Report were current here to-day that Britrsh cruisers had captured the Kronprinz Wilhelm, the German liner, which has-been roaming the seas since her sudden departure from this port day or so before war was declared between Germany and England. Sir Courtenay Bennett, British consul gen eral here had heard the rumor, and made -inquiries during the day, but tonight said he had been unable to confirm it. ; The Kronprinz Wilhelm, a North German "Lloyd Liner, was taken a war prize.. into , Bermuda, according to the report. . The Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed from New -York with darkened lights and all: the-coal she could get aboard a day or.i. so -'before the declaration .of War .between Germany and England. She has not yet been reported as ar riving ; at. any , port. The impression prevails that she went to furnish coat to German cruTsers in the North At lantic. : The ' British cruiser Suffolk later reported she had sighted the Kron prinz Wilhelm transferring coal in mid ocean to 'the German cruiser Karls ruhe.'

The president said the treasury could get along for a considerable per iod despite falling customs revenues without additional! taxation, but point ed out that if new revenue legislation were not enacted it might be necessary to withdraw from the national banks the $75,000,000 treasury balance de posited with them. He advised against the government .borrowing money or selling bonds and appealed to the intelli g;nt and profoundly patrotic public to bear the burden of a special tax. Immediately on conclusion of the address Chairman Underwood called a meeting cf the house ways and means committee to perfect a revenue bill tentatively drafted at preliminary con ferences. The president in his address said "I come to you today to discharge a duty which I wish with all my heart I might have been spared; but it is my duty which is very clear, and, therefore, I perform it without hes itation or apology. I come to ask very earnestly that additional reve nue be provided for the government.

A continuation of this decrease in the same proportion tl roughs, out the current fiscal vear would pro bably mean a loss of customs revenues of from sixty to one hundred millions. I need not tell you of what this fallirg off is due. -Conditions have arisen which no man foresaw; they affect the whole world of commerce and economic production; and they must be laced and deal with. "It would be very unwise to post pone dealing with them. It would be very dangerous in the present cir cumstances to create a moment's doubt .' to the strength and suffi ciency of the treasury of the United btat.s, its ability to assist, to steady, ' and sustain the financial operations of the country's business. II ths treasury is known, or even thought, to be weak, where will be our peace of mind?. The whole industria ac tivity of the country would be chill ed and demoralized. lust now the peculiarly difficult financia problems of the moment are being successfully dealt with, with great self possession and good sense and very sound judg ment; but they are only in process of being worked out. If the process of solution is to be completed, no one must be given reason to doubt the sofidity and adequacy of the treasury of the government which stands be hind the whole method by wheih our difficulties are being met and handled. I IT Of PART OF FUND COLLECTED IS USED TO PAY FRENCH BANKERS' LOAN. WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 4. Provisional President Carranza, of Mexico, made possible a considerable loss to his treasury when he closed the port of Vera Cruz, according to administration officials to-day. It was pointed out that any falling off in' the customs receipts of the port be- cause of the order ultimately will be borne by the Carranza government. Part of the Vera Cruz duty collec tions are pledged to redeem a loan advanced to former Dictator Hertta by French bankers. The remainder of the funds col lected, under American supervision are impounded, to be returned to the Mexican treasury at a later date, af ter ; the cost of administration has been deducted. . State Department officials point out that the order of Carransa evidently ' was, aimed by the provisional ' Presi dent to deliyefy commerce from Vera CruS to ; points under the control1 of 1 the Mexican authorities, and thus in crease the customs returns ipaid di. rectty to his government. -.', ' FREIGHT ENGINE JtlAS-BEEN - ' REPAIRED, ' 4 Norfolk Southern . engine ' number forty four that rammed the rear; end of a freight train near Vanceb.oro sev- VERA CRN SOURCE 61 1A 4 era wee!; 3 a. h1? been reps"i-Pfl in
