The "Kaiser's bell" joins melodious-
ly every week in the Sunday clangor to
Which the upper East Side vibrates.
CiangI clang! clang! wags the harsh
tongue of the bell in the First Magyar
Reformed Church, at 346 East Sixty
ninth Street, every Sunday morning,
and Dong! dong dong! comes the
sonorous answer from the "Kaiser's
oell,' which hangs in the belfry of the
German Reformed Church, at 353 East
Sixty-eighth Street, while Italians,
French and Czechs in the neighbor-
hood shrug their shoulders and lift
their eyebrows at the Naturalization.
1t is the sweetly pitched tone of the
bell which the German Kaiser oave to
the old German church in 1903, and not
the strident pealing of the Hungarian
bell, that has tautened the nerves of
some OF the neighbors of the churches.
~ is sweet, yes" exclaimed Nine.
Marie Coste, of 356 East Sixty-ninth
Street, spry little French woman.
with son in the American expedi-
lonary force, "but the sweetness Is a
sugar coating, camoufage, for the
poison that lies beneath. Some day it
VIII drive me mad, that bell. 1t is the
voice of wailing that ascended to
heaven from an empty sea when the
Lusltania was torpedoed; it echoes the
stories that were told to me as a child
IN Lyons Of the German invasion of
1871. The Hungarian bells are harsh
and cruel, but the bell of the Kaiser is
smooth and more cruel and insulting a
hundred times. 1t is the suffering of
purgatory to listen to it's voice"
Harmless, Says Pastor
Yesterday the bell was silent. and
was not even to be seen in its shut
tered beltry. The Rev. julius Jaeger,
tne selfsame German-American pastor
OF the church who opposed, a few
weeks ago at meeting Of his coun-
trymen, the adoption of resolutions
repudiating the Kaiser and Prussian-
ism, saying he had met the Kaiser and
considered him "the most democratic
OF men" was sure the bell was harm
less and that church and congregation
were loyal.
The bell was sent to the little church
or yellow brick in response to a letter
which the Rev. Mr.. Jaeger addressed
to the Kaiser in 1908 rccounting the
history of the institution The church
was founded in 1853. One of its first
members was Baron Won Steuben.
Washlngton's adviser and drllmaster:
another was John Jacob Astor. The
halsers gilt was in recognition of the
church's 150th anniversary and was a
masterpiece of artisanship in sharn
contrast to the gold-plated pewter
yachting trophy which he pompouslv
presented at about the same time.

the bell" said Philip Hauser. vestrv-
man and organist of the church, "but

Hidden Rifles Found
In Chinatown Cellar

Memories of the old tong feuds that
terrified the residents of Chinatown
seven years ago were revived at Police
Headquarters yesterday, when a box Of
rifles was found in a cellar at 8 Pell
Street.
The rifes--thirteen of them-were
Springfelds, model 1888, and were
nailed in a case with $500 rounds of
ammunition and several bayonets. The
bullets were of the dum-du variety.
Acting on information, Dcct;ves Ker-
win, Oliver and Fennely went to the
Pell Street cellar, which is under the
Chinese restaurant of William L. Bue.
They found the box covered with old
rags and dirt, indicating that it had
been there for several years. Bue was
arrested. He admitted that the weap-
ons were bought about seven years ago
and brought to his place by partner,
whose whereabouts he does not know.

u. S. May Take
Garbage Plant on
Staten Island

The garbage reduction plant on
Staten Island, whose odors have caused
violent expostulation in the Borough
of Richmond, soon may be in the con-
troll of the government, plans to that
end having been suggested at a con-
ference held yesterday. The confer
ence was called after Corporation
Counsel Burr had notified the Metro
politan By-Products Company, the
operator of the plant, to abate the
odorous nuisance within forty-eight
hours.
The concern is in the hands Of re-
ceivers, and new machinery must be
installed to eliminate the odors. Cred
ltors and bondholders, in conference
with Mr.. Burr, decided that, under the
circumstances, it would be best for the
city to take over the plant and turn
it over to the United States govern
ment, in order that the governments
supply of glycerine for war purposes,
which is derived in large quantities
from the process, might not be inter
fered with.
The city is willing to forego the
1lol'ou year "hlch II receives from
the Metropolitan By-Products Com
pany and let the United States have
the property without charge. The new
machinery that must be installed to do
away with the smell will cost about
$5O,0OO
Judge Garvin, of the United States
District Court, in Brooklyn, will take
part in a conference on the subject to-
day, and on Tuesday William Wallace
Means, Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture, will join the conferrees. Com
missioner McStay of the Departmen mt
Of Street Cleaning, estimated the an
nual glycerine output of the plant at
100000 pounds.

