WEALTHY MUST PAY BULK OF WAR COST; FALLS LIGHT ON POOR $5,000,000 Income to Be Taxed 70 Per $2,500 Salary Levy Only Per Cent. Eagle Bureau. 901 Colorado Building. Washington, September 5-The great bulk of the cost of the war, provided for in the revenue bill ported the House on Tuesday, still falls upon the wealth of country. While practically every man, woman child in the United States will feel the burden of taxation it is the wealthy population that will bear most of the burden.

The bill, as framed by the House significant, as much from Committee on Ways and Meanands point of taxes not included as for the heavy burdens it imposes on wealth. It contains consumption taxes the sense of imposts on the great necessities of life. There are no taxes coffee, tea, sugar, cocoa and other foodstuffs, such as were proposed the first war tax bill a year ago. There are no levies on consumers' gas and electric light bills. There are no taxes on clothing, other than expensive furs, livery uniforms, hunting garments and bath suits.

Whereas tax on large incomes, proposed in the bill, is higher than the that of any country now at war, the tax on small incomes is lower than imposed by either Great Britain or France. A comparison of the taxes of these three countries with this regard is interesting. A married man with a $2,500 income, under the proposed American law, will pay a tax of $30, or 1.2 per cent. A man of the France pays $31.25, same, incoment and in Great Britain $210.94, or 8.44 per cent. In contrast, a man with a $5,000,000 income in the United States will pay $3,527,095 income tax, or 70.54 per cent.

of his total income, whereas a person with the same income in Great Britain and France, respectively, will pay $2,619,687, or 52.39 and $623,772, or 12.48 per cent. The policy of starting at a low rate and ranging very high on large incomes, followed by the Ways and Means Committee in drafting the with the tax law of Canada present bill, is more closely mascons other country now at war. The Canadian tax starts with $10 on an income of $2,500 and is practically the same on an income of $5,000,000 as is proposed for the United States, $3,415,157, or 68.3 per cent. The principle followed in levying the war tax is strictly that advocated by President Wilson in his speech to Congress, in which he declared that the great burden should be borne by incomes, war profits and luxury consumers. The total estimated revenue from the bill may be divided as follows: Incomes, excess profits and estates $5,686,186.000 Luxuries 2,193,756,000 Necessities 301,550,000 Such a division cannot be taken absolutely, because of the impossibility of determining where the realms of necessity and luxury divide.

For example, in the class of luxuries are placed automobile manufacture and use, the tax on gasoline, insurance and stamp taxes on legal papers and the like. None of these can be classed entirely as luxuries, but they all fall on the class of people who are able to pay. They do not hit the proportion income absolutely essential to maintain life, and therefore cannot be placed in a class with consumption taxes on clothing and foodstuffs. The taxes which fall clearly within the class of necessities are taxes on the transportation of goods and persons, freight, express, parcel post and the like. Of the luxury taxes the great amount is derived from liquor and tobacco.

The tax on distilled liquor is raised to the enormous rate of $8 per gallon, and from all beverages it is estimated that $1,137,600,000 will be raised. Tobacco, exclusive of the license fee for retail tobacco stores, is estimated to produce $341,204,000. Of all the commodities in the country the automobile is the most heavily assessed. Motor vehicles are taxed every conceivable way. The tax on new automobiles, to be paid by the manufacturer, is fixed at 10 per cent.

and for, 5 per cent. for business trucks. passenger cars and motorcycles, Automobile trailers and tractors, including tires, inner tubes and acces. bile tires, tubes, parts, and accessories, a are taxed 5 per cent. sories are taxed 5 per cent.

Automobiles in use are assessed a license tax as follows: Twenty-three horsepower or less, $10; more than twenty-three horsepower and not more than thirty horsepower, $20; more than thirty horsepower and not more than 40 horsepower, $30; more than forty horsepower, $50. Motorcycles in use are taxed $51 each. Gasoline is taxed 2 cents per gallon. FIVE OVERCOME BY GAS Five men were overcome by the fumes of sewer gas that seeped into a manhole at Ninety-sixth street and Central Park West, Manhattan, this morning. Two of them were dangerously poisoned and only the prompt use of a pulmotor saved their lives.

