HIGH TAXES ARE
 AIMED AT BOOZE
(By Review Leased Wire) |.

WASHINGTON, June 4-Prohibi- tion legislation was approved by the senate finance committee today as a new feature of the war tax.
 Prohibitive taxes upon distillation of whiskey and other spirits for bever- age purposes with ban upon their importation were agreed upon by a substantial majority of the committee. Taxes fixed by the house on beer and wines were left unchanged though they have not yet been finally ap- proved.
 General suspension of beverage pro duction by distilleries and use of liquor now in bonded warehouses probably would be the effect of the new tax section if enacted into law.
 Manufacture of alcohol for industrial mechanical or medicinal purposes would not be affected by this measure.
 In addition to the present tax of $2 a gallon on liquor, a tax of s20 a bushel (from $50 to 90 a gallon) upon all grain, cereal or other foodstuffs, used in manufacturing whiskey or other distilled spirits for use as beverages, was written into the bill. Senator Simmons said the increase would be prohibitive upon manufac- ture while the law is in effect, or dur ing the war. Increased taxes of S5 per gallon upon molasses, syrups and substitutes used in distillation for beverage purposes also was agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation al war with Germany.
 As supplementary legislation the committee further approved an amend ment prohibiting importation into this country. Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands of distilled spirits made from any foodstuff except for industrial. meu:cal or scientific uses.

MAXIMUM PRICE
 FIXED FOR CORN
(By Review Leased Wire).

CHICAGO, June 4.-Boari of Trade directors fixed a maximum price for corn late today, as was done with wheat several weeks ago. The price fxied was s1.65 on all contracts of corn for future delivery. There was less excitement among the brokers than on the occasion of the similar ac- ton taken on wheat some weeks ago.
 The following resolution was adopt ed at the directors meeting:
 Resolved, That on and after We'd nesday, June 6, 1917, until further mo- tice, members of this board in making contracts for the purchase or sale by grade alone, of corn to be delivered in store, either for immediate or future delivery, shall not, in entering into such contracts, exceed the price of $1.65 per bushel. Be it further
 Resolved. That any man trading in violation of the foregoing shall be guilty of grave Offense against the good name Of .ne association"
 Joseph P Griffin, chairman of the board of directors, said:
 Tn order that this action of the directors in fixing a maximum price for all corn contracts may not be mis- interpreted. would have it understood that the step was taken for purely pre- ventative reasons. While it is a fact that governments and consumers are liberal buyers of corn for present and future delivery, there is no present in dication that this buying has reached proportions that might result in un- duly enhancing values.
 'fIt is the policy of the administra- tion at Washington to prevent the price of foodstuffs reaching an abnor- mally high level and the action of our directory in fixing s1.65 as the maxi mum for corn contracts is simply in support of the policy of President Will son and his advisors"

Officials believe it would only con. fuse the situation for fragmentary re turns to be handled. They have urged the press of the country to make no comparisons of the results as between town and town or state and state un- less the full report from each locality is available.
 To this end reports from precinct registrars will be compiled immediate ly on the close of registration at p. m. The cards will be examined and the standardization transmitted by wire to the county or city officials. which will give all detailed informa- tion that is needed. In turn. when all precincts have reported. the sheriffs or the city boards will transmit to the governors an abstract of these detailed reports, dealing in totals only.

Officials here said tonight there was no objection to the publication of any completed precinct. county. city or state. but that the furnishing of partial returns had been forbidden.
 Look For No Trouble.
 Preparations now are in progress for registration in Alaska and Hawaii. The partments are working satisfactorily. and their plans. and when they are ready the President will fix registra- tion day for each territory.
 Officials who have watched closely all reports of agitation declared to- night there was absolutely no indica- tion of any concerted movement to in terfere with registration. They believe that reports of the few scattered cases which have developed have greatly eX- aggerated the situation. and that the country as a whole is in complete ac- cord with the objects of the law.

2 WIRELESS SETS SENT
 n MEXICO
Three Men Accused of Having Conspired To Keep Kaiser Informed of Uncle Sam's Activities.

KEW YORK, June 4.-Evi-
 V dence that two complete W high powered wireless in- stallations, assembled h e from various sources, were shipped piecemeal to Mexico, supposedly for use of Ger man spy system in this coun- try, was unearthed today in connection with the arrest of three men on charges of con- spring to send mail, contain ing military information, sur reptiously from the United States to Germany through members of Norwegian ship crews.
 It was intimated by the United States commissioner before whom the pIotters were arraigned, that it was through their instrumentality that ad- vance news of the impending arrival in England of the American destroy CTS fiotilla was sent to Germany be- fore it even became generally known in this country that it sailed. Sev- eral hundred letters have been seized and are being translated in the ex- pectation that they will open the way to full revelation of the alleged spy plot.
 The prisoners are Harry A Perissi and Irving Bonaparte, both said to be American-born, employed by Ger man electrical company here, and A. E. Melchar, said to be naturalized citizen from Sweden. They are charged with conspiracy to induce members of the crews of the steam ships Bergenhefjord and Krisianiaf- ford. both chartered to carry regular United States mails, to take letters and packages from this country de- stined for Germany, in violation of the law prohibiting tempering with the United St2Tes mails.
 When the three were arraigned be- fore Commissioner Hitchcock, bail was fixed at s2,500 for Perissi and Bonaparte. and s2O,OOO for Melchar.
 That others are implicated and that the men under arrest are willing to tell all they know was indicated by counsel for Bonaparte who said his client was willing to help the govern ment in every way in his power.
 A fourth man was detained pend ing investigation of evidence con meeting him with others, particularly in the wireless part of the alleged plot. He is Ferdinand H. Adams. German citizen, employed by an cleo trical company here.
 May Be Court MartiaIed.
 WASHINGTON. June 4.-lf three men arrested in New York in the mail plot case are connected by the evidence with the forewarning which reached Berlin regarding the sending of American destroyers. court mar tial is one of the possibilities facing prisoners.
 No comment on the case was forth coming tonight from the war depart ment. If the charges are made that the men actually transmitted or at tempted to transmit to Germany in formation as to movements of the American detsroyers. it was believed they could be turned over to the army for trial. and in the event of convic- tion would be condemned to death, as the articles of war give a military court no alternative for that sentence.

"And thIs-this canal, m~essieurs,"

Pearl drew away from the wall, In
wardly s%coffing and deeply r~esentful at
these preposterous suggestions. She
could hear no more of them. Were IL
not for the fact that the one In whom
she had pledged her faith In manhood
was being publicly disgraced for a
crime she now knew to have been com
mitted by others she would have be-
lieved that these arch International
plotters were escaped lunatics. This
alone kept her from doing something
ridiculous.
A new thought flashed into her mind
as the full meaning of the IN

In the hall stood Pearl wringing her

written on her face. 1t was plain that

piteously, approaching the major.

She interrupted with a determined

And that ended 1t. She went.
1t was arranged at the last moment
so that Colonel Dare could leave the
