International News Service.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 1.-
No grain will Be permitted to leave
this country for Holland at present, it
was announced today.
Licenses for 100 Dutch grain ships
have been refused.
The agreement by which the Hol-
landers were to divide their cargoes
between Holland and Belgium has
been cancelled by the Embargo Ad-
ministration Board.
In making the announcement the board
emphasized that the United States is will-
ing to teed the neutrals but that the needs
of this country must li; i otialdered fir«t.
The same attitude is expected to he ob-
served in dealing with exports to other
neutral countries.
In refusing licenses for the 100 Dutch
•hips already loaded with grain, the ad-
ministrative board made a counter propo-
sition that the vessels be unloaded; that
their cargoes be given over to the United
States Government at a fair price and the
ships be used to bring sugar and wheat
from Australia and Java.
The contention of the board is that
Holland has a sufficient supply of grain
to last her for months, probably well into
December. The United States, on the
other hand, has not determined what her
own needs will be, further than approxi-
mate estimates, which teud to show a de-
pleted supply. Hence, It is argued, the
Interests of both countries can be served
best by using the ships now held up in

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Sept. 1 —
There is no chance of the United
States taxing 80 per cent of the huge
profits made during this war. By a
vote of 62 to 17 the Senate today re-
jected such a proposal made by Hiram
Johnson of California. The defeat
came as a decided blow to the Sena-
tors who have constantly urged radi-
cal levies. It is now confidently pre-
dicted that the Senate will refuse to
tax war profits higher than 60 per
cent. This is the top figure of the
sliding scale advocated by the Finance
Committee.
The seventeen Senators voting today
for the rejected Johnson amendment
were:
Democrats: Ashurst, Gore, Hotlis,
Husting, Johnson of South Dakota,
Kirby Thompson and Vardaman.
Republicans: Borah, Brady, Gronna,
Johnson of California, Jones of Wash-
ington, Kenyon, LaFollette, McNary
and Norris.

was discussed last night at u conference
held at the St. Anthony Hotel and attend-

ers. No definite uction was taken at the

when It will be decided if a campaign
will be arranged.
It was the opinion of those present that
a State-wide prohibition election in the
next year no doubt would be a victory for

several that Bexar Coiin'y 'stands a good
chance of going dry, providing an election
would be called for some date near the
dates for the Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco

TROUBLE STARTS WHEN SOL
DIERS TRY TO PASS IN FRONT
OF RESTAURANT.
By A psoi lated Press.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Sept. 1. Uace riot-
ing broke out early this evening in the
streets of this city between :i number of
Kentucky's National Guard troops and a
number of negroes who had crowded the
city from the surrounding country attend-
ing a negro fair. .Inst what damage had
been dune cannot be estimated as yet bu
the provost guard from the soldiers' camp
was hurriedly summoned.
Ten negroes have been Injured and as
far as Is known there have been no casual-
ties among the soldiers. The trouble
started when three soldiers tried to pass
on the pavement In front of a negro res-
taurant. The negroes resented being
shoved aside and it Is said u large mini
ber of them set upon the soldiers, other
soldiers came to the assistance of three
men and fought their way out of the
crowd. It is uuderstod that the military
authorities have been asked to keep the
soldiers off the streets tonight, although
the situation is quiet at present.
The streets of Lexlugton tonight are be-
ing patrolled by armed mounted and foot
soldiers of the Kentucky National Guard
and the civil authorities have augmented
their night police patrol. Tonight the
town Is quiet, but suppressed ill feeling
is apparent. With the additional giVd-i
the authorities believe they have the situ
alion in hand.
The street fighting today was the cul-
mination of disorders between soldiers
camped at the end of the city and negroes
who have been flocking to Lexington dur-
ing the week from a nearby fair. One
negro was taken to a hospital In a serious
condition, while other blacks received lesser
Injuries. The soldiers escaped with minor
bruises.
The local authorities reconsidered their
decision to request that soldiers be kept
off the streets.
amendment. As soon as it was re-
fused LaFollette hurried to introduce
an amendment providing 72 per cent
taxation. This was actually just 1 per
cent lower than Johnson's, for the
Californian's amendment read "73 per
cent." This, added to the 7 per cent
imposed in the bill, would have to-
talled 80.
Contrary to his usual practice, La-
Follette instead of making a fiery
argument, used facts and figures as
his weapons. Now and then, however,
he returned to his old form of oratory,
as for instance, when he cried: "The
penalty for not making proper income
returns is $20 to $1,000 under this
bill. In the name of decency, let us
make the penalties for evasion of the
tax law as severe as the penalties for
the evasion of the draft law.
"Is it a more serious offense for a
mother to evade the draft law in order
to save the life of her boy, than for a
millionaire to evade the tax law in or-
der to save some of the dollars he has
made from the war?"
+ The Wisconsin Senator spoke for three
hours and will continue on Monday. lie
will submit amendment after amendment
in an effort to force as high a taxation
its possible.
War profits must be disposed of in the
bfll by Wednesday afternoon, so the Sen-
ate will meet Labor Day. There will be a
short recess Tuesday afternoon to allow
Senators to march in the patriotic parade.
.JOHNSON RIDICULES COMMITTER
Today's battle of figures was opened by
Iliram Johnson. The Westerner laughed
at the Finance Committee for its altered
attitude toward the conscription <»f wealth.
"Every member of the Finance Commit
tee,'' he said, "reiterated and reiterated
that in their bill the limit had been reached
in taxation. They said that jrUR.OOO.OOO
was the last possible mark in war profit
taxation.
"But over night there was ho startling
and radical change as to substantially
endorse the plan we ourselves had ad-
vised. We were accused of trying to make
the war unpopular. Tit now this amazing
change shows we were fully Justified lu
our attitude."
The dynamic Californlan denied with his
usual emphasis that he and the other high
taxationists had no wish to take normal
profits from the corporations.
"We only want the profits coined out
of blood,'' he shouted "We would not
disturb normal peace time profits. But
the American people do demand that we
should reach out and catch these swollen