The victims were Sebastaine Sapio, 40! years old, of 108 Mott street; Michael Graff, 38 years old, of 165 St. Boulevard, Astoria, L. William Brady, 42 years old, the foreman of the workers, and George Rossin, 28 years old, of 346 Ninth avenue, Astoria, L. I. Mrs.

Kramer Asks Alimony Mrs. Josephine Kramer, who filed suit for separation against her husband, Herman Kramer, dry goods merchant of Far Rockaway, L. today, applied to Justice Cropsey in Supreme Court for an order compelling her husband to pay alimony pending trial. She charged her husband with spending his time in saloons. rolling dice, while he, in opposing the petition, charged that his wife was altogether too friendly with Philip Rosenblatt, who used to be a boarder in their home.

The lawyers told the court that the Kramers still live in the same house, but that they don't speak as they pass. Decision was reserved. Holds Church in Contempt Justice Cropsey in the Supreme Court today adjudged in contempt of court Charles Church an attorney of 44 Court street, for failure to pay money to his client, Herman D. Roosen, as directed by Justice Clark more than six months ago. Church who is widely known in Brooklyn, collected $2,400 on a bond, as attorney for Roosen, and failed to pay it over.

Justice Clark ordered Church to pay within five days, but Church got permission from Roosen to pay $100 a month. He failed to keep even that agreement and the contempt judgment was the result. Under it he may be sent to jail, 3 Fake Kaisers Cheer Army; Real One Hides in Berlin How many Kaisers are there? German prisoners working in France say that there are at least three, or, rather, three men made up to look like him, and that they are all hustling from one front to another trying to hearten the hard pressed German armies. A Brooklyn ship captain brings back the story. It was told to him by German prisoners who worked on his ship while it was docked in a French port.

The prisoners were in the best of spirits, he said, And were SO well fed by the French Government that they had food left over to ARCHIE ROOSEVELT SILENT ON RETURN Visits Sagamore Hill- Sees Son for First Time -Will Not Speak of Shattered Arm. (Special to The Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L. September 5- Captain Archibald Roosevelt saw his 5-months-old baby, boy last evening for the first when he arrived at his father's, Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, home at Sagamore Hill. He had dinner with the Colonel and Mrs. Roosevelt and his wife, who was Mary S.

Lockwood of Boston. Captain Roosevelt declined to discuss his experiences in France. When wounds were mentioned, he shook his head, saying that at no time would he make any comment. Upon his arrival on a hospital ship in this country, on Monday, Captain Roosevelt was taken to the Army Hospital at Newport News. His wife, upon hearing from him, hurried last night to Washington.

However, the young captain, under Army orders, was shipped to New York City, and on his arrival at the Pennsylvania station, in the afternoon, he was taken to the Williamsbridge Army Hospital, in the Bronx. When Captain Roosevelt arrived at the institution immediately telephoned to his father. The latter, upon hearing his son's voice and learning where he was, hurriedly summoned his wife and the two motored to the hospital. Hardly had the father and mother reached the institution than Mrs. Archie arrived.

Upon reaching Washington, she learned of her husband's transfer and then she hurried back to New York. For more than an hour the family talked in one of the private rooms of the hospital. Then appeared a surgeon and the wounded captain was taken into an examination room. His left arm, which was shattered by shrapnel and which is practically paralyzed, was examined as was his left leg which also was wounded. examinations, go to Captain surgeons Sagamore Roosevelt completed Hill asked their and see for the first time his baby.

After a few seconds conference, the surgeons gave their consent and the joyous young captain ran to his family and told the news. The surgeon followed, however, and instructed him to return to the institution for a further examination today. It was a happy family which motored back to Sagamore Hill. Under one of the trees, in his carriage, the baby. Father and mother ran to was it and the two lifted it out and cuddled it while the Colonel and his wife looked on from the porch.

