BEER FOR WATERWAYS.
Extra Tao of 81 a Barrel Suggested
by Mr.. AchesOn.
From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Dec 5.--The brewers and beer drink
ers of the country about to be ''pinched'' IL
the resolution introduced by Representative Ernest
Acheson, of Pennsylvania, in the House OF Repre-
sentatves to-day Is to be taken seriously. He sug
gests In a somewhat volu.ninous document that the
tax on beer be raised from 81 to s. barrel and
that the therefrom be placed to the credit
of the rivers and harbors of the country.
Mr. Acheson contends that there were 5e 900
barrels sold in this country last year. taxed
at 81 a barrel. and he feels that if anybody can
nav for good rivers and harbors the beer drinkers
can He has. therefore. suggested that the extra
81 a barrel, amounting to So. 100000 be used for
waterway improvements He argues that the tax
on whiskey is 81 10 a gallon. and that the tax of
only 81 on barrel of beer is manfestly dispropor-
tiCnate
Two dollars was the during the Spanish
American War;" Mr.. Acheson said to-day. "and il
was considered in way exorbitant. and the price
of beer was not raised. / believe such a tax TO be
a good thing. and il 1t should stop a part of

were interested
St Louis Dec. 5.-Clay A Pierce issued a
statement this evening. denying that the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company had spread rumors
which caused the National Bank Of Commerce
of Kansas City to close. He said:
Manager Ebie of the Waters-Pierce Oklahoma
division advised us on November that ne
could procure exchange on kansas CITY BANKS
for collection here He was then informed that
as the Bank of Commerce here was unable 10
get satisfactory return from the NatIonai 6dhh
of Commerce Of Kansas City, he could accept
drafts all Kansas City banks except It, Ex-
Governor Francis teephoned me on November
that a director Of the National Bank OF Com
merce had complained that this action was
harming that bank. and l Immediately wired
Manager Ebe. cancelling the instructions
There was no intention to embarrass the Kansas
City bank. The instructions 10 our manager
private.
The fact that the National Bank of Commerce
of Kansas City was in difficulties had been
common knowledge among bankers for more
than a fortnight, and the news of the closing of
the institution, therefore, although a surprise
to many stock market operators, and therefore
resulting in a temporary decline in prices yes
terday morning, found to have been
ing on the fact that the bad news was out"
Advices received by bankers here in the course
of the day from the most important banking
interests in Kansas City and other Western
centres agreed in the expression of opinion that
the situation had been materially improved by
the closing of the National Bank of Commerce
in Kansas City and that further serious
trouble to be looked for, although some
minor failures might occur.
II. L. Dawson. ce-preSident of the First Ma
tionaI Bank the New York correspondent of
the Kansas City institution said yesterday after
any of the correspondents, and that probably
none OF the depositors would lose cent. There
must have been poor banking, he continued, but
the paper offered by the bank to institutions In
this city, Chicago and st. Louis had. always
been gilt-edged.
