SECOND CLASS MAIL
RATES UNCHANGED
Senate Finance Committee Adopts
Resolution Against Increasing Postal
Rates and Directing Two Per Cont
Advertising Tax.

Washington. June AFTER several
hours discussion Of how newspapers,
magazines and other publications shall
be taxed for war purposes, the senate
finance committee today adopted a
resolution against increasing second
class postal rates and directing direct
per cent tax on advertising receipts.
The provision Is tentative.
Only one member OF the committee
voted against the resolution. Chairman
Simmons announced that the vote was
merely to gain concrete expression OF
the committee sentiment, and Is open
to further consideration. Other sena-
tors. however, stated that with such an
overwhelming vote 1t was believed that
the per cent advertising tax would
be determined upon.
Representatives Of publishers, at
conferences with the committee, op-
posed postage increases.
The revised bill probably will he
ready for presentation by Friday. 1t
In expected that the bill will provide
for an authorization OF $Loo0,oooooo
bond issue for the frst year Of the war
in addition to the $1,000. 900, 900 revenue
provided in the bill. Most Of the new
bonds probably would be short term
Issues.
In voting on tho advertising tax
question the committee considered but
postponed a decision upon exempting
newspapers and publications whose an
nual advertising receipts are less than
$4,000.

Petrograd. June 4.-Sailors from the
Kronstadt garrison, which recently de-
clared It's independence of the central
government, arrived in Petrograd early
this morning with the announcement
that warships at Kronstadt would come
to Petrograd Immediately and land men
to make demonstrations.
Later 1t was reported that sailors
had attacked Gutuyeff Islands, port OF
Petrograd but this proved untrue.
However it was sufficiently alarming
to provoke intense excitement in the
city and cause the dispatch to the spot
Of military force.
Petrograd waited today FOR the
threatened demonstration and as the
time passed with no such incident the
threats Of the sailors came to be re-
garded merely aA boastful talk by ex-
tremists.
The Kronstadt sailors saad the dam
onstrations would bs for the purpose

On visiting the Gutuyeff quarters the
correspondent found that vast fire
had been burning for some time hav-
ing been partly extinguished A large
quantity of sulphur was on fire. There
were signs of violent explosion.
1t appears that at 9 o'clock this
morning the ice breaker Oranien baum,
instead of the Kronstadt warships. ar
rived off Gutuyeff. It-~was flying the
red flag. On it were sailors and work
men who were singing the hymn Of the
Bolsheviki extremists. The Ice break

took on board party of Petrograd
workmen and departed. At the same
time seven large cases Of phosphorus
on the wharf ignited. The fire extend
ed to a quantity Of salts, causing a
violent explosion, after which the
stores Of sulphur caught fire. No one
was injured and stores nearby were
undamaged except for the loss of glass.
The conf1agration apparently was
caused either by incendiaries from
quarters other than Kronstadt or. as
official investigators suggest, by spon-
taneous combustion.

reached the outskirts of Monchy they
were stopped by the headquarters stan
of the Newfoundland regiment. led by

Germans were compelled to fall back.
The general urged that the regiment

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.
The food control bill is now 4
law. Even as President Wilson
was affixing his signature this aft
ernoon the federal trade commits
sion laid before Herbert Hoover
evidence of an alleged attempt to
corner the output of California to-
mato canneries.
1t was one of the first results
of the commissions investigation
into food prices. Hope of nearly
$10,000,000 excess profits on army
contracts was said to be back of
efforts to buy up the California
pack.
President Wilson and Hoover
will confer this afternoon over en-
forcement of the food control bill.
Food control thruout the coun-
try probably will be ordered late
today. Hoover has placed before
the president the names of men he
desired placed at the head of the
different state organizations.
With the presidents approval
of these, Hoover will be given full
authority to go ahead.
Meanwhile reports to the agri-
culture department sho wtremend-
Gus increases in the amounts of