With the closing of a week of compare

numerous signs of a revival are apparent.
Iu Flanders the British guns are again
thundering the threat of renewed infantry
thrusts against the German lines. The
French, while comparatively quiescent In
the Verdun region, are giving another dis-
play of their successful dashing tactics
in the Alsne region. On the Austro Italian
front General Cadorna apparently has
aligned his forces for another drive In
force on the Balnsiz/.a Plateau and is again
edging forward toward Trieste on the
Carso.
While the Italian offensive has the as-
pect of larger importance, the French as.

AUSTIN, Tex., Sept. 1.—From the
list of witnesses upon whom citations
have been served to appear in the im-
peachment of James E. Ferguson, it
is believed here today that the board
of managers will go into the Gover-
nor's financial transactions early !n
the case, and that the defense will
seek to show his handling of State
funds'has been in accordance with the
customs which have long been follow-
ed in handling State money.
Witnesses whose names were made pub
lie this afternoon, who have been called
by the respondent, are ordered to bring
with theiu information as to deposits
which they, as State officials or employes
of State institutions, have made in banks
within the past two years. In this list
are B. F. Looney. Attorney General: .1.
T. Robison, Commissioner of the General
Land Office; 11 I». Terrell, Comptroller;
Fred T. Contierly, clerk of the Supreme
Court of Texas, and W. R. Long, auditor
of the University of Texas; J. II. Davis
Jr.. assistant private secretary of the o<»\
ernor, is also ordered to appear at the
instigation of counsel for the respondent.
At the request of counsel for the board
of managers the following witnesses have
been summoned: R. Vinson, president
of the Fniversity of Texas; R. F. Cofer,
one of the professors over whom the uni-
versity controversy has been waged and
who was discharged by the Board of
Regents; Curtis Hancock, chairman of the
State Highway Commission; Carl Widen,
cashier of the American National Bank of
Austin, and II. F. Blum, assistant cashier
of the Temple State Bank. It is also under
stood that Mr. Contierly would probably
have been called for the managers had he
not been summoned by the respondent's
counsel. Franz Fleset of Austin has also
been called by the board of managers for
the prosecution.
Quite a number of other witnesses have
been ordered to appear, but this evening

