cent of the combined wages of four or
more; female servants, each family to
have exemption from tax for one servant;
all additional female servants from 10 per
cent to KM) per cent on all over four.
The statement from the Treasury De-
partment accompanying the list pointed
out that there are two sources of reve-
nue by taxation, namely, a tax on retail
sales and a tax on manufacturers and pro-
diners. The object of Imposing taxes
upon erch article as are contained in the
list, It Is stated, is "not only to raise
revenue, but to discourage wasteful con-
sumption and unnecessary production."
The committee spent all of
Ing over the list, but reached no conclu
slons as to any of the Items.
The effect upon women's and men's
styles, if the proposed tax schedule were
adopted, would be startling, to say the
least. All Jewelry would be banned, canes
would disappear or pay a heavy tax, and
clothing and shoes would be restricted In
price far below what 1h now paid for
them. A great many women would find
It hard to limit themselves to a pair of
shoes costing not over $fi. or to a hat
costing less than $10. Hut the Treasury
Department's view of It Is that this is
'var and luxuries must disappear, or bea'
the heavy burden of taxation.

Government, and that his return made to
tho v'neiny property custodian would be
found to he truthful In every respect Dr.
Kuinely declined to discuss his associations
with former Ambassador von Hernstorff
and Dr. Hcinrlch Albert, through whom
the Mail Is alleged to have been financed,
but added he might say something definite
in this connection within twenty four
hours.
KNCAPK8 TREASON 1NDKTMKNT.
A State official who has been working
up the details of the case against Dr.
Humely said the latter had "escaped fac-
ing an Indictment for treason by Just
three days." Dr. Huuiely, it was said,
had received his hist remittance from pro-
German sources on April .'I, 1017, and the
1'nlted States declared war on April (i of
that year.
Count von. Iternstorff and Dr. Ileinrich
1". Albert, formerly commercial attache of
the German embassy iu Washington, were
said to have been the "brains" of the
Mali's pro-German propaganda before the
I'nlted States entered the war. It was Von
Hernstorff's method, according to the offi
elal, to dictate the editorial policy of the
Mall and to make it secretly pro German,
although apparently strongly American.
This was done, lie said, by means of pro-
Irish and antl-Hritlsh aud anti Japanese
f ii 1 ml nat ions.
With Dr. Kumely, publisher of the New-
ark livening Mail, under arrest charged
with having financed the newspaper with
German money, the question of future
ownership ami management of the news-
paper was In abeyance today. It will be
decided in Washington at a conference to-
morrow or Thursday between Henry L.
Stoddard, chief bond holder of the prop-
erty, Paul Block, who is said to own $.r>0.-
000 worth of the stock, and A. .Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian.
Francis P. Garvati, investigator for the
alien property custodian, announced that
Stoddard and Block would go to Wash-
ington to confer with Mr. Palmer ami that
"for the time being" these two would con-
duct the paper.
EXPLAINS SALE OF MAIL.
Mr. Stoddard stated that lie did not
know at the time he disposed of the Mall
stock where I)r. ltumely obtained his
money. I Miring his negotiations with Dr.
Humely, Mr. Stoddard said, Hugo Schweit-
zer, representing "the Geriuau dlestuff
trade" In this city, endeavored to buy the
Mall on behalf of himself and other Ger-
man Americans who wanted a newspaper
"to speak for German Interests during the
war.' Mr. Stoddard told Schweitzer he
could not buy the Mall for such a pur-
pose.
From February until May HO, 1915, the
day Dr. Humely took over the Mail, he
seemed to have difficulty In raising the
necessary money, but within twenty four
, hours before the time set for the transfer
| suddenly notified Mr. Stoddard, the latter
said, he was ready.
. . . L Mr- Stoddard said he did not associate
today In go. 1 »r. Humely with the efforts of Schweitzer
i to purchase the Mall.

relations," he declared, "Dr. Humely
pledged me Ills word of honor that not
one dollar of German money or any other
money except American citizens' nionev
was back of him. I had no wuy of dis-
proving that statement."

criticiMus iu his leisure hours that tnis
man was able to maintain himself as lun^
as he did in the midst of u military regime
that became dully more poweriul until, not
many weeks ago, It crowded every vestige
of diplomatic influence off the stage, it
was then that in the Kelehstag KueUltnanu
prououueed the death verdict to his cureer
or pilot of Germany's foreign uffalrs—by
openly admitting that "purely i.,Hilary de-
cisions" could not be expected to bring an
end to this war. To be sure, he wus com-
pelled to "crawl," but the damage was
done, and from that moment l.is s<„jlp was
doomed. Ills resignation now conies as
doubly « onvinclug proof that the militarists
aro In absolute control.
It Is from til at angle that all speculation
concerning Von huehlmann's Miccessor
must be guided. The name of Albert 15a I -
lin is recurring in advices via Amsterdam
and Copenhagen. The head of what Is left
of the Hamburg-American Line and dl-
icetor general of the (Jeiinan railroads, has
poweriul factors in hi* favor. First of ail,
lie is a friend and trusted adviser of the
Emperor. Then, lie commands, through
his dominating position in the world of
lotnmerce, trade and finance- un Influence
equalled by few In the Kinplre, coupled
with high prestige abroad.
Hut three things count against Halllu,
and they are so strong that political oh
servers here tonight wagered neat sums
against his appointment. These arc:
1. lie Is a Semite, In Itself u cardinal
ground for condemnation at the bauds of
the thoroughly untl Semitic militarists.
(l)ernburg tried it once; he got as far as
Colouial Minister and then fell with a
crash.)
2. lie Is not a trained diplomat, and It
would be an unheard of revolutionary thing
for the (termiins to semi a "non-expert" t >
the foreign ministry. The aversion agaln>t
such a policy Is too deep rooted -more-
over, It smacks of democracy.
3. He Is sure to be rejected by the mill
tarists tor till very nature of his Ideus
ami ldeuls, all of which center around
trade and, therefore, peace.
The name of Count Johann Ileinrich von
Berustorff Is sure to be mentioned attain
In connection with the vacancy In the
Wllhelmstrasse. Hut he, too, stands lit
tie chance, it is believed In well Informed
circles, for the two main reasons that he
is regarded as leaning toward pacifism,
and that his record in the l ulled Stabs
as uncovered by the American secret serv-
ice, precludes In his case the prestige
which Berlin naturally considers Its for
cigu minister should have in the eyes ot
the world at large.
The best bet Is that the man who steps
into Kuehlmann's shoes will be a "blttei
ender" of the first order. He may be.
camouflaged as a peace lover, as was
llertllng when he took the helm, but un-
less all signs are deceiving he will be a
pawn In the hands of the Ludendorfflsts
Admiral von Hintze- his naval title suffi-
ciently marks him as persona grata with
the sword rattlers, Is thought, more likely
than any of those named to get the place-
So much Is certain: The name ot
Kuehlmann's successor will tell volumes
as to how the wind blows in the Kaiser's
realm.
