IN ORIENT FOR WAR
Hull Says Withdrawal Is Not
Contemplated Until
Peace Comes.
BY the Associated Press.

Secretary Hull indicated today that
the United States does not intend to
withdraw its troops or naval vessels
from China so long as the present
undeclared war between Japan and
China continues.
The Secretary of State asserted at
his press conference, in response to
a direct question as to the American
Governments intentions in this re-
spect, that this Governments re-
sponsibility for protecting its ma
tionals in disturbed areas lasts for
the duration of the period of danger.
Hull, recalling the United States eff
forts to evacuate its nationals from
the danger zone in the Far East, said
nevertheless its responsibility for pro-
tecting them is clear. He added that
the Government was going forward
with complete unanimity among all
departments involved in performing
that obligation.
The secretary said approximately
5000 Americans still remain in China,
but that they are "filtering OUT of the
country by degrees.
State Department officials also said
today this Government has not al
tered its refusal to recognize a block
ade of Spanish seaports.
Officials said they had reason to be-
lieve American ships carrying non
contraband cargoes had called at these
ports and would continue to ply
Spanish waters.
There should be no Interpretation
OF change in policy, they said, from
the Navys warning to American mar
iners of pirate" craft in the Med

Blow to Peace Hopes.
The Italo-German rejection was q

grew out of the Spanish civil war.

q diplomatic breach between Russia
and Italy.

Plans May Be Altered.
With Italy and Germany absent
from the Swiss Conference, there was
suggestion the British might SCRAP
a plan of restricted zones" for sub
marines in the Mediterranean.
British naval experts had devised
scheme whereby all participating
nations would agree to keep their SUBJ
marines within defined zones. Un.

areas would have been subject to at

Six Peace Groups Hail Him
for protecting Interest
of All Citizens"

A telegram voicing support Of
President Roosevelt's policies toward
the undeclared war in China and
asking that the neutrality law be in
voked and that the United States
military and naval forces be with
drawn from the war area was sent
to the President yesterday by six
peace organizations.
Agencies signing the message were
world Peaceways, the Women's In
ternational League for Peace and
Freedom, the National Council for
Prevention of War, the Fellowship of
reconciliation, the Emergency Peace
Campaign and the Committee of
Militarism in Education.
Addressed to the President, the
message read in part:
THE demand from American busi-
ness interests in Shanghai for the
protection of their property in the
war area reflects the conflict between
peace and profits predicted by you in
your speech at Chautauqua. They
call your order to evacuate the var
area cowardly. We call it a common
sense policy required if America is
to keep out of foreign wars.
!, 1T is not cowardly to protect the
interests of the whole Nation rather
than the interests of a few citizens.
1t is not cowardly to refuse to en-
danger your whole constructive plan
by risking a war.
We appeal to you to keep the
national welfare first and to follow
up your policy of requiring Ameri-
cans who stay in the danger zone to
do so at their own risk by:
withdrawing our naval and mill
tary forces before another Lusitania
or Maine is sunk.

DOOMED CONVICT
FACES DEATH BY
Three METHODS
Throat SIashed, Awaits
Chair or GaIIoWS

MILAN, Mich, Nov. 5 G.N.S0.
Three forms Of death lowered
over the doomed Tony Chebatoris
today after the State Of Illinois
offered to furnish an electric
chair for his execution.
ChebatoriS, first man to be con-
victed under the Federal law pro-
viding the death penalty TOR
murder during bank holdup, was
in a critical condition in the hos
pital of the Federal Detention
Prison here after a suicide attempt.
THROAT SLASHED
He slashed his throat and wrist
a few hours after a Federal court
jury at Bay City found him guilty
of the murder of Henry Porter, a
truck driver, while fleeing from
a frustrated Midland Bank holdup
September 90.
Doctors said his condition was
still critical, but gave him q
chance to recover.
MAY GO TO GALLOWS
If he escapes death from his
own hands, he will be brought into
Federal court to face one Of two
other forms Of death.
Because Michigan has no capital
punishment statute, Federal
authorities said Chebatoris prob
ably would be transferred to
another State to be executed.
ChebatoriS, it was added, can
either be sentenced to the gallows
or the electric chair.

