HEAVY TAX ON LIQUOR.
Senate Proposed to Place Almost Pro
hibitive Figure.

Washington, June 5.-Prohibition leg
islation was approved yesterday by the
Senate finance committee as a new fea-
ture of the war tax bill.
Prohibitive taxes upon distillation of
whiskey and other spirits for beverage
purposes, with ban on their importa-
I-tion, were agreed upon by substantial
majority of the committee. Taxes fixed
by the House on beer and wines were
left unchanged, though they have not
yet been finally approved.
General suspension of beverage produc-
ton by distilleries and the use of liquor
now in bonded warehouses probably
would be the eject of the new tax sec
ton if enacted into law.
Curtailment Of liquor consumption
during the war and conservation of food
stuffs used in manufacturing distilled
spirits, Chairman Simmons said last
night, constituted in adopting the sub
stitutes for the House rates. Manufae-
ture of alcohol for industrial, mechani-
cal or medicinal purposes would not be
affected.
In addition TO the present tax of 1920
per gallon on the liquor, tax of $50
per bushel from IS to 50 gallon( upon
all grain, cereal or other foodstufFs used
in manufacturing whiskey or other dis
titled spirits for use as beverages was
written into the bill. Senator Simmons
said the increase would be prohibtive
upon manufacture while the law is in
effect, or during the war. Increased
taxes Of s. per gallon upon molasses,
syrups and substitutes used in distilla-
tion for beverage purposes also was
agreed upon. Permits for expectation
would be given only for war purposes
upon application by a nation at war with
Germany.
As supplementary legislation the CON-
mittee further approved an amendment

try. Porto Rico and the Philippines Of

TO DISCHARGE MEN.
Probably 1870 Men in Plattsburg Camp
Will Have to Go.

Plattsburg, \. Y, Jan. 5.-Lieut. Col
p. A. Wolf, eommandant OF Plattsbure
officers training camp, caused some
thing OF a sensation yesterday by the
announcement that on June 10 there
would be a general wedding out of men
physically or in any other way unfit for
commissions as officers in the regular
army, and that it was expected this
elimination would reduce the camp by
1870 men, or the equivalent of ten com
panies. On the same day four companies
of student artillery officers will leave for
Syracuse for more detailed study of that
branch of the service. while one company
of engineers will go to Belyoir, Va.
The camp is now made up OF "a com
panies, including the four companies of
National Guardsmen. After the depart
ure of the artillery and engineer stu
dents and the elimination of the unfit
there will remain but 20 companies di-
vided into two regiments. Eight men,
bers of the New England regiment, of
whom five were National Guardsmen,
we're discharged from the company for
various reasons yesterday.

that the company be recruited to full
strength from Barre. From what he
| knew of Barre volunteers, he said, the
| idea struck him most favorably and at
the present time he and his brother OH
GERS were making an appeal for LOG men
| to bring the unit up to war strength.
| The war is not between armies, but be-
| tween armed nations, said the captain,
and to preserve intact the integrity and
honor of our country there must be men
| who will shoulder arms in her cause. In
closing he called for enlistments and told
all potential recruits to apply at the
Headquarters armory this morning at .
o'clock for the examination.
After the speechmaking the officers
remained to consult with any who con-
templated enlisting. The hall was
cleared OF chairs and for an hour and
more there was dancing for the section
Of the audience that remained,
Those Who Applied.

mated scene to-day and the captain put

presented themselves.
Capt. Sullivan, who arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon, indicated his salts

All of the recruits registered from

fcers will remain at the armory until |
Wednesday evening and in the interim it |
is hoped that Barre's adoption" of CI
may be assured. The officers |
are unanimous in expressing their graft
tude to the Barre people who lent their
assistance toward formulating plans Tor
the parade and rally.
In statement this afternoon, repre-
sentative of the party quoted Prin. o. X.
of Goddard seminary as saying
that he has no objection to the enlist
ment of any of his students who are
young men of legal military age, is or
over. The principal also gave evidence of
bis cooperation by intimating that mem
bers of the graduating class will receive
their certificates, even though they may
enlist before commencement week, and
that other young men will be given cred
It in their studies. Prin. HOLSTERS pa
triotism finds expression in a manner
similar to that of the faculties of other
schools and colleges in Vermont and
elsewhere.

Three years ago st. Louis undertook
4 campaign to exterminate those in
sects which are q menace to public

the campaign is being pushed with
even more vigSr by the St. Louis Con-

alton and other prominent health or
CARNATIONS, cooperating with the St.
Louis health department..
Thus far the health departments ef-
forts have been directed mainly to the
determination Of the fly and the mos
quito, but it is intended in the future
to include the bedbug and the flea in
this campaign. The two first mention
ed insects were selected in the first
campaign, as they are the two most
formidable disease carriers by reason
Of their power of flight.
