ATTACK ON WAR TAX
BILL IN CONGRESS
Violent Protests Made Against
Many Features of Measure
in Both Houses at
Washington.

Washington, May l2.-While thu
house debated the S0O000,000 wal
tax bill today, the senate finance com
mittee heard violent protests from in
terests on which the new war levie:
would fall.
Manufacturers, who would have t.
pay the increased excess profit tax
distillers, brewers, soda fountain in
terests and tobacco companies, all
told the senate committee that they
faced ruin if the bill went through al
presented in the house. Nearly every
witness declared his particular bust
ness seemed to be the target for al
eXorbitant tax.
Under Fire In House.
In the house, too, many portions
OF the bill were under fire, but demo
cratic and republican leaders in
charge replied that the money must
be raised and only high taxes could
provide it.
Only the excess profits, liquor, beer,
soft drinks and tobacco schedules
we're considered today by the senate
committee, which opened hearings be-
fore the measure came over from the
house in order to hasten final con-
gressional action.
Representative Hull OF Iowa OPP
posed the rates for magazines and
newspapers and challenged statements
that the government now is losing
millions annually on this class OF
business.
Representative Bland Of Indiana
told the house that the Postoffice de-
partment had worked out an amend
ment to provide that no salaries OF
postmasters be increased during the
war.
Paint Gloomy View.
1t was a gloomy picture that pro-
testants against the war tax in
creases painted for the senate COM
mittee. Disorganization of industries,
closed factories, discharged employees,
reduced prices to producer. and
destruction of retailers, were among
the predictions.
Representatives of national manu-
facturers and industrial organizations
declared the excess profits was dis
criminatory against corporations. The
whole tax load also was criticised as
too large, and the suggestion was
made that the tax burden be dis
tributed over several decades.
The greatly increased tax on dis
titled liquors, the committee was told
would decrease production and reve-
nues, as well as encourage Illicit
traffic. The brewery interests said
many small breweries would be forced
to close.
Cigar Men Object.
Protesting against the rates on soft
drinks and ingredients, manufactur-
ers' representatives said the increased
burden cannot be passed on the con-
sumer and that soda fountain, drug
store, and other small business men
would be crippled.
The bills rates were said by rep
resentatives of manufacturers and Or
ganized cigar makers to be grossly
excessive and certain to cause sus-
pension of small manufacturer, de-
crease consumption, and so reduce
revenue.

Ell Paso, March l7.-GeI.. Francisco
Murguia the commander of the de fac
to forces of the north, suffered his first
important defeat in his campaign near
the Chihuahua Durango line at Las
Moves ranch against Villa, late last
week. This fact was established to-
day after the receipt of many uncon-
firmed reports and rumors and after
Villa propaganda stories have been
circulated here, magnifying Villas
victory into a slaughter Of the Car
rama troops. 1t was admitted in
Juarez today that Villa had been sue
cessful against Murgia's troops south
of Parral and it was admitted that
Villa temporarily held Parral, Magis-
trail and possibly Jimenez and Santa
Rosalia.
General Murguia lost approximate

missing at the battle of Rosario, ac-
