NOGALES FIGHT ENDS
U. S. ANO MEXICO ARRIVE AT AN
AGREEMENT.
Civilians Are Blamed for Trouble on
the Mexican Border-Three
Americans Killed.

Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 30.-All danger
of any resumption Of any firing be
tween MeXicanS and Americans across
the border was believed to have been
averted when Brigader General Ca
bell announced that an agreement had
been reached with Captain Abasolo,
commander Of the Mexican forces in
Nogales, Sonora, that there should be
no resumption of hOstilities.
This agreement extended an armis-
tice concluded late Tuesday by Lieut..
Col. Frederick j. Herman and the
Mexican authorities.
Mexican civilians were held respon-
sble for the shooting by American
Consul f. NJ Lawton of Nogales, So
nora, who was in the Mexican town
when the fighting started.
revised list of the casualties suf-
fered by the Americans shows that
one officer and two enlisted men were
killed and 2S soldiers and civilians
wounded. Three of the wounded are
reported seriously hurt
Among the Mexicans killed was Fe-
liX Penaloza. mayor of Nogales So
nora, the Mexican town opposite here.
Unofficial estimates placed the num-
Der of Mexican dead and wounded at
200, but the Mexican consul asserted
this figure was probably an eXaggera-
ton.

BIGGEST WAR TAX
BILL COMPLETED
War Profits Expected to Net
the Nation $780,
100000.
AUTOS TO PAY S7O,oOO,OOO
Virtually All Taxes in the Present
Revenue Laws Are Doubled, and
in Some Instances
Tripled.

Washington, Sept. I'm n confer
ence which Chairman Kitchin and
other members of the house ways and
means committee had with Secretary
McAdoo practical agreement was
reached on vital sections of the reVe-
nue. bill. The measure, the largest tax
bill in history of any nation, now has
been finished except for final reading
and teXtual corrections.
1t was estimated by Representative
Kitchin that the Bill, if enacted into
law, would bring into the treasury
more than $S,200,O00,000, chiefly from
taxes upon those who have made
money from the war and without inn
posing consumption taxes on break
fast table necessities.
AS agreed to by the committee, the
war profits section, estimated TO raise
So 2OO,000,00O, imposes an 50 per cent
war profit tax and provides for an al
tentative excess profit tax. There is
an exemption of $1,000 plus 8 per cent
Of the invested capital, after which
these rates are levied;
On income exceeding the eXemp-
lions and not exceeding 10 per cent of
invested capital, tax of 30 per cent;
Oh income exceeding 10 per cent and
not exceeding 20 per cent of invested
capital, tax Of 90 per cent.
On income exceeding 20 per cent of
invested capital, tax of 40 per cent.
Secretary McAdoo recommended the
80 per cent war tax and an alternative
tax, the same as the present excess
profit tax, with rates from 20 to 60
per cent.
After determining that the difficult
ties of administration would be very
great Secretary McAdoo agreed TO
ar normal tax on unearned than earned
Incomes. In the conference he agreed
that the normal tax on all incomes
should be - per cent.
This means that there will be u
per cent normal tax on all incomes
lver $4,000 and the tax Oh incomes
below that amount will be down to
the exemption figure Of q per cent
The present normal tax is per cent.
rhe exemption in the bin is the same
As in the present law, $1,000 for single
and $1,000 for married persons.
Virtually all the taxes in the present
revenue laws are doubled, and in some
instances they are tripled There are
40 new taxes except a luxury tax pat
termed after the English and French
system and a tax on the users of au-
tomobiles This tax, which is in the
form of federal license, based on
horse power it is estimated will raise
S70.00O,000. The automobile tax ranges
rs follows:
Motorcycles. IS; automobiles or cleo
tries of % horse power or less, SO;
more than % horse power and not
more than 30 horse power; $40; more
than 30 horse power and not more
than 40 horse power, $50; more than
40 horse power, $50.
The tax on all travel tickets. rail-
road or boat, is increased to per cent,
and there Is an extra tax OF per cent
on Pullman tickets.
There is tax of cents on tele-
phone charges between IA and so
cents, and the tax is 10 cents between
80 cents and dollar
