WASHINGTON', Jan. 29. The new
revenue bill, embracing excess profits
and increased inheritance taxes, de
signed to produce J248.000.000. and a
bond issue not exceeding $100,000,000
to meet the threatened deficit next year,
was reported today by the House ways
and means committee. Democratic
members voted wlldly for It and the
Republicans against It. The bill will
be considered in the House tomorrow,
'Chairman Kltchfn announced.
. Chairman Kitchin. in presenting the
committee report, said he expected to
reach a vote on it late Wednesday. The
committee estimated the amount neces
sary to be raised at $402,389,933.
It was said that bond issues to re
imburse the treasury would aggregate
3195.256.292. Including $162,418,000 for
expenditures incident to the Mexican
situation to June next; $21,838,292 for
Alaskan railroad construction to June
30, 1918, and $11,000,000 for the armor
plate plant. The estimated amount to
be raised by taxation was placed by the
report' at $207,133,647, and the total
estimated additional receipts under the
proposed bill at $248,000,000, which
comprises $226,000,000 from the excess
profits tax and $22,000,000 from the
estate tax.
The margin of $41,000,000 between
estimated receipts and the estimated
revenue requested is necessary, the
committee believes, in order to be on
the safe side, as the excess profits tax
revenue is only a rough estimate.

INDIANS CABLE GRATITUDE
Berlin Reports Wilson's Speech la
Pleasing to India.
BERLIN, Jan. 29. (By wirelers to
Sayville. N. Y.) The Overseas News
Agency says the executive committee
of the Indian National party has sent
to President Wilson a cablegram ex
pressing gratitude in "the name of
the 315.000,000 oppressed persons in
India" for the Presidents address to
the Senate.
The message also asserts there can
be no lasting world's peace until India
is freed from "ruthless plunder and
exploitation at the hands of Great
Britain, which has reduced a land once
famous for its riches, moral excellence
and intellectual achievements to a state
of chronic poverty, famine and com
plete moral and mental stagnation."
WOMAN ON EGGS KNITS
Rescue Declined and Crocheting
Goes On in Snow.
Rescuers rushed to the side of a
woman who had fallen in the snow on
Eleventh and Washington streets last
night. Her escort solicitously handed
her a wee ball of crocheting with the
remark "Here's your knitting."
In spite of the many offers of as
sistance, the woman on the snow
seemed not inclined to be helped and
continued to sit in the center of a
gradually widening circle of people.
"Well, it's getting cold," she said.
"Guess I might as well get up." As
she arose the remains of a dozen eggs
were sticking on the back of her coat.
"And they're high, too," lamented the
escort.

ELECTION IS CALLED
Japanese Contend for Respon
sible Government.
'ELDERS" IN DISREPUTE
Leader of Constitutionalists Says
Old Order Is Anachronism and.
Must Be Reformed Marquis
Okuma to Take Stump.
TOKIO, Jan. 29. The government has
fixed April 20 for the elections to the
new House of Representatives, and
June 23 for the assembling of the Diet.
In an interview given the Associated
Press, Yukio Ozaki, leader of the con
stitutional party, upon whose life an
attempt was made last week as he was
addressing a mass meeting called to
demand the resignation of the Cabinet
shortly before the dissolution of the
House of Representatives by Imperial
decree, declared that the constitution
alists would fight to obtain a regime
of recognition of political parties in
the Diet as the basis for the formation
of cabinets.
M. Ozaki contended that the accession
of Lieutenant-General Count Teraucht
as premier, in defiance of the spirit of
representative government, was made
possible by the unconstitutional inter
vention of the genero, or elder states
men, who during the past quarter of
a century have been a powerful voice
in affairs of the empire without any
responsibility to the Diet, the Cabinet
or even the Emperor himself. Alluding
to the elder statesmen he said:
"The time has arrived when responsi
bility must be fixed. They are an
anacronism in the new Japan."
Whatever the outcome of the struggle
for truer representative government, he
added, he was convinced that friend
ship with America would remain the
aim of Japan. Ex-Premier Marquis
Okuma will takd the stump for the
constitutionalists in the coming campaign.

Discussing vocational education leg
islation with Senator Hoke Smith, the
President said he favored the bill
passed by the Senate over that adopted

him that it would be possible to te
cure final action on the measure at the
present session.
Senator RansdelL of Louisiana, told
Mr. Wilson that when the rivers and

town of Newport considerable informa
tion regarding depositions taken here
during the last four days in the con
test of the will of Harley H. Prouty,
by his son, Carl Reginald Prouty, under
an open commission from the County
Court of Multnomah, Or.
Walter Backrack, of Chicago, repre
senting the Salvation Army; Jerry E.

