Committee Will Consider It
When Reported to House.

Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee. who returned to
Washington today said that his COM
mittee would begin consideration of
the new war revenue bill as soon as
that measure has been reported to the
House. by the House ways and means
committee.
While the Senate committee has
taken no formal action in the matter
Senator Simmons said today that it
was his understanding that hearings
would be held by the committee.
He said an effort would be made
to limit the time of the hearings, and
that they would not be allowed to
run through more than ten days.
He also expressed the opinion that
1t would be utterly impossible for
Congress- to finish consideration OF
the revenue bill and pass it. by Sep
tember 2s, as has been urged by SEQ
retary McAdoo Of the Treasury De-
partment
Senator Simmons believes the bill
will hardly have passed the House

RIGHT Of WAY IS SOUGHT
Sweden Asked to Send Steamer for
Two Hundred Refugees At
Petrograd.

Sweden has been asked by the
Swedish consular Office at Moscow.
acting for the American and allied
consuls there, to send a ship to Petro-
grad to take away 200 refugees. or.
II this is impossible, to obtain per-
mission for these persons to pass
through Finland It is assumed here
that the refugees are American and
allied citizens seeking escape from
Russia.
Under date of August II the Swedish
consul general at Moscow reported
that the German government had re-
fused safe conduct for any refugees,
including consular officers. It was
believed this refusal would stand
until negotiations were concluded
with England concerning the treat
ment of Germans in China.
When these dispatches were sent eff
forts still were being made to obtain
the release of British and French citi-
zens held as hostages by the bolshe-
wiki. Some were released several days
ago, but nearly a hundred were held.
The Swedish consul general said the
negotiations would be greatly facili-
tated If the allies would promise pro-
lection to soviets in northern Russia
A report dated August Is said the
bolshevik authorities had agreed to
permit the consuls to depart, and that
the military missions OF Great Britain
and France were preparing to leave
Moscoy by way of Astrakhan and

F|REMEN ASK
INCREASE IN Salaries
Only Trivial Advance in Pay Since
1905, Is Pleaded, and Can
not Meet H. CT.

District fremen appealed to the
Commissioners today to increase their
salaries. They say they have had
only a trivial increase since 1906 and
that it has become practically impos-
sible for them to meet the increased
cost Of living at the present rates of
pay.
In their petition they state that they
have delayed making the appeal for
the reason that such a request might
jeopardize favorable action by Con-
gress on the two-platoon measure.
But conditions have now so
changed themselves" says their petit
tion, that we can no longer refrain
from earnestly petitioning your hon
orable board and the chief engineer
to include in your estimate to Con-
gress provision that will have the
effect of increasing our compensation
to conform favorably with the in
creases that have been granted in all
other walks of life and to conform
also with the salaries paid ffremen in
other cities of the size and importance
Of Washington"

ASKS GOVERNMENT.
FOR UNITED IRELAND"
Sir James H. M. Campbell Makes
Sensational Declaration at
Luncheon in Dublin.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 19.-Political cir
cles have been given quite a sensa-
tion by declaration by Sir James H.
NJ. Campbell. lord chancellor of Ire
land, that he is in favor of "self-gov-
ernment for a united Ireland" This
statement was made by him at a
luncheon at Dublin on Saturday.
When Sir James was appointed lord
cha ncellor in succession to Sir 1g-
natius John O'Brien last June, it was
believed that the action of the gov
ernment meant a complete reversal of
it's Irish policy. His speech proves
that he is a convert to home rule" ac-
cording to liberal commentators. Sir
James is quoted as follows:
From the day the war broke out ]
determined. regardless of my COM
mitments in the past and the views of
my old political colleagues. that I
should endeavor to the best of my
ability to bring about a solution, by
consent. of the Irish problem on the
only lines which 1t seemed to me held
any promise of success-I mean self
government for united Ireland"

WHY EMPEY LOST STRAPS.
Mr.. Tumulty Explains It Was Be-
cause Recruiting Harms Draft.

NEW YORK. August 1s.-Arthur
Guy Empey made public here today a
letter from Secretary Tumulty ex-
planning his recent discharge as a
captain in the Army. for which he
has been doing recruiting service on
the lecture platform The letter said
that he had been given a commission
for the special purpose of doing re-
cruiting service and that it had been
revoked because voluntary enlist
ments now were interfering with
'-the orderly selective process" Of in
creasing the Army. -and any active
recruiting campaign would be out of
the question"
Therefore, to have allowed Empey
to retain the commission would have
constituted an exception to the rule
whereby commissions in the line Of
the Army are awarded.
