Taking His Keys; Six Are
Nearly Drowned in River

Fifteen youths, ranging in age from
sixteen to nineteen, joined IN Jail
break at the House of Refuge on Ran
dall's Island early yesterday. They at
tackled keeper, Thomas Downs. in
Hictlng injuries which may prove fatal.
Then they tried to steal rowboats in
which to escape to Manhattan. Six
were rescued in the swrling waters of
Harlem KIN after their boat had over
turned. The others were found hidinq
In bitches and buildings on the island.
All later were arraigned in Harlem
Court and held on charges of felonious
assault, pending the outcome of the
keepers injuries. A hearing was set

borer, eighteen years old, was leader
in the break, according to the police.
He sawed the lock off his cell. if is

rounds struck him on the head with q
hammer
Then he liberated the other fourteen
boys and all set upon Downs, who
showed signs of recovering conscious
ness, beating him into inscnsibilitv

with these the boys unlocked the doors
barring their way to the open. leaving
the keeper bound with bed sheets in
Di Domenicos cell.
Six managed to commander row

Need OF U. S. Aid Urgent,
Says Red Cross W orker
Officer Of Organization Tells of
Devastation in War

Homer Folks, lieutenant colonel
Of the American Red Cross, who direct
ed the civil affairs of that organization
in France for nearly two years, ar
rived here yesterday from Liverpool
on the Cunard liner Carmana with an
urgent appeal to the generosity of the
American people to help the suffering
peoples of the Allied nations
Although the losses of the Allies
were not incurred directly for Amer
ica's benefit, he said, they were in
CURED for cause which later be-
came hers, and it is fitting that Amer
lea should assist abundantly in help
ing out these war-stricken nations. He
has been over all the devastated areas
in the west and in the east, he said,
and had frst-hand knowledge of the
enormous poverty and depression
All is darkness and gloom over
there" he said, "but here the sun still
shines. We have our homes and our
families and we still live in comfort.
The need of American help is still as
serious in some of the devastated re-
glons as it was at any time during tbs
war When the wal ended millions Of
refugees began to give up such jobs
and shelter as they had and 90 back
t. what had been their old homes, some
Of them walking hundreds of miles"

Has Capacity of $1,000
Rations Every Day

Every soldier from France debark-
ing at Hobokcn is served with hot
meal by the Red Cross emergency cam
teen before he starts for the demobili
zation camp. Tho canteen has q ca
pacty of $4,000 meals every twenty
four hours, and has been overtaxed
only once, when the Leviathan and the
lmperator arrived with 10000 men and
the Ohioan and Manchuria arrived the
same day with thousands more.
John S. Ellsworth, head of the Red
Cross metropolitan cantcen service
gave all the credit for the establish
ment of the port kitchen yesterday to
General David c: Shanks, commander
of the port of debarkation.
General Shanks asked our CO.
opcration,' said Mr. Ellsworth. The
army supplies the hot meals and pies
tie Red Cross the coffee, buns, cigar
cites and candy The service, of
course, is entirely in the hands of Red
Cross workers."
Captain John ]. wilkins, in charge
of the port kitchen, has invented n
containcr, built on the vacuum princi-
pie, to keep the meals hot for the re-
turning soldiers The huge pots are
insulated with burning charcoal.
Mr.. Ellsworth said yesterday that
the favorito dish of tho returning
troops Is "hot dogs" and liberty cab

