ASKFOR TIME
TO PAY TAXES
Business Men Say Quarterly
Levy Due Dec. IS Comes
as Hardship to Many.

Business men generally are unit
ing behind q proposal for the post
ponement Of paying the quarterly
instalment of business taxes, due
December Is.
APPEAL To CONGRESS.
Congress will be asked to rush
through emergency legislation In the
form OF joint resolution As soon
as II convenes. the proponents Of
the proposal being convinced that
some such measure OF relief. how
ever small. is necessary to avert an
unparalleled crop of business failures
and bankruptcies In the near future.
Republican leaders In the House
and Senate already have been ap-
preached regarding the practicability
OF the plan. and while expressing
doubts as to their ability to push
II through have shown a favorable
attitude. This Is particularly true
of those Senators who live in COM
munities where business conditions
for the retailer and jobber have be-
come ominous. Legislators from the
agricultural States, however. are In
an ugly mood owing to the failure
OF the Federal Reserve Board to
grant the farmers and cotton grow
ers the credit extensions that were
asked. 1t Is possible that they might
oppose the plan to postpone the pay
ment Of business taxes for a period
Of six months or more on the ground
that II Is ''class legislation" and
therefore discriminatory.
Conditions in the textile Industry
are desperate. according to business
men. Many small dealers are on the
edge of failure, owing to the present
temper of the buying public, 1t Is
stated, and some way out must pe
found II widespread disaster 10 to
be averted.
II these dealers, in particular
could postpone the payment OF taxes
until a date in the near future when
business conditions become normal IT
would "tide them over" q difficult
period.

SIMS SAYS KEEPING TRACK OF SUBS AT
 SEA SAVED SHIPS
Admiral Supports Charge of Navy's 'MiscOnception'
 of Duty

: Washington, March 12.-More ship ping was saved by keeping track o1 German submarines and routing yes sells clear of them than by any other single measure, Rear Admirals Sims today told the Senate Investigating committee.
 The Admiral's statement was in support of this charge that the navy department has fundamental mis- conception" of the problem of de- lending home waters in keeping American naval forces on this side of the Atlantic, rather than by giv- ing "whole hearted and vigorous CO., operation" to the allies.
 Actual experience has shown," the witness continued, "that we could de- pend upon keeping reasonably ac- curate track of all submarines at sea. We were certain we would never have to deal with but one or two submarines at a time, on our own coast and it was impossible to do a great deal toward providing for the safety of shipping our. our home waters without the use of any anti submarine craft at all"
 Admiral Sims presented cable grams announcing the departure from Germany of the first raiders for the American coast, sent more than three weeks before the vessel appeared in American waters. The message, he said, were remarkable for the ac- curacy with which every move of the enemy was foretold, adding that they were founded on absolute informa- tion obtained by the British admir- atty. They proved, he argued, the soundness of his original recommen- dations to the department that all available forces should be concen- trated in Eurohean waters.
 Ut was of course in the German interest" he said "to create abroad the impression that they Were about to undertake submarine attacks up- on the American coast and it is to be noted that such rumors were con- tinually circulated by German agents in Europe and America for the pur- pose of confusing the navy depart ment and to retain craft on the American side.
 "The fact that such propaganda was not without effect on the navy de- partment was llustrated-numerous cables from the navy department, mentioning these reports of probable submarine activities on the Allan tic coast"
 Admiral Sims read numerous and letters to support his allegations that the navy department failed to give effective support in winning the war His testimony will be interrupted tomorrow to allow the appearance of Herbert Hoover, whom the admiral desired to be called to substantiate his statements regard ing the seriousness of the food sit uation in Europe in 1918.

NEAR EAST TANGLE
 AGAIN IS 0MLN0US
 FOR ALLIED NATIONS
Indian and MOslem Activity is Feared by Great
 Britain

Londos, March 12.-Earl Curzon's speech on the Turkish problem, made in the house of lords yesterday and other officials and unofficial state ments on the subject, are regarded as showing that the Near East tanglc is serious and is causing anxiety by compromises threatened in con- nections with Syria and Mesopotamia, The shadow of Indian and Moslem opinion darkens the problem and it is believed influence the counsels of the allies more than is always inn mediately apparent.
 The suggestion that the employ ment of force against the Turks might excite general hostility in the Mus sulman world is regarded as one that cannot safely be ignored. In some quarters the feeling prevails that there is danger if the Turks are pressed they may immediately be joined by the Arabs.
 Among the days reports was one that France has. been given man. date over Cilicia, but this was un- confirmed. It is argued in some quarters that Frances hands are too full to undertake this responsibility Great Britain is similarly regarded ruled out as mandatory for the same reason and the league of na- tions is looked to as the only hope for protecting Turkeys non- -Moslem subjects.
 Earl Curson's statement attribut- ing the cause of the Turkish trouble to awaiting action by the United States is not commented on by some editorial writers, but others point out that if a settlement had been taken year ago, when Turkey was militarily humbled, the present trou- ble would not have arisen.
 Reports are current that bolshe- vist activities, directed against the allies, have cropped out in cooper ation with the Turkish nationals and in near India. It is said that spe- cially trained bolshevik propagandist have installed printing presses at where pamphlets, written in the vernacular. with a view to un- dermining British authority in In- dia and stirring up trouble on the Afghan border, are being produced

New Orleans, March 12. Twenty five uniformed policemen tonight kept order on the levce and guarded John Cudney, who calls himself "brother lssiah," aged 73, house boat man of the Mississippi river Watchman of the government barge Tonty, chopper and peddlcr of kind ling wood and self-styled "healei through faith" Thousands of per sons thronged the levec during the day and tonight several hundred re manned, waiting their turn for "lay ing on of hands,"
 Five policemen who endeavored to force back score of persons in the crowd late today, were swept off their feet and pushed into the Mississippi river, They were imme- diately dragged from the shallow water and mud and suffered no phy- sical injuries.
 Superintendent of Police Mooney announced he would not interfere with the activities of the boatman.
 "Hc is doing no harm and from what l hear he is doing good, so let him alone," was the superintendent 's statement.
 An aged paralytic protegc of the superintendent was taken by one of the police captains to test the pow. CT of the "hcaler" but the crowd was so great he was unable to get treatment.
 Oscar r. Bowling, president of the state board of health, announced he did not intend to interfere, as the boatman was making no charges and prescribing no drugs or medicines.
 Stories of "cures" increased today and only one denial was obtained by investigators for local papers that of man who stated the "cure of q partly paralized right arm had not been altogether permanent.
