BUDGET INCREASES
TAXES IN GERMANY
20 Per Cent Added in Meas
ure Sent to Reichstag by
Government.
NEW LOAN NEEDED SOON
Another Credit to Bo Asked Xext
Month in Addition to 15,000,
000,000 Marks Just Raised.
Indemnity Hope Held Out.
S5NVDON, Feb. 24. War taxation In
Germany has been Increased. 20 per
cent In the budget presented to the
Reichstag yesterday by Count von Roe
dern. Finance Minister, according to
an Amsterdam dispatch to Reuter's. In
the course of his speech, in which he
announced the new war credit of 15.
000.000,000 marks. Count von. Roedern
explained that the increase in taxation
was necessary because the budget pro
vides no new money,- while the "safety
'law" enacted last year called for an ln-
crease of 50 to 60 per cent in the legal
reserve.
Dealing with the proposed new coal
tax, the Finance Minister said that
the question of taking over the coal
mines by the state had been rejected
as Impossible. He added that Germany
was well able to rely on its own coal
production and that the commodity
could be taxed all the easier because,
in spite of war conditions, the price
was lower than In foreign countries,
averaging 15 to 18 marks.
He maintained that an average taxa
tion of 2Vi marks on coal and 80 pfen
nings on lignite was not too high.
Railway Tickets Taxed.
In addition to the coal tax, there
will be a levy of 10 to 16 per cent on
railroad tickets and 7 per cent on all
freights.
Count von Roedern said that the
war credit voted last October was near
ly exhausted, and continued:
"As in all the belligerent countries,
so also here, the war expenditure in
the last few months has created a cerr
tain tension, but this is certainly not
greater with us than with our enemies.
I have no reason to suppose that the
proportion of two to one which I esti
mated in October as existing between
the expenditure of the entente and the
central powers has changed.
"The war expenditure of the world
exceeds 300.000,000,000 of marks and
not more than 100.000,000,000 is our
share. The cost in the next few months
will not relax and therefore I ask a
war credit of 15.000,000,000 marks.
IVew Loin Needed Next Month.
Next month .we must issue another
war loan and this budget picture is
certainly serious, but our economic life
erives us no reason to look to the fu
ture less confidently than hitherto.
. . . Against tfj demands of our
enemies for reparation, we shall be
able to put the word "indemnity."
"I have confidence in, our economic
future and In the unbroken financial
strength of our people and I am con
vinced, in view of our rapid technical
development during the war and the
firm determination of all producing
circles, that everything that the war
has destroyed will be rebuilt."
IMPERIAL BUDGET INCREASED

The tong war In Portland broke out
on February 8, when Mar Duck, a gun
man of the Suey Sings, was killed by
three Hip Sing gunmen at Fourth and
Everett streets. Hard on the heels of
this affray came the killing of Harry
Wong, a Hop Sing. In Seattle. It is
said that his assailants were members
of the Hip Sing tong.
The alliance of the Bing Kung-Bow
Leong- tong with the Hip Sings, and of
the Hop Sing tong with the Suey Sings,
furnished complications from which
further trouble was freely predicted.
despite the peace treaty signed by those
olden foes, the Bing Kung-Bow Leongs
and the Hop Sings. Yesterday s strife
presents a new angle in local tong
warfare, and openly embroils the four
tongs, which are arrayed in pairs.
In company with 40 of his fellow

shooting. Ham Quong Fong. intended
to depart yesterday afternoon in a spe
cial car for Seattle, there to attend the

been purchased, and their departure
was scheduled for 4:10 o'clock. It was
to draw funds for the visit that Ham

Members of the Bing Kung-Bow

New and old Chinatown, which have
been under close police guard since
the killing of Mar Duck, were doubly
patrolled by policemen and detectives
last night to forestall further encoun
ters of the warring tongmen. The pa
tience with which the Chinese partisans
await their opportunity, and the venge
ful swiftness with which they strike,
is baffling to the closest espionage,
and the threat of the Bing Kung-Bow
Leong tong hangs like a menace over
strangely deserted Chinatown.
N tort-It m-pern In Hiding:.
Chinato-wn was deserted and silent
last night, with most of its stores
closed and the owners in hiding. An
example of the terror of the Celestials
was given the police when two China
men sneaked into the police station
and asked a patrolman to accompany
them to the Union Station, where they
wanted to warn a Chinese passenger
on a northbound train of the outbreak.
Patrolman Rekdahl was sent with
them, and found on the train a wealthy
Seattle Chinese and his wife, en route
home from San Francisco. The couple
were told of the trouble so that they
might take due precautions when they
arrived in Seattle.
The police exercised unusual vig
ilance in Chinatown last night, search
ing several resorts for firearms. De
tective Goltz found a loaded revolver
hidden at 283 Va Flanders street, and
confiscated it.

