FAv0RS TAX BILL
President Backs McAdOO for
Immediate Action.
Would Force Congress To Sit
Turnout Summer.

Washington, May 22.-President
Wilson regards a tax bill necessary at
this session of congress.
1t was officially learned today that
Secretary McAdoo, at a conference
with the president yesterday, won the
executives approval of the proposed
new revenue measure.
Decision of the president to support
McAdoo's contention for tax measure
this session will probably result in
early opening of work on the measure
by house and senate committees.
May Have Recesses.
Congressional leaders believed that
congress probably will recess from
time to time while the committees
are working-thus enabling senators
and representatives to get back home
for prediction campaigning and at
the same time be on hand when the
time comes for considering the meas
ure.
There is a distinct difference of
opinion in President Wilson's cabinet
regarding the need for a tax bill this
session. Postmaster General Burleson
has opposed the proposed action.

All the Ships Needed Promised
by Next Summer.

New Brunswick, N. j., May e.
America is prepared to draft men from
Is to 60 years old if that becomes nee
essary to win the war, declared jose
plus Daniels, secretary of the navy, in
an address at the alumni dinner of
Rutgers college. Daniels predicted
that before another summer we will
have enough ships to carry not only
a million. but millions to France, and
enough destroyers to carry them in
safety"
Secretary Daniels said in part: cal
most every day L am called upon TO
give a name to a ship-and we are
going to get them out faster. We are
going to get out the greatest naval
ships produced, the destroyers on
which men do not sleep for days and
do not eat except standing up. l have
knowledge of one destroyer which
conveyed 1T ships safely and traverS-
ed a million miles in six months.
Keep Young Men in College.
Young men in college from IL &c
81 should stay in college until they
reach the latter age. All the training
they receive, mental and military, fits
them for a larger service.
THE day may come when, II neceS-
sary, congress may change the age
limit because men from 81 to 81 can
not win the war. Then we will call
on the men from IS to 60 to win tbs
war.

GIRLS SHOW SPIRIT
They Have Made Best Red Cross Rec
ord in State House.

1t was the women and girls in state
departments who gave until it hurt in
subscribing to the Red Cross fund,
according to Cecil Howes, in charge
of the state house campaign. Howes
stated today that the subscriptions
from women and girls were larger in
proportion to their earnings than
those from the men. The state house
crew-from janitors to chief justice
of the supreme court and governor
donated to the cause and insured leo
per cent loyalty.
This afternoon the state house sub
scriptions totalled s4,472.50 and will
go considerably beyond the $4,000
mark-possibly to $4,000. Tuesday
afternoon the state house goal was set
at $4,000. Several state officials are
out of the city on official business, but
will list their subscriptions not later
than Friday. In only a few instances
were subscriptions below those estab-
lished as a basis by the state house
committee. In a number of instances.
the donations exceeded the general

AGREE ON INQUIRY
Chamberlain Bill Laid Aside
for q Substitute.
President Wins in Fight Over
Military Probe.

Washington, May 22.-With less
than two minutes debate the threaten
ed breach between President Wilson
and the senate disappeared today
When by a viva voce vote an accept
able substitute was adopted in place
OF the Chamberlain resolution which
the president contended was nothing
less than proposal to constitute the
military affairs committee, a COM
mittee on the conduct of the war.
Senator Chamberlain said the COM
promise was satisfactory to him as it
authorized the military committee and
subcommittee to proceed not only
with the aircraft and ordnance inves-
legations but also to make any other
inquiries regarding army operations
The compromise pronounced accept
able to the administration and de-
clared by Senator Chamberlain to be
acceptable to him, was reached after
prolonged conferences and merely
proposes that any expenses incurred
by the military committee for inves-
tigation previously authorized shall be
paid from the contingent fund of the
senate. 1t eliminates entirely the pro-
posed authority for a subcommittee
to sit during the recess of congress.
Original Bill Passed Up.
By the adoption of the substitute, &
vote on the original Chamberlain reso
luton was avoided entirely. Presi
dent Wilson plainly told senators he
| considered such a vote practically &
question of a vote of confidence
In private discussion of the senate'
action today, both sides appeared in
clined to regard the outcome as a vic
tory but all were gratified that al
open breach had been avoided will
mutual satisfaction
Military committee men declared
the substitute resolution gives tn,
committee substantially the authorit,
and funds it desired to proceed will
the inquiries proposed, while admin
istration leaders declared it denie
power sought by the military com
mittee to have subcommittee con
tinue investigation during a recess O

nounced he hoped soon to announc
| the personnel of the subcommittee
which will conduct the aircraft ant

irish IN TURMOIL
Slim Feiners Drilling To Re-
sist ConscriptiOn..
Yet Nationalist Members O
Parliament Will Return.
BY WEBB MILLER.

Dublin, May 22.-John Dillon.
chairman of the United Irish League,
issued statement today declaring
that the Nationalist members who
British parliament for some time will
return.
TT has never been our intention to
absent ourselves permanently" Dillon
said. Il can't say, however, just when
we will return. Ireland has been
thrown into confusion by the futile
and mischievous proceedings OF the
government. To desert parliament
would be adoption of the Sim Feins'
tactics.
Il am extremely skeptical that the
government will officially give home
rule. 1 am neither in the councils of
the government nor the Sim Feiners.
The manifesto issued by the anti
CONSUMPTION conference, which met at
the Mansion house, denouncing the
Sim Fein arrests as an attempt to dis
credit and disrupt Ireland's united re-
dice Ireland's case in the eyes of
friendly countries, is regarded as sig
nificant in tina tit clearly shows the
unbending hostility and angry suspi-
cion against almost any governmental
action.
The organizations headquarters
boasts that Sim Fem companies are
drilling in the more remote sections
Of the country. Several raids in an eff
fort to steal arms and ammunition are
reported.
There are rumors that the govern
ment intends to confiscate the million
dollars in the anti CONSUMPTION fund.
AS result the Irish Independent ad-
vises local treasurers to take necessary
measures to protect the money.
The Herald says it would be a fatal
mistake to jump at the conclusion that
because month has elapsed, 1.-The
government has abandoned its nefari-
Gus designs upon the manhood of the
country"
Prisoners Leave Dublin.
Dublin, May PA further consign-
ment OF Sim Fem prisoners left Dub
lin today on the way to England The
group was not one of newly arrested
persons, it was stated, but merely q
small number who had been hereto
fore detained at local barracks.
