ENEMY BOUGHT OTHER

Propaganda Fund Used in
Many U. S. Cities, Federal
Agents Learn
BY the Associated Press

new hOrk, july 20.
Use of German propaganda funds to
obtain whole or partial control Of Amer-
ican newspapers has not been confined to
New York city, according to statement
today by Deputy Attorney General
Becker of New York.
Commenting On the investigation which
led to the arrest of DR.. Edward A.
Rumely on a charge which involves al
legged purchase of the New York Evening
Mail for the German Government in
1915, Mr.. Becker declared that informa- :
tion in his possession and that of the
Federal alien property custodian, for
whom he acted in the Mail case, indf-
Gates. that Teuton millions were spent in
districts far from the metropolis to in
fiuence news and editorial policies in
favor of the German cause. An exten-
sive Investigation now in progress. he as
serted, may be expected to reveal other
centers of German influence and the
methods followed in putting it's propa-
ganda into effect.
In connection with Mr. Becker's state
ment 1t was learned authortatively to-
u.y that another American newspaper
passed into German control before the
United States entered the war In man
ner similar to that alleged to have been
followed in the case of the Mail. This
newspaper is located in the far West, and
action against its ostensible owners is
predicted as an early development.

PLAN HIGH TARIFF
FOR WAR REVENUE
Democrats Start Today on
Draft of New $8,OOO,.
100000 Measure
TO DOUBLE INCOME TAX
Excess Profits and Many Com.
modities Will Be Made tc
Pay More
Washington, July is.


The new ss,ooo,oooooo war revenue
bill, which the House Ways and Means
Committee will start to draft in
eecret today will provide for substan-
tial increases in the tariff schedules
Also 1t will double the tax on incomes
and excess profits.
-. The plan OF the congressional finan-
ciers to adopt high tariff schedule
was brought out today when Frank
w. Taussig, chairman Of the United
States Tariff Commission, testified
before the committee at the last Of
the open hearings on the new bill.
Would Prevent Gougins
Professor Taussig urged the COM
rnittee tr have a paddock" resolution
introduced in Congress and passed
before the new revenue measure Is
brought out that would make the in
crease in the tariff retroactive. He
would lock the doors Immediately
against imports on which the duties
will be raised and the holding of them
for the expected advance in prices
that would follow the proposed in.
crease in the tariff.
E. p. Costigan, of Colorado, another
member of the commission, said that
when the Dngley tariff went into ef-
feet 1t was found that immense stores
of raw wool had been brought into
the United States. and that for two
years the wool importers were able
Ito pocket the advance in the wool
tariff.
The paddock" resolution would be.
come effective as soon as the new
revenue bill is introduced in the House,
but the increased tariffs could not be
collected until the revenue measure
was finally passed.
This system of preventing importers
from pocketing the increases in tariffs
is in use in England, Canada, France
and Italy. Professor Taussig ex.
pressed the opinion before the com
mittee that it is much more effective
than the present "foretaX" method in
vogue in the United States.
Cites Sugar Contracts
He explained to the committee that
the large importers are already fol-
lowing an example set by the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company and in
serting in all of their contracts a
clause providing that the increases
in tariff rates shall be paid by the
purchaser Of the imported articles.
This Is preparedness legislation and
has reference to the early future
said Professor Taussig, rather than
immediate conditions" He said that
the paddock" legislation, in his opin-
ton,. is desirable only as a war emer-
gency measure.
Professor Taussig will sit with the
Ways and Means Committee while
the new revenue bill is being drafted.
Chairman Kitchin.u of the committee,
said that it will follow In a general
way the suggestions made by the
Treasury Department, and that 1t will
provide, in addition to new sources Of
revenue, for double the amount of
taxation on excess profits, incomes
and commodities levied by the exist
ing revenue act.
The new measure, he added, will not
be ready for presentation in the House
until September l.

this mean that organized labor is to

objected to the raising of the issue. He
said that the federation should have
sufficient confidence in it's war indus

JURYMEN AT WEST CHES7EH
HEAR OF FIFTH WARD PLOT

TO the jury, Carey never moved his ewes
from the group of Jurors. The letter
told of alleged threats by policemen to
crack heads" and close up shops on
sunday. if Deutsch was not supported
at the primary When Taulane COM
pleted reading the letter, Stern was
turned over for cross-examination.
Stern Recounts Ward Leaders
Stern, under cross-examination. testi-
fed that his parents had moved into
the Fifth Ward when he was five years
old, that he has lived there thirty-two
years and that his father kept a licensed
hotel He said he was interested in
politics ever since he was a boy, and
described the boundaries of the ward
for the benefit of the jury.
Il Eaw what the police did to- my CO.
religionists and determined to stop it
some day." was his answer to the ques-
ton why he became interested in poll
tics so young Mr.. Gray called upon
Stern to go over the various leaders of
the ward within his memory
Judge Hause interrupted and wanted
to know what was meant by leader, ;"
whether it implied the head of a partic-
ular faction.
There was always one leader" Stern
replied to the judges Interrogation He
was the man who had the police with
him. The leader always had the police
with him"
Slur at Maloney Ruled Out.
The name of Samuel G. Maloney, star
witness of the Commonwealth, was
brought into the testimony at this
point.
He was famous" interrupted Mr..

Judge Hause ordered Gray's reference
stricken from the records
"All right; l intend to ask Maloney
that himself" Gray retorted. Maloney
was Republican leader of the Fifth
Ward until ousted by Carey, present
leader
Gray asked Stern il there were any
Democrats in the Fifth Ward.
Not many" Stern answered
Mr.. Taulane objected, Gray explained
the reason he asked the question was
that some of the division election returns
showed no Democratic votes. Probably
counted on some other column" re-
marked Judge Hause, who, prior to his
ascendency to the bench took some in
terest in Democratic politics in Chester
County. After a brief reference to Ma
loney's leadership, Stern described the
career of Carey, his rise to power and
his succession from police lieutenant in
the Fifth Ward to political leader. Stern
denied that he himself was Carey
lieutenant or worker. He described him
self as friend of, attorney for, and
advisor of Carey"
Court Upholds stern's Right
He declined to say that he could not
have gone TO the Legislature without the
consent of Carey, neither would he say
