WANTS LESS TALKING

Washington, May 24.-(Speciai.) Representative Blackmon of Alabama gave notice in the House today that in order that food control and other pressing legislation might be expe- dited, he would prevent further speech making under unanimous consent agreement by interposing his objec- tion.
 He declared that even though. he might give offense to certain members of the House. he felt he would give pleasure to the American people and would perform real service ;s the country.
 There has recently emanated from every section wall of complaint be- cause of the lack of pf<sgress which Congress is making. Mir. Blackmon is of the opinion that much of the com- plaint is siustifiable.

SHORT TERM BONDS TO TAKE CARE OF LARGER AMOUNT ADVOCATED
Several Changes in Income and Ex- cess Profit Features Considered. To Eliminate Zone Rate on
 Second Class Mail

Washington, May 24-Re- vision of the $1, ,800,0OO,0O0 war revenue bill, passed yesterday by the House, was begun today by the Senate finance commit tee.
 Reduction of the gross tax levy of the bill about one-third or to about s1 ,25o, ,000 900, is said to be favored by most of the committeeman. It is deemed certain, at least, that the az gregate tax burden will not be in. creased and that the committee will not consider adding the extra esti- mates of s445, 100000 recently sub mitted by the treasury department. Short term bonds to take care of the millions by which the total levy for this year probably will be reduced ap- parently is generally favored.
 CHANGES SUGGESTED Chairman. Simmons announced after today's meeting that the committee had agreed to the following changes in the House measure:
 "To strike out the additional retro active income tax on incomes earned in 1916;
 "To strike out all provisions for i'm creased second class mail rates, under the zone system and substitute low direct tax, probably about 2 per cent on all advertising. including that in newspaper and ma gaines and of bilI- boards, posters and street cars; and, 'To substitute for the House excess profits tax, on profits over 8 per cent of invested capital, an excess profits tax based instead on average profits for period of years not more than five"
 Elimination of the retroactive tax on 1916 incomes. Senator Simmons esti- mated, alone would result in redus- tion of the House bill's tax levy by s1oS.000,000.
 Newspapers and magazines have viz orously fought the proposed zone sys- tenn increase, declaring they would be ruinous to many publications. The loss of revenue by elimination of the sec tion will be partly if not wholly re- couped, the committee believes. by the proposed per cent tax on all adver- tising.
 EXCESS PROFITS TAX The excess profits tax principle adopted today. the committeeman say, would greatly relieve this years tax burdens upon business interests gem erally, provide a more equitable basis of taxation and also increase by many millions the net revenue returns. While not finally decided the committee ap- parently favors retaining the House rate of 16 per cent on excess profits over earnings over 8 per cent but with invested capital abandoned as the basa of taxation calculation and the period of years average substitute. Consideration is being given a tax upon parcel post packages. smaller than that on express shipments A par eel post tax, senators say, would bs considered freight rather than tContinued on Page Eleven)