Into the house everyone went and there they remained for the evening. That Colonel Roosevelt was pleased at his son's arrival could readily be seen. He believes that Archie will rapidly improve and that the arm may become normal. Surgeons say this cannot be definitely known for at least eight months. Colonel Roosevelt and the captain both declined to make any statement.

They added that at no time, even later, would anything be said about the boy's experience in France. JAS. J. KEHOE NOW CAPTAIN Eagle Bureau, 901 Colarodo Building. Washington, September 5-James J.

Carr, who for the last twenty-seven years has been party leader, has been defeated as Republican County Committeeman in the Fourteenth District, is just being realized now that the vote has been announced. He failed to carry his district and today Peace Officer Edward Tilford is being congratulated. Dr. Carr can attribute his defeat to the women voters. Three-quarters of the Republican voters of the district were recorded and of these Tilford received thirty-seven and Dr.

Carr thirty-two. For years Dr. Carr has been recognized as the leader in this district. He was the prime mover in the organization of 1 the Republican Club and his defeat is the main topic of conversation today. TWO BABES KILLED BY FALLING POLE One stroke snuffed out the lives of Domenick Perulo, 1 year old, and Florence Perulo, 3 years old, the only children of Marie Perulo of 325 Second street, late yesterday afternoon while they were playing in the back yard of their home.

The two children were seated upon the ground within the shadow of a heavy clothes line post. that had rotted through at the bottom. Suddenly the pole, with the weakening of its last fibre, fell upon the children. The mother looked out of the window at the moment and was FL witness of the tragedy. Rushing into the yard, she drew the neighbors about her with her cries of anguish.

A hurry call brought a Ambulance Surgeon Shapiro of the Jewish Hospital, who found that the tots had been instantly killed, both receiving fractures of the MANDATORY CONTROL OF GASOLINE UNLESS AUTOISTS ECONOMIZE Garfield Chief Lays Down Law for Conservation and Forecasts Possible Autoless Week Days. "If sufficient gasoline and oil cannot be saved from what is now wasted in the ways above sugggested, then such mandatory control as will assure the quantities needed for the conduct of the war will be inevitable." With this summary warning C. C. Winningham, chief of the gasoline section of the United States Fuel Administration at Washington, forecasts Government control of gasoline on week in addition to motorless Sundays, unless waste is stopped voluntarily. The warning urges the following methods of saving: 1-Motorists should not run their engines when, the car is not in motion.

2-They should avoid overfilling tanks; and see that no oil or gasoline is spilled allowed to leak. to 3-Carburetors should be adjusted operate on the thinnest mixture. 4-All unnecessary driving should be discouraged. This is all in addition to the inauguration to the series of gasolineless Sundays which began last Sunday. Mr.

Winningham continues. "Unless the wasteful methods in the handling and use gasoline are at once corrected, it will undoubtedly be necessary for the Government to control the distribution and uses made of gasoline. Automobilists wouid then be made to conform to the more severe control and, therefore, it is to the automobilist; that we must go with a campaign of education that will point out to all users of oil and gasoline that wasteful usage must be stopped. "There is no desire to put the country on a fuel ration but it is necessary that all users discontinue all wasteful uses of fuel oil, gasoline, kerosene and all other oil products." Fuel Administrator Garfield is expected soon to call upon the public generally not to use motor cars for shopping trips and for travel to and from offices, and other journeys for which street cars might be used. A.

C. Bedford, chairman of the National Petroleum War Service Committee has gathered statistics on the first motorless Sunday, which indicate from 63 to 95 per cent. savings in gasoline in all states east of the Mississippi River. Illinois comes first with an indicated saving of 95 per cent. New York is sixth from the last in a list of twenty-five states, with an indicated percentage of 74.

Virginia is at the bottom. "The question as to whether a taxicab or a sight-seeing automobile is a sightseeing vehicle need not be left for settlement entirely to the owners or drivers of these vehicles," said Mr. Bedford. "The best judge of what constituted riding for pleasure is the person who rides, and next Sunday it will be the passenger, rather than the chauffeur, who will be subject to crit- icism." WANTED ATKINSON FOR ARMY EDUCATION Poly Institute President vited on French Commission. Needed in Brooklyn, However.

