u. S. Moulding
7 Billion Dollar
Golden Bullet
Work Begun on Bill to
Raise Two Billion by
Taxation in Year
~ STEVENSON Ii. EVANS

Washington. April Eff, as ire
euently has been said on the otnet
side Of the water, golden bullet Will
win the war, Uncle Sam is prepared TO
supply such missile very quickly.
That is the ono thing he can do I'M
medately Other things must wait on
physical causes.
Roughly speaking. provided the war
lasts only a year, about seven billion
American dollars will go into the
moulding Of the golden bullet. Secre'
tary McAdoo tonight points out how
il is best to raise five billions Of those
dollars. That will be easily accom-
plished-comparatively-by means OF a
bond issue so handled that the public
will be in Oh the purchase. The money
secured BY the sale Of the bonds IS
instantly needed. $1,000, 100000 for a
loan to the Entente and S2OOo,OO0,OOO
for the rapid expansion of the Amcri-
can army and navy.
OF more immediate concern. as FAR q ;
personal pockctbook feelings go, IL how
that other two billion IS to be raised D.
taxation. To he exact, the required
amount probably will not exceed ST.
500 900 900, but such a vast sum never
before has been raised by taxation in
the United States in one year. and II
must be remembered that will be IN
addition TO the regular expenses OF gov
eminent.
Committee at Work on Bill
or course the methods OF taxation
originate pro forma-in the House
and the Ways and Means Committee Of
that body is now at work on a bill. II
IS taking suggestions from the Admin.
istration. however. and the final bill
Will not be widely different from the
EXPRESSED desires Of the President.
one Of the men who has been called
into conference and who has attended
all tho preliminary meetings at which
the financial war policy of the govern
ment has been decided upon told me
tonight these items in the revenue bill
might be set down as almost a cer-
tainty:
Consumption tax on. sugar, one cent
a pound sl00,000,000.
Increases in The income tax, $780,
600 900.
Stamp taxes. S1OOOOOoOO.
Extra tariff on wine, beer and whis-
key. $125,000,000.
Tariff on coffee and tea, $50 ,000 600.
Proprietary medicines, s50,0O0,O00.
This is less than half the sum which
will be raised by taxation. Many more
items must be added. From even so
brief a list it can be seen how great
a problem the tax imposers have 10
solve. The sum 20 be derived from the
income tax will affect hundreds OF
thousands. The incomes below $1,000
year Will be tapped. Probably the
point Of exemption will be Sl,200-ce--
tainly not more than $500.
Worried Most About Russia
The problem Of money is the one
abou. which the Administration is
worrying the least. Most worry. II not
positive alarm, now comes from the
uncertainty about Russia, the stability
of the republican government, the pos
Sibility OF success of a German drive.

HEAVY TONE TO
WHEAT MARKET
Cash Prices Easing Off
Corn Also Under
Pressure

Chicago, June 20.-The wheat mar
ket was heavy and there has been fur
ther price reductions due to moderate
selling with slow demand. Cash pric-
es are easing off and producers are
finding 1t difficult to sell new wheat
owing to restrictions which are max
ing IT unusually hazardous for the casn
handlers to make definite contracts.
Country offerings are increasing.
The weather conditions are favorable,
with good rains in the Canadian north
west where most needed. The north
west also had considerable moisture. In
general, crop reports indicate better
yield than early government estimates.
Corn: The market was under pres
sure today. December was strong ear
ly, but later eased off with other
grains, most of the pressure being on
September. Some selling of September
against purchases of December noted.
Cash prices were fairly steady relative
to the futures but the demand was not
very good. Weather favorable with
more showers predicted. The market
has a heavy tone, but there Is nothing
weak in the cash situation.
Oats followed the break in corn but
the decline has been moderate. Cash
trade is slow with an easier undertone
OH account of fairly liberal stocks with
new crop harvest impending. The mar
ket will probably continue to reflect
the action of corn for the present.

PROBE STRANGE
MURDER CASE
Sensational Developments
Promised in New Jer-
sey Mystery
(By Associated Press.>

New Brunswick, N. J., June 2o.-No
motive has been disclosed as yet for
the murder Of John Vincent Piper,
graduate student at Rutgers college,
whose body was found here Saturday
after he had been missing four
months. DR.. William Condor, a
prominent physician of this city and
captain in the u. S. A. Medical
corps, is under arrest at Chattanooga,
Tenn, charged with the crime.
Prosecutor James E. Stricken pre-
dicted last night there would be SEN
sational developments and declared he
had sufficient evidence to assure a
conviction in the case. Traces of lime
in the cellar of the Condor home,
where Piper went every day to care
for the furnace as part of the work
he was doing to pay his college ex-
penses, coupled with the fact that
Piper's body was covered with lime
when 1t was found, are declared by
the prosecutor to be important links
in his chain OF circumstantial evid-
ence.
DR.. Condor has been prominent in
society and politics in this city. He
was lieutenant and assistant surg
con general in the u. S. army in
Philippines and Japan from 1900 to
1902 and was a captain in the New
Jersey National guard for 10 years
after that.
Piper, who was a graduate OF the
University of Vermont, not only paid
his college expenses by caring for
furnaces and doing other work, but
supported his wife and two children.
He was "a years old. DIR. Condor is

