Senate Commuters Take Step
Toward Prohibition

Washington, June if.-TwO COM
mittees of the Senate took impOr-
tant steps Monday toward prohi-
bitiOn.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
overwhelmingly voted q favorable
report on the Sheppard amendment
for national prohibition.
At the same time the Senate Com
mittee on Agriculture voted to re-
port out bill to restrict liquor
manufacture.
Senator WAdsworth, of New York,
offered a motion to provide that in
stead of outright prohibition of the
use of foodstuffs in the manufacture
of beer and other malt liquors, that
power be given to order such PrOhi-
bitiOn whenever he deemed it in the
public interest.
This motion was pending when the
committee adjourned until yester-
day.
The net effect of the committee
meeting is to make it certain that
the committee will bring out bill
which will prohibit outright the use
of foodstuffs for distilling spirits and
making wines for beverage purposes.
and that it will either seek to pro-
hibit manufacture Of malt liquors
or will authorize the President to
do so.
Sentiment in the committee favors
authorizing the President to CON-
mandeer liquor in bond in order
that il may be converted into alcO-
hOl for munitions manufacture.
The Finance Committee some days
ago decided to put into the war tax
bill a provision which would tax
newly distilled spirits to point
which would be practically prohib-
tive.

7 Ships

Washington. May 9.-The Federal
Shipping Board tonight announced
that il had purchased from Ameri-
All owners seven Austrian mer-
chantmen held in American ports,
totaling 5262i tons for $6,778,OO6.
The price is about half the prevail
ing price for ships. The vessels will
be repaired within a few months
and placed in the war emergency
trade by the board.
The ships are the Dora, Of 1000
tCEs, and the Ida Of l,73O tons, both
at New York; the Erny, Of 6,5i5 tons,
at Boston; the Anna Of Isis tons
the Clara, Of 1892 tons; the Teresa,
of 3,769 tons, at New Orleans and the
Lucia Of 6,74i tons at Pensacola.
They were bought from A. T.
Herd and George A. Garden, New
York shipowners who agreed to sac
rifice their profits and sell at vir-
tually the same price they gave for
the vessels.
This economic experiment is in
sharp contrast to the experience met
by the Government in ship purchas-
ing at the outbreak Of the Spanish
American War;" said Chairman Den

also had agreed to waive its inter-
est.
The vessels could not have been
operated by the private American
owners until after the war without
becoming liable TO Seizure by allied
warship. The low price paid by the
Government was 100000 more than
was paid originally to the Austrian
owner, the Austro-American Steam
ship Line. This sum represented
financing cost and attorneys fees
incident to the purchase.
The ships were bought at Presi-
dent Wilson's direction and pay
ment will be made from the
siOO,OOO,OOO war emergency fund
at the Presidents disposal. Other
similar purchases are contemplated
by the Shipping Board and il is
said some of the Austrian ships now
in American ports may be acquired.
"Messrs. Herd and Garden pur-
chased the vessels with the approx
al Of the State Department, which
they obtained on April g" said Mr..
Denman. The vessels will be re-
paired and placed in a trade serv-
ing the war-emergency in the very
near future. The shipping Board
has made a careful survey of the
vessels and expects that il will have
them ready for sea with the same
expedition shown in the repair Of
the Hamburg-American fleet.

II was predicted by physicians
who spoke at the meeting Of the
National association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis that,
with the present progress to that
end, the disease will soon become
as susceptible Of prevention and
cure as typhoid foyer and small
pox. The people must be educated
in the matter, and this the Tuber-
culosis Commission at Frankfort is
bending every effort TO do. Plenty
Of pure air, nourishing food, rest md
cheerfulness works wonders in re-
lief and cure.

ODD GALLERY OF THE DEAD
catacombs Of G%uanajuato, Mexico,
Where Mummifed Bodies Are
Placed In LONG Rows.

One Of the sights frequently visited
by tourists I'm Mexico is the gallery of
the dead at Guanajuato pronounced
Whan-a-wha-to). The town Of that
name, where the catacombs are sit
uated, Is one Of the most quaint
and fascinating In that grotesque coun-
try. 1t lies within a days journey Of
the City of Mexico, with railroad COM
munication. The churches and paint
ings Of this city have made It world.
famous. but the most peculiar Of its
attractions Is found in its catacombs,
or mummy chambers.
On the hillside overlooking the city
Is the Home of the Dead. which an
swers the purpose of a graveyard and
yet is not the same as one In the COM
mon acceptance Of that term. 1t Is q
veritable Pantheon. or House of Bur-
ial. In its thick walls the tombs
are arranged. tier upon tier. of identi-
cal size. like so many numbered pigeon
holes. Wrapped up like mummies the
bodies Of the dead are here placed,
each in its little recess. and they are
registered in a book according to the
number thereon. To insure care Of
the dead a certain fee is expected year
ly, and If 1t should not be forthcom-
ing after a period of five years, the
bones are taken from their pigeon
holes and thrown in a heap in the cata-
comb below with countless other flesh
less bones and skulls. Another body
Is then placed in the recess and the
process Of eviction is in time repeated.
This treatment of the dead would,
of course, be impossible in n moist eli
mate. In Mexico at that high eleva-
ton the air is as dry as an oven. and
as 1t has rare aseptic qualities, the
ly crumbles to dust, giving out no odor
Of decay or faint to the air. Not al
ways. however, for now and then a ten
ant does not dissolve into his original
elements. The dryness Of the atmos-
phere simply mummifes him. and his
perishable clay puts on the appearance
Of immortal sge In such q case the
body is saved from the pile Of bones
and taken through a trap door down a
spiral staircase to the grim corridor
beneath, where 1t Is placed with a girls
ly army Of other mummies, there
to lean up against the wall while
awaiting the blowing of the last trum-
pet call. 1t Is a ghoulish company,
yet many visitors go up the hill t,
have a look at a scene so strange and
unusual.
