Bavarian statesmen are alarmed over
the falling off in revenue from the beer
tax. They have made repeated demands
in parliament for a heavy tax on beer
substitutes to encourage the consumption
of the real beverage. Government Coun-
cilor Speck. the financial expert of the
dominant center party. has proposed a
law against the evils of thinning beer.
The receipts from the tax on malt he
points out. have been steadily falling of
sumption, but according to Herr Speck
and other experts, this stands in no pro-
portion to the temporary falling off in
the consumption OF beer. but is due rather
to the use of less malt per cask in the
originally rich and creamy Bavarian
brews. His law. it is pointed out, would
save the reputation Of Munich's famed
product. check the growing deficit in the
BaVarian budget and help out the Bava-
rian farmers. who complain of the eN-
ceedlng!y poor market for their barley.

Recent newspaper articles ascribing a
twelve-dollar soft shirt and an otd Chi
cago manner to Charles ]. Vopicka OF
illinois, recently appointed minister to the
Balkan states, were characterized today
by Representative SABBATH of Illinois as
"the work of some enemy desiring to en-

Mr. Vopicka, who is famous as brewer
in Chicago, as the best diplomatic man

activities in procuring exhibits from Bull

and also said that the new minister has
the good will Of the people and rulers of
the countries to which he has been as
signed.

Vopicka denying the reports that the for

GERMANY IS OPPOSED

Falling Off in Revenue From

BERLIN, March O. 1914.
germany is not yet ready to see the
unwritten law become feature of
trials of husbands or. wives for killing
1a1thless partners. Press comment on the
acquittal of Count Mielczynsk who slew
his wife and her nephew in the countess
bedroom. is sy sympathetic toward the count,
but the acquittal is generally considered
miscarriage of justice. The kreuz-
zeitung even makes it text for advocat-
ing abolition of the jury system. 1t also
says:
We can understand how the jurors felt
themselves impelled to acquit if possible.
FROM purely humanitarian standpoint
one can be glad that they did reach an
acquttal. Count Nielczynskis hottest
rights We're transgressed against and his
deed testifies to a feeling of honor and an
earnest appreciation of the married rela-
ton which we could only wish prevailed
everywhere among our people. But the
basic principle of our justice. that the in
dlvidual shall obtain his rights and re-
Vense through The state. may not for this
reason be Abandoned
me Taseszeitung also understands the
feeling that prompted acquittal, but e.
ciares that it would be a grave thing if
this feeling prevailed or should come to
prevail throughout our folk. Such
acauittals are almost the rule in the Latin
countries, especially in France. and it is
good indication Of the sound moral
sense of the Germans that the Latin e.
ample has very generally found, our dis
approval"
A conviction of Mielczynski, with a find.
ing of extreme mitigating circumstances
would have permitted a sentence as low
as six months in prison.

SALVAGE CREW MAY QUIT HER

CURLING. n. F., March 21.-The United
States naval tug Potomac, which was
boarded Thursday by salvage crew of
six men after drifting dereiict in the
Gulf of st. Lawrence for six weeks, was
swept by off-shore winds yesterday into
a position of danger for both vessel and
crew.
The Potomac last night was twelve
miles northwest of Keppel Island, off
Ingornachoix bay, still fast in the drift

impossible to get up steam. A snow storm
was approaching and the ice was consider
ed an active menace. Should the wind con-

still farther off shore. and assistance for

thought the salvage crew might decide
to abandon her should opportunity offer.
Since she was abandoned by the naval
crew the tug has drifted with the ice

HUGE STONE HERE FOR
SCOTTISH RITE TEMPLE
Monster Block Weighs los, 900
Pounds, or About Fifty-Four
and Half Tons.
Being Hauled Through Streets on
Freight Car-Will Be Carved
to Represent Sphinx.

What is claimed TO be the largest block
of stone ever brought to Washington. and
probably the largest ever quarried in this
country, is on its way through the streets
of the city today. 1t comes from Bed
ford. Ind, and is destined. when cut. to
form one of the two great sphinxes which
will guard the entrance to the Scottish
Rite Temple at street and the Avenue
of the Presidents.
The sphinx stone'' as it is called, is a
solid piece of Indiana limestone roughly
suggesting the shape of the fabulous
monster which had the head of wom-
an. the body of q lion and the folded
wings of a bird. The great stone meas
ures about sixteen feet by nine. and
contains more than 914 cubic feet of ma
terial. 1t weighs 10000 pounds. about
fifty-four and a half tons. Since there
was no wagon in Washington capable OF
beating so gigantic a burden. ii is being
taken to the Scottish Rite Temple on a
freight car 1t is stated that this is the
first time in the history of the city that
this. method of hauling by freight car
through the streets has been used.
The combined weight of the car and its
burden is about III, 900 pounds, which two
horses draw with ease along the rails,
except on inclines, when four horses are
needed.
Four Hours to Cover Block.
Tie car containing the block is hauled
over the two rails on which it rests onto
two other rails laid in front of it. These
rails must first have sleepers put under
them and then be securely anchored be-
fores the great weight can be rolled on.
This slow process will be repeated all
down Florida avenue to street and
down S street to the temple. 1t takes
between four and five hours to cover a
block.
on account of the wet condition of the
streets progress was halted at Florida
avenue and North Capitol street yester-
day morning, but operations were re-
sumed last night. Crossing the various
street car lines constitutes the chief diff
fculty of the journey. This must be
done at night when the cacs run on
hour schedules.
A companion sphinx to the one now
going through the streets is on its way
from Indiana, and is soon to arrive In
Washington. Another great mass OF
stone. weighing merely twenty-siX tons, is
now at the freight yards awaiting re-
moxel to the Scottish Rite Temple. Resi-
dents will remember the tremendous pill
lars which We're hauled through the
streets by twenty-four horses summer be.
fore last and which are now in place al
the temple. These columns were large
but are in no wise to be compared IT

his nomination. Hart was an original
