NEW YORK. March I0.-The believing
Of megaphoues was not heard at Broadway

when the Criterion Theatre let out and
carriages were needed 70 take its patrons

WAR TAX REPEAL BILL.
Senate Committee Find It Loosely Drawn
as Passed by House.

Senate Committee Find Il Loosely Drawn
as Passed by House.
The bill repeating the war revenue
taxes has been found so loosely drawn
and defective that the Senate Finance
Committee may report an entire substitute
for the measure. II is not the purpose Of
the committee to change the intention OF
the bill 70 repeal all the war taxes. but
only to put II into language that viii
carry out that intention.
The most serious defect is in the to-
bacco schedule. Ia the form passed by
the House IL would not only remove the
war taxes, but IN all probability would
also reduce IL below the rate which ex-
listed before the passage Of the House
bill
1t provides that the tobacco section OF
the war revenue act and the amendments
70 il BY the law OF last March shall be
repealed, and in lieu Of the tax Of u
cents per pound now imposed by law on
manufactured tobacco. SNUFF. etc the
rate shall be cents a pound. The reduc-
ton made By the act OF last March how
ever. was not accomplished by specific
9mendmfnt Ct the tobacco section Of the
war revenue Act.
a separate paragraph provided merely
for rebate Of 20 per cent on the tobacco
stamps sold, which practically reduced
the tax from II cents 10 $40 cents per
pound. AS that provision is not repealed
By the House bill. which fixes the rate at
cents per pound. the tobacco manufac-
tuTers Woulc sim be entitled 10 the re-
bate Of 70 Per cent. and the tax would.
therefore. be $40 cents a pound,
The Finance subcommittee. Ia charge OF
the bill, will draw up a substitute for
this section Of the House bin and per-
haps for the entire measure, as the
phraseology OF other sections has been
found defective.

No Show Of Physical Force
It was announced yesterday that there
would be no show Of physical force in the
contest over the Office from which Coy

he appointed Col Norman S. Dixie.