Dr. Fred W. Atkinson, president of the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, has been invited by Dr. Anson Phelps Stokes, to become a member of the American Army Educational Commission and to go to France. The other members are Professor John Erskine of the School of Journalism, bia.

University, and Dr. Frank E. Spaulding, superintendent of schools, of Cleveland. It has been found that while the recreational activities for the soldiers at the front have been excellent, the men require more than that to their time and their minds during occupy the many waiting hours behind the lines. This has been the experience of Great Britin and France.

In order to fill in their time and to better prepare them for occupations after war, Dr. Stokes started the educational work in France. The members of the Educational Commission will each have a different branch of education. Dr. Atkinson was to have supervised the technical and vocational work, for the reason that he has given many years to its study and practice at in addition to nis work in this Poly.

He was disappointed when they concluded that he was more needed in the Inthan he was abroad. The Institute is undertaking the training, subsistence and housing of military 400 young in the Students Army Training Corps, and a strong man is required at the head.

This was the to reason let the trustees had for declining Dr. Atkinson go. GIRL HURT IN LEAP TO ESCAPE FLAMES A fire which broke out at an early hour this morning in a three-story, brick dwelling at 468 Adelphi street, resulted in injury to Viola Adams, a colored domestic, employed by Joseph Parker, whose family occupied the third floor. Mr. Parker aroused the girl and turned to see to the removal of his family to safety.

The servant, however, lost time in and attempting to save her belongings, when she tried to escape by the stairs found the hall in flames. Returning to her room she became panic-stricken and leaped from her bedroom window to the ground, a distance of twenty-five feet, despite the cries of the spectators to await rescue. She landed on her feet, fracturing several bones in both. She was removed by Dr. Solomon to the Jewish Hospital.

The fire broke out in the basement hall of the building rapidly spread through the first and secona floors, occupied by John De Dinionica and family, to the third floor. The damage amounted to $1,000. BOYS All free cum Dept. Clear With Ointment 25. of druggists: 25 Your Sample "Cuticura, 50, Cuticura, Soap Skin each Tal- 25, The Woman Voter Mrs.

The men seemed to be surprised that I had not fainted or become hysterical over the situation. They do not yet realize that a woman as well as a man can be a game loser." Mrs. Francis P. Rooney, leader of the Democratic women in the Sixth Assembly District, says that she now has every reason to believe that the men are convinced that the Democratic women are a power in the district and that the Women's Democratic Organization was largely responsible for the victory of the regular ticket. "I hope that in the near future." said Mrs.

Rooney today, "we will get together, possibly at a harmony dinner, and strengthen our organization for the fight that is before us in November for the State ticket." The Fourth Assembly District Socialist party held a meeting at Division avenue and Ross street, last night, at which Mrs. Gertrude Weil Klein, candidate for Assembly, was the principal speaker.

All enrolled Republican women are eligible for membership and more than fifty were present. The feature of the evening informal discussion, during which many questions were answered relating to the candidates, the amendments to be voted upon, and other political issues.

The women are finding these discussions more instructive than the usual campaign speeches. The club house is open to women on Tuesday and Thursday eve- nings. From almost every district come reports of the women leaders visiting all the election districts on Primary Day, especially in the Democratic party. Women were also hand to give instruction to voters needing it. although these were comparatively few.

From the Brooklyn Suffrage headquarters came the report of a busy day answering questions regarding the candidates. Several hundred women visited the headquarters on Tuesday and the telephone was busy all day. Miss Kiefer, Mrs. Eppig and Miss Palmer, the three defeated women candidates, had depended on the woman vote for election. When this failed them they lost the primary.

Nine women candidates will enter the general election. Will they also lose the women's support? Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the New York State Suffrage party, expressed herself as well satisfied with the showing the women made on Primary Day. 4,000 DRAFT MEN LEAVE Draft boards in this city are endeavoring to start September 12 with clean slates so as not to be hindered in the task of enrolling and classifying the balance of the city's man power. Men' of the old draft are being dispatched to cantonments as speedily as possible, including those of the 21- -old class. oday 4,000 selected men left Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx for National Army camps, of whom nearly 2,500 were limited service men.

