J. 5. REFUSES
 GERMAN BOATS
Washington Declines Share of Indemnity for Scapa
 Flow Sinkings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-The Unit ed States government has refused to accept any part of indemnity to be paid by Germany for the destruction of the German fleet in Scapa Flow, because it objects in principle to the settlement made by the supreme coun- cil, it was said today at the state de- partment.
 Germany, in compensation for the destruction of the surrendered war ships, is requested to deliver to the allies certain inland steamers and harbor facilities such as floating docks and tugs, and the council has decided to allocate two per cent of this material to the United States. Ambassador Wallace today informed the council that, if it's decision with respect to the award was final, the United States would waive it's claim to any part of the indemnity.
 State department officials would not explain the American govern ment's objection to the settlement, but it was recalled that from the first the American representatives at the peace conference have favored the de struction of the German ships, on the ground that their division among the other powers would make it necessary for this country to proceed with a much larger naval building program than would otherwise be regarded as necessary.

WATER POWER
 BILL IS NEAR
 BECOMING LAW
Measure Before Congress Ten Years May Be Vetoed
 by President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-By a vote of 40 to 16. the senate, nearing final action on the water power de velopment bill, rejected late today an amendment by Senator Harrison which would have exempted the wa ters of the St. Lawrence and Niagara rivers from it's provisions.
 All of the principal amendments to the bill, which the house passed last June, were acted upon and indica- tion tonight was that final vote would be taken tomorrow. The wa ter power bill has been before con- gross for ten years.
 Senator Nelson, in charge of the bill, sharply resented during debate today arguments by opponents of the measure to the effect that congress in passing the bill would be giving away water power and said he would not suggest that the people holding big power development plants were trying to defeat it.
 Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis consin, predicted that in the end the measure would be vetoed by Presi- dent Wilson because of amendments limiting franchises.

SUPREME COURT.
 UPHOLDS STATE LIABILITY LAW
Provisions of Constitution of Arizona Sustained by
 Tribunal.

PHOENIX, Jan. 13-The United States supreme court, in a decision made public today, sustained the em- ployers' liability law of Arizona and the provisions of the state const1tu- tion on that subject, it was announced at the office of Attorney General of Arizona Wiley k. Jones this evening. This decision will be far-reaching in all actions for civil damages arising ney general declared.
 The supreme court decision was given in the case of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad company vs. Cole, administratrix, appealed from Oklahoma, according to Mir. Jones'. In passing upon provisions of the Okla homa constitution, which are identical with the Arizona constitution, the de- cision as sent to the Arizona attorney general in message, reads:
 "The defense of contributory negli- gence or assumption of risk, shall in all cases whatsoever be a question of fact and shall, at all times, be left to the jury"
 Heretofore, "contributory negli- gence" has been a matter of law in Arizona courts rather than a matter of fact and has been included by the judges of the different superior courts in their instructions to the Jury. ne question has long been matter of controversy, however, and frequently employers have threatened to appeal to the United States supreme court.
 This is the first time within my knowledge" said Attorney General Jones, that such provision of con stitutional or statutory law has come directly before the United States SUI preme court for decision and which has now been sustained by the high est court of the land"

Banker Says Capital Is Tied Up Because of Heavy
 Impositions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Revision of the federal income tax law, to bring the levy within the bounds of mod eration," and afford relief ''in the present era of economic disturbances. was urged in an address here tonight by Otto H. Kahn, New York banker.
 MT. Kahn declared the three chief factors in upsetting present day economics were the worlds demand for America's raw materials and man. ufactured articles, imitation and faulty taxation.
 MT. Kahn reached these conclu- sions:
 No bond-foreign or domestic can compete with the attractiveness of tax exempt bonds to those in pos session of income of any consider able size.
 9Th" owners of medium sized or large incomes have gone on strike as far as investing in corporate se- curities is concerned, thus greatly diminishing the quantity of funds available for private enterprises.
 The American investment market for the time being has been largely destroyed; the shrinkage in the value of existing corporate bonds, which is to the largest extent attributable to the income tax, amounts to billions Of dollars; the free flow of capital and the normal working of the in vestment market, are absolutely basic elements for every kind of trade and industry; and we cannot have a return to normal conditions of trade prices, etc, until our invest ments will have come within meas ureable distance at least of normal conditions, which is impossible as long as our present income tax re mains in force"