SEATTLE. Wash., Feb. 24. (Spe

tension tonight in anticipation of the
arrival of 10 Invited Chinese from
Portland and San Francisco to attend
the dedication Monday of the hand
some new Chinese Masonic Temple
erected by the Bing Kong Bow Leong.
The murder in Portland of a mem

31 years old, on a charge at carrying
concealed weapons. Both men art
strangers in the city. They were heav

probable that every visiting Chinaman
will be searched for weapons tomor

ing men and its mystic symbolisms,
dominates the decorations, which are
exquisite Chinese silks, embroidered by
hand in China for the Seattle temple.
New China, with its Republican
ideals, its intimations of thrift, sci
ence and brotherhood, is uppermost in
the organization that will use the tem
ple. It is called the Bing Konir Row

at the shrine of the temple, combin
ing the American flag and the flag of
the Chinese Republic, so states it in
good, plain English letters.
The temple cost $75,000, its decora

GERMANY WILL NOT QUIT.
Declaration Made That Unrestricted
Use of Submarines Is Reply to
Refusal of Pence Offer.
BERLIN, Thursday, Feb. 22. (By
wireless to Sayville, Feb. 24.) The
speech by Dr. Johannes Kaempf, presi
dent of the Reichstag, at the opening
of the session today, is reported by the
Overseas News Agency as follows:
"We are apparently approaching the
decisive struggle in the gigantic war
ot nations. Magnanimously the Ger
man Emperor, together with his allies,
stretched out the hand of peace to our
enemies. They refused this hand with
jibes and jeers. In the face of this
rebuke Germany now seizes the weapon
of which she desires to make unre
stricted use and which has been forged
by her energy and her advanced tech
nique. In the solemn, serious hour in
which we live we are sure that we
shall not lay down this weapon before
we accomplish the aim of this war the
defense of our independence and the
freedom of our homes.
"As we enter now upon the greatest
struggle, we send grateful admiring
greetings to our proud army, to the
armies of our allies, to - our proud
navy, to our unconquerable submarines
and their crews, courageous unto
death. We send greetings to our ex
perienced leaders who have proved
their genius on land and sea. We send
greetings to the whole nation, which is
working as never before, in spite of all
difficulty, for the Emperor and the
empire, for the freedom and Inde
pendence or our country and our
homes."
SENATE FILIBUSTER
IS FINALLY. BROKEN
Republicans Abandon Effort to
Defeat Excess Profits
Tax in Revenue Bill.
VOTE WILL BE WEDNESDAY
Minority Seeks to Curb President
lor Attempting to- Get Rid of
Congress in Handling In
ternational Situation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. One of the
most spectacular filibusters the Capitol
has seen in years kept the Senate in
session until midnight tonight, and was
broken down only when Republican
leaders directing it secured a pledge
from the Democrats that the Adminis
tration revenue bill would not be urged
to a. vote until Wednesday.
The Democrats, facing what they de
clared was a Republican attempt to
break down the Administration pro
gramme and force an extra session of
Congress after March 4, had threatened
to keep the Senate in continuous ses
sion over Sunday if that were found
necessary to secure passage of the rev
enue measure.
International Affairs Debated.
The debate, which went far afield
from revenues and note exchanges be
tween the Democrats and Republicans,
led Into a dramatic discussion of the
international situation and of President
Wilson's policy in the submarine crisis.
Late at night leaders on the Repub
lican side let it be known that they
did not favor carrying the fight to theJ
extent of embarrassing the country by
killing the revenue bill and thus weak
ening its preparation for defense.
After two or three peace proposals
had been rejected by the Democrats,
the Republican leaders submitted a
proposition for a vote Wednesday night
at 8 o'clock on condition that in the
meantime appropriation bills mky be
brought up by unanimous consent.
Democrats Make Compromise.
The Democrats accepted, believing
this arrangement gave them a chance
to save enough of their legislative pro
gramme to avert an extra session.
There was no understanding, how
ever, as to what the Republicans might
do with other bills than the revenue
measure in case some of them should
hold to their determination to force an
extra session in order to have Congress
in session for developments in the Eu
ropean emergency.
Several Senators pointed out that a
vote on the revenue bill Wednesday
would not mean an extra session would
necessarily be avoided. Aside from
other legislation, three of the most im
portant supply bills, the Navy, Army
and sundry civil, carrying altogether
close to $1,000,000,000, have not been
taken up at all in the Senate. There
is certain to be some discussion by
Senators with pacifist tendencies of
both the Navy and Army bills.
Many Work for "Pef Bills.
When, Jast before midnight, Senator
Simmons submitted the proposed agree
ment to the Senate for ratification,
every Senator was on his feet.
Senator Ashurst declared he would
object unless assurance were given for
consideration of the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill, and It
was agreed to give an hour to this re
port on Monday. When other Senators,
including Shafroth, urging the Porto
Rican conference report, began to plead
for "pet" measures, Senator Penrose
rose and declared:
"This has gone far enough. If there
is to be any further wording of this
agreement, objections will come from
the minority. The minority already has
sacrificed enough. I will say further
to the Senators from Colorado and Ari
zona that neither of their bills will
pass this session of Congress."
The objections then were withdrawn
and at 12:15 the Senate adopted the
agreement by unanimous consent and
recessed.
The smoldering row broke into flame
this afternoon when the passages be
tween Democrats . and Republicans
turned up a sensational debate on the
relations between the United States
and Germany which reached its cli
max when Senator Fall, Republican,
introduced a resolution to authorize
the President to use the armed forces
of the United States to protect Amer
ican rights on the seas.
It is such a resolution as President
Wilson was expected to ask of Con
gress some time before its adjourn
ment but its Introduction at this time
by a Republican Senator while the
Administration is forming its course
came as a surprise.
Republicans Are Resentful.
It promised further to complicate and
embarrass an already much mixed sit
uation. The Republicans, reeentful of
what they construe as President Wil
son's wish not to have Congress on his
hands in an international crisis, are
said to be ready to force an extra ses
sion of Congress in order that nothing
may be done by the President without
the House and Senate in session.
Chairman Simmons, of the finance
committee, bitterly assailed the Repub
licans for their filibuster. The Demo
crats, he declared proposed to die fight
ing for the revenue bill and prepared
ness legislation, and would hold the
Senate in continuous cession, until a
vote could be had on the revenue bill.
"We are witnessing here," said Sen
ator Simmons, "the most determined
filibuster I have ever seen in this Sen
ate. If this revenue bill shall fail and
as a result the great programme to put
this country in a condition of defense
is held up and suspended for another
year, I think it due to the American
people that they should know who is
responsible for such a miscarriage of
this great purpose on the part of the
Government.
"We are told this is not a filibuster.
The Senate knows and the country
knows it is a filibuster to defeat the
revenue bill carrying taxation amount
ing to $248,000,000, of which $226,000,000
is placed on the backs of the great rich
and powerful corporations.
"I do not know what the President
proposes to do or what he proposes to
ask, but in this nebulous condition of
affairs we cannot afford to delay pas
sage of this bill.
"I Ray with all sincerity and solem
nity that this is but a pretext on the
part of the minority. If the gentlemen
on the other side are afraid of some
threatened Invasion on the part of the
President, why should it be necessary
to defeat this bill? I am convinced
that this is merely a pretext and the
real purpose of the minority is to de
feat this bill.
"We wait the American people to
know it was your dagger that pierced
the body of this great programme and
brought it to its untimely death.
"Go ahead with your filibuster, but
we shall not content ourselves to sub
mit to the consequences of defeat until
we have exercised every resource and
every weapon at our command."

