TAX BILL
BECOMES FIRST
ISSUE IN STATE
CIV Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 19.-Observ.
ers who announced complacently that
the legislature might as well adjourn
now" vixen the constitutional conven-
ton, prohibition and suffrage bills
passed the senate, the frst two after
ratification by the lower body and the
latter in such form as was believed
acceptable to the house, may have
reason this next week to revise their
estimates.
No one disputes the statement that
the excise tax bill, the measure advo-
Gated by Governor Goodrich in his
special message last week and passed
the house Saturday, is one of the par
amount issues of the SEVENTEEN gen.
eral assembly. It's fate in the senate,
where party lines have been broken
down already, is very doubtful, it is
commended.
Catches Advocates Unawares
The suffrage question also is far
from decided. The influences opposed
to granting women the right to vote
prevented hurried action in the house
of representatives after the senate
passed the Maston measure more than
a week ago. The statement by Speak
err Eschbach that the Alldredge house
bill would be put on third reading to-
day, it was said, was surprise to the
suffra gists who have not prepared for
the resubmission of the issue to the
senate thinking the house would not
seriously oppose the only concession
the senate granted, that the house in
Dictated a disposition to WITHHOLD
the privilege of voting for delegates
to the constitutional convention, in
September, 1917.
House Amends Measure
The house had amended the ALL
dredge bill to make it effective Octo-
Der 1, 1917, and would thus have linn
tied the privilege Of voting for con-
stitutional convention delegates to the

In explanation Of the Republican
failure to push five or six Goodrich
bills, which floor-leader Senator Rob-
inson predicted would be passed last
week, it was pointed out that the in
lection of the excise tax bill at this
late date, eclipsed these minor mat
ters in importance and the Republi-
cans preferred to make their supreme
effort to pass this bill, without per-
hitting division on other measures to
interfere.

ARMY and NAVY TAKE
FINGER PRINTS OF men
Hope by This Means to Identify
Recruits In Case of Death
or Illness,

Neutrality-suspicious. Of the war
police are anxious to keep q watch on
criminals and take into custody such
as are at large. Crooks have often
been able to slip through the hands Of
small town police forces which lacked
finger print system.
The army and navy are now taking
finger prints of all men who enlist so
that in case of death or illness the vic
tim may be identified. The police de-
partment at one time aided the gov
eminent in this work, but today the
army and navy have their own print
system.
ANY One," Inspector Faurot Of New
York said, latter a little instruction
and practice can take PERSONS finger
impressions successfully. To learn how
to classify them, however, is a differ
ent matter. 1t requires a knowledge
Of finger prints. Our department has
reached such efficiency that in four
minutes We can take a prisoners i'm
pressions, make research for his for
mer impressions and place his type
written record before you"
Inspector Faurot told Of a prisoner
who was brought to headquarters.
When his assistants looked up the pris-
oner's record they discovered his prints
had been sent from Belgium, where
he was wanted in an $4,000 embezzle-
ment. Finger impressions Of a man
arrested in Sydney, Australia, for the
shooting of a policeman there were
sent here His impressions revealed
that he was wanted for murder In Bos-
ton.
Many employers of labor today have
finger prints taken of their employees
for Identification. Laborers who work
in ditch gangs wander from one place
to another so that their identities fire.

DISCUSS SHRAPNEL HELMETS
Great Quantities Can Be Turned Out In
SinqIe Month If Needed.

Neutrality-suspicious. of the war de-
partment declared that, while the
army was not yet provided with the
shrapnel helmets found so indispensa-
BILE in European military operations Of
the last two years, the department had
already approved patterns for their
manufacture and that great quantities
could be turned out within a single
month in the event they were needed.
The war department has also accept
ed patterns for poison gas helmets and
trench guns, adequate supplies Of which
also may be obtained on short notice,
it is said. The army has no plans at
present for the provision Of liquid fire,
which the Germans introduced and
which the allies have since found so
useful in trench operations, but 1t is
stated that this, too, could be secured
In this country in case its use became
imperative. -
The pattern Of shrapnel helmet ac-
cepted by the war department Is de-
scribed as unusually heavy, weighing
between three and four pounds. 1t
will not be worn except in active field
operations.

ALL PRIVATE WIRELESS
PLANTS DISMANTLED
Report of Sea Raider Off Coast
Moves Government to Speedy
Action.

