PIRATE ASHORE
U-Boat Captain Said to Have Produced
New York Theater Checks Lately.

New York Theater Checks Lately.
Nantucket, Mass, Aug. 21.-A story
indicating that an officer OF one of
the German submarines operating off
the merican coast may have attend
ed a New York theater the night of
August 8, has been disclosed by the
wife of a well known New York play
wright and prominent member of the
summer colony here. She was among
those who rendered assistance to the
fishermen brought to the island
August II, after a submarine had
destroyed their vessel the previous day
off Georges Banks.
One of the fishermen, a member of
the crew of the Lena A, told her she
said, that he was questioned by the
German petty officer who boarded the
schooner. During the conversation
they talked of New York and the
fisherman asked the German If he
had even been there. The officer, he
said, smiled and took from his pocket
two seat checks for Broadway
theater, dated Thursday evening,
August 81 two days before the at
tack on the fishing fleet.
In telling the incident today, the
woman explained that the story had
slipped her mind until it was recalled
to her by reports from Washington to-
day that the raiders were believed to
have landed men on these shores. Her
story was corroborated by another
prominent resident of the island who
also interviewed the fisherman.

lowed Larger Profits.

Washington, Aug. .21.-The house
WAYS and means committee, after an
all day discussion of administrative
provisions and other details of the
eight billion dollar revenue bill, was
unable to reach a final agreement
Tuesday on the details of the income
and excess profits tax schedule. Chair
man Kitchin conceded that it was
to the house by the committee by
next Monday. He announced. how
ever, that there is no Question what
ever of the bill raising the total elght
billion dollars sought.
Mr.. Kitchin announced that Secre-
tary McAdoo in his latest letter agreed
to the plan of dividing business into
groups for purposes of deduction OF
pre-war earnings, but that maximum
IL per cent deduction which the COM
n1ittee had proposed to give to mining
and kindred hazardous enterprises
was too great and that 10 per cent was
more equitable.
To Classify Business Lines.
The committee in all probability
will write into the bill a division of
corporations and other business enter
prises into the groups for deduction
purposes in the war profits tax on the
basis of pre-war earnings These
groups probably will be: Financial
and transportation concerns, including
all public utilities. 8 per cent deducT
ton, and manufacturing. mining, gas
and oil well and other miscellaneous
business, 10 per cent deduction.
No Profits Tax on Individuals.
Replying to questions. Chairman
Kitchin said that relief of the individ-
ual from the excess profits tax was de-
cided upon by the committee long ago,
and was in the original draft OF its
bill.
The Legislative drafting board" as
agreed upon, is to have body of ex-
perts to draw bills and other legisla-
tive documents. Each of the two
members will receive $4,000 a year.
An effort was made by Representa-
tives Moore and Longworth to relieve
symphony orchestras from the 20 per
cent amusement admission tax, but
the committee rejected the PROPOSE
ton.
Heavy Tax on Drugs. ~.
A subcommittee. headed by Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois, was ap-
pointed and will report tomorrow in
favor of a drastic tax on opium and
other narcotics. The subcommittee
will recommend a federal license tax
of s24 for importers and compound
ers, SIP for wholesale dealers. Sc for
retail dealers and SO for physicians,

"Cutting Out" Things.

"Cutting OUT Things.
It is a sad fact that a great many

dure this with some cheerfulness be-
u we realize the necessities of the
present and hope and expect that some
day there will be a return to fairly
normal conditions. But in some at

disappearance is temporary. 1t may
be for all times, and there is some
thing of melancholy in this sweeping
away of the old order.
Mr.. McAdoo has probably given us

but there are still some imaginative

Now the train names are to 20. OF

been identified by number. and COM

trains as the 7:16. the s:07, the $3.50,
and the SPA, etc, according to the

catered to the public spirit of
romance by bestowing pleasing names

become positively attached to them.
