REDUCE TAX ON
 BUSINESS SURPLUS
Prohibition Amendment Put Over
 Until September Session

Washington, Aug. 2.-In further revision of the war tax bill the senate finance committee today decided to reduce from 15 to 10 per cent. the tax rate on corporations undivided surplus which large interests have vigorously opposed. The new 10 per cent. rate also would not be applic- able to undistributed surplus actual ly invested and employed in business or retained for employment in the reasonable requirements of the busi- ness"
 The change was made in what is known as the Jones amendment and virtually is surtax on corporete tn- comes. The modification provides that should corporations retain sur- plus income, ostensibly to use in their business and then hold the surplus without using it, the original l5 per cent. rate shall apply.
 No other revisions of the bill were agreed upon today, but the commit tees hope to complete it by Saturday for begnning of senate debate next week.
 The tax on surplus applies in addi- ton to corporations. to joint stock companies, associations and insurance companies, payable upon 1915 in comes.
 National prohibition by constitu- tional amendment was hung up in the house today by the prohibition lead CTS themselves.
 The resolution to submit the pro- posal to the states, passed yesterday by the senate. was put out of the program for the present session and will not come until the regular ses- sion in Semptember.
 The conference agreement on the food control bill, containing neither of the senate amendments which would have provided for a congress sional war expenditures committee and food board of three members. was reported to the house today. Both proposals, which had been objected to by President Wilson, were stricken out of the bill by the conference.
 The house is expected to adopt the conference report tomorrow.
 The senate rules committee today again took up for consideration Sem ator Weeks resolution for a congress sional committee on the conduct of the war. A similar provision in the food control bill caused the deadlock of the conferees on the measure which was broken only after they had agreed to limit it. President Will son had opposed the provision.
 It Is considered doubtful whether the Weeks resolution can pass both houses It was bitterly fought by ad- leaders.

Other industrials and war issues made fractional gains, but rails and coppers were little changed.

Texas company Cal ifornia and Mexican petroleums and Tidewater and associated oils featur- ed their particular divisions at ad- vances of 1 1-2 to 1-2 and Utah, Chino and American Smelling led the coppers at gains of 1 to 1 1-2. De- mand for oils were restricted to min or issues. Liberty bonds ranged be- tween .99.36 and 99.40.
 Specialties reacted on moderate realizing sales during the mid-ses- sion. Alcohol lost its points raise, motors and oils and American Tele- phone also fell back. Steels, coppers and feathers were not affected in more than slight degree.

MUZZLE YOUR DOG
Mayor Quigley Issues Order to Have All Canines MuZzled Tomorrow Un- til Further Notice.

In order to take time by the fore lock and prevent any possible spread of the rabies. which have already caused one death in this city within a week, and to prevent further ir- lection of both man and beast, Mayor George A. Quigley announced this afternoon that he has issued an edict ordering all dogs in the city to be muzzled tomorrow. The mayors or der specifies that all dogs in the city row, and must remain muzzled while on the streets until further. notice.
 The mayor arrived at this conclu- sion after lengthy discussion with police officials and various physicians, all of whom agreed that this is the time when dogs should be muzzled to prevent them from biting people and other animals. Elsewhere is an amount of three persons seriously bitten by supposedly mad dogs yes terday and it is to prevent repitition that the mayor has made this rule.
 In addition to biting the several people, Mayor Quigley has been in- formed that mad dog from Hart ford ran amuck in Newington yester- day and bit two cows which had to be killed Immediately. That rabies are prevailant in various sections of the state is a statement made this af- ternoon by well known physicians and, they agree. there is every rea- son to assume that, aided by the tor rid weather, the disease has spread to this city and. will continue to spread unless rigid rules are made to quell it.
