May Recess
TO August ]
Congress Leaders Plan Vaca-
tion While Tax Bill Is
Drafted.

Washington, May 29.-Congress
last night apparently found a way
to provide for the new war revenue
legislation insisted upon by President
Wilson without abandoning entirely
its long-cherished plan to get out Of
Washington for a summer vacation.
Leaders of both parties joined in
conferences over a program proposed
by Representative Garner, demo-
crat, of the House ways and means
committee, and it was given general
approval. The plan contemplates
prompt action on pending appropria-
ton bills, to be followed about June
Is to 20 by a recess of both houses
until August 1st, while The ways and
means committee frames the revenue
bill. After passage Of the measure
bv the House, probably about Aug
ust 10, the House would rec ess for 80
days to await action in the Senate.

Seditious Remarks
In Kingsport Plant
William E. Martin Charged
With Saying He Wished
President Would Die--Is
Jailed. aa u

Bristol, May 30.--W William e, Mar
tin, Of johnson City, carpenter at
the Federal Dye Works at Kingsport,
was bound over to the United States
District Court yesterday by United
States Commissioner Major w. G
Sheen, charged with saying he wished
President Wilson would die before
harvest time and making derogatory
remarks Of an obscene nature about
the Red Cross. His bond was fixed
at 81 900, which he was unable to
secure and he was remanded to the
Sullivan county jail at Blountyille to
await trial. N
Martin, who is about so years Of
age and married, was arrested at the
instigation Of officials Of the dye
plant to whom his statements were
made known, Five substantial wit
nesses bore out the charge in the hear
ing before Commissioners Sheen, testi-
flying that the heard Martin make
the statements for which he was ar.
rested. He was arrested by Deputy
United States Marshal ]. D. Brown,
Of Greeneville. -~--r sssS
Testimony offered in the hearing
indicated that the seditious utterances
were made by Martin because Of the
rules Of the food administration for
bidding the use Of wheat bread. 1t is
also alleged that he said the money
raised in the Red Cross drive was to
be used for disreputable purposes.
He was arrested, tried and lodged in
jail within "a hours after the case
was reported to the Federal authOri-
ties.
Martin did not directly deny the
accusation, but stated he could not re-
member making the remarks. He adj
mitted that he had been in jail be-
fore on other charges. He was ar
rested by the Federal authorities in
February on a charge Of making
tritorous remarks, but because Of a
technical error in the warrant he was
not convicted. It is understood that
he owns property in Johnson City.
His case will be scheduled for trial in
the next term of the district court at
Greeneville.
Much indignation was aroused in
the dye plant when the nature Of the
case became known.
