.Sbecidl to The Tsleerabh

Washington, June 10. - Opposition
to the ratification of the proposed
treaty with Columbia bulked so large
in the Senlte that a Southern Demo-
crat, who is regarded as an Admins
tration leader, has determined to ask
President Wilson to withdraw the
treaty pending an investigation by a
select committee into the circum-
stances of the acquisition of the Pana-
ma Canal zone by the United States.
This Senator proposes that Theo-
dore Roosevelt, William Nelson Crom-
we'll and others who played a promi-
nent part in the initiation of the
canal project shall be called upon for
information.
The phase deeply regrets occurs
in communication presented to Senor
Urrutia, of Colombia, by Minister Du-
bois on February 10, 1918. The note
was written in connection with an at.
tempt made by President Taft anG
Secretary of State Knox to achieve 6
settlement with Colombia in the las
hours of their administration. In thi!
Mr.. Dubois presented certain definite
| suggestions lor a compromise.

NOW BUILDING, WILL
CARRY THREE PILOTS
Craft Will Be Taken to Lake Keuka
Tomorrow Morning For
Trial Flight
By associated Press

New York. June 19.-The aeroplane
now building for Rodman Wanamaker
in which an attempt will be made to
cross the Atlantic ocean will carry
three pilots according to announce
ment to-day. Lieutenant John c..
Porte, of the British navy, who has
been selected by Mr.. Wanamaker to
attempt the flight, will have Aviator
Hallst in the flying boat with him
from New Foundland to the Azores
Islands, where the first stop will be
made. At the Azores it is planned to
pick up John Lansing Callan.
The distance from st. Johns, N. F.,
to tn islands is 1,199 miles, and Lieu
tenant Porte reckons that he can do 1t
in twenty hours. The consumption of
gasoline on the flight to the Azores
will tighten the load to such an exten,
that Callan's weight will make no diff
ference.
Lieutenant Porte said to-day that he
thought the craft could be taken to
Lake Keuka Saturday morning. II
will require four hours to assemble
the machine, according to Porte, and
the launching will take place SATURDAY
morning, if the present plans do not
miscarry.

McAdoo Wants Vaults
Hunted For Income Tax
Special to The TeleCrahk

Washington, June I9.-In hunting
for the s24,00O,000 that was only
dreamed" Secretary McAdoo has made
his first move in his campaign against
the income tax evaders.
The secretary sent a communication
to Congress to-day recommending an
amendment to the law which will
give the revenue collectors broader in
quisitorial power.
This is the first change to be pro-
posed by the administration in the in
come tax law and it follows closely on
the heels of the Acknowledgement by
MIR. McAdoo that the income tax on
individuals will yield for the present
f1scal year not much more than half
the amount estimated.
The amendment is aimed chiefly at
checking up in the matter of stock
dividends. Under the present law the
individual in paying the normal tax
is permitted to deduct such dividends
because of the tax of 1 per cent. i'm
posed on corporations.
The internal revenue men appar-
emily feel that some deductions have
been made on that score that may not
be warranted. Now they purpose to
open the stock lists of all corporations
subject to the tax and also to give the
collectors other powers which will en-
able them to trace a taxpayers securi-
ties even into safe deposit vault.

ALCOHOL SAID TO BE CAUSE
BY Associated Press

indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-Al-
cohol is the chief cause of insanity,
according to DR.. T. D. Alderman, a
specialist in nervous and mental dis
ease, of New York, who in addressing
the National Eclectic Medical Associa-
ton here yesterday declared that the
United States Is rapidly progressing
towards the stage where 1t will be one
large insane asylum.
I'VE have practically become known
as a nervous nation" said DR.. Adler
man. I'VE rush and hurry, turning
night into day, and we hurry the body
to decay with tobacco, alcohol, drugs
sexual excesses and abuses. We must
stop this disastrous rush and headlous
hurry.
Alcohol creates more insanity than
all other causes combined. Where il
is not the initial cause, it is the de-
veloping cause. In the United States
| to- day, there are 250,000 insane, and
the same number of feeble minded
which exceeds the combined strength
of the army and navy.
There is an answer to this condi.
| ton and it is in safe and sane eugen.
| les. The world must see to it thai
| there is a great evolution of character
in men and women. There should bt
laws to prevent the propagation of de,
fectives, to prevent marriage between
feeble minded and insane. There il
nothing for us doctors to do excep
to become ardent advocates of eugen
ics."
