Plan Considered to Limit the Foreign

AND TO INTRODUCE LAND TAXES

ALGECIRAS Spain, January 27.-The Mo-
roccan conference seems disposed to reduce
the number of so-called protected persons
who escape taxation because they are for
eigners or in the service of or in partner
ship with foreigners.
you have only left me the poor to tax,
said the sultan to the foreign ministers at
Fee when the subject was discussed there
some time ago. You have taken all the
rich men under your protection and out of
my reach"
Part of the plan under consideration to-
day Is to limit foreign protection and to in
troduce land taxes. 1t was proposed in COM
mittee to tax landlords.

second OF the Moroccan delegates to the

Reducing Naval Target Practice.

heuuclHS naval Target TfaCtlce.
Because of an impression on the part of
many members of Congress that the gov
eminent is spending too much money for
target practice il is probable that the naval
estimate for ammunition may be material
ly reduced at the present session. Any
step in that direction will be vigorously re-
sisted. however by those officers directly
interested in naval gunnery They hold
that ii would be false economy to reduce
the means OF target praetfve on the ground
that such practice at frequent intervals Is
the only way to demonstrate the efficiency
of the guns and the gunners and 10 develop
their powers under service conditions 1t is
held that the only way to ascertain and
guard against defects is to IRE the guns as
many times as possible in target practice
with the full powder charge. The firing
with the full charge al the acceptance test
only is held to be insufficient, as there are
later conditions which must be demonstrat-
ed and which can be determined only by
firing the guns with fun charges. 1t is
declared that ii would be great mistake
TO cut down the appropriations for naval
ammunition, as II is recognized that pro-
ficiency in gunnery, prime necessity in
warship, can be secured only by frequent
and systematic target practice.
To Be Examined for Commissions.

To DISTRIBUTE
BABY OUTFITS
Mrs. A. w. Scott Makes
a Depot Of Her
Fine Home.
Apparel Is Now Ready
for Three Hundred !
Little Ones.

Is there a little infant in your fam
ily my good man? And are all the
bootees and pinning- blankets and
wrappers lost, that your patient little
wife had gathered together with in
finite love and care?
Then cheer UP!
Things aren't nearly so bad as they
might be, for 1 know just where you
can get the wee thing every bit of
clothing it needs.
But you'd better be quick about it..
Those little wee things" have awful
tempers if they aren't cared for prop
erly. In babyland there must be
plenty of warmth and comfort.
Besides, it's up to you to start the
baby off with the best possible i'm
pressions OF his new habitat-which
certainly calls for apologies on your
part, though the fault may not be
all your own.
Now. for that repository of the
cunningest-I was almost on the
verge of perpetrating "sweetest"-
aggregation of relief things in town.
It's out in the beautiful home of
the A. w. SCOTS at 305 Buchanan
street, where Mrs. Scott has MAIN
tanned depot for helpfulness, aid
and good cheer. And of the latter
she has given of her own illimitable
sure 10 the HcdNy-ldueH.
Yesterday / chanced to drop in
there-the temporary home of the
California Club. by the way-and this
is what 1 found: The reception room
a third full of nurses outfits, crisp
and new as a new dollar note, the
chairs and tables laden with comfy"
underwear; the drawing room piled
high with baby things, with every
thing necessary for the wee tykes,
from bootees to bonnets, all duly
labeled and enumerated.
Of course, there were other things
for needy brethren, such as dresses,
coats and aprons for little maids, and
dresses for mammas, not to mention
an assortment of clothes for papas-
or other men.
But it was the baby things that
caught my woman's eye, for we'll l
know the griefs that the loss of the
little wardrobes must have wrought
the money to purchase new ones?
And now the problem is being
solved by Mrs Scott and her faithful
co-workers, Mrs. Alexander Mccall
lum, Miss Provost, Mrs. A. P. Wird-
nereI and Mrs. A. V. Brown.
In that drawing room lie three hum
dred outfits for three hundred babies
think of it, And over three hun
dred have already been distributed,
which is something of a record for
one station in one month. (Washing-
ton, D. c., papers please copy.)
And the knowledge that the prom
ised little ones will be welcomed in
warm flannels and cosy gowns will go
a long way to tighten the load of
many weary little woman's heart.

CLERKS WISH
BETTER HOURS
Stenographers in the
Supply Depot Go
on Strike.

Seven of the emergency clerks employed
in the medical supply depot at the Pre-
sidio went on a strike Saturday and re-
fused to work unless their salaries were
increased and they were paid for the over
time they had put in. They claim that
they worked from Z in the morning to 10
at night, for which work they received 81
per day. AS the Government considers
eight hours a working day, the seven EN-
p!oyes claim they are entitled to overtime
and say that if their claim is not con-
sidered here they will have it taken UP
with the War Department at Washington
Colonel Louis Brechemin, who has
charge of the supply station, said that
the cause of so much night work was the
incompetency of the clerks.
As there was no appropriation for extra
CLERKS, these men were hired as laborers
with the understanding that they were
to be paid 50 per day until they could be-
come familiar with the work and trans
ferred to the regular list of clerks. The other
volunteer clerks have all reported for duty
and have expressed their willingness to con.
tinue until such time as their salaries
can be increased.