This exodus of drafted men, it is said, will greatly aid the Government regular and volunteer operatives in rounding up the delinquent men of the first draft. The limited class men, numbering 2,412, left this morning via the Barclay, Christopher and West Twenty-third street ferries, while 1,500 active service men departed over the Cortlandt street ferries for Southern camps.

The device of "showing the Kaiser's face" was said be used for encouraging soldiers both when they were about to assault and when they were showing signs of being about to retreat. The scheme was described as an excellent one in that it permitted the pseudo Kaisers to brace up their men at several points widely apart on the same day, while the real article was snugly hidden in a Berlin bomb BOY BLOWS BROTHER TO DEATH WITH GUN Empties Two Barrels Into Youth's Back as He Lies on Bed Admits Deed. Agostine Di Acone, 16 years old, emptied both barrels of a shotgun into the back of his 20-year-old brother, Pasquale, as he was lying upon his bed yesterday afternoon at Rochestet avenue and Rutland road. Death was instantaneous. Detectives Reuling and McCarthy, who arrived upon the scene of the tragedy shortly after, were informed a neighbor that Agostine had been seen fleeing from the house toward the nearby farm, where the brothers worked.

The detectives awaited the return of Agostine and arrested him. At first he denied all knowledge of the crime, but later confessed. He said that his brother, Pasquale, was a bad character and had been annoying his brother John's wife with his attentions. He said that early in the day he overheard Pasquale say he would kill his brother John the first time he saw him. Agostine then hurried home and prepared the shotgun and awaited the return of Pasquale, when he followed him to his room and killed him.

Agostine was arraigned this morning in the Flatbush Court and held without bail for examination Friday on a charge of homicide. This is the second shooting case in the same section within a fortnight in which the murderer was apprehended within two hours of the crime.

He was at last successful. Cohen hurried through his lunch Tuesday, enabling him to reach the British Recruiting Mission. Results were discouraging. He had been turned down for the sixth time because of an underweight of four pounds.

Early yesterday Cohen again visited the Mission, appearing before the Medical Staff. He showed an increase of several pounds in excess of the required weight. He had consumed fifteen bananas and twenty glasses of water in a little over thirteen hours. LT. HOLDS KILLS HIMSELF Dayton, September 5-Second Lieutenant H.

W. Suspected. Chicago, September 5-Fourteen men were held today out of scores seized by Federal agents and the police as a result of the explosion of a bomb yesterday in the Federal Building, which killed four persons, injured more than thirty others and did considerable damage to property. A night of activity on the part of Federal agents and the police heads of the respective departments said they had obtained valuable information which encouraged them to believe they would apprehend the bomb-thrower. "We we now close to the responsible are.

for the outbelieves rage," acting Division Chief Phillip J. Barry of then Department of Justice said. "We have descriptions from various witnesses who saw the man believed to have exploded the bomb, and these descriptions tally." In addition to Federal agents and police, 2,500 members of the American Protective League, a patriotic at ization, helped scour the city in the search for suspects, and in the raids on the quarters of organizations known or believed to be hostile to established government. Every retreat in Chicago was raided during the night. "Bring them all in, men and women alike." was the order of those ducting the investigation.

Secret Service officers and police worked on the theory that the explosion was the act of members or sympathizers of the I. W. in revenge for the recent conviction of 93 of their members before Judge K. M. Landis.

The character of the bomb has not been fully established. Experts believe that to do the damage it did the bomb must have weighed about 25 pounds, probably made of tubing and containing a high explosive. The fact that it was placed near a large radiator and close to the wall of the building at the Adams street entrance is believed to have caused its force to be expended backward and downward, probably saving the lives of many who were in the interior of the postoffice. The four persons killed were near the Adams street entrance, just outside which were found the bodies of three of the victims a girl entering the building, a Great Lakes sailor, also about to enter, and a mail carrier on his way to work. The fourth vietim, a mail carrier, was leaving the building, having just finished work.
