RUSH TO BUY WAR
TAX STAMPS MARKS
SECOND DAYS SALE
Crowd Assemblies Outside
Federal Building at $50
to Purchase Stickers De-
manded by Uncle Sam.

A line that formed at $40 this morning
to wait for the opening Of the Internal
Revenue ofice in the Federal Building
reached from the Chestnut street side to
Market before Q o'clock. when the sale
of emergency war tax stamps began for
the second day.
It is expected the sales today will be
as great as those yesterday. Yesterday
the Government sold $4,000 in stamps for
documents, shipping goods, wines and
cigars Some issues of the stamps have
been bought out at the Philadelphia Of
lice, but until new stamps arrive arrange
mcnts are being made to obviate delays
due to the lack of official Inducements
The anxiety felt by merchants unabls
to purchase stamps who feared they
might be prosecuted and made to pay
double the tax was relieved by telegram
received by Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. Lederer here from w. II. Osborn,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue. It
read:
"Date all special tax returns November
90 until you are able TO handle applica-
tions promptly, unless you have informa-
ton that no effort was made to file same
prior to that date. II unable to supply
demands for documentary stamps for bills
of ladng. permit shipments to go for
ward. have record kept and afflx and can
eel stamps when received. Notify rail-
roads"
Later n second telegram was sent out
by the commissioner in response to urgent
requests for more stamps from this city
and several other points where the thronE
OF purchasers ran out the supplies. 1t
read:
Impossible to furnish proprietary
stamps to dealers Allow articles taxa
ble under Schedule b TO be sold un-
stamped, provided record OF sales is
kept and sworn statements delivered to
collector as soon as stamps are obtain
able. Stamps may be purchased then and
Cancelled to cover sales"

Increased confidence In early action to-

should be concerted action on the part
OF the University authorities. the city
and the Army and Navy Committee of
prominent business men.
With both the University and the Army

believed.
Prominent Navy officers hnted today
that support might be looked for from

adequate accommodations n great stadium

woodland Cemetery land at 36th street
and woodland avenue, suggested by Mr.
Nitzche held the advantage of accessi-
biHty and natural topography that would
mako building n stadium there compare

Penn men interested in the stadium
project declared no site could be easier |

built In rnvine which forms a natural |
amphtheatre. The ravine has not yet |
been made part of the cemetery proper |
Grading for field, placing seats in on |
the Sides and closing both ends of the |
ravine would be all the work needed, |
according to engineers who have viewed |
the site. 1t is said, however, that there
may be some difficulty in securing the
land.
Transit facilities would be one of the
most important arguments for the Wood
land avenue site, according to those who
tavor IL. The subway-elevated runs with
IN three blocks OF the site, six lines of
street cars serve It, and the Pennsylvania,
Reading and Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
roads have spurs which could be readily
extended to a stadium station within a
mort walk of the entrance to the field.

Washington Affair.

Senator Penrose has not been invited

tive William S. Ware will give in honor
of Governor-elect Brumbaugh at the
Shoreham Hotel. Washington, d. c., next
Saturday night. Politicians in Philadel-
phia today, I'm discussing the affair,
viewed 1t as a slight to the Senator, and
as n formal alignment of the Wares be-
hind the Governor-elect.
Doctor Brumbaugh has been asked by
Representative Ware to meet the Con-
gressmen from Pennsylvania at the din
ner, so that the slight to Senator Penrose.
II any slight is intended, is not open.
Politicians, however, are pointing to
the fact that on election night the Wares
started a boom for Doctor Brumbaugh
for President, and that they have spon-
sored the boom since then. and that a
few days ago Senator Penrose threw a
wet blanket over the boom by asserting
that Pennsylvania is not entitled to the
nomination In view of the overwhelming
Republican victory.

Vermonters Plan to Sell Direct to

been getting six cents for Christmas
trees which later sell in the retail mar
ket for 80 cents and 81, II was reported
today, are preparing to Invade PhiladeI-

chants.
More than 100000 Christmas trees have
already been shipped from the State OF
Vermont to the city markets in various
parts OF the country. Many carloads
containing evergreens are now speeding
toward Pennsylvania cities. The first
shipment of trees from Vermont reached
here last week.
Although trees are plentiful this year
in Vermont woodsmen of that State have
received lower price than in former
years. The excuse of the agents repre-
senting the ''middleman" and spectators
in Christmas trees was that the freight
rates this year are higher than ever.
