George w. Kipe, Of Newport Is

what he is most anxious TO learn Is how
t TO handle the Germans. He has writ
ten to his sister. Mrs. Alfred Craig,
OF Newport, as follows:
Il expect you were surprised when
you got my letter. l suppose you got
my arrival card. l have certainly en-
ioyed this trip very much. but would

piest regiment gone across yet. We had
lots OF amusements, such as moving
pictures, vlctrolas, two bands, boxing,
and also had a French teacher on board

not take long to do.

ganda It was said by officials discuss
ing the disclosure OF the si,0OO,OOO
holding OF the Busch family, made
yesterday by Alfred l.. Becker, New
York assistant Attorney General. Names
OF nearly 10000 individuals are on the
list, which has been built up during
the last two years. The securities were
issued in denominations as low as $50
approximately six different issues OF
the bonds were made in the United
States in order 10 evade the English
blockade, and, TO make the bonds val

cOrporated on the face OF most or them
that they should be considered invalid

United States. They were underwrit-
ten in good-slzed blocks by various
banking houses and syndcates, the
Transatlantic Trust Company, Ollcers
OF which were arrested yesterday for
being an active aecnt.
An estimate Of che total amount Sc
cured by the Germans through bond
sales here was refused by officials. II
Is probably below the si0O,O00,0O0 in
tlmated by Mr.. Becker. The property in
the bonds Is not necessarily subject TO

WASHINGTON, July i3.-The charge

in front OF a group OF more than 1000
aeroplanes accompanied by the deceiv-
ing caption that they were combat
planes. was made against the Creel bu-
reau in the Senate yesterday by Sena-
tor Reed MOI
Senator Reed read from testimony re-
Gently placed before the aircraft sub
committee OF the Senate Committee on
Judiciary by Henry WoOdhOuse. presi-
dent OF the Aero Club Of America. In
the testimony read by Mr.. Reed, MIR.
Woodkouse said:
"When Secretary Baker went TO
France at that time statement was
issued obout the number OF sirplanes
there. The first report OF that kind
that reached us came from the Paris
Herald, and It said Secretary Baker
yesterday saw 1000 American mono
planes and biplanes In flight
well, now a few weeks passed by
and then the photographs Of those
American m-aOplSnes and biplanes ar
rived here and they were issued by Mr..
Creers committee TO carry out the re-
port OF Secretary Baker having seen
1000 monoplanes and biplanes. The
photographs given out by Mr.. Creeis
committee showed some French train
ing Nieuport biplanes ana some mono
planes that are commonly called Pen
gums because they do not 1y and do
not leave the ground, except for a few
feet and OF course we were all disap-
pointed with the evidence"
In the testimony Senator Reed has
questioned the witness as to whether
or not the average layman could have
discerned from the photographs wheth-
er or not the planes on view were fight
ers or only the training planes and
Penguins. To this Mr.. Woodhouse had
replied: "He would not know the diff
ference. OF course you appreciate that
perhaps very enthusiastic newspaper
man receiving the report that the Secre-
tary had seen them-and the Secretary
was there in the photograph with a
great many others, including Gen. Per-
shing-that probably this newspaper
man, hearing that he had seen 1000
airplanes might presume he meant bat
tie planes and changed it. perhaps, be-
ing enthusiastic and wanting TO make a
good story. lie said battle planes in
stead of just saying 1000 training ma

TAX BILL Trainers
HAVE Three plans.
How Hard to Hit Wealth?
is Big Question Before
Committee
WORK STARTS in
EARNEST MONDAY

WASHINGTON, July i3-The business
Of actually framing the new revenue
law VIII begin next Monday when the
Ways and Means Committee Of the
House meets In secret session. The COM
mittee ended its hearing yesterday.
The committee expects to take al
least four weeks in drafting the new
law. IL is evident there are sharp diff
ferences OF opinion among its members.
Some want to follow the flexible British
system, while others favor retaining the
present normal tax Of 4 per cent. A third
point OF divergence concerns the proper
taxation OF luxuries.
The amount which could be raised by
adopting the British system is estimated
by Chairman Kitchin at between So
OOOOOOOOO and si,OOO,0O0OOO more than
is now obtained by the British Gov
ernment.
Il was made plain that il Mr.. Kitch-
in's views prevail there will be an in
crease in the present normal tax, but
Il is doubtful II there will be any great
effort TO change the present exemp-
tions Of $1,000 for individual income OF
persons with no dependents and 5000
for those with dependents.
The second and third points at issue
involve the percentage OF increased
revenue which should come out Of mis-
cellaneous taxes, including luxury
taxes, and the proper taxation OF lux
uries to obtain revenue without kill
ing OF certain branches Of business al
together.
The argument OF those favoring only
reasonable tax on wealth TO provide
the additional s3,5O0,OO0,OO0 or s4,0O0.-
100000 yearly is that present profits
will drop of after the war and the re-
turns under such taxes Will decrease
materially.
Placing miscellaneous taxes, including
stamp, retail, sales, admission, excise
taxes and the like uSon a wide variety
Of necessities and luxuries they point
out will maintain the revenue at high
level after the war.
Luxury taxes fall among the miscel-
laneous taxes. The suggestions sent
from the Treasury Department have
caused a furore. 10 is known that Mr..
McAdoo never saw the suggestion sent
10 the committee. They represent the
views or experts III lilc lttdSuiS "
partment and were sent informally"
They were not to be accepted as recon-
mendations by Mr.. McAdoo. II he In
sists on their inclusion II is a safe as
sumption they will go In.
The hearing yesterday was devoted al
most exclusively TO hearing Charles
Johnson Post. director Of the publish
ers' advisory board. and Jesse II. Neale
OF New York, representing the Asso-
ciated Business Papers, Inc. Mr.. Neale
contended that the trade journels have
become practically an arm Of the gov
ernment and declared Germany would
like nothing better than to witness
the weakness Of our national morale
through the poisoning or drying up OF
our springs Of information"
This, he believed. might happen from

REED WANTS TO HEAR

While the State and Federal author

Reed goes on TO write how glad he

Mr.. Cross TO answer soon and In his
plea there Is a good opportunity for

WONEWOC CITIZEN
IS ELECTROCUTED

Will Heine, substantial and re-
spected citizen of Wonewoc,- was al
most instantly killed by coming IN con-
tact with live wire in his bake shop
2 few days ago, says the Reedsburg
Times. He had spent the evening IN
his bakery, as was his custom, and
when closing-up time came he turned
the button to shut off the lights, re-
ceived a shock in some way, fell to
the floor, called for help, and died
within five minutes after the arrival
of those who heard his cries. HIS
hand was badly burned, and it is evil
dent that the current which passed
through his body was powerful one.
Will Heine had lived in WoneWoc
about all his life. He was married
and leaves a, wife and three children
to mourn his death, besides many
friends and other relatives. He was
about 40 years Of age. Funeral was
held on Tuesday and the business
houses of the village closed out OF re-
spect to his memory. The funeral
was one of the largest ever held IN
Wonewoc. Deceased was formerly a
clerk in the Dixon store, but a year
ago he opened bake shop and store

nately fatal accident had prospered.
