SENATE PASSES
MOTOR TAX BILL
AFTER WORDY ROW
Prendergast's Telegram About
"Mountebanks" Rouses Ire
of Senator Thompson.

ALBANY, ia. 3o.--The Senate to-
day. after a long debate. passed the
Hewitt bill imposing a special tax
on auto buses and auto cars. The
vote was % to IL, Senators Arget-
singer. Mullen and Towner. Repub-
licans. voting with the Democrats
against tho bill and Senator Sheridan,
Democrat. voting with the Repub-
licans In favor of the measure.
The bill will come up for passage
in the Assembly tomorrow, and the
new tax will bc imposed Feb. l. II
the bill becomes a law. II L. esti-
mated the additional tax will amount
to from 100000 to $1,000, 900 a year.
In bringing up the bill Senator
Elon II. Brown, the majority leader,
explained that immediate passage
was desirable in order that legal un-
certalntles might be avoided and that
the new schedule might become ef-
fective Feb. 1.
Senator Argetsinger contended that
the bill did not specify that the license
revenues were to be used for high
way maintenance and that the mu-
inequalities and the State were to di-
vide the receipts equally. He declared
that the proposed tax was merely a
levy on prosperity.
Senator Brown declared that the
measure was sufficiently explicit as to
its highway maintenance provisions,
and that II provided for the even dis
tribution OF license receipts between
the communities In which the vehicles
were owned and the State.
In the course OF the debate Senator
Burllngame aroused the ire of Senator
Brown and Senator Ogden Mills OF
New York by quoting from telegram
from Comptroller Prendcrgast OF the
city OF New York. in which the term
"mountebanks' was used as descrip-
tive OF certain Senators.
Senator Thompson remarked that
he had every reason TO believe that
this expression was directed specific
ally at him and he announced that to-
morrow. under personal privilege. he
would pay his respects to the Comp
troller and one other official OF the

FOOD FOR GERMANY

Supply Scantier Than Before,
Director Admits-All Balk
at Standard Bread.

BERLIN, Jan. 80 (via London).-
Germany undoubtedly will be able to
hold out until tho next harvest if the
supplies OF food are husbanded and
distributed carefully. although the
stocks OF provisions this year are
scantier than in tho two previous
years OF the war. said Adolph Won
Batocki. President of the Food Regu-
iation Board, in an address yesterday
which was prompted by the present
troubles in food distribution.
Reckoning Ave pounds of potatoes
az equal In food value TO one pound
of grain, Herr Won Batocki figured tho
total supply available for man and
boast az equivalent to 100000 tons OF
grain less than last year. since the
Increase OF 1000. 900 tons in the grain
harvest Is more than counterbalanced
by the decrease in the potato crop.
amounting 10 100000 tons.
The ffootdstufrs captured in Rou-
mania furnish n welcome and valu-
able addition. Herr Won Batocki said.
ouN OVtHh W
will be available only gradually.
The problem Of food supply II now
being brought home to residents OF
Berlin in the most direct manner by
the discussions regarding the intro
duction Of a standard bread. The
proposed abolition OF wheaton rolls
ana the issue OF uniform loves OF
mixed rye and wheat are objection
able both TO the upper classes. which
prefer tho tastier rolls and to the
working population. which will have
to pay more for the mixed loaf than
for the present rye bread.
However. the authorities declare the
change is inevitable in order TO OBJ
tain the maximum amount of bread
from a given quantity OF flour. Other
wiso the weekly bread ration would
have to be reduced.
The bread problem also has been
accentuated recently by the severe
winter conditions. which not only
have crippled the transportation SER
vice but have prevented farmers from
opening potato cellars and exposing
their potatoes to the risk Of freezing
In transit.
These conditions. coupled with the
trouble OF obtaining bread on bread
cards and the shortage Of the meat
supply, have caused many well-to-
do persons to take advantage OF the
municipal soup Kitchens. where a
nourishing and appetlzing ration Is
obtainable. Among these persons are
members Of number Of American
families Who are not influenced by
financial considerations.

Alleges Conspiracy to Control Trade
Costs Grain Growers
s2S.OOO.OOO a Year.

The Government to-day filed q suit
in the Federal Court here against the
Pan-American Commission Corpora
tion. Sol yvexler and others.
The Government charges conspiracy
under the antitrust laws to restrain
Interstate and foreign trade In sisal
grass and to increase the market price
OF sisal throughout the United states.
Papers filed by Government attog-
neys allcge that the cost of harvesting
I'm the United states has been In
creased s25.O00,000 annually by the
alleged combination.
The Governments complaint explains
that without sisal, for which there IL
no efficient substitute. the successful
harvesting Of cereal crops in this coun-
try on the present scale OF production
would be impossible
