TELLS HOW U-BOAT
DROWNED 35 SAILORS

London, Aug 3O.-The story of
thirty-five British sailors being put
on the deck of a German submarine,
which was then deliberately sub
merged and the men left to drown
was told today at Bow Street Police
Court by Captain Starkey of the
British steamer, Torrington.
The Bow Street proceedings were
in connection with the war crime
charge of murder against Captain
Wilhelm Werner, commander of u
boat 35, who has not been arrested
by the German authorities.
The incident happened April 8,
1917, about $50 miles off the Scilly
Islands. Starkey is the sole survivor
of those aboard the Torrington, for,
after he and the crew had been or
dered on to the deck of the subma-
rine, he was taken below to be
questioned. To this fact he owed
his life
Starkey told how Werner had
| called him pirate who deserved to
be shot. "As for the others, "the
| German commander added, sslet
them SWIM At this time thirty
five of the Torrington's crew were
CT, the U-boat's deck and the re-
E'ainder were in one of the ships
lifeboats. German sailors went off
| to this lifeboat and brought back
meat and rum. None of the men in
that boat were ever heard of again.

A NEW
TAXATION BASIS,


Washington, Aug. 31.-A new
basis of taxation to take the place of
the House revenue measure and
practically all present tax laws was
publican, Utah, who announced he
was preparing a bill embodying the
plan, which he estimated would yield
$3,S95, 100000 this year. He added
with the Senate finance committee
when it begins consideration of re-
venue question Thursday.
The use of only six sources of tax
alton, including tax on Manufacture
ers' sales, instead of the more than
thirty-five now on the statute books
was advocated by Senator Smoot. The
six wells from which the Utah Sen
:ator proposed to pump revenue and
the amounts which he estimated each
would yield annually follow:
Income taxes maximum rate of
-32 per cent, $S3O,OOO,OOO.
ell per C6uL Oh u0L
profits $445, 100000.
Tobacco taxes (present rates)
$255, 100000.
Estate taxes, $3.50, 100000.
Manufacturers sales tax 6 per
cent? 1,2OO,OOO,OOO.
Import taxes (tariff) $40O,OOO,OOO.
While the six sources would pro-
sduce only $3,2SO,OOO,OOO Mr.. Smoot
estimated that the other $615,OOO,-
900 would be obtained from collec-
tion of unpaid taxes, receipts from
war salvage and the old tax on with
drawals of liquor from bonded ware
houses. Unpaid taxes, he figured
should add s34O,OOO,OOO to this
years revenue, war salvage receipts
should be around $2OO,OOO,OOO and
the liquor tax should produce an
other $75,OOO,OOO.
The $685., 100000 anticipated as
the laws yield will exceed the gov
ernment commitments at present by
$434,70O,00O, according to Mr.
Smoot. The surplus, he said, would
be used by the treasury to meet 9th.
er demands which might be made
upon it.
One of the arguments which Mr.
Smoot said could be made in favor
OF his program was it's simplicity
Anybody can make out his tax re
turns if CONGRESS- adODts his enc
gestions, he said, adding that il
would result in saving of perhaps
S25,OOO,OO0 in tax collections anc
would do away with about two-third.
