AMERICANS DRINKING
AND SMOKING MORE
Women Partially Responsible
for Increase in Cigarettes

Washington. Jan. 2s.--The amount
of whiskey consumed by the American
people in 1916 apparently was greater
than since 1909. according 20 the tax
returns, and the revenue collected on
whiSkey, beer and cigarettes was the
greatest on record.
While returns show that the ten
dency toward prohibition has not low
cred the governments revenue from
whiskey. officials believe portion IF
the increase nearly S24,Oo0,OOO more
than l915-is attributable TO the fact
that the government is at present col
elcting taxes on all the whiskey pro-
duced in the country, whereas, because
of extensive frauds, such was not the
case a few years ago.
Consumption of cigarettes in 1916
reached the highest mark ever re-
corded The tremendous increase
more than 40 per cent over 19l5-is
attributed to two main causes: In
creased prosperity Of the country and
growth Of the cigarette habit among
women. Many millions of cigarettes
made for feminine users were pro-
duced in this country and imported
during the last year, where as few
years ago production and Importation
of such cigarettes were negligible.

PRESIDENT CONFERS
WITH SENATE CHIEFS

Washington. Jan. "a
Five Democratic leaders of
the Senate had a long COZ
ference with President Viii
son tonight at the White
House. Afterward all Of
them refused to talk. They
were Chairman Stone and
Senators Pomerenc and
Salisbury. Of the Foreign
Relations Committee. and
Senators Walsh and Hoke
Smith.
The President is much in
terested in the efforts to force
an open debate on his peace
address. and some believed
that it was in this connection
that the Senators were called
to the White House. There
have been suggestions that
to prevent interference with
legislation the Administra-
ton might favor either fixing
a limited time for the debate
now or an agreement to post
pone it until the extra session
after March 4.
1t is understood that no at
tempt was made to agree
upon any plan of action.
The legislative programme
was talked over. and the
President is said to have
urged the importance of
passing water power legIsla-
ton.

DANIELS LOSES
BRITISH SHELLS
England Bars Had
fields from Taking
u. S. Contract
IFrnm The Tnbuna Bureau. ]

Washington, Jan. 24.-Dismay over
came the Navy Department to-day when
il was learned that Hadfelds, Limited,
of Sheffield, England, had been pre-
vented by the British government from
delivering shells to the United States
Navy $50 long as the exigencies Of war
continue"
Secretary Daniels had announced only
last week that he had decided 70 award
TO the British firm Sl.300,000 contract
for shells. Further, Mr.. Daniels had
issued public statement attacking the
American steel companies, and par
ticularly Charles NJ. Schwab, alleging
that they were unpatriotic.
The British governments announce
ment came as shock, because the
Navy Department supposed Hadhelds
had obtained official permission TO en-
ter its bid.
II was discovered that no certified
check accompanied the Hadfelds bid as
a guarantee. Mr.. Daniels noted :hls
fact in announcing his award of the
contract TO Hadfelds, but said conf
IDENTIFY that the check would be forth
coming without delay.
AS matters stand now, Mr.. Daniels
must accept the product of the Ameri-
can firms, including Mr.. Schwab's Beth
lehem company, or go without shells
He said in his bitter statement few
DAYS ago that the American shells were
far inferior 70 the Hadhelds samples
and called attention 10 the fact that an
order placed with the Bethlehem COM
pany more than two years ago had not
vet heen delivered
The Midvale Steel Company, which
Mr.. Daniels said was the most ener-
getic and progressive Of the American
companies and had scored record of
about 75 per cent on its samples, Is
the highest bidder on the contracts in
question. Its bid on 16-inch shells Is
nearly twice that of Hadields and is
S125 a she'll higher than Bethlehem's.
According to Mr.. Daniels, the Bethle-
hem sample shells passed with a grade
of less than A per cent.
Mr.. Daniels has had an open feud
with the Bethlehem Steel Company for
years. but u grew particularly intense
during the debate on the srmor plate

'BLUESKY' LAW
URGED KAHN
Wants Lambs Protect
ed by Getting Truth
About Stocks

Protection of the Wall Street lamb
through the operation of an "anti-
fleece" law is Otto II. Kahn's proposed
solution of the greatest objection to
stock speculation. He offered it for
the consideration of his colleagues in
the Stock Exchange at dinner of the
Stock Exchange Partners Association
at the Hotel Astor last night
Just as the user of nostrums is pro-
tected from fraud and poison by the
Pure Food and Drug act, so would Mr.
Kahn save the uninformed speculator
from the wiles Of INSCRIPTIONS brok-
ers by similar measure dealing with
securities. AS a member of the firm
of Kuhn, Loeb e. Co.. and one of the
/ foremost financiers in America, his
suggestion was accepted by some of his
hearers as one that might be carried
into execution in the near future.
Prospectus Plan Urged
The proposed "anti-Aeece" law would
make it illegal to sell any industrial
security unless accompanied by pro-
spectus setting forth every detail Of
the company's affairs, this document to
bear the signatures Of the persons to
be held responsible by law for any
wlful misstatement or omission.
Like the Kansas blue sky law" this
bill would make impossible the opera
tions of promoters whose promises are
"as limitelss as the blue sky and about
as tangible. 1t would prevent the ft-
ting up of luxurious Offices and print
ing of gold embossed stock for COM
panies that have no other valuables
than Office furniture and pretty stock
certificates.
That Mr. Kahn intended it for the
ears of national legislators was shown
by the manner in which it was made.
He preceded the suggestion by a ref
erence to his recent trip to Washing
ton when, as a witness before the Con-
gressional committee investigating the
Wall Street leak. ne was Cdlleu 10 Ieii
something of the workings Of the Stock
Exchange.
Tells OF Washington Visit
He paid his respects 20 those who
had mentioned his name in this con-
nection with these words:
"A couple of weeks ago ! went to
Washington 70 contradict, under the
solemn obligation Of nay oath, gross
and wanton calumny which, based upon
nothing but anonymous and lrrespon-
sible gossip, had been uttered regard
ing my name"
Mr.. Kahn said that he pictured the
probable questions and answers that
would follow his appearance on the
witness stand. resulting in "phan-
tom" series Of questions and answers,
which he proceeded to read 70 the
diners. His proposal to protect unin-
formed spectators came in response
to this imaginary question from a
hypothetical cross-eXaminer:

Baron Davenport, the food controller,
