GERMANY THREATENS AGAIN
Paper Blames q. S. for Costa Rica's
War Declaration.

AMSTERDAM, June 1.-THE United
States is blamed for Costa Rica's dec
laration of war against Germany by
the Koelnische Volks Zeitung, which
says:
president Wilson will find that at
the final settlement the votes will not
be- counted. but weighed and Costa
Rica will have to account to US for
all material damages. even when full
allowance is made for its dependence
on the United States.
with some more backbone Costa
Rica could have resisted Americas
brutal pressure. as San Salvador has
done up to this time. although San
Salvador is only one-third of Costa
Ricas size"
The Costa Rican congress declared
war on Germany May 25. 1918. The
present Costa Rican government,
headed by President Tinoco has never
been given official recognition by the
American government despite at
tempts to gain such recognition.

tee today a request that 1877 stores.
operating in the west with general
offices In Salt Lake City. Utah. each be
treated as a separate corporation for
taxation, was made by Earl c. Sans
Of New York, representing the J. c.
Penney Company, owners of the stores.
Chairman Kitchin told Mr.. Sans
that under his plan the concern would
be exempted for 100000 more than
II the concern were treated as one or
ganizatfon. Each of the 1877 stores
has a separate management, he said,
and each operates on its own basis.
Since the war, Mr.. Sans said. the
profits of the concern have Increased
about 15 per cent. which the corpora
tion is willing to pay to the gov
ernment where the profits are direct
ly due to the war conditions.
Seek New Possible Sources.
To expedite consideration of the
bill in the Senate the Senate finance
committee today authorized Chair
man Simmons to appoint subcom-
mittee to investigate new possible
sources and articles from which addi-
tional revenue may be Secured. The
subcommittee expects to make It's
preliminary study while the bill is
before the ways and means commit
tee, and in the House, in co-opera-
tion both with the House committee
and the Treasury Department.
The finance committee. at a special
meeting today, decided not to at
tempt suspension of publishers sec
ond-class mail rates, which become
effective July 1.
Although change in the increased
rates Is regarded certain by the Sen
revenue bill reaches the Senate. all
but Senator Smoot of Utah agreed to-
day that any move to suspend the in
creases at this time would be inad-
visab1e. as well as hopeless, in view
of opposition from the House WAYS
and means committee ana the House
itself.
Willing to Pay Increased Taxes.
Because they are making large
profits out Of the war. zinc and lead
mine operators are willing to pay in
creased taxes. Temple Chapman of
terday. He is the first witness to
fatty advocate increasing the taxes
on his industry.
Since the life of the mines is short.
Mr. Chapman suggested that in fixing
higher tax rates the committee should
take cognizance of the fact that large
profits are warranted.
Other Suggestions Made.
George W. Graham of New York
city, chairman of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce motor
truck committee, asked the commit
tee to classify motor trucks with pub
lie utilities, and as such to let them
bear their tax burdens or immunities.
Like other witnesses. he admitted that
the tax on sales, the retention of
which he advocated, is passed on to
the consumer.

senting a chemical company. asked
that secret processes be classified as

Cary of Wisconsin were named as
conferees for the House. :

Prompted by inquiries from Repre-
sentatives Cooper of Wisconsin. Mad

that profiteering will be legalized
under the Pomerene amendment
''Couscienceless Pro6teers.''

two matters Of prime Importance be-
fore Congress. First, to pass such
legislation as is necessary to win
the war. and, second. to protect those
at home who cannot protect them
selves. ION account of the conscience

Representatives johnson explained
that tho House bill was written
from the standpoint Of the tenant
and stated that it would be a refec-
tion on the intelligence Of the author
of the Pomerene amendment to say
that 1t was not written from the
standpoint of the landlords
Mr.. johnson said that the Pom
creme amendment would 1egalize prof.
iteering and pointed out conditions
and ways in which the amendment
and how the government can be made
a victim of such profiteering. He
read a letter which provoked con-
siderable interest on the floor.
This was written by a chairman Of
a real estate brokers' convention COM
mittee. in which 1t was stated that the
