WAR IAX PUTS BAN
 ()N| b()QZZEE|: 1:
[RepubIcan A. p. leased Wire]


 WASHINGTON June 4.-Prohibi ton legislation was approved by the senate finance committee today as a new feature of the war tax bill
 Prohibitive taxes upon distillation of whiskey and other spirits for beY- craze purposes with ban upon their importation were agreed upon by substantial majority of the committee. IaXes fixed by the house on beer and wines were left unchanged though they have not yet been finally approved
 General suspension of beverage pro- duction by distilleries and use of liquor now in bonded warehouses probably would be the effect of the new tax section if enacted into law.
 Curtailment of liquor consumption during the war and conservation of foodstuffs used in manufacturing dis titled spirits, Chairman Simmons said tonight, constituted the dual object of the committee in adopting the substi tutes for the house rates. Manufacture of alcohol for industrial. mechanical or medicinal purposes would not be affected.
 In addition to the present tax of s2.20 a gallon on liquor, a tax of $20 bushel (from S to S9 a gallon) upon all grain. cereal or other foodstuffs, used in manufacturing whiskey or other distilled spirits for use as bev- erages was written into the bill Sena tor Simmons said the increase would be prohibitive upon manufacture while the law is in effect or during the war
 Increased taxes of $5 per gallon upon molasses, syrups and substitutes used in distillation for beverage pur- poses also was agreed upon. Permits for exportation would be given only for war purposes upon application by a nation at war with Germany.
 As supplementary legislation the committee further approved an amend Inent prohibiting importation into this fCcntinued on Page TMnN

Here enters Peake. He heard of
Harding's trip. He thought 1t might
hurt the business, He decided to use
the trip as a means or getting HaF-
ding to sell out. Peake was friend
of Kane and Mccormick. Radon,
who figures as merely minor char
aeter, was a pal of Harding and
friendly to Fowler. Peake also
wished to get rid of Radon.
In a roundabout way complaint
was made to federal and police au-
thorities of the relations of Virginia
with Fowler and Harding. Kane
asked for the case. They were seen
in daily conference with Peake. They
never reported on the case to the de-
'tective bureau. Kane managed to get
possession of receipt given Fowler
by Virginia. This is said to have
been handed Peake as his weapon to
use on Harding and Radon to force a

deringly sudden adjustment of a series
of tangles.
Capt. Kidd Jr." is the story of an
old bookshop proprietor, his youthful
granddaughter, who forms the "Com-
pany" in the appelation of the firm
and young man, sort of ward Of
the old man, who comes into posses
sion of an old book which describes
vaguely, though sufficiently to fire the
imagination of the youthful couple the
hiding place of treasure on Cape Cod.
The young people in their enthusiasm
encourage the old man to join with
them in the search and to migrate to
Cape Cod, pursued by others, whom
they suspect of searching for the same
treasure. The complications that en-
sue are many and varied. Just how
the search turns out is left for the
audience to guess for it is Cohan and
Harris policy always to keep secret
the real climaXes until the play has
been acted on the stage, thereby saw

There's something about the an
nouncement of Cohan and Harris at
traction that makes all realize it is
worth while. Probably this is due to
the policy of this firm giving the pub
lie honest merchandise in other years;
at any rate the same standard enthus-
iasm always manifest over the COM
ing of a Cohan and Harris play is be-
ing extended "Capt. Kidd, Jr.," which

"Capt. Kidd Jr.' is a comedy of
optimism which, like virtue, has its
own reward. According to critics
who have already passed on it, Capt
Kidd Jr." is wholesome, brightly
written and altogether amusing play.
While the action of the piece is
farcical at times. there is an utter
absence of burlesque and broad humoor.
The story is so skillfully told that the
element of suspense remains until the
finish, and the climax is not bewil-

THE SALARY BILL.
Editor Times:

Editor Times:
l see from the Times that notice
has been given by our representative,
Hon. Rue Porter, to the taxpayers and
voters of Boone county that he will
introduce a bill to regulate the fees
and salaries of our county officials,
and from experience | am confident
it is to regulate UP.
His giving thirty days notice of the
introducing of this special bill is a
good law to guard the interests of the
taxpayer and l hope our representa-
tive will wait for an expression of
our wishes.
Special legislation is very dangerous
to the taxpayer, as no member takes
an interest in such bills except the
representative introducing the bill
Now don't wait until the bill is acted
upon.
This is a business proposition and
let us consider it as such.
AS a taxpayer | am decidedly op'
posed to such a measure and | will
give my reasons for my opposition.
In the first place each one of our
officials knew when elected just what
they were to receive for the service
to be rendered and worked hard for
the job. Now, in justice to the tax.
payers, would 1t be right to take the
benefit of special legislation in which
the employe is the only one to be
benefited, and the employer, the tax
payer, must foot the bill?
The taxpayer has learned by sad
experience if'he gets justice he must
contend for it in legal way
Now taxpayers, write our Hon. Rue

The Chicken Law.

Many inquiries as to operation of
the chicken law are being received
and for the information of the public
the following information is published:
Between March 1st and November
1st it will be unlawful to allow chick
ems or any other domestic fowl to
stray off your own premises. The
penalty is seizure of fowl under %
cents pound fee or arrest of party per
mitting fowls at large under penalty
of from one to ten dollars, and costs,
or both. The same penalty as to arrest
for violating any Of the stock ordi
nances, is in force, and any person
who turns his live stock loose upon
his neighbors is subject to arrest and
fine-even tho the poundmaster may
not catch his stock. Complaint Of
trespass by fowls, or other live stock,
is sufficient for the issuance OF war
rant against owner for permitting such
live stock at large.

JUDGE TILLMAN AND
THE COTTON BILL. TAX,

A large assemblage Of Manassas and
Prince William people, as we'll as
many from some of the adjoining
counties were present at the celebra-
tion of the 10th birthday of General
Robert +. Lee, at the court house here
on Friday, January 18th. Hon. John
n. Tillman, NJ. c., OF Arkansas, was
the principal speaker of the occasion.
Congressman Tillman was accompa-
MED by his wife.
Judge Tillman was introduced by
Judge Hutchinson as the gifted son
of Arkansas, a man who travels; in
his travels goes upward, accomplish
ing great things. He was at one time
president of the University of Arkan.

Judge Tillman is a native sOutherner,
whose parents gave their service to
the south, In the course of his splen-
did speech he captivated the audience
and fearlessly spoke the truth with.
out malice or harshness. He said he
! had many things to be thankful for
and was proud of his southern herit-
age, proud that he was an American
citizen, proud Of his privilege of ad-
dressing people who followed Lee and
Jackson and who had the honor of
claiming Robert r. Lee as an honor
airy member in its memorial assOCia-
ton. He read Lees letter Of accept
ance June, 81, acknowledging cleo
ton to membership of the Ladies
Memorial Association Of Manassas,
but his prOudest moment as a citizen
of the United States will be when the
government shall give back to the
south through the surviving veterans
and widows what is known as the
Cotton Tax" Among other things
he said this is right, this is justice:
"The appropriation requested is not
asked as charity. ! have no disposi-
ton to stand as a representative of
the old Confederate soldiers, poor and
manned, as most of them are, and ask
a donation for them. | would dishon-
or them if | should stand in congress
like a smirking, fawning mandicant,
cap in hand, and ask a gift for them
or in their name.
1T is not a pension that am ask
ing, it is payment. 1t is not charity,
but Justice 1t is not gift; it is a
reparation. 1t is not an advance; it is
return. 1t is not largess; it is con-
science money"
An acceptance of the speech was
manifested by the popular little white
cotton tax" badges optimistically
floating throughout the audience, and
| by the adoption of a resolution Of
fered by G. A r. man that the en-
tire assembly adopt this bill, Some
one was heard to remark after Judge

country could have heard his argu
ment the bill would go through with
