WASHINGTON D. c., June ia
new tax Of sixty cents to a dollar a
hundred pounds on all grain used in
distilled alcoholic beverages was yes
terday agreed upon by the senate
finance committee which has the war
tax bill under consideration. This
action Of the committee was taken in
the face of and despite the vigorous
protests Of the distil1ers who declared
that such tax will unquestionably
force distilleries In all parts Of the
country to go out of business or at
least temporarily suspend while the
law is In operation.
Another drastic provision which the
committee yesterday agreed upon
was the prohibition Of all imports. Of

officers. With sor9e exceptions, the
officers have not made any complaints
as to their lodgings anG food. As for
the soldiers, the question Is different.
We know that the Turkish soldiers
are subjected to the same regime:

To Sink Freighter

A sketch received yesterday by the
Aero Club of America shows that the
German seaplane which torpedoed the
British freighter Gena on May l car

Bradley A. Fiske, retired, in 1872
This information will hasten the tests
of Admiral Fiske's device. which are
to begin next week.
Because OF the lack Of machines
and skilled men, the tests are being
made with small tvo-passenger planes

Secret Census Begun
To Check Up on Those
Who Fail to Re9isfer

The wide dissemination through the
mail of circulars and handbills by the
No-Conscr!ption League OF this city is
receiving close consideration Of u,e
Federal authorities. Some of this
literature has the direct object Of dis
couraglng registration, while members
OF the league are openly offering the
legal and financial backing Of the or
ganization to all who refuse to reg
lister. 1t is not unlikely that within =
day or so sheriffs, marshals and other
local authorities will receive instruc-
tons from Washington to arrest every
agitator of tais sort.
In the meantime secret censuses are
being instituted throughout the coun-
try TO check up on the young men
eligible for conscrption. These lists,
gathered by the Secret Service agents
of the Department CT Justice and local
police, will be compared on the evening
OF June with those of the men who
have registered. Any name on tie
former which is missing on the latter
Will be the signal for immediate in
vestigation, and the delinquent. il
found, VIII face year in Jail.
The American Union Against Militar-
ism yesterday opened, at 70 Fifth Ave-
nue., bureau for conscientious object
ors.
"We have available the names of
$4,000 men who have announced they
have conscientious objections against
military service" said Roger N. Bald
win, the secretary. "Our purpose Is TO
give legal aid to them and also to urge
the War Department 10 make some
provision for their exemption on
grounds other than religion"
The bureau IS in the charge Of l.
Hcllingsworth Wood, of the Society Of
Friends; the Rev. Norman NJ. Thomas,
the Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Profess
sor Harry Ward, of Boston,; Scott
Nearing. OF Toledo, and Edmond G.
Evans, of Philadelphia.
As Registration Day, June 8, draws
nearer the rush for special employment
by men who wish TO avoid registration
becomes more marked. Crowds Of men
have been seeking employment at the
local shipysrds and drydocks since IL
became known that workmen in such
plants were to be exempt from con-
scriptioE. Al one yard, 10 was said
yesterday, so many applicants have

Meetings Will Be Watched
and Preachers of Sc.
dition Seized
Secret Census To
Be Taken in N. "
Eligibles Missing in Lists
After June S Will Face
Year in Prison

Washington, May 3o.-Specisl orders
were given government ofhcisls
throughout the country to-day to keep
close watch upon meetings at which
there is likely TO be agitation against
registration under the war army act,
and TO prepare TO arrest speakers who
encourage violations Of the law.
Although the Department Of Justice
is satisfied that German influence and
money are behind efforts in various sec
tions to interfere with registration, 1t
is officially stated that the influences
are regarded as local and not the 70.
suit of any serious organized effort.
Through the Committee on Public
Information Attorney General Gregory
tonight made this announcement:
The Department of Justice to-day
communicated instructions by tele-
graph or long distance telephone to
its officers and agents in communi-
ties wherever meetings are likely to
be held at which agitation against
registration as prescribed in the new
army bill might be INDUCED in. The
United States attorneys and mar.
shals were directed to be present or
represented at the meetings and to
have stenographic reports made Of
the addresses delivered.
These reports will be gone over
carefully and arrests will be made
later in all instances in which the
utterances of the speakers are calcu-
lated to discourage registration or to
influence individuals into attempting
TO evsde the provisions Of the law.
The United States attorneys and
marshals were also directed to ask
close cooperation of the local police
authorities in each community.
From the reports being made daily
by the agents throughout the coun.
try, officials Of the department are
convinced that such threats to resist
registration as are being made are
the result of local and sporadic in
fuences, and are not inspired by any
organized effort of serious conse-
quence.

Senate Insists
On Goethals as
Shipbuilder
Conferrees Refuse to Dele
gate Appointive Choice
to the President
TFrorn Tbs Tribune Bureau1


Washington, May 30.-Representa-
tives Of the Senate stood firm to-day
against the plea of the House con-
ferrees that what has come to be
called the Goethals-Denman fight
should be compromised. So insistent
were the Senators that the upper house
amendment. which places the authority
in the giant shipbuilding programme
in the hands of General Goethals,
should prevail that the House mem
bers decided to go back for further in
structions.
The House amendment empowers the
President TO delegate TO whomever he
pleases the tremendous powers of con-
struction and Communicating granted
in the shipping section of the war de-
fciency bill. in which s4oO,OOo,OoO is
directly appropriated for shipping, and
the right TO contract for S35O,00O,0 900
more authorized.
The Senator'S fear that this would
result in the power being delegated
TO Chairman Denman of the Shipping
Board, TO whom they do not desire TO
intrust this power. They remember
that the draft of the shipping meas
ure, as first urged on them by Mr..
Denman as well as the President,
granted this power TO Mr.. Denman.
The Senate Appropriations Committee
deliberately changed this so as TO give
the power 10 General Goethals.
Expect Fight in House
This report of the failure of the
conferrees TO agree will probably be
brought up in the House tomorrow,
though it need not, of necessity. be
discussed, as an objection can force il
over for one day. When the question
does come up, il is believed there will
be a fight 10 have the House recede
and WELD to the Senate.
The curious part of the whole differ
ence is tnat both sides profess the
highest regard for General Goethals,
and neither side claims TO have any
particular admiration for Chairman
Denman. The House Appropriations
Committee members frankly declare
they want General Goethals TO have
the mower. They qualify this, however,
with the statement that the response
bility must 20 to the President, and
that he must designate some one to ex-
ercise the power. They hope this may
be General Goethsls, but declare that
they do not think Congress should in
struct the President to delegate the
mower 70 a man who is merely an Off
cial of a private corporation. General
Goethals is general manager OF the
Shipping Corporation, organized by the
SHINING Board. which. of course, IS
entirely owned by the government, be,
ing similar to the Panama Railroad
Company
While the conferrees have agreed on
many of the minor items minor only
50 far as they compare with such sp-
preparations as the three-qusr'ers OF a
billion for shipping-there is another
big point of difference, which the
House conferrees will report back to-
morrow. That is the question OF wnen
the time of enforced service on the
mart Of the men conscripted under the
selective draft law shall expire.