Tuxedo Park Is as Clean

TUXEDO PARK, N. Y, July 20
Tuxedo Park stands to-day quite as
clean of newspapers printed by William
Randolph Hearst as of newspapers that
are printed in the German language.
Hearst newspapers were barred from
this place by means of a petition served
on the newsdealers This petition was
signed by a majority of the members
of the Tuxedo Park Association and
citizens here.
The newsdealers promptly cancelled
Hearst orders. Hearst has made no at
tempt to send special agents to sell his

cause Tuxedo Park had quit buying his
papers long before the newsdealers
ceased placing them on their stands to

per cent Americanism in this land and
to tolerate no divided allegiance. 1t is
our duty to back up the government in
extending the draft, in encouraging and
speeding up our warplane progress, our
field gun progress and every other in
dustry connected with the war, and to
back it up by sending the greatest pos
sible number of our soldiers abroad
until we get an army on the fighting
line bigger than the combined lines of

GENTLY, fearlessly and patriotically
does his duty along these lines.
at is no less our duty to fearlessly
oppose any public servant who fails in
any point to perform such duty. This

their duty to insist that all their SER

Higher Levies on Incomes
Also Considered by
House Committee
Shortage i'm Revenues
Three Plans Are Favored to
Swell Returns, Chairman
Kitchin Says

WASHINGTON, July 25.--The House
Ways and Means Committee in tenta-
lively agreeing to-day upon gradu-
ated tax on war excess profits, esti-
mated by the Treasury to yield only
1890 900 900 revenue, found that either
all it's plans so far tentatively agreed
mon would have to be readjusted in
order to produce the $4,000 ,o00,00
sought from excess profits and incomes
or it would have to resort to some new
tax proposition. AS now planned, the
revenues from these two sources would
fall 81 $4,000. 900 short.
The committee after an all-day ses-
sion tentatively agreed to a specific ex-
emption of $4,000 plus 10 per cent on
invested capital instead of $4,000 plus
excess profits tax under the present
law.
Various taxing plans also were dis
cussed, with the Rmmittee favoring 80
per cent on all incomes in excess of the
exemption Of 10 per cent and not in
excess of 90 per cent excess profits, 80
per rent on net income in excess of
20 per cent and not in excess of 25
per cent en- net income in excess Of
per cent, and 80 per cent on net income
in excess of % per cent.
Under the present law the war ex
cess profits tax runs from 20 per cent
on net income in excess of the deduc-
ton and not in excess of Is per cent
of invested capital for the taxable year
to 60 per cent in excess of 33 per cent
of such invested capital, together with
s per cent on net income in excess of
deduction for trade or business having
no invested capital.
May Revise Schedules
The discovery that the total revenues
likely to be derived from income and
excess profits taxes will amount to only
S4,340 ,0O0,0 900, instead of the $6,0O0,-
00G 900 contemplated by the Treasury
as capable of being raised from these
sources, is considered as probably
forcing a revision of the schedules so
far tentatively agreed upon.
Should it be necessary to revise the
tentatively agreed upon tax upon ex-
cess profits, Chairman Kitchin to-day
stated, the committee cleaned to" the
three following plans:
Tax of so per cent on all net in
comes in excess of the 10 per cent. ex-
emptlOn, estimated Dy the treasury 10
yield S2,400, 100000.
Tax of 40 per cent on all net incomes
in excess of exemption of 10 per cent
and not in excess of 20 per cent, and
so per cent on all net incomes in eX
cess of 20 per cent, estimated by the
Treasury as possible of yielding ST.
$50, 100000.
Comparison of Profits
Tax of 60 to 80 per cent on the diff.
ference between the average per cent
of profits for the best four of the six
years from 1911 to 1916, inclusive, the
years to be selected by the corporation,
and the profits for the taxable year,
with deduction of 10 per cent for
capital put in since 1916 No estimate
of revenue to be raised under this plan
was made by the Treasury, but it was
said this tax would affect concerns
which made large profits before the
war as we'll as since the beginning of
the war.
