BURY JAMES wilson
THURSDAY MORNING.
Deceased Had Done I'M
portant Engineering Work
in Many Countries
DEATH SHOCKS
MANY FRIENDS

The funeral OF County Engineer
James Wilson, who died yesterday, af-
ternoon, Will be held at 10 o'clock
Thursday morning from his late home
on the Kennett turnpike above Green
vile. Interment will be made in Lower
Brs-dywine Cemetery. The Rev. Charles
l.. Iandee, pastor Of Westminster Pres
byterian Church, Will have charge OF
the services.
Mr.. Wilson had been in failing health
fo1 some months but his many friends
did not realize that his condition was
so 6Ntlcal and consequently his death
came as a shock TO many.
The many years that he had served
as county engineer and highway com
missioner for New Castle county
brought Mr.. Wilson in close touch
v,..h prominent men throughout the
county and he had host of friends. He
had wide experience as a civil engineer,
having done engineering work in Cuba,
South America and other countries.
Mr. Wilson was born in New Castle
County on Nov. 40, 1853, and was In
his Goth year at the time OF his death.
His slrly schooling was received at the
old Clarkson and Taylor schools which
stood at Fourth and West streets. He
later matriculated TO Lafayette College
and after graduating from that institu-
tion became the private secretary OF
railroad builder
With Senior Cisneros Mr.. Wilson spent
a year in Europe and then they went
10 South America where Mr.. Wilson
spent ten years, building railroads in
the interior along the Magdalena river.
Early In the project Senor Cisneros died
and Mr.. Wilson became chief engineer,
carrying the work to its completion.
After completing his work in South
America. Mr.. Wilson returned home
and was appointed city engineer. He
later did some work for the Pennsylva- !
mia railroad in Western Pennsylvania, |
and on his return was again appointed /
to the office of city engineer from |
which he resigned to fll the office Of
engineer, eleven years ago. The /
office OF county engineer was created
by an act Of the State legislature in
1907 and Mr.. Wilson was the first man
10 be chosen for the office. He was re-
elected at every succeeding term since
then.
Some years ago Mr.. Wilson was se-
riously injured in an accident on the
Kennett pike when an automobile
struck team in which he was riding
with Dr. Charles Green his cousin.
Or. Green was killed and Mr.. Wilson
recovered from his injuries after some
time.
- xrrtt.o., ...os ,,,r,a rrtod and livpd
with his sisters. He Is also survived
by several brothers.
Mr.. Wilson was affiliated with bev-
eral large fraternal orders and In ad-
ditiOn was connected with several pa
triotic movements. He was a mem-

WASHINGTON. July 30-A war profits
tax, designed to force war proflteers TO
turn over 10 the government nearly all
OF their profits, will be added TO the new
5000 100000 war revenue bill that is
now being drafted by the House Ways
snd Means Committee.
The committee has decided to In
clude In the bill a provision for the
war profits tax, after the Senate lead
ers had severely criticized the excess
profits and corporation income taxes
and to add the war profits tax as a sep
arate provision Of the bill. All business
then would be subject to a heavy tax
alton. in the opinion Of members OF the
Ways and Means Committee and either
ihe excess profits tax or the war profits
tax provision could be used to levy
the highest possible tax against each
concern.
The decision Of the committee is to
add heavy war profits tax as high as
50 per cent. 10 the excess profits tax,
graduated from 30 per cent. up, that al
ready has been placed upon all profits
ebove an exemption OF 10 per cent.
Committee met all day yesterday with
Representative William T. Rainey OF IL
linois. acting chairman in the place OF
Representative Kitchin, who was aD-
sent from Washington.
The committee inserted a provision
In the draft Of the bill exempting men
IN the uniform Of the army or navy
from having to pay war taxes on their
transportation.
The committee let the per cent. tax
on transportation facilities stand as II
is. Acting Chairman Rainey, In explain
ing the committees decision, said:
"The committee did not agree to in~
crease the tax on transportation for the
reason the director Of the railroads al
ready has increased the rates Tor
freight 33 i-3 per cent. and on passen-
ger traffic 80 per cent. and these In
cresses automatically will increase
the amont Of taxes received
from these sources. The same PROPOSE
tion is true as regards the tax on seats
and berths in railroad cars
The committee decided TO take up
later discussion Of a tax on oil carried
through pipe lines consigned to any
Others than the owners Of the lines.
They are now taxed per cent.
Mr.. Ralney said the sentiment OF the
committee favors increasing the tax on
life, marine and casualty Insurance. The
Treasury Department today was asked
for more information on this source OF
revenue.
The proposed increase in the tax on
alcoholic beverages will be left until
the last minute, said Mr.. Rainey. He
explained the imminence Of nationwide
prohibition and the desire Of the COM
mittee to prevent the large stores OF
whiskey from being removed from bond
before the new law would go into ef-
feet caused the committee to decide to
postpone action on this provision Of the
bill until last.
He said there are 100000 gallons
of whisky that could be removed from |
bond for beverage purposes and 5OOO,- |
600 additional gallons that could be re-
moved for other purposes, If the in
creases were decided upon now.
