WAR TAXDEBATE
Simmons Appeal May Result

Saturday.
ASKS FOR QUICK ACTION
Chairman Declares that Unparalleled
Financial Conditions Require
Immediate Relief.

+, Following the Introductory remarks of
Senator Simmons on the war revenue bill
In the Senate yesterday. II was gen.
orally conceded that debate on the meas
ure would be brief and that the Senate
would be in position to adjourn not
later than next Saturday.
Senator Simmons. who ID In charge Of
the measure. made a pointed appeal for
Republican support by demonstrating
that the measure contained virtually
nothing that was not embraced in the
Spanish war tax bill OF 1883; that II did
not contain a number Of items Included
In the previous measure. and that many
taxes were lower than In the Republican
bill. Virtually the only exceptions are
the taxes on wines. rectified spirits and
the tax on paWnbrokers..
Conditions Are Unparalleled.
Senator Simmons declared that the
conditions affecting the revenues are
unparalleled He pointed out that in
the last fiscal year the dutiable i'm
ports coming into the United States
amounted to S7e6. f22, ,s5s and that Of this
amount $O6.5I5. .s1l, came from Europe,
chiefly from the countries now engaged
in war. whose productive energies are
now paralyzed.
The fact that our imports for Sep
tember were greater than in August has
been regarded by some as an indication
Of an early return to normal importa-
tions. But the wish Is father to the
thought said Mr.. Simmons. There Is
no ground for IL. When the war be-
gan. Europe had a large stock OF goods
on hand. and naturally when the lanes
or ocean commerce were open they hur-
ried them to market II will not be
long before this accumulated surplus has

ditions abroad there can be any con-
siderable expectation Of goods while the

There was a commotion in the Senate
yesterday over the moving picture epl-
sode Of Friday. in which Vice President

several Senators and the pages posed
for a moving-picture film. Senator Over
man, chairman of the Committee on
Rules, brought the matter to the at
tention OF the Senate shortly after II
met. by asking that the rule Of the SEN
ate governing the control of the Senate
chamber be read. Following the reading,
Senator Overman said:
There has been some criticism made
of the fact that the Senate chamber was
opened when the Senate was not In ses-
sion, and motion pictures taken In the
chamber. want to say for the Com
mittee on Rules that no consent was
given by that committee for that per-
formance."
Incident Sets Precedent.
The reading Of the ruIe and the state
ment by Mr.. Overman made a profound
impression on the Senate The incident in
volving as II did criticism on the part
OF Senators for action taken by the Vice
President in the matter affecting the
decorum Of the body anG the rules, was
said to be without precedent in the his
tory of the Senate.
II was evident that Vice President
Marshall was angry. Democratic Sem
ators Immediately sought to avoid sem
sation by trying TO divert the proceedings
into another channel There were other
appeals for recognition from the chair.
Vice President Marshall silenced all
these by a vigorous rapping of the gayel.
Just a moment he exclaimed. The
motion pictures were taken according TO
the understanding of the chair. with the
consent OF the Committee on Rules, not
by the chair asking such consent When
the chair was requested to come In here
for a great educational purpose, the
chair said he had no authority over the
chamber, and he sent the parties to the
sergeant-at-arms, and he was Informed
that there was no objection to the TAX
ing Of the pictures. II the chair had had
the remotest idea that the Committee on
Rules objected or had not tacitly given
their consent. the chair would not have
been In the Senate of the United States

LOCKED CORK FOR BOTTLES
Key Takes Place Of Corkscrew With
This New Stopper-Safety Az
forded to Poison Phals.

An ingenious method of corking bot
lies has been invented which Is APP
plicable to the bottling of more ex-
pensive liquors, Chambers Journal
states. This latest device comprises
The familiar cork made to standard
sizes so as to fit bottles of varying
capacity and shapes and provided with
a patent metallic double cap The
cork is driven into the bottle In the
usual manner; but, instead of cork
screw, small key is used for its
withdrawal. In the metallic cap Is a
small slot for insertion of the key,
which is slightly depressed. This
causes the upper part of the cap to
fly upward by means of a spring. This
movable disk, which slides upon n
substantial though slender shaft,
serves as grip for the fingers, so
that steady and direct pull draws
the cork without damaging 1t. Conse-
quently, when some of the contents of
the bottle has been poured out. the
cork may be replaced and driven
home, the bottle being thus sealed as
tightly as it was originally. To all
intents and purposes 1t is the applica-
ton of the Yale lock used for doors,
etc. The cork cannot be drawn with
out the key, so that tampering with
the contents or improper use Is i'm
possible, because the key Is In the
possession Of the owner or some re-
sponsible person. The drawing of a
cork thus becomes an easy operation,
and destruction of the cork Is pre-
vented. Although the stopper has
been designed specially for the liquor,
wine and spirit trade, 1t at the same
time completely solves the vexed ques-
ton of securing the safety of bottles
containing poisonous liquids. as bot
tie stoppered with this new appliance
cannot be opened without the key;
and as this is in safe keeping. pre-
meditation is required to obtain the
contents.

MUD Jumps IN RIVER
PECULIAR FORMATIONS THAT
ARE HARD TO EXPLAIN.
Presence of "isiands," Forming Serious
Obstruction to Navigation, Has
Never Been Accounted for on
Scientific Basis.

The territory within mile or two
of each Of the mouths of the Missis-
sippi is characterized by large SWELL
ings or upheavals of tough, blush
gray clay, to which has been applied
the name mud Jumps
Many of these Jumps, says the Mem
phis Commercial Appeal, rise just off
shore and form islands having a
height or five or ten feet, but some
do not reach the water surface.
To an observer at the mouth of the
river the idea that the region is a
great dumping ground for a large
part of the United States is most i'm
pressive. The land is being built out
into the sea at an estimated average
rate of about three hundred feet a
year. In one place in Garden Island
bay the land appears to have advanced
1000 feet In the spring of 1919.
The mud Jumps are commonly TWEEN
ty to thirty feet broad and stand TWEEN
ty to thirty feet above the adjacent
bottom. Generally a mud lump rises
In few weeks or months to a height
of four or five feet above the surface
Of the water Then it remains quiet
and Is beaten down by the waves in
the course of few years. Many of
them subside, however, and some dis
appear over night.
Among the most conspicuous and
impressive features of the mud humps
are the mud springs that are active
on many, If not all of them. The dis
charge from these springs consists
of salt, watery mud and gas-in fact,
gas escapes at many places on the
surface Of the delta of the Mississippi.
Gas rises in bubbles in all the mud
springs.
1t is considered by some scientists
that the mud Jumps are produced by
gentle seward flow of layers of
semi-fluid clay under the land and
the shallow water under the ends of
the passes. The mud Jumps appear to
be the product of flow, because in no
other places have such thick bodies
of clay been found, and the fact that
they occur almost exclusively near
the ends of the passes and that they
are most active during and after times
of high water seems to support this
theory.
