-
bodying many of the Treasury's ideas
for higher rates on excess profits
and incomes and for extension Of
taxes to a wide variety of luxuries
and less essential materials will be
introduced within a few weeks.

CHARGES REPEATED
AT GODSOL HEARING
Ex-SoIdier Accused by France
of Profiteering Will Make
Denial.
DISPOSITIONS ARE READ

Hearing was commenced today be-
fore Justice Hitz of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia on
the complaint of Ambassador JUS
serand, which asks for the extradition
to France of Frank ]. Godsol.
former French soldier, charged with
defrauding the French government
out of s1,500,000. in connection with
the purchase of automobile trucks for
war use.
Today's session was occupied with
the opening statements of counsel for
the prosecution and for the accused !:
with testimony as to the identity of
Godsol. and with the reading of depo-
sitions in support of the charges of
alleged false representations by Cod
sol. The hearing will continue to-
morrow.
Unit I'd States Attorney Laskey out
lined the governments case against
Godsol. pointing out that he expected
to show Misrepresentation to the
and a studied plan to prevent the
communication of such representa-
tions to the French government by
means of which Godsors representa-
tive was made agent of the motor
company in Paris and the French
higher than it would have been re-
quired to do If no such contract ex-
listed.
To Deny Misrepresentation.
Attorney Joseph w. Bailey of coun-
sci for the French soldier declared
the defense expects to show that God
sol made no Misrepresentation to the
company's agent in Paris before the
signing of the contract of agency. He
said the record would disclose that
not only was the price of the trucks
not burdened to the French govern
ment. but that Godsol under his first
contract quoted a smaller figure and
under subsequent contracts asked no
more than the government had been
paying before he secured the agency.
These charges had all been investi-
gated by the French war office, Mr.
Bailey asserted, and a decision reach
ed that there was no ground for hold
ing Godsol.
Two special agents Of the Depart
ment Of Justice testified to the ar
rest of Godsol and to his admissions
of his identity and to statements that
he knew why they wanted him, and
that he had been awaiting their ar
rival.
The reading of dispositions was in
progress late this afternoon.

K|TCH|N NOT WON

House Leader Still Unable to

PRESIDENT is TO DECIDE

Majority Leader Kitchin OF the

into the congressional program at

Il haven't seen A thing that Secre-
tary McAdoo has done or a word that
he has said that indicates the neces-

President Wilson is to confer with
congressional leaders today on the
necessity of holding Congress in ses-
sion after July to pass new war rev.
enue legislation. The procedure to
be followed robably will be determined
by the Presidents decision, TO be made
after today's conference

| All the advice which Secretary Nc

] rect charge of administering the reve-
nue. law and of planning to meet fu-

He was told that by December or
January the government will need

Must Win War, Says Tener.
Large Majority Affected.

NEW YORK, May 23.-Oficials of
the local major league clubs were
loath to express opinions today re-
garding the effect Of possible draft
ing of their players for essential
war work. 1t was generally felt
that it was a matter for the heads
of the league to consider. and any
statements should properly come
from them.
So far as the National League is
concerned. the present roster of the
eight clubs aggregates 1856 players,
all but two Of the clubs being below
the limit allowed by the rules at
this period OF the season.
1t is estimated that IL the rule to
draft base ball players Of the Ma
tional and American leagues were
strictly enforced it would take from
20 to 80 per cent of the present per-
sonnel. with a heavier percentage in
the minor leagues.

Thinks Government Would Lose.

LOUISVILLE, KY. May 23.-'Tt is
hard to tell what would happen to the
American Association II the amend
ment to the selective service regula-
tions strictly were enforced" Presi-
dent o. H. Wathen said in statement.
Mr.. Wathen asserted that base ball
and racing paid more in revenue to
the government than all other sports
combined, and he believed that dras-
tically to curtail their activities would
prove a hardship to the government
out of proportion to the benefit the
country would receive through the
addition of man power from their ranks.
Mr.. Wathen gave 1t as his opinion
that the amended regulations were
not intended to cripple the sporting
interests involved and predicted that
no drastic action in that connection
would be taken.
The Louisville base ball club, he in
dicated. would be affected very little
by enforcement of the amendment.
which would extend to but three or four
players.
Must Win War, Says Tener.
PITTSBURGH. May 23.-"Every-
thing must be done to win this war;"
said President John X. Tener today
upon learning of the new order of
Provost General Crowder. and il base
ball is a sport as classified in this
new order and not a business in which
there is a great investment of money,
then base ball will not be behind 9TH
er interests in contributing its part
toward winning the war.
IF base ball is non-essential, and
players Of draft age have to give up
playing, the clubs will try to find
players that are not of draft age. and
If this cannot be done there is a pos
sibility that our ball parks will have
to be closed and the season be brought
to an end.

these, confident In their riding ability

demon whose hordes had so bitterly
