London, April 24.-ReIations be-
tween Germany and Holland are
described in Holland with the sug-
gestion that the situation is extremely
dangerous. The sand and gravel
question appears to take prominent
place in all the reports.
The correspondent of the Times at
The Hague mentions among other
things, the reported demand that
Holland shall guarantee to Germany
a supply of raw materials Immediate
ly after the war while certain
amount of Dutch tonnage is demand
ed for the same period. 1t is sug-
gestcd, the Times adds, that the Ger

virtually force the Entente Allies to
formally occupy the Dutch colonies
which would place Holland complete
ly in German hands.

where about the camp. 1t is upon
both of these theories that secret serv-

NEED R. R. TAXES
State Officials Afraid Govern
ment Will Abolish Them.
This Would Mean a $4,305,0O2
Loss to State.
GOVERNOR MAKES APPEAL
He Urges McAdOO To Save
States Revenue.
If It's Lost individuals Will Be
Taxed More.

Fear that government control and
supervision of railroads may mean the
loss of millions of dollars in revenue
to the state. found sincere expression
today in state departments Cover
nor Capper has appealed to William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treas
ury and director general of the rail-
roads, to support state revenues
against congressional action.
Exemption of railroad properties
from local aXations will mean more
than four and a half million dollars
to the state and to local taxation dis
tricts this year. In 1916 the rail-
roads paid $4,3o5,O02 in taxes in
Kansas. Their 1917 taxes We're prac-
this year probably will be between
four and half and five millions.
Big Burden ON Individuals
More than II per cent Of the total
taxes of the state are paid by the rail-
roads Exemption of the roads from
taxation under the federal control
provision woulo mean that the en-
tire burden would fall on general
property owners. 1t is to prevent
this condition that Governor Capper
today sent an urgent appeal to Di-
rector General McAdoo Loss of the
taxes from the railroads would mean
that the burden would fall entirely
sfnaiier utilities and business interests
Governor Capper Is a member of the
council of states on taxation and the
problem now confronting the state
thru federal control and regulation OF
railroads is regarded by hips as most
serious. He advised Director General
McAdoo that in 1916 the total taxes
!eV.ed in Kansas, amounted to s35,-

Lose Inheritance Tax, Tooo
New government regulation and
special acts by congress are leopard
izing revenues of the states, the gov
ernor pointed out in his letter He
mentioned the possible loss of inher-
itance taxes and other revenues thru

Sources of revenues left to states
should not be abolished by federal
Adoo.
No definite statement has come
from Washington concerning the
status of railroad taxation problems.
That a danger is apparent, was made
evident by the tone of the governor S
letter.
There is a growing belief and fear
that the government control measures
may result in the loss of much revenue
to the states,' said the governor. so
far as | have been able to learn no in
formation is availa BILE as to the extent
which the government order will go
in relieving the railroads from state
relieved from taxes by the govern
ment, the burden would fall most
heavily on the individual property
owner and tax payer"

Otherwise They Might Have
Escaped Brutal Death.
FIRST BLOW CRAzED ROBBER
Sight of PROSTATE Winters
Made Him Kill Other Men.
PinkertOn Detectives Look for
an Accomplish.

Camp Funston, Kan, Jan. 14.-ff
the five men in the army bank on the
reservation here had taken Capt.
Lewis Whistler seriously when he en-
tered the bank last Friday night, and
had not ioked with him about his pre-
tended robbery of the banking iasti-
tuition, it is the belize here that the
qua druple murder would not have
occurred. Whistler, it is explained,
probably would have taken the money
he desired and departed.
In the story told by Kearney Wor-
nall, cashier of the bank and only sur
vivor of the crime, it was brought out
that when the men in the bank did
not take Whistler seriously when he
informed them he was going to rob
the institution, he struck C. Fuller
Winters, vice president of the Ma
tionai Reserve bank of Kansas City,
Mo, with the flat side of d hand axe,
Wornall, that he would show them he
meant business. Wornafl declares that
this blow did not kill Winters.
Act Made Him Insane?
1t is pointed out that perhaps this
act determined the remainder of the
incidents OF that tragical night. 1t
might have produced temporary
spell of insanity. further strengthened
by the sight of the piles of money,
the lust of gold' in the eyes of man
who had, according to his own admis-
sion upon entering the bank, as set
forth by Wornall, been worrying over
shortage in his accounts.
The sight of the man lying on the
floor, undoubtedly taken by Whistler
as dead. doubtless produced that calm.
determined spirit char cteristic of
men who have steeled themselves to
see thing thru, no matter what the
consequences. Whistler, according to
Wornall's statement, deliberately took
his time in selecting bills of large de-
nominations and thrustfng them into
a sack. first forcing Wornall at the
point of the revolver. to bind the
other men in the building after order
ing them to lie on the floor face down.
Whistler himself tied Wornan with
pieces of tent rope. according to the
sole survivor
He Took His Time.
The belief that he had killed one
man already probably worked ON the
mind of Whistler and caused him to
make the decision that to see the thing
thru it would be necessary to STAY The
other four men in the bank. This he
proceeded to do