ITALIANS FIGHTING
CRUCIAL BATTLE
May Be Considered Greatest of War
on All Fronts Declares General
Cadorna in Report
International New • service.
WASHINGTON, 1). C., Sept. I.—General Cadorjia, the silent, has spoken.
He has sent a dispatch to the Italian embassy here giving an estimate of the
recent Italian success, by which they have swept the Isonzo Valley and on to-
ward Trieste. That he has sent any word is regarded by competent military
critics as proof that he has accomplished big things. And the greatest signifi-
cance is placed on a part of the message which says: "The present battle on
the Isonzo front must be considered for its probable consequences, the great-
est during the war on all fronts."
The things that the Italian general has left unsaid are interpreted to
mean:
1. The Italians have turned from a direct attack oxi Trieste and are pur-
suing the Austrians to the northeast toward Vienna.
2. Italian aviators have bombed Trieste. No Austrian aeroplanes have
been seen in several days, supporting the statement of the Italians that they
have destroyed the bases at Trieste ajid Pola.
3. The way to Trieste is still blocked by the powerful mountain fortresses
"of the Hermada.
4. Between the point where the Italians broke through the Bainsizza Pla-
teau line and into the Tarnovo Wood and Vienna, it is believed that the Aus-
trians have not had time to prepare for an elaborate attack.
5. Such an attack would cut off the defenders of Trieste and the Austrian
fleet, now bottled up in Pola.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. l.-«
Confidential information of a serious
rupture in the German government be-
tween the main block of the Reich-
stag and the Admiralty authorities
over the submarine warfare has reach-
ed Washington.
The situation, described as critical,
followed a violent denunciation of Ad-
miral von Capelle, head of the Ger-
man Admiralty, by Dr. Mathias Eri-
berger, leader of the centrum, before
the main committee of the Reichstag.
Dr. E*-zbcrger is the man who brought
about the recent crisis which resulted
in the overthrow of Bethmann-Holl-
weg as Chancellor and led to an im-
perial rescript promising the demo-
cratization of the Prussian electoral
system. He is one of the leading peace
workers in Germany.
The outburst against Capelle Is only one
evidence, .I'tordlug to these dispatched, of
the growing unrest among the German
masses. The admiralty chief was accused
or falsifying figures of enemy tonnage
losses In order to keep down the wrath
which would have overwhelmed the men
who promised them victory through the
submarine and tlieu fulled to 111 ike good.
The dispatches containing the details
of the clash between Krxberger and Capelle
wire scut b> American special agents.
They were received in Administration cir-
cles several days ago, but no hint of them
has be* n permitted to be made public.
According to excerpts obtained today,
I)r. Ersberger, during a discussion of Um
submarine situation, flatly accused Ad-
miral von Capelle of falsification and
dared him to deny It. Capelle whs unable
to make a satisfactory answer. Nor couUl
he give the method by which the figures
had been arrived at showing a large de-
struction of English tonnage which he
had presented to the main committee.
Erzberger then described the method of
the admiral in drawing up figures of
British losses for dissemination to the
public. He declared the) were "ridiculous
and a plain falsehood." NVheti any ship
was sunk, he said, the admiralty had been
In the habit of giving, not the registered
tonnage of the ship, but the dead welgni,
and In addition, adding the weight of the
cargo to the tonnage «»f the ship. In other
words. If a .'1,000-ton ship were sunk and ic
carried 2,000 tons of cargo, the admiralty
would count It 5,000 or more tons of
shipping destroyed .In addition, Ersberger

International News Hervict
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.—The germ
of Infantile paralysis has been definitely
found and Isolated at the Jewish Hos-
pital after a scientific research of a year.
Announcement lias been made that the next
step will be the discovery of a cure. It
Is believed that the cure will be found
within a short time. Philadelphia physi-
cians. Drs. Meyer Soils Cohen and George
D. Heist and Prof. John F. Kohlmer, of
the Fniversity of Pennsylvania, are r«
sponsible for the isolation of the gerin.
The research work was supported by a
fund established for that purpose by .1 u
litis Mastbiium.
The germ was successfully Isolated by
scientists of the Rockefeller Institute in
1013. The method was so complicated,
however, that it could uot be established
accurately. Tne method of the local Instl
tntlon 1m comparatively simple and will be
be announced to the medical professions.
Another body found on paralysis vic-
tims has been explained to n certain do
gree. Previously It was thought this body
was present only after death and was con-
tamination. Doctors Cohen. Heist and Pio
fessor Kohlmer have discovered that this
body Is present before to death and seems
to be associated with the disease. Its

1 But onh thing now cqu check Italy Is the
belief of allied military attaches here.
That Is the lack of raw material. She must
have coal, steel, copper for her great fac-
tories and It Is learned here tonight that,
steps already have been taken to supplv
the country with these, If indeed great
quantities of them have not already gone
forth. Vienna, the heart of one of the
grent Teutonic allies, lies potentially
within the grasp of the hardy, pushing
Italians. And the report.of (Jeneral Ca-
dorna's operations Is considered here as
referring more specifically to this object-
ive than to any other. The embassy dis-
patch reads:
"General Cadorna, speaking of the
achievements of the Italian army during
the last eleven days has declared to the
military attaches ami to the press that the
present battle on the Isonso front must
be considered for its probable conse
Hiienoes. the greatest during the war on
all fronts.
"The battle Is still developing on a
seventy five mile front and the enemy Is
yielding ground at every part."

lans are pushing with wonderful speed

toward Trieste. This belief 1* much
