SENATE ADOPTS
REVENUE BILL
Great War Tax Measure Is Now
Ready for Signature of
President.
TO SIGN IMMEDIATELY
New Law Carries Levy of $4,000, 0oo,'
oo0-Conference Report Is Adopt
ed Without Roll Call by.
Upper House.

Washington, Oct Following the
example set by the House, the Senate
adopted the conference report on the
great war tax bill without a roll call
More than two and half billion dol
lars of new taxes are levied by the
measure, which has been in the max
ing since last April
President Wilson is expected to sign
the bill Immediately.
Senate final discussion was brief.
Most of the criticism was upon the
second class postage increases.
The speedy action on the confer
ence report raised members hopes for
Saturday or not later than next
week. The administration sailors
and soldiers insurance bill, which has
passed the House, will be brought up
at once in the Senate. It's disposal in
few days is anticipated. The only
other measure the leaders expect to
put through before adjournment is the
$4,000, 100000 deficiency appropriation
bill whose conferees expect to agree
and secure adoption of their report
with perfunctory debate.
Draws on War Profits.
AS finally drafted after one of the
longest and most strenuous struggles
in congressional history, the revenue
bill, which was passed by the House
May % and by the Senate after a
months debate September 10, draws
principally upon incomes and war ex.
cess profits. The House bill totalled
$1,S6S, 100000, and the Senate raised
the amount to $2,416,00O,000. The
conferees' draft increased the total as.
sessment by about $75OOOO,O0O over
the House and $12S,OOO,OOO above the
Senate.
The bill now is estimated to raise
about $3.50, 100000 from incomes, cor.
porate and individuar and about ST..
0O0,O00,0OO from war excess profits.
Other major levies are $3O,O0O,0O on
tobacco; about $275, 100000 on liquors /;
$7,000,000 on first-class mail; 100000.
600 on automobiles; $77,500,000 on
iASiohI pUO,oUU,VUO vi
passenger transportation; $32,000,00O
from stamp taxes and $60,0O0,00O from
amusement admissions.
Consumption Taxes Eliminated.
Elimination of consumption taxes on
sugar, tea, coffee and gas, electric
and telephone service together with
house taxes on 1916 incomes and a
general 10 per cent tariff levy were
features of the evolution of the bill.
Both praise and criticism was given
the conference report in the Senate.
Senator Simmons said the bill had
been decidedly improved. Senators
Penrose and Smoot also spoke on fea-
lures of the conference compromises.
The closing speech was made by
Senator La Toilette, who reiterated
his opposition to the small amount of
taxation proposed compared to large
bond issues and his demands for great
er taxation of wealth. He said he
would defer until some time later
some observations he had intended
to offer on the bill and matters con-
nected with it,"

COAL COMING TO NORTHWEST
Shipments to Canada Stopped to Sup
ply Needs Here.

Minneapolis, Oct. 3.-In order to di-
vert coal from Canada to meet the
fuel shortage in the Northwest, DR.. H.
A. Garfield, fuel administrator, Or
dered that all shipments of coal into
Canada from American lake ports be
stopped, according to special dis
patches from Washington.
This order followed the unexpected
appearance in Washington of w. Fl.
Groverman of the coal dock associa-
lions, and conference which followed
between Senator Kellogg and DR.. Gar
field.
The situation as reported by Mr.
Groverman is regarded as serious. He
maintained that of the quota of IT,
100000 tons of coal that should have
been delivered at American lake ports
for consumption this winter in the
Northwest, only 100000 had been de-
livered, while the remainder had gone

CASE LIKELY TO co OVER
Decision In La Toilette Custer
Proceedings Unlikely Soon.
To Be Taken Up at Once by Senate
Committee But Final Outcome
Is Uncertain.

Washington, Oct 4.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
will hold an executive session at once
to take up various petitions and de.
mands on the senate for the expulsion
of Senator r. M. La Toilette, which
are being received in ever-increasing
numbers from all over the country by
Vice President Marshall and members
of the senate.
The calling of the meeting was an
nounced by Chairman Atlee POmerene,
who would give no statement as to
the manner in which the committee
will proceed, saying that was a mat.
ter for the members to determine.
Several of the members of the com
mittee are known to favor resolution
of expulsion while two or three are
known to be against such resolution.
Recess Sessions Probable.
1t appears that no action will be
taken by the committee at this session,
but it was considered possible that a
meeting would be called during the
recess of congress. 1t was reported
that Senator Kellogg. if the committee
does not take action, will offer a reso-
luton of expulsion to the senate.
Ii such a resolution were offered it
would again go to the privileges and
elections committee. While leading
senators appear to believe nothing will
be done at this meeting, there is new
ertheless a strong undercurrent of
opinion favoring immediate action.
That those who favor Senator La Fol
lette's expulsion will be able to force
the issue in the few remaining days
of the session is doubtful.