INCREASE IN TAX
ON INCOME SEEN
AS POSSIBILITY
House Unit Keeps Open
Way to Raise Levy
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

u.N.S.J bOOSIS III 41lo4NAANA
income tax rates will remain a dis
tinct possibility until Congress
finally completes the proposed
revision of tax laws, members OF
the House Ways and Means sub
committee indicated today.
While the subcommittee inves.
tigation opened with consideration
of revision of the undiStributed
profits tax, it refused to close the
door to boosts in the individual
brackets.
VINsON EXPLAINS
1.-THE question Of individual
income rates is included in all
DIR studies" said Representative
Vinson (D.) of Kentucky, chair
man.
While the Administration has in
Dictated that no general tax boost
will be sought, the Treasury
served notice on the subcommittee
that it will oppose any revision
which cuts revenue.
Thus, if the undiSturbed profits,
capital gains and loss levles ana
nuisance" taxes are cut. Congress
may be asked to boost the In
dividual rates. ,
With Senator La Toilette (P0 OF
Wisconsin prepared to seek IN
creases in individual income tax
rates, including lowering OF ex-
emptions, Representative Lewis
CD of Maryland, member OF the
WAYS and Means Committee. also
plans to propose an increase on
middle class incomes.
MAGILL DISAPPOINTS
Failure of Undersecretary of
the Treasury Magill, in his first
meeting with the House subcom-
mittee to announce that the
Treasury will agree to revision OF
the undistributed profits tax
proved q disappointment to many
hackers of a change.
The Treasury it is believed, will
postpone definite recommended
ton until after President RooSe-
welt completes the budget for next
year.
Revision of the profits tax not
only to provide cushions" but to
lower rates, was proposed by Rep
resentative Disney Cd Of Okla
homa, member of the Subcommit
tee.
WOULD AID BUSINESS
81 think we will have to re-
duce the rates to give business
its head" said Disney.
Under the present law, after
paying fixed corporation taxes
ranging from to is per cent
on earnings, corporations pay up
to 81 per cent on their undis-
tributed net income. Opponents
of the law contend that it pre-
vents corporations from building
up reserves, expanding plants and
lowering prices.
Revision of the tax laws, it was
indicated, may take months. Mem
bers of the subcommittee, how
ever, expressed hope that new
law can be enacted by March IS,
when income taxes become due
for the present year.

HIGHER NETS DUE
|0NGRANCERR0ADS
Much Larger Wheat Crop
Is Expected to Bring
Good Prices.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. July 10.-Evidence
continues to accumulate that many OF
the granger roads will report excellent
earnings during the coming months,
according to Poor's Bond Advisory
Service.
While unfavorable weather condi-
tions during the next few weeks could
dim present bright crop prospects, it
seems certain that the 1887 wheat crop
will be substantially in excess Of the
1886 crop and that relatively good
prices will be received for 1t.
A larger total farm income, with
farm purchasing power relatively
high, should result. This indicates
that most of the granger roads should
obtain increased revenues. not only
from the transportation of the larger
crops, but from the inflow of merchan-
disc and manufactured goods which
the farmers will be able to buy.
Winter wheat, one Of the principal
sources OF farm cash income and upon
which many railroads depend for a
great deal of traffic, is now being
harvested in areas as far north as
Southern Illinois and the eastern half
OF Kansas" continues the analysis.
Harvesting is well under way in
Oklahoma, and about completed in
Texas, except in the Panhandle sec
ton Of that State In some sections
OF the wheat belt the crop is not yet
made, and can still be affected by poor
weather conditions and blight.
Allowing for minor damage from
blight in areas still to be harvested.
a crop Of some 675 million bushels
OF Winter wheat seems probable, al
though the June Government crop
report forecast 1887 Winter wheat
harvest of $40 million bushels. This
compares with 519 million bushels in
1896 and an average harvest in the
years from 1928 to 1882 OF 643 million
bushels. The Spring wheat crop Is
still uncertain. Unless a disaster oc-
ours, total wheat harvest Of well
over $50 million bushels for the United
States is proba BILE. compared with 626
million bushels in 1886"
