Nine Saved After Being Adrift In Life Boat For
 Two Days. BRITISH VESSEL, ALL ABOARD, THOUGHT LOST Hurricane Expected at Mouth of Mississippi; Ten Vessels Leave New Orleans Despite
 Warning.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The
 weather bureau report tonight
 said:
 "Hurricane warnings are dis
 played from the Louisiana coast
 eastward to Carabelle, Fla, and
 storm warnings on the North
 east Texas coast.
 Tropical storm apparently still in north central gulf, nov
 ing northeastward. Owing to
 absence of reports it is impos-
 sble to state definitely at what
 point it will strike the coast-
 1t is fairly probable that it will
 be west of the Mississippi
 river"
 Miami, Fla, Sept. '1.-Nine sur vivors of crew of 36 men aboard the Ward Line Steamer Corydon, which foundered off the Florida coast during Tuesdays hurricane were brought here today by the fish, ing schooner Island Home.
 They had been adrift two days on an upturned life boat without food and water.
 The Corydon went down i'll the Bahama channel at 10 o'clock Tues- day morning, carrying with her all lifeboats except one and only the nine persons brought here survived. c. c. Chrisianson, captain of the Corydon, refused to leave his vessel and went down with her, according to survivors.
 The Island Home left here early Wednesday morning in response to message, evidently relayed and garbled in tranmission, which said:
 "Fortvfive persons are adrift be- tween Fowney rock lighthouse and Cane Florida. They are in distress and without food"
 The survivors were exhausted when brought here.
 The only one in condition to talk was F. Addison, supercargo of the Corydon. He said he was jerked overheard by the lifeboat in which he and the others were saved. and crawled into it, rowed around the vessel and assisted nine other men into the boat. One of these, John Condron, seaman. became crazed from suffering and privation We'd nesday night and jumped overheard.
 After being adrift more than two days without food and water and buffeted by wind and wave, the shipwrecked men attracted the at- tention of the keeper of Fowney rock Penthouse. who sent message to Miami asking for aid for them.

Washington, Feb. Records OF the
treasury department and the APP
preparations committee Of the house
and senate today showed why congress
is about to enact the biggest tax bill.
in history--a $4,000, O0O, 900 revenue
measure that will take an average Of
$50 this year and $40 next year from
every individual Of the nations 1907
600, 900 population.
These records show that the gov
eminent will cost the people $l8,000,-
100000 this fiscal year and 100000
100000 the 1920 fiscal year.
The tax bill now before congress
raises only one-third Of the amount
required for the tax-spending year
ending June 8, 1919, and only 40 per
cent of the tax expenditures for the
eax-spending year ending June 80,
1920.
Where is the rest of the money
coming from?
There is only one way to get it
bonds. Therefore, unless the tax
spending can be brought to the
limits of the tax-paying there will be
bond issues not only in 1919 but in
1920.
For the 1919 tax-spending year
congress appropriated more than
$4,000, OOO,OO but the ending of the
war caused cancellation of contracts
totaling more than $2,0O0,000,000 and
a bill in congress cancels $1,0OO,OOO,-
900 more. The ultimate total of such
cancellations will be about $18,O00,-
100000, or half the sum appropriated.
This leaves $4,000, 100000 as the net
cost of the government this year.
Of this amount the pending tax bill
is estimated to raise $6,070, 900, 900.
Some congressman say it won't
raise more than $4,000, OO,00O, but If
it raises the amount its sponsors hope
for it will leave approximately $12,-
600, 900 900 unprovided for.
This means two Liberty bond is
sues this year, many members be-
Heve.
Next year the tax bill is estimated
to raise a little less than $4,20, OOO,-
900, but if it comes up to expecta-
lions that will leave nearly $4,000
100000 to be raised by more bond
issues.
Appropriations for the 1920 tax
wear bill as the estimate Of S10,-
100000, 900 which has been made by
members Of the house and senate and
which was forecasted by former Sec
rotary McAdoo before the senate
finance committee.
Congress passed IA regular APP
preparation bills for the support OF
the government. These IA bills will
total $500, 900, 900 for 1920. This
figure is obtained from bills only
passed and departmental estimates on
others. If the army Of occupation is
kept in Germany q long time or the
total armed strength of the United
States exceeds 100000 this figure will
be too low inasmuch as the army ap-
preparation bill carrying $1,916,000
900 Is based on an army Of 500, 1000.
