ON REVENUE BILL
Democrats Thrown Into Con-
sternation by Ultimatum
, and See Vacations Go
r Glimmering.

O rib ha Bc, 1S11 O Strrt.
Washington, May 24. (Special Tel
egramsSecretary McAdoo today
gave his ultimatum to Chairman
Kitchin of the ways and means com
mittee that a new revenue bill was
imperatively necessary, and he sug
gested that the machinery should be
- started at once to get such a bill
through the house at the present ses
sion,: Consternation reigned among dem
ocratic leaders and there never was
such a scurrying to cover as was dis
played by those who but a short time
before had solemnly asserted that a
new revenue measure at this time was
wholly unnecessary, in view of the
treasury conditions, and that the
country could easily get along until
December, when additional revenue
legislation could be passed.
"Look for Summer Homes.
Congressmen whose families are in
Washington began planning for sum
mer homes, for tiiey all. saw an eany
' adjournment go glimmering with the
announced determination of Secretary
McAdoo not to put off further revenue
legislation until the next session.
Hearings on the new revenue bill
will begin almost any time, the clerk
of the ways and means committee
stating that it would be wise for peo
ple desiring to be heard on the new
measure to get ready to come to
Washington at a moment's notice.
As for the democrats, they are the
: sorest lot of individuals imaginable,
for they had looked forward to at least
three months in their districts repair
ing fences and setting themselves
square with their folks at home. Now,
with revenue legislation facing them,
they have not got the heart to predict
when the session will end. '

forced to give evidence which might
tend to incriminate herself.
"You wanted the affair disclosed to
Mrs. Roberts in the expectation that
he would step aside?" she was asked.
"I did not know," she answerek
"Did you think she fcught to have
done so?"
"If she did not care for him and he
did not care for her, that would be
the logical thing."
Mr. Corrigan then read a section of
a letter from Miss Lusk to Mrs. Rob
erts, which Dr. Roberts intercepted,
as follows:
"I have lost my reputation, while
you have kept your throne; it really
isn't quite fair, is it?"
"You thought it fair that she give
up the doctor?" he asked.
What She Meant by "Parasitic
Mr. Corrigan then read a portion
of an unmailed letter addressed te
Mrs. Ro.berts, found in Miss Lusk's
desk after the tragedy, as follows:
"In order to keep yourreputaticjn,
you 60-called good, moral women
make the other persons do the sinning
so that you can continue to live your
parasitic lives."
"What did you mean by the word
parasitic?" he asked.
"Women who live lives of ease and
do nothing for society," she replied.

read, which declared that Miss Lusk
had not taken Dr. Roberts' pursuit
seriously until she was slighted by
Mrs. Roberts at a church affair and
"vowed to get even." In answer to
questions she said that she had not
meant this and had done nothing to
"get even."
She also admitted several state
ments made in the letter regarding her
intimacies with Dr. Roberts were not
true.
"In the eternal triangle, the letter
read, "the only solution is the elimina
tion of one of the members, the two
remaining being those whose affection
is mutual."
Did you mean the elimination of
Mrs. Roberts?" she was asked.
"No, I meant at that time to kill
myself," she replied.

The second was the Tuscania, which
was sent to the bottom off the north

The only other serious attack made
on American transports occured last
June when vessels carrying some of
the expeditionary units under a con

Cleaves, narrowly escaped disaster in
the mid-Atlantic.
That German submarines are oper
