WAR BILL CONFEREES
FAR APART AS EVER

we are just as far apart as ever"
said Claude Kitchin as he left the
conference on the $3.50. 900 200. war
revenue bill yesterday. Mr. Kitchin
Is the chairman OF the House Ways
and Means Committee and DEM
ocratic leader of the House.
1t was said that House members
could not accept a compromise section
dealing with war excess profits. This
clause drafted by experts from the
Treasury Department contained nine
sections. 1t was understood that the
fiat per cent exemption from taxa
ton upon which the House conferees
had insisted was included.
Last night conferees were as silent
as ever about what went on behind
their closed doors. There is an idea
however, that a report upon the bill
may be brought in by Wednesday.

new Law MAY
OUTLAW PRESS
Senators Declare Legislation
Gives Burleson Arbitrary
Power of Newspapers.

What some Senators construe as
a law by which Postmaster General
Burleson may put newspapers out Of
business at his will was passed by the
Senate yesterday afternoon. The vote
was 4s to 6. Cummins. OF Iowa:
France, of MARYLAND; johnson. of
California: Kirby, of Arkansas:
Norris. of Nebraska. and Waston. Of
Indiana. voted in the negative.
The law Is a section the trading
with-the-enemy bill. 1t provides that
any publication which is declared
nonmailable under the espionage act
can be barred from AMI other node
of transportation or circulation.
This section vas framed in an at
tempt to strike at the pro-German
press. But Senators declared IL went
much further Norris said 1t was
desperate attempt" 10 put the news
paper out of business. Cummins said
1t was vicious"
The section has yet TO be passed on
by the House.
The chief point made by Senators
opposing the section was that the
Postmaster General decided what
should be nonmailable. and this sec
tion then hinged upon that decision.
Appeal from his decision was difficult,
they said. and might result in
absolute destruction to the publisher.
This section may make an in
nocent man a criminal" said Sena-
tor Cummins. surely you would not
execute a criminal before his trial?
Yet there is no chance for a trial

something unpleasant about the ad-
ministration, said Senator Norris,
land the Postmaster General could
| suppress the publication. And the
proprietor might have no intention Of
doing anything wrong"
| Objections TO Bill.
Objection was made to the section
by Vardaman, of Mississippi Hessaid
| that the Postmaster General had al
ready been made censor BY statute
under the espionage act, TO which
he had also objected. Poindexter, of
Washington, who spoke for the Sec
ton. said:
81 do not doubt that funds 10 pay
for distribution OF disloyal literature
has come from German sources, prob
ably from the German government"
THE whole question is said Sen
ator Cummins, who is 10 determine
whether the publications are trea-
sonable and sedtious. The effort in
this section is TO prevent a trial,
don't want to make an innocent
man a criminal before trial An in

issue would be made in the courts"
