WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Amuse- ment parks the main gates, shows ana rides" where charges are 20 cents or less, were added by the senate today to the list of exemptions from the amuse- ment tax section of the war revenue bill More than 800 open air parks in cities throughout the country are at- fected.
 The amendment also strikes out provision levying a five cent tax on each free admission to amusements which would have reached resorts who open their gates to Women and children during certain hours of the day, and in all reduces the total levy of the bill by about S3,000,000. An exemption for moving picture shows charging 20 cents or less already had been adopted.
 Passage of the $2,500, ,00O.0 GOO tax bill is set for next Monday by unanimous agreement.

That brass knckles were employed by his assailants and that they were young MeXicans, was the statement made by Gates to the police, when the officers who were summoned hurriedly, took him to the police station to ascertain the extent of his injuries.
 Gates had arrived in Phoenix from his run on the Ash Fork division but a short time before. His duties finished, he was making his way to the Santa Fe hotel, where he rooms when in this city. As he passed Sixth avenue and was only one block from his hotel, he saw two men emerge from the shadows and approach him. Before he had time to determine their purpose they had set upon him. He believes that one had a gun, or that at least he carried something that resembled a gun.
 As soon as the alarm had been given a force of officers hurried to the scene and after learning the description of the assailants of the railroad man undertook a systematic search of the lower end of the city. Up to an early hour this morning they had not located the highway men

The Italians are taking advantage of the calm to re- arrange their positions.
 Meanwhile the fighting is becoming more intense in the Gorizia section around San Gabrielle and San Daniele mountains and along the western ridge of the Chiapovano valley, where the pressure of the second Italian army is becoming stronger

LAW NECLECTS THE
 INTERESTS OF MEN CALLED ID COL0RS

How the business interests of the drafted men will be protected dur ing their absence is question of immediate and serious concern to thousands of persons right now. In the article which follows, Robert Netter, a New York attorney, dis cusses in the New York Tribune the injustices to which drafted men are liable to be exposed because of the inadeQuacy of the existing laws un- less some steps are taken to safe guard their interests:
 Among the most important of the questions about to confront our courts as a direct result of the selec- tive draft law is the effect upon a lease whether of business CT resi< dential property, where the lessee has been drafted into the army. At the present writing there has been no legislation to cover this pont. Does the drafting of the lessee term mate the lease at the option of the lessee? Or does it suspend the lease for the period that the lessee is in the army? If the latter, is the land lord at liberty to lease the premises to other parties during this suspen- sion? And if so, does the drafted lessee again become entitled to the premises upon his return from ser vice?
 Of course the most imporant phase of this particular subject is the question whether or not the drafted lessee remains liable to pay rent un- der his lease. Unless the situation is altered by legislation, I should certainly say that this obligation continues I know of no rule of law under which it would cease. Of course there is a theory upon which a lessee might defend an action for rent, and I daresay that many draft ed lessees will endeaVor to avail themselves of it. The law has all ways laid down that where the con

 With greater crops than ever before in the state with d greater degree of general prosperity than the state has heretofore enjoyed for a number of years, and with special responsibility to the nation in the development of it's resources as well as the natural incen- tlVes for doing so, the 1917 fair should prove more stupend0us success than any exposition that has gone before it, and all have been marvels of progress and achievement.