proponents of the will and Arthur M.
Geary, of Portland, for the contestant
have conducted the taking of deposi
tions before County Judge Spear, who
is serving as commissioner.
Newport is a town in which the
Prouty family owns the lumber mill,
pulp mill, electric light plant and large
interests in the Orleans Trust Com
pany and other properties. ,
Ex-Governor G. S. Prouty and his half
brother Ed J. Prouty have been called

delusions regarding his wife and son,
Carl.
SHIP GROUNDS OFF JERSEY
Coast Guards Unable to Reach Un
identified Steamer.
NEW YORK. Jan. 29. An unidenti
fied steamship is aground about a mile
south of Barnegat Light. New Jersey,
and the Coast Guard Service is unable
to render assistance on account of the
rough sea, according to a report re
ceived here tonight.
The coast guards at Barnegat. which
Is about SO miles from Sandy Hook,
said that the fog was so' thick It was
impossible for,. them to obtain the name
of the steamship with their signal
lights.
WASHINGTON". Jan. 29. The Ad
ministration's $800,000,000 defense bud
get began to take final shape In Con
gress today, when the House passed
the fortifications bill, carrying a total
of more than 151.000.000 for coast de
fenses, and the House naval commit
tee completed its 1918 naval appropri
ation bill, with a total of more than
$351,000,000.
The Army appropriation bill, the
third element of the programme, still
is in the House military committee,
which is expected to complete it next
week. Estimates for the Army reach
a total of more than $360,000,000, ex
clusive of numerous deficiency meas
ures resulting from the border mobili
zation and the rising coat of war ma
terials. Universal Tralntna Improbable.
The only other military" legislation
pending is the universal military train
ing bill before a Senate sub-committee
which will conclude its hearings
this week, when Major-Generals Scott
and Wood are to be recalled for cross
examination by Senator Lee. of Mary
land, on their previous statements that
Federalization of the National Guard
has proved a failure. It is not ex
pected Congress will take any action
on the universal training bill at this
session.
The Navy bill carries a total of $351.
433,245, as against $313,000,000 last
year. It provides for the construction
of three 42.000-ton battleships at a cost
of $28,178,592 each: one battle cruiser,
at a cost of $26,694,496; three scout
cruisers, at $6,747,145 each; 15 destroy
ers, at $1,748,612 each; one destroyer
tender, at $2,808,000; one submarine
tender, at $2,198,400, and 18 800-ton
type submarines, at $1,434,093 each
The programme Is that recommended
by the department and represents one
half of the remaining portion of the
three-year programme approved last
year.
Small' Submarines Omitted.
The committee departed from the de
partment's recommendations only In
the type of submarines provided for.
No small coast defense submarines are
authorized, the committee having de
cided against the small 400 to 600-ton
type of boat, such as those now in serv
ice. Taking up the problem of getting
under construction the four battle
cruisers authorized last year, the com
mittee raised the limit of cost for hull
and machinery to $19,000,000 from $16.
500,000. Department officials believe
all four vessels can be placed with pri
vate bidders at that figure. The com
mittee also heeded, however. Secretary
Daniels' recommendations that Navy
yards be fitted to build large numbers
of capital ships, authorizing the ex
penditure of an additional $12,000,000
for that purpose in. the event the de
partment ia unable to make satisfac
tory contracts for any vessel In the
present bill or left over from the pre
ceding measure. This would make
available a total of $18,000,000 for
Navy-yards.
Cruiser Allowance Increased.
For the three scout cruisers still await
ing satisfactory bids the committee
raised the cost for hull and machinery
to $6,000,000 from $5,000,000. One ves
sel was ordered from the Seattle Con
struction Company some months ago at
the lower figure, but no other Dlds
were received.
Another new provision of the bill
Increases the number of appointments
annually at Annapolis to be made from
the enlisted personnel of the Navy
from 25 to 100. Appointments may D
made whenever vacancies occur.
The new battleships will be the most
powerful war vessels ever built. They
will have a speed of 23 knots an hour
and carry main batteries of L2 16-inch
guns each. Instead of the eight 16-inch
guns on the four authorized last year.

Deposed Costa Rican Pres
ident Appeals to U. S.
REVOLUTION IS BLOODLESS
tlons of the United States and Costa
Rica have been somewhat embarrass
ing, particularly because of the contro
versy that arose over the question of
the right of Nicaragua to enter into a
treaty with the United States ceding
rights for the building of an inter
ocean canal without having consulted
Costa Rica.
Costa Rica, through the Legation
here, has been appealing to the United
States to Induce Nicaragua to abide by
the decision of the Central American
court of Justice, which decided that
Nicaragua waa at fault In having en
tered into the treaty without the con
sent of Costa Rica.
The delay of Minister Hale In report
ing the Incident to the State Depart

new authorities to permit him to use
the cable for the transmission of his
dispatches until compiet order had
been established.
General Tlnoco'a control of the army

Ex-Ruler Finds Refuge In American

WASHINGTON. Jan. 29. Alfredo Gon

Government for intervention. He Is a

Word that the ex-President had sub

message and late tonight the State De

Official reports of the overthrow of
the Gonzales administration afford lit
