Dec. (by the Associated Press "A
large number of American Nationa
Guardsmen yesterday began actual prac
tice with automatic rifles. Target ranges
have been erected at various points, anc
at these the men fired all day. Some ex.

NEED FIVE BILLIONS.
United States Government Must Have II
By July /.

Washington, d. c., Dec. l.--Early il
the session converting next Monday Con
gress must authorize means of collecting
from the American people between nov
and July | about five billion dollars, il
addition to the S3,666,000,000 from Lib
erty bonds already authorized but vet
to be issued, the billion dollars or less
expected from war savings campaign
and about three billion dollars from wal
| taxes
Most congressional leaders believe the
five billion dollar balance must be pro-
vided principally by issue of bonds, and
| Secretary McAdoo has told members of
| Congress that he heartily favors this
method. Chairman Kitchin of the House
ways and means committee on his return
to Washington to-day will take up the
question Immediately and the committee
within a week or two is expected to
frame a new bond measure If this plan
is finally adopted, the country probably
will be called on to absorb two more big
Liberty bond issues between Feb. ! and
July |, aggregating more than $780,
100000.
Another big finance question which
will receive the early attention of Con.
gress is the continuance of loans to the
allies. If the present rate of extending
credits to- the allies is continued, the
seven billion dollars authorized credits
will be exhausted by July | and Congress
will have to decide whether to continue
the loans after that time. Six billion
dollars will be required for the fiscal year
beginning next July /, if the rate of
half billion dollars month is kept up.
Wide difference Of opinion exists in
Congress over the question of whether
the bulk of the five billion dollars should
be raised by taxation or bond issues, but
those advocating the issue of securities
expect strong support from the admins
tration. They are prepared to argue
that the internal revenue bureau already
is overburdened with the immense task
of creating machinery for collection of
the So, ,400,000,000 war revenue expected
before July | and that great confusion
would result from imposition of new
taxes before opportunity has been given
for the existing levies to adjust them
selves to the economical situation.
Taxation advocates are expected to
make a fight for establishment Of new
taxes on certain business lines and for
increase of income and excess profits
rates. Under the present law the esti-
mated receipts from incomes is 81 200- |
100000 and from excess profits 81 ,220,- |
600 900.

A MURDER SYNDICATE
Is Charged with Many Murders in New
York City.

New York, Dec. Twelve indict
ments charging murder in the first de
gree were returned by the grand jury
| late yesterday as the result of confes
sions of Ralph Daniello, relative to the
existence of so-called murder syndi
cate" controlling gambling and graft in
the Italian colonies of greater New York
1t was learned later that five other men
were indicted earlier in the week for
murder in the first degree on Daniello's
statements to officials of the district at
torney's Office that 23 murders had been
committed by Italian gangs.
1t was announced that bench warrants
had been issued for the II indicted men,
but at late hour it was said none of
them had been arrested.
In his confession Danielo is quoted as
having said that gang was responsible
for the murder of Giuseppe DeMarco on
june. 2S, 1916, and that Charles Lombar-
di, a bystander, was shot down at the
same time. Daniello then is said to have
related how Salvatore DeMarco was
killed while organizing gang to avenge
the death of his brother, Giuseppe.
When the gang of which Daniello was
a member believed that DeMarco might
be able to carry out his threat, according
to report of Daniello's confession, they
cut his throat and threw the body under
the Queensborough bridge, where it later
was found.
This was about three months after the
killing OF the other two men.
On the theory that members of the
gang that killed the DeMarco brothers
and Lombardi may also have been in
strumental In the death of Michael A.
Giamari, political worker, who was
shot and killed two years ago, District
Attorney Swami yesterday assigned an

case.
The body of well dressed Italian was
found yesterday morning at the foot of
! stairway in Thompson street. He had
been strangled. The section where the
BODY was found is densely populated, yet
rowds passed by for hours before it was
discovered. Police expressed the belief
hat the man was killed elsewhere and |
arried to the tenement.

ALIEN ZONE IN BOSTON.
Entire Water Front District Closed tt
Enemy Aliens.

Boston, Dec 1.-The entire water front
district of this city was closed to enemy
aliens this morning. The work of estab-
fishing the lines of the barred zones, as
ordered in President Wilson's recent proc
lamation, was completed last night by
United States Marshal Mitchell. Although
the district marked out includes only
Greater Boston, il is stated that the
barred zone rules will extend in fact to
every city and town in the state where
there are docks from which vessels of
| more than 500 tons are sailing. Any alien
enemy found within 100 yards of the wa
terfront will be liable to immediate arrest
and internment for a part or the whole
period of the war.
The lines especially set out by Marshal
Mitchell cover portions of South Boston,
Roxbuy, the city proper, Charlestown,
Cambridge, Somerville, Everett, Chelsea,
East Boston, Dorchester and Squantum.
Alien enemies are barred absolutely
form using the East Boston tunnel ex-
tending under the harbor and they can
use the three ferries only by certain APP
proaehes. The North and South ferries
may be reached on the Boston side only
through Hanover, Fleet and Battery
streets. The Narrow Gauge ferry on the
Boston side can be reached only through
Broad and High streets and Beleher lane.
On the East Boston side the only open
ways to the North ferry are Liverpool,
London and Sumner streets and Maverick
square. The South ferry may be reached
ON this side by Maverick square and Lew
is street; while the Narrow Gauge ferry
may be approached northwest on Margin
al street to Ruth street to Webster
street.
The lines referred to in the various
zones are the base lines of the water
front The so-called "deadline" is 100
yards back of this. Sometime during
the early part of next week, this will be
marked by means of visible line, prob
ably painted on buildings bordering the
barred zone Large placards viii also be |
posted, notifying all alien enemies that !
they cannot proceed further.
At conference to-day with Colonel |
Howe of the northeastern department |
and Superintendent Crowley of the po-
lice department, Marshal Mitchell will /
take up the question of military and po
lice patrol The barred zone is several |
miles long, and if soldiers were used to
patrol the entire length IT is estimated |
that it would take about 10000 men. 1t
was the opinion of those at the federal
building last night that soldiers would
be used for the present only at vital
points where shipments for the overseas
forces are sent away regularly. At 9th
,r points police will probably be placed
IN patrol.
In establishing the lines, the marshal
vas assisted by representatives of the
Boston Elevated railway, the city engi
ieering department, the state waterways
md lands commission, the federal steam
,oat inspector and harbor master.
