No Luxury Tax Announcement


The committee has made no an
nouncement as to luxury taxes, but
they will cover great many articles
that are, per Sc, luxuries and expen-
sive forms of necessaries. For in
stance, mems suits costing over $40
will pay luxury tax. Similarly, with
most wearing apparel dividing line
is established between the necessary
and the luxurious.
Some seventeen kinds Of unmitigat-
ed luxuries, such as jewelry, phono-
graphs, etc, will pay a level tax of
10 per cent. A complete tentative
schedule has been established. but it
is likely to be altered to some extent.
No change. however, will affect the
general principle that all extravagant
use of necessaries will be heavily taxed
and that straight luxuries will be hit
hard. This is inevitable if the Treas
ury is to get the more than $780,
900, 900 that is expected from the lux
ury classification.
By the present plan the necessaries
that become Injuries when they be-
come high priced will pay 20 per cent,
as follows, according to a partial list:
Fibre carpets and rugs costing more
than IS a square yard; trunks over
$50, and valses, travelling bags and
other luggage over S25; mems and
boys suits, exclusive Of uniforms. $50:
women's readymade cloaks and suits
more than $40, and the same articles
tailor made over 500; mems hats over
50 and caps over So; ali shoes over $40:
mems and boys silk stockings above
81, and women's above 81, and paiamas
over SO.
1t was conceded to-day that the bill
Will not be reported to the House be-
fore August 26, and that the chances. of
Its becoming law by September %, az
go urgently requested by Secretary Nc
Adoo, are very remote.

Many Delinquents
Given Useful Work

Scores of juvenile delinquents
picked up by the police in the theatri-
cal district have been placed in useful
war work instead of being sent to cor
rectional institutions, it was said yes
terday by Ellen A. O'Grady, Fifth
Deputy Police Commissioner.
Under the new system of dealing
with delinquents children are not
punished, except in extreme cases,
Commissioner O'Grady said Many
merely are lectured and sent to their
homes. A number of boys and girls
taken into custody by Detective Ser
geant Frye, of the West Forty seventh
Street station, have been put to work
selling war savings stamps.
The majority of girls taken in the
theatre district ran away from home
to become actresses. 1881

The crew was in such haste to escape
that all were scantly clad when picked

signed to Santos, Brazil. The vessel
was built at an Oregon shipyard early

Profits Tax
Continued from page 1

to-day that every person making a
return under the personal income pro-
visions of the law shall have his dis
tinction thus made public.
1t is the committees expectation
that in consequence of this decision
the man who has been compromising
with his conscience and shutting with
his accounts in order to avoid COM
putting enough income to be taxable
will now use his ingenuity to discover
enough income to admit his name to
the list Of prominent and substantial
citizens which will appear on the
courthouse door and thereafter in the
ordinary course in the local news
papers.
The reaction to this stimulus is ex-
pected to be especially noticeable in
the smaller towns and cities and in the
rural districts. According to the re-
turns under the present revenue laws,
a very small courthouse door would
suffice for the posting of the names Of
income taxpayers in some very large
wealthy and populous rural counties.
In the whole Of Alabama, for instance
only forty farmers pleaded guilty to
returnable incomes.
Personal Incomes Divided
Acting on Secretary McAdoo's sug-
gestion, the committee decided to make
a distinction between earned and un-
earned personal income. In the new
law, according to to days decision, the
earned portion will pay normal tax
of 10 per cent and the unearned 13 per
cent, against fiat per cent at pres
ent.
Unearned income is defined AS that
part of income derived from dividends
on preferred stock, from interests,
rentals, royalties and annuities.
The vote on this proposition was very
close, and one member, presumably Mr..
kitchin, announced the reservation of
his right to oppose it in the House.
The 10 per cent and 13 per cent pro-
visions, however, go into effect only
after the $4,000 income point has been
passed. Below that the normal rate il
per cent.
The exemptions, as tentatively
adopted, are $1,000 for single person
and $4,000 for married man, with
$500 additional for each child under
eighteen.
Rate Of Surtaxes
The surtaxcs on income as the bill
now stands are as follows:

Brazilian Vessel Is Sunk
Near Virginia Coast
by U-Boat
Madrugada Is Sunk
By She'll Attack
Navy Will Give Special
Protection to Fishing
Fleets Hereafter

BEAUFORT, N. c., Aug. 16.-A
large oil tanker is atire about twen-
ty-fve miles off Cape Hatteras, &C
cording to reports brought here to-
night A submarine is lying close
by. The members of the crew have
been taken off by coastguards.
1t is presumed the submarine is a
German and The tanker was set on
fire by shell fire.
Defying naval and air patrols hunt
ing them up and down the coast, u
boats have bagged a Brazilian vessel, it
was learned yesterday when twenty
two survivors Of the motor ship Mad
rugada reached an Atlantic port
The Madrugada, 2,260-ton ship, on
her maiden voyage to South Ameri-
can port, was sunk by shell fire from a
German submarine off the northern
Virginia coast early Thursday morning.
The vessel was attacked without warn
ing, and was sent to the bottom just
after the captain and crew had taken
to the two lifeboats. Abandoned by
the raider, the seamen were picked up
four hours later by the steamship
which brought them to an Atlantic
port.
While the day added another to the
list of U-boat victims in American
waters, it brought encouraging reports
from the Navy Department of the steps
taken to cope with the submarine men
ace here. Secretary Daniels announced
that special protection would be given
to fishing fleets off the coast Of New
England.
Patrols to Guard Fishermen
Where the vessels operate in fleets.
as is the general custom, Secretary
Daniels declared that naval patrol boats
hereafter will accompany them to
their banks and maintain guard. This
protection was asked for by Boston
and Gloucester fishing companies.
The list of reported U-boat victims.
in addition, was shortened yesterday,
when the Navy Department was in
formed that the American. schooner
Sybil, said in recent dispatches to
have been sunk by a German subma-
rlne. had arrived safely at Gloucester.
Mass. The department also announced
that the remainder of the crew of the
schooner Progress, one of the fishing
vessels sunk off the New ENGLAND
coast, had been rescued
The survivors of the Madrueada were
themselves witnesses of the increasing
American naval and air activity against
the enemy submersibles. Their rescu-
ing vessel passed through almost a con-
tinuous lane of United States dcstrov-
ers and submarine chasers. while dur.
ing the day scores of hydroplanes flew
overhead in the hunt for the raiders.
AT night the searchlight of patrolinp
naval craft flashed on them at in.
tervals of half an hour.
1t was this Gordon that the rr-boat
eiuded when it popped up two hundred
yards from the Madrugada as the latter
was headed south past the Winter

Last summer, when every young
