FIGURE TO REPLACE
 STOCK TAX LOSSES
Court Decision Will Cost U. s.
 800 Billion Yearly

Washington. March 10.--M em be IS of the ways and means committee are disturbed over the supreme court de cision declaring unconstitutional the income tax on stock dividends Until they can get definite infornla- tion as to the money collected from
 this source, they cannot detern1ine ,
 the necessity for a new revenus measure. If the tax loss should be found large enough to require the
 finding of further means for financing
 the governments obligations, 1t
 would dash the hopes of both repub- licans and democrats for an early ad- journment for the campaign. Chair
 man FordneS, of the ways and means committee. does not believe the amount will be large enough 10 cause serious concern to member of congress.
 Representative LonsWorth, repub- lican member of the com mittee. has the nearest to an official estimate of the amount of revenue affected. He was informed two oH tllEee months ago, after the case was argued in the supreme court, that the refunds, ir case the tax was declared unconsti- tutional. would be about S35,o00,OO0 Iol lV1t-lo StUoul Nto,VVV,UOU for 191S-19, provided the decision came down before Jan. 1, 1920. In- asmuch as it did not come down un- til afterward, it was believed the re- fund will be much less than s75,- 000,000.
 Representative kitchin, who was chairman of the ways and means committee when the law was writ ten, estimates the total loss at sev- eral hundred million dollars.
 thereafter" he declared, 1T think we will lose $500. 900, 900 a year from this source. Big corporations will have stock dividends instead of cash dividends, and therefore will cut us out of about s5O0.O00,000 a year."
 Mr. Kitchen would favor an in crease in the normal tax on corpora tions to 16 per cent from 10 per cent. This would be 60 per cent increase.
 The most equitable way to raise the lost revenue,' he added, would be to increase the flat rate on cor porations. I do not think this de- csion will operate to the interest of the big corporations as much as the majority decision of the court seemed greSS. to make good what we will lose by the tax on stock dividends, will or ought to, so increase the in- come tax on corporations to make good the loss"

Turner Hall Not to
 Be Sold As Reported

The report current about the city that the Turner hall property is to be sold is without foundation, George Froeba, one of the officers of the Turner society, stated today. He said that there had been some people who had been led to believe that the place would be sold. owing to the talk about a skating rink to be erected on the site. The society needs the hall for it's own purposes and the sale. of the place is not even being considered, he added.

 sends Out $. O. S. CaIts.
 Admiral Sims said that on April i. 13. 16. 22, 23 and 24 he sent cable grams to the department urging the necessity of sending naval aid prompt ly but that they had little effect. On April 1 6, he said, he received a mes sage from the department saying that yours of April 14, will be given ear nest and serious attention" and on -ApT1I - uc IeCcltcu dlIOLilcl 1icSSdSe saying that "six destroyers are ready to sail immediately upon receiving in formation as to the desired port and best route to follow. they ap- preached the Irish coast"
 On the same date Admiral Sims said. he received another dispatch signed by Secretary Daniels informing him the department contemplated sending four destroyers and four pa troI vessels to Arctic coast to CO., operate with Russian forces and ask ed his opinion of the propositions
 Recommendations Ignored.
 Tt can be seen from this second message how little importance the department had apparently given to my recommendations,' said the ad- miral "In all my dispatches I had emphasized the necessity of concen- trating all available American anti submarine craft in the critical area, of the submarine zone. yet the de- partment contemp plated sending four deStroNerS and four patrol craft to the Arctic coast at a time when so far as l know they were intending to send only one division of destroyers to the critical Zone.'
 After consulting the British admir- alty, Admiral Sims said he urged the navy department not to send any forces o the Arctic but to follow his original recommendations. On April 26. he said he received a messag in forming him of the sailing of six de- stroyers from Boston for Great Brit ain. but containing no information with regard to the other forces.
 My despair can be imagined.' said he.
 Admiral Sims testimony was far from complete when the committee adjourned until tomorrow after two hours session.
