Senate Finance Committee
 Has Hard Work to Redraft
 Bill to Raise War Revenue

Washington. June 5.-Demands from business interests for eleventh hour changes are making the Senate finance committees task of redrafting the House war tax bill increasingly difficult as the work hears close.
 The committee plans to complete the bill by Friday. Work went forward to- day while both houses of Congress were in recess observing Registration Day. and liquor and tobacco taxes finally were disposed of.
 Revenues of s151, 900 from liquors, in- cluding beer, and about $ss, 900 from from tobacco products estimated from the House rates are expected to show but slight reduction by the commit tees revision, despite it's decision to place prohibitive taxes upon grain used in distilling whisky and other spirits Doubled taxes on beer were not changed.
 Taxation of newspapers, magazines, and other publications was reopened today when several members of the committee burg newspaper publishers, headed by former Senator Oliver, who urged adop- ton of the House zone plan, providing for increase of secoiid- class postage rates. The committee took under advise- ment the arguments made by the Pitts- burg publishers against the proposed sub stitute tax of per cent upon publishers advertising receipts. The Pittsburg rep resentatives preferred the zone system postage increase, condemned at previous hearings by representatives of the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers association and other representatives of many classes of publications

Chattanooga, June 1.-The railroad of ficials here are investigating the report that an attempt was made to wreck the train on which Gen.

 The obstruction was a piece of sawed lumber 12x12 inches, and four feet long.

As stated. Friday and Saturday will be spent looking over Tennessee company properties, and if the members of the committee are favorably impressed with what President Crawford has done in the district it is believed that It will mean big things for the Birmingham district.
 RESPECT WISHES OF VISITORS Because of the fact th&e notgthe slight est intimation has reached the ears of the general public in Birmingham regard ing the visit no entertainment plans have been made. It is felt, however, that Bir- ningham will respect the wishes of the members of the executive committee ab- solutely. The civic bodies and others will feel that they will be glad to show the visitors whatever attentions their busy schedule will permit.
 It is felt, however, that inasmuch as Secretary W. G. McAdoo of President wilson's cabinet and Gov. w. P. G. Hard ing of the federal reserve board. will be here Saturday some sort of joint enter tainment might be arranged in which all the citys distinguished visitors of that day would participate as guests of honor.

Upon this point, however, the peo- ] pie of Birmingham feel serene conf dence, for thsyRlants, mines and other he developments of the Tennessee com pany, under President Crawford's di- rection, are regarded as models of their kind, all in the highest state of efficiency.
 The committees movements prob ably have not been given out, due to the fact that officials of the Steel corporation at a time when it is so largely engaged in government busi- ness are upon basis similar to army and navy officers whose movements it is thought best to guard carefully in time of war.
 TRAVEL IN SPECIAL TRAIN
 It is understood that the party will travel in special train and will arrive in Birmingham sometime Thursday after noon or early Thursday evening. It is further understood that reservations have been engaged for them at the Tutwiler hotel. though nothing definite was vouchsafed on that point.
