War Tax Bill to Bring Reuenue Of $1,5OO,OOO
Senate Finance Committee Completes Revision of Measure; Proposes New Tax On Parcel Post.
CBy Review Leased Wire. )

WASHINGTON, May 31.-With fur ther trimming of the $1.SO0 .00O, ,OOO war tax bill, the senate finance com mittee's revision work today reached the stage ofdetailed drafting with the completion of a measure aggregating about S1 300 100000 next Wednesday or Thursday in prospect.
 Several new sources of revenue were drawn upon today, other house taxes were reduced and further substitut- ing adopted. The principal changes affecting the general public included:
 A new tax on parcel post packages of one cent on each 25 cents or frac- ton paid by shippers and adoption of the same rate for express packages as a substitute for the house levy of six per cent upon express transporta- tion. The shipper would pay the tax.
 Reduction by one half. or to five per cent, of taxes on amounts paid for land or water transportation, including charges for berths or parlor car chairs, entailing a loss of revenue of s35,000.- 900.
 Adoption of excise or consumption taxes, payable eventually by the con sumer. of half cent a pound on sugar two cents on tea and three cents on cocoa.
 A repeal of the existing law levying a 1215 per cent on war munitions, now bringing in s25,000.000 revenue. became substitute for the excess pro fits taxes measure.
 With these and several minor changes, Senator Simmons said the bill now virtually is ready for techni- cal re-drafting, to put in proper form the revisions agreed to and already an nounced. Treasury department sug- gestions and individual amendments of various senators will be considered tomorrow.
 In an effort to agree upon to an equitable tax upon newspapers, mag azines and other publications now transported for one cent a pound. the committee today arranged for a gen. eral conference Saturday night. Chairman Simmons and other mem- bers will meet representatives of the publishers and the postoffice depart ment. The proposed general two per cent tax on all advertising and the Hardwick amendment, to greatly in- crease postage charges on portions of the publications devoted to advertis- ing, will be discussed.

American Troops Guarding Fords of Rio Grande, Ready For Any Emergency; Villa Not With Force.

PRESIDIO, Tex, May 31.-Ojinaga the Mexican town opposite here, is a deserted villige of the Mexican plains tonight. The Villistas commander took the town by surprise yesterday morning, slipped out of the place dur ing the night. and late today was re- ported to be moving up the Concho River toward San Juan. Chihuahua, in a cloud of dust. A Mexican boy, who was shot through the left lung, and an aged Mexican camp follower who was wounded in the body. were the last to leave the town today. having been brought to this side for medical treatment.
 The Mexican government lieutenant returned to Ojinaga today to investi- gate after the last of Villas followers had departed He remained only a short time and returned to the Amer ican side with the report that there was no one left in the town.
 Reports regarding Villas where abouts continue to be conflicting. and no one who has crossed to the Amer ican side of thei river saw Villa in Ojinaga after the Villa commander took possession there. There is little doubt that Villa is in the Ojinaga dis trict with a force of more than 800 men. It is reported today that Villa had come to the border to export or smuggle over large shipment of sil- yer bullion in return for ammunition. but this is officially denied.
 Colonel Riojas, commander of the government forces at Ojinaga, came to a small mountain overlooking the town today, but returned toward Mula late in the day.
 Garcia and Figueroa were reported late today 20 miles south of Ojinaga with five hundred men.
 American troops are guarding every ford and crossing and are reported prepared for any emergency. Presidio is filled with Mexican soldiers who fled from Ojinaga. and the river front is lind with brush tents of the refugee families who followed the military forces across the Rio Grande.

House, By Vote of 184 To 144, Turns Down Adminis- tration's Attempt To Take Freedom From The Press. II DEMOCRATS VOTE
 AGAINST THE BILL Voluntary Censorship Is Point ed Out As Having Proven Loyalty of Newspapers; 1; Silence At White House.
tBv Review Leased Wirel.

YVYASHINGTON, May 31.-The ad- W ministration's fight for a war w censorship on newspapers was
 lost in congress today. at least for tte present. when the house re- fused, tv a vote of 1Si 10 144, to ac- cept even tie modified censorship section written into the espionage bill in conference. The senate al- ready is on record as opposed to a censorship bill. and leaders in con- gress do not expect any further eff forts to enact one in the immediate future.
 The test in the house came on a motion to recommit the espionage bill with instructions that the censorship regulations be eliminated. Despite a determined attempt of Democratic managers to line up the party strength behind President Wilson's demand for censorship. eleven Democrats, disre- gsrdine their partv's caucus decision, voted in the negative.
 White House Silent.
 Conferees for the house will report their instructions back to the senate conferees tomorrow and the bill, shorn- of the censorship provision. probably will be reached by both sen late end house within a few days, and finally accepted. It carries important interpretations of the bylaws and authorization for the President to lay embargoes in time of war.
 No comment on the outcome in the house was forthcoming from the White House In the house debate today, opponents of censorship ar gued that a restriction such as the conferees proposed would violate the right of a free press.

THREE COLLEGE STUDENTS, ONE A GIRL, ARRESTED FOR URGING
 RESISTANCE ID REGISTRATION

| A. Content, Catell. Phillips and Miss Parker cOnspired to induce divers persons whose names are unknown to fail to register June 3. The defend ants, alleged to be committees se- lected at the meeting of May s, are accused of having endeavored on May "A to have the Graphic Press print pamphlets entitled Will you be draft ed?"
 A copy of the text of the alleged document made public by the federal authorities contains the assertion, We will approve the action of any one who refuses to register for con scription." The pamphlet says the question of selective draft. with it's implications for the future" is more important than the question of defeat or victory in the war; and that the draft. as outlined in the new law. ''is abhorrent to any true conception of democracy"
 Urqes Resistance.
 The present administration and con gress were elected presumably be- cause they were expected to keep us out of war" the document asserts, and when war was declared there was no referendum nor was there a refer endum as to the selectlve draft. the remembering perhaps that the referendum in Australia had resulted in a two to one vote against conscription.'
 The pamphlet says that 'if we want to strike with the full strength of our numbers we must refuse to register for conscription-even if it puts us in jail"