ton IN failing more quickly to de-

TO the expenses of the government.
People Must Pay
Some other taxes must be raised
to substitute those repealed The peo-
pie must pay. There is no ground for
complaint on the part of the American
people, because these taxes are nee
essary to pay for the war.
The taxation burden of the United
States is small relatively, when one
considers the taxes that must be paid
by the people of the Allied countries.
Our national debt is about S37. 800 600
600, which is not alarming We have
loaned to foreign governments about
99,ooo, 100000. We have loaned some
OF them money to pay interest on prev-
Gus loans, but hereafter we expect
them to pay the interest themselves"
Conditions throughout the world are
such. Representative Fordney said.
that a reduction of taxes bearing upon
the poorer classes is particularly de-
slrable. Where possible the burdens
should be imposed upon those having
larger incomes, he said
Deficit Billion or More
THE expenses of the government
for the coming year" he continued,
ARE going to be in excess of the reve-
nues collected by the government
somewhere between one and two bill
ion dollars. The important question
is, Where are we going to get the
money?
"This is matter for the serious con-
sideration of Congress. When we re-
peal any Of the existing laws we
must bear in mind the question of
where we are going to get the rev.
enues in lieu thereof"
Turning to the Democrat side Of the
House, after he had told of the plan
Of the Ways and Means Committee for
protecting industries that have been
developed during the war, Representa-
tive Fordney said:

friends of the minority to help US pro-

And where you get a state of affairs
in which the court loses faith and con-

System Won't Hold Up.
Magistrate House said that II the
pressure brought on the courts kept
up the present system simply won't

1t is understood that 300 cases will
bo brought into Traffic Court to-
morrow.
"The people of this city know just
how anxious Magistrate Cobb and
punish reckless drivers" said Magis-
trate House, but I am afraid the
police aren't doing much to achieve
that purpose.
Il can understand that the Police
Department may feel that a iremen-
dous drive such as they have been
carrying on since Monday will have a
moral effect. If we believed they were
going at things in the right way we'd
stand ready to help them.
"But it seems to me they ought to
give more attention to serious viola
tions of the law. They are mixing the
type of violations for which they are
making wholesa arrests and bringing
us cases which heretofore have not
been deemed sufficient basis for taking
up this courts time
Usual Average About Sixty
The Traffic Court operated four days
last week. No cases were heard on
Memorial Day, and yesterdays SEES
sion was devoted to adjourned cases.
Robert J. Sheridan, the court clerk,
said the daily average heretofore sell
dom went above sixty.
During the last week 1874 arrests
were made for "failing to keep to the
right; 1O7 arrests for turning with
out signal; GO drivers who "failed to
step on signal" were arrested and 81
drivers were brought into court for

Commenting on the crusade, Chief
Magistrate McAdoo said last night:
"The only way really to regulate
traffic is to have the traffic squad work
ing on we'll established basis, sys-
tematically and courageously carried
out all the time. You can't regulate
traffic by spur.s, by making raids and

lucky, Democrat, attacked the repeal
for an hour At the conclusion Of
his speech a point OF no quorum was
made and Representative Fordney pro
posed an adjournment until Monday.
Will BE Passed Monday.
In spite Of the setback the repeater
received, after it was supposed the wa
had been cleared for its passage within
an hour there seemed to be no chance
that it would be defeated when it
reaches a vote Monday. The opponents
OF tax reductions have powerful ar
gument, however. in the figures on
revenue losses, and they threaten to
make hard shedding for other repealers

Claude Kitchin. Democrat. of North
Carolina, was accused by Representa-
tive Thomas OF having joined the ranks
of the high protectionists when he in
dicated that the loss of revenue on
luxury taxes probably would be made
up by increased import duties.
Representative Thomas asserted that
through the repeal Of the luxury taxes
the Republicans were attempting to
gain political advantage. This asser-
ton was vigorously denied by Repre-
sentative Fordney.
The Ways and Means Committee is
ready to report to the House soon
as the war-tax repeater has been dis
posed Of, resolution repeating the
10 per cent taxes on ice cream and

Demand Is Widespread

representative Fordney said there
was d widespread demand for the re-
peal Of all consumption taxes, which
the Treasury Department estimated
would yield $3.50 900, 900 annually, and
especially for the cancellation of the
tax on automobiles. If all these taxes
are repealed, he explained, there will
be large deficit in government fin
ances and new ways Of securing rev
enue must be found.
He told the House that the Ways and
Means Committee will carefully con-
slider what American industries need
protection from German competition.
