WASHINGTON, May 10.-Congres-

this session of congress is imperative

expected increases in expenses incl

at the treasury for submission within

Secretary McAdoo's belief that legis-

The Unexpectedly heavy estimates
of expenditures for the coming year
include the Sl5,00O,000 army pro-

with further estimates expected, and

SUES SENATOR LODGE.
Ex-Ballplayer Had Encounter in Wash
ington Year Ago.

BOSTON, May l0.-Alexander Bann-
wart, formerly professional baseball
player, filed suit yesterday for 900 dam
ages against Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
with whom he had an encounter in Wash
ington in April, 1917.
With delegation of paciists, Bannwart
summoned Senator Lodge from his office
in the capitol into the corridor, where
ne urged him to vote against declaration
of war After heated argument there
was scutfie and Bannwart, in his COM
plant, alleges that he was assaulted by the
senator. He also complains that Senator
Lodge subsequently caused him to be ar
rested and locked up, and still later made
libelous statements concerning him.

levy of the last tax bill probably would
be doubled. He estimated that So 500
100000 in new taxes would be levied
but other leaders placed the probable fig
ures at from S ,000, 900, 900 to 81 SOC. OOO.-
600, making a total of around Sc 900
100000 based upon the estimated re-
turns of between $4,000, 100000 and
81 100000, 900 from the present law
Further bond issues also undoubtedly
will have to be authorized during the
present session, according to Senator
Simmons, regardless of when revenue
legislation is enacted.
Incomes and excess profits, both
Rep. Kitchin and Senator Simmons in.
Dictated, are regarded as the principal
source from which any revenue increase
must come. The former, said both, can
be doubled, while the latter believes
additional tax burdens should be spread
more generally over the population.
More consumption taxes are regarded
as strong probability.
Strong Republican opposition to any
general revenue legislation at the
present session of congress is expected,
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts and
Smoot OF Utah, Republican members of
the senate finance committee, both
stated yesterday that legislation is not
necessary until next December because
no appreciable amount of additional
revenue would be received by the treas
ury much before the spring of 1919. 1t
also was pointed out that while appro-
pfation estimates and actual authorize
tlons for the fiscal year beginning July
are enormous, drafts upon the treasury
Tor actual expenditures probably will
not be large before the beginning Of
1919.
vi estimated actual expenditures next
year OF about $40, 900, 10000 including.
loans to the allies, most members of
congress are inclined TO raise about o5
per cent or around $4,000, 100000 bv
taxes and the remainder from bond l..
sues. Some, however. favor increasing
the ratio to one-third taxes and two.
thirds bonds.
