TOBACCO TAX IS AGREED UPON
 BY COMMITTEE
Heavy Increases on Present War Tax on Tobacco, Ciga- rettes and Cigars Decided Upon at Meeting
CBv Review Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2-Heavy in cTeases in the present war tax on to- bacco. cigars and cigarettes were agreed to today by the house ways and means committee as part of the new SS,O0OO00OOO revenue bill. The tax imposes three times the existing rates on some items for the schedule and is expected 10 raise approximately S340, 100000 in comparison with the present S16S,OO0,OO0 revenue from TO- baccO.
 Members of the committee today said all danger of delay is over and the bill will be in form to report when the house reassembles August 19. The committee went back today to the in come suTtax paragraphs and while there was no definite action it was evident there had been heavy in- creases in surtax rates
 There was also some discussion Of two plans to superimpose a strictly war profits tax on the excess profits tax, one of the plans being for a com plete supplemental tax, every dollar of which would be additional to the excess profits revenue, and the othe- an alternative proposition under which the treasury would impose either the excess profits tax or the war profits tax, but not both of them. The tax to be imposed would be that which would bring the larger revenue in each indi- vidual case.
 Today's action as to war taxes on tobacco was independent of the sDe- cial license tax on manufacture. or tobacco in which double the present tax was imposed On the basis of the annual sales.
 Chairman Kitchin made this state ment tonight:
 "The committee reached the follow ing tentative decision as to the tobac- co schedule:
 "On cigars weighing not more than three pounds per thousand tax in. creased from the present S1 per thou. sand to S2 per thousand: cigars weigh. ing more than three pounds per thou sand and retailing at not more than four cents each, increased from S3 to S5 per thousand; cigars retailing at more than four cents and not more than seven cents each, increased from S4 to S1O per thousand; cigars retail ing at more than seven cents each and less than fifteen cents each, increased from S6 to S15 per thousand: between fifteen and twenty cents each. in creased from SS to S20 per thousand; and those retailing at twenty cents or more, increased from S10 10 S3O per thousand
 Cigarettes weighing not more than three pounds per thousand and retail ing at less than two cents each. in- creased from S2.O5 to $5 per thousand: those of same weight retailing at two cents or more, increased from S2.O5

GERMANY SANK
 MILLION AND A
 HALF IN PAPER
Dr. RumeIy Brought Up for
 Hearing Testifies He Was
 for United States but With Germany Against England
CRv Review Leased WIrel

NEW YORK. Aug. 2-The German government sank an aggregate of S1.431. 700 in it's attempt to influence a section of American public opinion through purchase of the New York Ev- ening Mail, Alfred L. Becker, deputy attorney general of New York an- nounced tonight.
 After the aTraignment today of Dc. Edward A Rumley. former publisher of the Mail. and s. Walter Kaufmann, a former director of the Mail and Ex- press company and one time counsel of the German embassy in the United States, on federal indictments growing out of the Mail purchase. Mir. Becker made additional disclosures regarding his investigation.
 He said the money which went into the newspaper. cOincident with ans following Rumely's purchase in June, 1915. was paid by Count Von Bern storff and Dr. Heinrich Albert com mercial attache of the embassy. Pay ments were made, he said, through Walter Lyon of the Wall street firm of Lyon. Renskorf & Co. Dr. Rumely, according to Mir. Becker. gave the Ger man governments representatives notes securing them with the entire capital stock of the Mail and Express company.
 Mir. Becker said Lyon admitted max ing the payments to Dr. Rumely. for a commission of S5OOO paid him by Kaufmann's law firm.
 Lyon testified that he did not know the persons on whose order the banks issued the checks
 MT. Becker stated that evidence would be submitted to contradict the claim of Dr. Rumely that the funds with which he purchased the Mail were advanced by Herman Sielcken, a wealthy New York coffee merchant who died in Germany in October. 1917, prior to the date of Rumely's state ment of ownership of the Mail to the alien property custodian. Mir. Becker asserted that it was prepOsterOus 70 ask any one to believe that for this sum Sielcken cancelled an indebted ness of almost S15OO.OOO shown by documentary evidence in possession of the authorities to have been incurred by Rumely in his newspaper enter prise.
 The deputy attorney general charged that Rumely and Kaufman both of whom made statements to the alien property custodian regarding the ownership of the Mail. are liable. if convicted. to ten years Imprisonment.
 The charge that the Evening Mail was owned by the German government is absurd: it was mine absolutely mine-and was subject to my sole edi- torial control" declared Dr Rumely in a statement tonight He referred to Deputy Attorney General Becker's se- ries of published statements in the case as 9 lying campaign in the news papers such as this country has prob ably never before witnessed"

 President JohnsOn's statement strongly indicates that he would not consent to staging the worlds series after September 1, as contemplated by club owners of the national league. The American league executive left for Cleveland with the vote of six of the eight club owners in favor of his plan to close the championship season on or about August 20 and then play a worlds series within the eleven days remaining before the first of the month.
 q shall obey Secretary Bakers or ders 10 the letter." President Johnson said. 'I personally will not be a party to a baseball game played after Sep tember l. l think the club owners of the American league will unanimously agree with my views after the situa- tion is thoroughly discussed in Cleve- land tomorrow. The government gave us our orders in declaring baseball non-essential; we are duty bound to follow them out"
 James C. Denn. owner of the Cleve- land club. and Charles A. Comiskey. president of the Chicago Americans accompanied President Johnson. Denn is strongly in favor of ending the sea- son in accordance with President Johnson's suggestions. Mir. COmiskey. while opposed to the early closing, said he would cast his vote with the majority.

Return Flour to Dealers.

Brought to 8 full realization of con-
ditions by the addresses at the big
county mass meeting held in Webster
City Saturday, eight people have re-
turned -four to Hamilton county mer-
chants. They brought back from three
to fifteen sacks each, between 60
and 20 being returned over the coun-
ty.
Many people have little realized the
need for -four conservation. Once
they realize IL, however, there will be
little disposition to hoard it. Hoard
ing is done largely through ignorance:
Local food commissioners will be
pleased, indeed, If there should be
other persons in the county with more
-four then they need who will be WILL
ing to return it to dealers.
