SWAMPED BY RAIN
Mexico Wet Season HandicapS
Motor Transportation.
Must Use Railroad to Send
Forage to Pershing.
BY WEBB c. MILLER.

Columbus, n. NJ, July 12.-The
heavy rains, already causing great
difficulty in motor transportation,
have FASTENED negotiations between
Washington and Mexico City for ex-
tensive use of the Mexico Northwest
ern railroad from JuareZ for shipment
of forage to the American punitive ex-
petition. At the same time the quar-
termaster's corps has completed plans
for doubling the present number of
trucks and facilities for carrying sup
plies over the desert route between
Columbus and General Pershing's ad-
vanced base.
Doesn't Look Like Withdrawal.
These preparations belle reports
that withdrawal of the expedition is
contemplated soon. The signal corps
continues to extend the field telegraph
system on steel poles. The engineer
ing corps, when the rains permit, re-
sumes labor on a new road grade
Representatives of motor companies
here declare orders have been given
for immediate shipment of over 400
more trucks to be put into the over
land service. A large reserve of ra-
tons piled along the American lines
in Mexico is believed sufficient to feed
the American forces during the rainy
season. But the problem of forage for
the horses and mules with the expedi-
ton still is acute.

DISCOVERS COLD LIGHT
So Intense, Can Substitute Paper for
CclluIoid in Making Films.

Paris. July 1.-THE substitution of
paper rolls for celluloid films in NOV
ing picture machines is made possible
by the new cold light discovered
by the French engineer, DGssaud.
which is described to the academy of
science by Professor Branley. 1t is
obtained by automatic separation OF
heat rays from luminous rays which
occur together in all sources of light
hitherto known to science.
The quest of an absolutely pure
light devoid of all heat long has been
one of the great problems of modern
physics. The electric light is the
nearest approach to this ideal but far
from it as it gives off a certain amount
of heat NJ Dussaud has been work
ing on the problem for many years.
The light obtained by his method is
SO intense that it is possible to throw
images from newspaper i1lustra tions,
picture postcards and photogra plic
prints on a screen even in a lighted
room as clearly and sharply as if
they were glass lantern slides.

HUNGRY HOGAN IS DEAD
Hackman, Once Joke Candidate for
Congress, Was Nearly Elected.

Chicago, July 12.-Henry Hogan.
Familiarity known as Hungry Hogan,
the "up-and-down hackman," who IN
the campaign of 1912 was named by
some of his friends as a Joke cand1-
date for the nomination for con-
gresham at large from Illinois and
who came near to being elected, is
dead at his home today.
Hogan was known to travellers from
all parts of the United States who have
visited Chicago in the last two genera
TONS 1t was this fact which caused
him to be named for congress as a
joke-a joke which later presented a
boomerang phase when another count
was necessary to determine that he
had missed election by only few
votes. He was as much a part of the
business section of Chicago as the
Masonic temple or any of the all-night
restaurants. When they started to
tear down the old Union station, the
oldest landmark still remained-Ho-
gan and his cab.
Nobody appeared to know that Ho-
gan was sick. He just went to his
home on West Harrison street yester-
day and complained of a pain in his
chest; then he died.

BELIEVES CITY CAN IMPOSE TAX UPON
 TRADING STAMPS
Burger of Board of Trade Comments On Effect of the Recent Court
 Decision

The matter of whether or not the city of Birmingham has a right to levy tax upon merchants who give trading stamps as premiums win be brought be- fore the Board of Trade at meeting next week for consideration, and mem- bers of the executive committee of the commission will be called to this mat ter if it is found that the city authori- ties have a right to act on it.
 Under recent decision of the supreme court of the United States l believe that the city commission has full powers to impose a tax on the merchants who give trading stamps as premiums said Jacob Burger, yesterday.
 According to this decision. the states have right to regulate the giving of stamps and coupons as premiums so long as the legislation on the matter does not interfere with interstate commerce. As 1 view it. this means that stamps and coupons which are packed in the original package for sale in another state cannot be taxed by the state in which they are sold In other words if stamps or coupons are placed in a package and that package sealed and not to be opened until after it is purchased, neither the state of Alabama nor the city of Bir- mlngham can collect tax for the coupon or other premium therein contained How ever, when a merchant buys trading stamps and distributes them as premiums to his customers, giving a certain amount of stamps depending upon the amount of the purchase, I believe that merchants can be made to pay the city of Bir- m1ngham tax for doing so
 under the latest decision of the United States supreme court as regards trading stamps and coupons, the states have the right to regulate the business within their borders. Alabama has done so by tax ing the trading stamp companies I am of the opinion that the city of Bir- mlngham also has a right to exact tax from the merchants who give stamps for the stamps they give are not placed in package before it is purchased by customers, but are given the customer as a premium on his n11rchas SC