GROCERS FAVOR
FOOD CONTROL
Wholesalers of Country
Open Liberty Conven-
ton" in Chicago
(By Associated Press.)

Chicago. June 20.-Men who have
had much to do with handling the
nations food supply were here today
when the Liberty convention" of the
National Wholesale Grocers' associa-
ton was formally called to order.
Theodore F. Whitmarsh, president
of the organization. paid a tribute to
those at Washington engaged on the
food problem and the earnest and eff
cient manner in which members of
the administration put in long hours
at their tasks.
Mr.. Whitmarsh recounted that the
association is a war council assigned
to carry out the pledge of the grocers
to assist the government in every
possible way. He advocated that
authority to conduct all phases of the
war be centralized in a competent
few.
Mr.. Whitmarsh paid his respects to
those who would curtail exports by
asserting that such n practice would
be unfair. unfriendly and unthink-
able" On the subject of business as
usual Mr.. Whitmarsh said:
I'VE must help to correct the err
roneous notion prevailing as to the
sort Of economy necessary under ex-
listing conditions. What is required is
the elimination of waste and the
checking Of actual extravaganza, not
contraction Of business in an abnor-
NAL sense"
Fred r. Drake, chairman, in pre-
senting the report of the committee
on pure food legislation, said the as
ISOLATION is heartily supporting ad-
ministration food bills pending in
congress.

RRooMHALL REPoRTs.

Broomhall cabled from Liverpool
Wheat: General position from supply
and demand standpoint is more favor
able. Consumption lighter and arriv-
ais exceeding expectations. Stocks are
increasing slowly but surely and float
ing quantity liberal. India, Canada and
freely and American clearances are a
great surprise to all importers.
Corn market strong with export Of
fers light. American holdings strong
and shipments moderate. Argentine
quality unfavorable, therefore shippers
are refusing to I'LL contracts resulting
in light clearances.
Spot situation everywhere abnormal
and demand urgent both for food and
feed American new crop outlook more
favorable, but stocks light, and this is
reflected in cash corn, which is hard to
buy
Oats: Market easier as supplies are
increasing. Argentine reserves good
and American shipments liberal.
Brazil-Latest advices state that
considerable acreage has been planted
to wheat and that war has turned this
country toward agriculture. 1t is ex-
pected 10000 900 bushels wheat will be
realized il the weather continues IA
vorable. Argentine wheat will not be
needed to any appreciate extent to
supply requirements next season.
Australia-Visible stocks OF wheat
June /, 104,000,000 against 100000, 900
May and $4,000, 900 last year.
India-General rain has fallen which
is favorable for native food grain and
also soil. -

AMERICA WILL ISSUE RED
WHITE and Blue BOOKS
Will Set Forth In Full This Countrtys
Reasons For Entering the
World War.

Washington, June 2O.-A pamphlet
entitled how the war came to Ameri-
ca" and intended as an answer to the
question why did the United States
go to war;? is to be published soon

tain among other things three notable

of red, white and blue books" to
be put out as the war progresses.
The pamphlet will be translated in
to many languages and circulated
broadcast.
In an announcement regarding it
tonight the committee said:
This pamphlet was determined up
on as the result Of the mass of letters
which have come in to all government
offices from all parts of the country,
asking for an exact and comprehen-
sive statement of why the United
States went into the war. The ma
tertal with which these questions
should be answered has already been
widely published, but in a scattered
way, and it has been the effort of the
committee to compose a simple and
Straightforward statement of how the
war came to America

New York. June 2o.-News yesterday
morning was not of an encouraging
nature to those carrying stocks and al

very much as it had in the previous

from that point on, fuctuated irregu-
larly with net changes at the close OF

issues. Call money again commanded
6 per cent during most of the day
though it dropped to 4 per cent at the
close. The estimate of 800, 900, 900 in
gold to come in on this movement was
increased today by another $4,000, 900

look for an early return to low money
rates. They are not very disposed to a
reduction that might stimulate specu-

mands in sight are heavy enough to
make necessary protective measures to
assure that there will not be any SCI
