C. ". FAIRBANKS DEAD
Former Vice President Passes
Away at Indianapolis.
Became Close Adviser of President
Mckinley Before and During
War With Spain.

Indianapolis, June Cit was an
nourced at his home here that
Charles w. Fairbanks, former vice
president of the United States and
former senator for Indiana, is dead.
Death was due to interstitial nephri-
tbs, which has been a chronic ailment
with him, but not regarded as particu-
larly serious until recently. All men,
bers of the former vice presidents
family, except Maj. Richard Fairbanks
who is in France, were. at his bedside.
Born in Log Cabin.
The distinction of birth in a log
cabin, which illustrious Americans of
an earlier day commonly had, was
also that of former Vice President
Fairbanks. 1t is probable that he was
the last of American statesmen to
have been born in one of these hum
BILE cabins. ~, a. s.
Fairbanks, at IS, entered Ohio Wes-
leyan college at Delaware, Ohio, shar-
ing an attic room with the son of an
other farmer, and the two cooked their
own meals. Fairbanks did carpenter
work to earn his first law books.

BRING THEIR OWN WELCOME
Advent Of Twins Not Dispieasins to

Peculiar Reason.

Capt. Norman Thwaites of the Brit

BRITISH VESSEL sunk
Steamer Harpathian Torpedoed
Off Virginia Capes.
German Submarines Are Known to
Have Destroyed Sixteen Ships
Along Atlantic Coast.

Washington, June 1.-THE navy de.
partment announces that the British
steamer Harpathian has been sunk by
a German submarine 100 miles off the
Virginia Capes.
The entire crew was rescued by the
steamer Palmer, which arrived in
Chesapeake Bay.
Diver Uses Torpedo.
The submarine used torpedo. One
member of the British crew was in.
jured.
The Harpathian was a steel screw
steamer $50 feet long with tonnage
o. 4,5SS. She was built at Sunderland
in 1918 and is owned by J. and G..
Harrison, Ltd.
Only meager details reached the de.
partment. The ship went down in
seven or eight minutes and 1t is re-
garded az probable that, unlike other
vessels attacked off the American
coast, she was struck without warn
ing. All British steamers plying
through the war zone are armed but
no mention Of an armed guard was
made in the navy reports.
U-eoat Thought Eidsvold Assailant.
The Harpathian is the sixteenth vic
tim of the enemy under sea boats in
the Atlantic coast raid. 1t was 40
miles off the Virginia Capes that the
Norwegian steamship Eidsvold was
sunk by shell fire. 1t is thought that
the German commander may have
hoped that in bagging ono of these
vessels he was landing transport. In
both cases he was mistaken.

Secretary McAdoo Wants Mea-
sure Drawn to Raise Eight
Billion Dollars.
TAX ON WAR PROFITS
Treasury Official Also Recommends
Normal Income Tax on Unearned
Incomes Be Raised and That
Luxuries BE Heavily Taxed.

Washington, June TN a letter to
Chairman Kitchin of the House ways
and means committee, Secretary Nc
Adoo recommended that the new rev.
enue measure be framed to raise &c.
OOO,OOO,OOO by taxation, one-third of
the estimated $24,OOO,O00,OOO expendi-
lures in the fiscal year 1919.
He also recommended that war
profits tax be established at high rate
to be superimposed upon existing ex-
cess profits taxes; that the normal
income tax on unearned incomes be
raised and that heavy taxation be i'm
pissed in luxuries.
The suggestions were given in ire
Spouse to letter from Mr.. Kitchin
and constituted an outline of the
treasury's ideas, not only of taxation
to meet the nations huge war expens-
es in the future, but of preparing the
way for floating of additional billions
of Liberty bonds. Increasing the rate
of normal taxes on incomes from
which Liberty bonds are exempt, said
the secretary, will tend to make these
bonds better investments.
Mr. McAdoo made no attempt to
specify the means of carrying out his
suggestions and did not intimate what
articles might be classed as "luxuries"
for heavier taxation.
After explaining that his estimate
of $4,000, 100000 expenditures in the
fiscal year starting next July 1, is
based on expenditures in the past and
a calculation of the rate of increase.
Mr.. McAdoo said It would constitute
unsound financial policy to raise $780,
0OO,00O,OOO of that sum by flotation
of Liberty loans. to make up the de-
felt that would follow, If there were
no increase in the $4,000,OO0,O0O rev.
enue obtainable under existing law.
About one-third Of the $12,50O, OO0..
900 or $4,000, 000, 900 expenditures this
fiscal year, ending June 30, will come
from taxation and this ratio, he sug.
gested, should not be reduced.

London, June 1.-THE Germans.
checked in their efforts TO batter their
awy through the America. and French
lines near the Marine, have turned
their attention to the front further
forth in 3 region which may be con-
sidered as the connecting link between
the battlefields of the Somme and
Marine.
The French Official report, in deal
ing with operations along the 'front.'
says that the French forces east OF
Campigny have continued to drive
back bodies of German troops which
had crossed the Disc.
French Hold Along Disc.
When the initial plunge along the
Aisne had gained extensive ground,
but the process had created a salient
dangerous to the Germans to the
west of scissors, they attacked along
the Ailette river, northwest of that
city, to straighten out their line and
thus guard against thanking opera
ton by the Allied armies. They
gained considerable territory in this
maneuver but were held after they
had progressed approximately five
| miles.
Since that time the French have
held their positions with the Disc
river forming first lihe of defense
and there has been little fighting OF
significant nature in that sector.
New Offensive Suspected.
Military experts, have expected an
attack on the Allied line running
east of Montdidier, past Noyon and
thence along the Disc to the new
lines formed since the German often
sive on the Aisne began. 1t may be
that the 6ghting reported in the
French official statement marks the
initial stages of an attack there.
Further south along the line run
ming from the western suburbs >of
Scissors to Chateau Thierry, the
line is standing firm before the Ger
man thrust The French have sue
ceeded in improving their positions
north and west of Tautebraye, a
little village on the right bank of the
Hoxien river north of the Aisne. ~
Germans Driven Back.
The French took more than 200
prisoners from the enemy in addi-
ton to inflicting heavy losses on the
German units. sf ...Ns9
American troops around Veuilly,
northwest of Chateau Thierry, re-
