In State Senate.
MORE REVENUE FOR STAT |
Measure Provides for Raising Of Al.
ditlonsi sf25.ooo Yearly from sa'
Icons. Wholesale Liquor Houses
Dlstillers and Brewers Of Virginia.

State Senator Saxon w. Holt re
turned yesterday afternoon from Rich
mond 10 spend Sunday with his fam
liy in North End. Following his ar
rival. Senator Holt gave out an inter
view relative 10 the liquor license ia,
bill which he introduced in the State
senate yesterday and he said. among
other things. that some OF the pro-
visions of the bill had been slightly
misgepresented In the papers.
Senator Holt was appointed chair
man CT the committee OF the sen
ate finance committee with instruc'
lions to devise ways and means oil
raising additional state revenue OF
not less than sI25.000 per annum out
OF the liquor traffic and the bill in
troduced yesterday is the result
When Il met before the Legislature
convened TO shape the finances the
senate finance committee found that
additional revenues were needed ano
ne eded badly. AS the rate of taxation
ALREADY Is high, the committee finally
decided to raise the additional, sum
needed by increasing the liquor IL
cense tax.
The bill increases the State license
tax On saloons from $3.50 to $500 per
year. Il Is estimated that this Will
make an increase Of $4,000 annaul-
" In the state revenues. Other
revenues. other sections of the bill
sections OF the bill provide for
the raising of an additional
100000 from the liquor traffic in Vir-
ginia, the highest increases being for
wholesale houses. shipping houses,
bre wers and d'stillers. Senator Holt
does not think that the wholesale eco
pie, distillers and brewers bear their
proper share of the burden and is
against imposing any great increase
On the saloons.
Howe yer, he says that there is n
strong feeling in the legislature to in
crease the state tax on saloons 10
81 900 per annum. He and others are
opposed to such a tax on the ground
that Il would have the effect CT crowd
ing the smaller saloons out of bust
ness. and, In the long run, decreas-
Ing the states revenues.
Senator Holt also has introduced o
Joint resolution instructing the finance
committee OF the ASSEMBLY to formu-
late law regarding the employing OF
the convicts at the penitentiary. rhe
committee to decide whether It will
be more advisable to lease the con-
victs to contractors and manufactur-
ers or to employ them in improving
the public highways of the state.

Baked AT ALTAR.

After travelling 1000 miles to marry
Peter Bartiniki, Miss Petrincella Jag
Ieroic, a cabin passenger on the n Jrth
German Lloyd liner Frankfurt, watch
arrived in Philadelphia on Thursday
from Bremen, refused to become a
bride yesterday when she saw the man
whom her parents in Russia had select
ed for her husband.
Bartiniki, who is a prominent baker
at Roanoke, Virginia, stopped work at
his bakery and gave all his hands a
week off in anticipation Of his mar
riage to the girl, who had been a
childhood playmate near Libau,
Russia.
A license had been granted TO the
couple by Clerk Ferguson, Of the
marriage bureau, to get married before
leaving for the south and Rev. Father
Kalaukis, of the Lithuanian Catholic
Church, had made arrangements to
have the ceremony take place at the
rectory, at No. 1893 Wharton street
The ceremony was about to begin when
the intended bride told father Kalaukis
that she had changed her mind.
Nothing could induce the young lady
to marry, and Father Kalauskis stated
that so far as he was concerned the
matter was at an end.
Miss Umglevoic told Commissioner Of
Immigration Rodgers, under whose
care she now is, that she thought Bar
tiniki was better looking man than
she found him to be. he said the
proper time to avoid trouble, was before
and not after marriage. She further
said that under no circumstances would
she marry the baker and would rather
be deported.
Bartiniki promised to call on Mr..
Rodgers, but he did not do 50. He |
left for his home in Virginia.