New York.-Immediatel on the dec
laration Of war against Germany the
police began executing the order that
all private wireless stations through
out the city be dismantled. The fed
eral authorities have instructed them
that every apparatus<Of this character
must come down, even those having
permits from the department of COM
merce. Apparatus not removed by the
owner will be dismantled by a police
wrecking crew.
1t is estimated there are 1,5OO wire
less receiving stations in Greater New
York, most of which have been encour-
aged by the government because stu
dent wireless operators must have
plants in which to practice.
One thing that moved the govern
ment to take prompt steps against the
wireless was the report of sea raider
off the coast. Particular attention is
being paid to automobiles driving along
the south shore of Long Island, be-
cause there is reason to believe that
many times during the war radio con-
nection has been established between
German spies in this city and sea
rovers. Apparatus powerful enough
to throw waves 1000 miles can be car
ried in the tonneau Of a motorcar.
Secret service agents have picked up
messages supposedly sent in this way.

SUGGESTS WAR HONORS
FOR ARMY OF FARMERS
Recruit All Unfit For War Work For
Service In the Fields.

New York.-Joseph Hartigan, COM
missioner Of weights and measures,
has laid before the council of national
defense plan to remedy the shortage
OF agricultural labor by the mobiliza-
ton and training by the government
Of an agricultural army.
The scheme provides for enlisting
ablebodied men unfit for the army and
navy on account of minor defects, such
as weak vision, deafness, tooth trouble,
and so on, and also Of conscientious
DIRECTORS.
In view of the present food situa-
ton and the need for more food in fu-
ture," said the commissioner, "the
farmer must have help in increasing
his crops. American agriculture has
suffered from the drift of farm labor to
mun1tion factories, and when the ma
ton begins to raise an army there will
be further subtraction from farm Ia
Dor through enlistments, while the con-
sumption of food certainly will not de-
crease.
Under the circumstances it seems
we ought to honor the man behind the
plow as well as the man behind the
gun. Each is serving the nation. Such
an army might easily number several
hundred thousand. 1t would be regu-
larry organized and differed, and its
men would wear uniforms, marking
them distinctly as engaged in the serv-
Ice of the United States. After brief
training they could be distributed in
regiments or companies where needed,
according to crop seasons. These men
would be paid by the government, Just
as soldiers are paid, and they might
well receive the advantages after hon.
orable discharge that are given in some
places by law to eX-soldiers. Farmers
who receive this aid from the govern
ment could pay the wage rate current
in their neighborhoods."

HAWK BREAKS WINDOW GLASS
furnishing Bird Attempts to Feast on
Parrot.

Green Bay, Wis.-Polly, a parrot, the
companion Of Mrs. William Anderson,
was preening herself in the sunshine
at the window of the front room when
a hawk. swoOping down, crashed
through the window glass.
Before the bleeding bird of prey could
reach the parrot with its talons Polly
scared out through the same hole and
perched in an apple tree. Polly set up
a frightened chatter that brought her
mistress, who couldn't imagine how
she got out of the room. Mrs. Ander-
son hurried out and to the window,
where she saw the havoc and the great
hawk Topping about the floor, sprink-
ling blood all over her erstwhile i'm
maculate parlor.
When Mrs. Anderson and a neighbor
had pinned it down and chopped off its
head they found it three feet five
inches from tip to tip. The bird was
thin and seemed nearly starved, prob
ably. they thought, because of the deep
snow.

cultivation, and it is predicted that
this volunteer farming corps viii soon
number fully $50 golfers who will try
to prove themselves as efficient with a
hoe as with a niblick. These volun-
teers sign the following pledge:
"The Dunwoodie Country club has
the honor of taking the initiative in a
national campaign on the part Of golf
clubs to aid in winning the war now
declared. We propose to set aside for
cultivation all of our land not abso-
. lutely needed for golf purposes. We
propose that our members shall Guilt
vate this land; that the club shall pur-
chase its product at a fair market
value and that members shall do the
same, and that the total cash proceeds
shall be devoted to the purchase of am
bulance trucks and other neceSSarieS
required in the successful prosecution
of war.
1.-THE undersigned members Of the
DunwoOdie Country club now volun-
teer their services in the Dunwoodie
volunteer garden corps and pledge
themselves to work in these gardens
for an average of two hours a week
for the twenty weeks which constitute
the season. We also agree to pay 81 as
initiation fee and further pledge our
selves to obey the rules which will be
adopted to govern the execution Of this
patriotic duty"
Two hours a week for twenty weeks
makes forty hours work for each men,
Der, which means that a volunteer
corps of $50 members would perform
10000 hours Of farming labor. This
now has a market value of not less
than 80 cents an hour, an item of
$1,000, and the Dunwoodie farming ex-
golfers will create a product which
will sell for not less than $4,000, of
which the club will be chief patron.
Mr.. Adams, President Austin l. Bah
cock of the Dunwoodie Country club
and other originators of this movement
point to the fact that there are fully
thousand golf clubs in the United
