WAR TAX ON COFFEE,
SUGAR, TEA, COCOA
Senate Finance Committee De.
cides to Raise Eighty Mil
lion Dollars from These
Products.

Washington, May 3l.--The senate
finance committee today decided to
provide In the war tax bill to raise
$S0,0o0,000 by consumptions taxes Of
Q cents a pound on coffee, S cents on
tea, Y cent on sugar and cents on
cocoa.
Another important change agreed
upon was the elimination Of the pres
ent tax of 12A per cent tax on war
munitions, now raising $25,000.OO0.
Substitutes for tea and coffee also
will be taxed. 70. J. s. ~
From the new taxes the committee
estimates the following revenue bill
Sugar, ssO,ooo,ooo; coffee, sls,Ooo,.
900; tea, $4,000 900, and cocoa, $780,
600. Coffee and tea taxes will be
levied upon imports. Arrangements
are being made to take care Of i'm
port contracts made before May !, by
requiring purchasers from importers,
lHStSdu Vi tHc ldttcI, 10 pay Tue taxes,
Under the house bill it was proposed
to tax coffee l cent a pound and tea
2 cents. 80.
The decision to abolish the present
special tax of 12H per cent on war
munitions was said to be due to two
reasons-diminisfing OF the tax and
of increased excess profits
on all corporations which will reach
the munitions makers. While this
years revenue from the munitions tax
was estimated to yield SIS, 100000
treasury experts told the committee
it would be much smaller next year. |
Another provision adopted today by
the committee would exempt from
taxation alcohol reclaimed by refining
beer and reducing lis alcohol content

such alcohol becomes denatured for

BRITISH LOSSES In
MAY 1928 MEN
Nearly Six Thousand Officers
Killed and Wounded Along
Arras Front During
the Month.
London. May 3l.--British casualties,
rs published in May, show total OF
5,002 officers and l06,33l men

The British offensive on the Arras
front, involving some OF the severest
fighting of the war naturally has re-
suited in large increase in casualties
over the inactive winter season. Cas-
lalties for the last few months have
not been received, but in February
.hc total reported was only l,245 off,
:ers and l7,l8s men.
The assertion OF the British that
their losses are so per cent smaller
than in the battle OF the Somme, not
withstanding the fact that larger
forces are engaged, is not borne out
by the May figures, although in the
absence OF the casualties report for
April, early in which month the Of
fcnsive was launched, the showing is
not conclusive. ,
The casualties recorded in the first
three months OF the Somme drive
were 307.l6 officers and men. In Au.
gust Of last year, the second month
OF the Somme battle, the casualties
were l27,945, as compared with ll2,-
233 for May, the second month of the
Arras battle.

IN MURDER MYSTERY
Lawyers in Triple Killing Suit
Describe Fourth Man Who
Shot Victims From
Ambush.

Lawyers made their final argu.
ments yesterday in the $4,000 dam
age suit arising out of the sensation
al Rapp-Schroeder murder that
shocked Omaha three years ago.
A. S. Richie, chief counsel for the
defendants, Peter Moscrey, former
saloon keeper at 1902 South Twen-
tieth street, and his bondsmen, insist
ed that the triple killing was the work
OF a professional gunman who fired
upon his victims from ambush.

to justice" "Apache-like gunman.
with the blood OF three men on his
hands," and "devilish fiend uncaught,'
were few Of the phrases applied to
the word-sketehed murderer by the
saloon keepers counsel.
Mrs. Marguerite Rapp, wi1nw Of
one of the slain man, is plaintiff in
the case.
Additional evidence purporting to
show that the murder was committed
by fourth person was introduced

Mrs. Rapp is suing on behalf Of
herself and her four young daughters
alleging that liquor purchased in
Moscrey's place on the night Of the
murder, July IA, 1914, caused the

their way home and to become bois.
ferrous, noisy, careless, reckless and
quarrelsome.

Peter-and William Rapp, were shot

Of the white feather" type, between
the ages Of 81 and 81, who may in
tentionally forget that June is reg
istration day.
The law excerpts no one within the
prescribed age limits. Rich and poor,
sick and well, fat and lean, citizens
and aliens, patriots and pacihsts-all
must register their names June S for
selective army conscription.
Drastic" is mild term for the
law governing punishment of con-
scription slackers. And worse than
the law is the moral disgrace.
CONSUMPTION is honorable, evasion is
dishonorable in the extreme. regis
tration officials point out, and worse
than that--dangerous.
Slackers Despised.
In England men of eligible age who
attempt to evade military service are
ridiculed and despised. Patriotic
young women pin white feathers on
them-and then the authorities step
in, not to modest the young women,
but to take charge of the slackers.
The day after registration-June 5
transcription officials, assisted by
the city, county, state and federal au-
thorities, will begin rounding up
slackers.

ers," said Election Commissioner
Moorhead, "but people may be sure
we'll corral what there are and make
it tough for them"
Round Up the Holdouts.
Registration officials have received
orders to prepare voters lists in trip
licate within three days after June
S. 1t is predicted that by week after
registration day the authorities will
have line on all young men in Doug
las county between the ages of q
and 81 who have failed to register.
The election commissioner has re-
ceived additional instruction from
Washington which should be OF par
ticular interest to men who will be
out OF the city on registration day.
These instructions advise Mr.. Moor
head that travelling men, telephone
men and others who may be else
where on June 5 can fill in cards and
leave them at the court house.

persons have registered so far. The