JORDAN DENOUNCES WAR
California Educator Speaks at
White Temple.
In an address at the White Temple
last night Dr. David Starr Jordan, of
Leland Stanford University, described
the horrors of the European conflict,
denounced the factors that cause and
support war, and said that the only so
lution of war was the substitution of
democracy for the autocratic form of
government.
In speaking of the exchange of pris
oners he said that was done only when
the soldiers had been so mutilated that
they could be of no service" when re
turned to their own countries. He gave
instances where trainload after train
load of prisoners under such conditions
had been exchanged. Many of these, he
said, were musicians, artists and pro
fessional men.
He described one of the realistic
works of a young French artist in the
trenches. The picture represented a
peasant on a battlefield with a wagon
with a deep box. The peasant was
pitching boots, "some with legs in and
some without." and other remnants of
battle into the wagon. He said that
all the "glory" which consisted of brass
and other metals would be melted and
used over again.
"It was different with what was left
pf the legs that were Inside the boots
and whatever other parts of human
bodies that were left, said Dr. Jordan.
"These could not be recast again, but
they could be used as fertilizer on the
grain fields. In some instances the
corpses were dried out for oil. which
made, an excellent lubricant for the
big guns."

OREGON CITV. Or.. Feb. 24. (Spe

building by the sale of the valuable
business site now occupied by St. Paul's
Episcopal Church, and the purchase of
a less expensive location, are being
considered by the officers and members
of that church.
By the sale of the present property
It has been suggested that the church
raise enough money both to buy a
new location, possibly on the hill, and
finance a new church structure.
The reported price which the con
gregation has fixed on the present site
is $20,000. There is a $2000 mortgage
against the property.
The property is In the heart of the
business district, directly across the
street from the postofflce, and in the
same block as the Courthouse. At the
present time it is occupied by the
church, the rectory, a rooming-house
and a plumbing shop.
A plan to build a new edifice on the