BIRMINGHAM NOW [ HAS GOOD CHANCE ID SECURE CAMP Underwood Thinks Elimina- ton of Florida City Makes Situation Encouraging TWO SITES WILL BE
 GIVEN TO ALABAMA Montgomery Is Certain of Selection and Magic City May Secure Sec
 ond Location, Is the
 General Opinion
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, May A.-(Special. )-Sena- tor Underwood was considerably encour- aged in his effort to secure a mobiliza tion camp for Birmingham by the an- nouncement of Secretary Baker to mem- bers of the Florida congressional dele- gation today that on account of the geo. graphical isolation of that state, the un- excelled camp at Jacksonville would not be available for present purposes.
 On account of this announcement, the senator is hopeful that Alabama, like South Carolina and Georgia, will be given two mobilization camps. There is hardly doubt but that one canlr will be given to Montgomery. Inasmuch as il seems to be the intention of the govern ment to use the Anniston tract recently purchas sed solely as a permanent artillery training range for the southern states, it is almost certain that if two mobiliza- tion camps are assigned to Alabama, Bir- nningham will win the second of them.
 The efforts of Tuscaloosa, Talladega, Selma, and Huntsville to secure camp are handicapped through the apparent intention of the department to train army conscripts near the larger cities. GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT
 Washington, May M.-(Special) )-The government announced today:
 "The range at Annston will be utilized as a permanent training camp for the National Guard field artillery of the southern states and regular neld artillery stationed in the south. Preparations are under way to construct expensive ma chine gun ranges and cantonment camps for National Guard machine gun com panies"
 Other Alabama military news follows:
 The President has appointed as pro- visional lieutenants the following Ala bamians: Oscar Blount Rails, Jr., and John Cooper Adams, field artillery; Charles. Heyward Barnwell, Jr, John Downing Hill, William Audley Taylor, in- fantry Lieutenant Barnwell is a son of Dean Barnwell of the University of Ala bama.
 pr. James Kenan of Selma has been commissioned a surgeon for immediate service in France. Dr. Kenan is in Washington today. /
 Lieut.. Robert G. Thatch of Birmingham having stood successfully the physical examination for the aviation corps of the regular army, is accepted by the govern ment He announced this afternoon be- fore yielding his commission in the Ala bama cavalry troop he will return home and talk the matter. over with his par ents.
 If he enters the aviation corps, he will complete training in Texas and will go with that corps to France. It is the opinion in Washington. that the Alabama cavalry with other troops throughout the United States will be sent to Texas to do guard duty rather than to Europe.

REPORT TO NEW YORK

New York, May 24.-The Anchor Line steamship Pennsylvania was sunk in the Mediterranean, off the French-Italian coast, it was learned here today. The survivors were taken into Savona, Italy. There they remained until May F, cared for by the populace and administered to by Red Cross authorities.
 Captain Bruell, who lives in Scotland, commanded the Pennsylvania when she went down. He is one of the oldest cap- tains in the Anchor Line service.
 The Transylyania' sslast appearance in American waters was on the day when the Lusitania was torpedoed, May z. 1915. Just as she was about to sail from New York with 972 passengers Capt. John Black, then commanding, was given the information of the Lusitania's fate. The vessel left ostensibly for Liverpool, but

The Pennsylvania, an Anchor Line steamship of 14,S15 tons gross. has been in the service of the British government since May, 1915, when her sailings were cancelled. There have been no recent re- ports of her movements. When she was first taken over by the British govern ment, she was engaged in transporting troops to Gallipoli.
 The Pennsylvania was built in 1914. She was constructed especially for passenger traffic between New York and Mediter- ranean ports. She was 54S feet long and had accommodations for 245O passengers.

ayers are further investigating the
matter with n view to reclaiming q
decision which will be satisfactory
to the people. Reduction under the
present process in Harrisburg and
incineration as proposed by at least
one of the commissioners means
waste and expense. Scientific dis
posal as favored by other officials
who have given the matter thought
would involve the turning over of
the garbage to farmers or others for
feeding to hogs as is done at Spring
field, Mass, Providence and in other
cities.
Charles " Chaplin, the superintend-
cnt of health at Providence, declares
that the full garbage pail here has
been disgrace. In this hS agrees
with Regular Army officers and other
who cannot understand the wasteful
methods of the average householder
High price of food products has
started people to thinking and gar
age collectors are now finding con-
siderably less garbage than three
years ago. AS Mr.. Chaplin suggests
1.-The housewife has merely wasted
but city officials have often done
worse. They have made this waste
a burden on the taxpayers. They
have spent money to get rid of gar
bage when they might have derived
a profit. He points out that there
are three principal methods of gar
bage disposal-incineratio reduc-
tion or rendering and hog feeding.
III country and village, as this writer
points out, the familiar pig has usu-
ally consumed the family garbage.
AS towns grew the pigs become a
nuisance and were driven out; hence
the garbage collector and the prob
lem of disposal.
Residents of the northern section
Of Harrisburg have complained for
several years of the intolerable
