MANY HAMMOND BOYS
WAIT CALL To FRANCE
List of Indiana Soldiers at
Mobilization Camp
Reaches 200.
by IRVING

SYRACUSE. n. Y, June 25.-Ham-
mond boys at the mobilization camp
here. looking forward to service in
France within a very few weeks. are
mighty proud of their home town.
especially since they have learned of
it's generous subscription to liberty
bonds and the fact that 5000 individ-
uals donated TO the Red Cross fund.
Wherever they go, the Hammond re-
cruits never fail to brag Of the fact
that their town leads the country in
recruiting. but we are afraid unless
some more speed is shown that right
will be taken away from US. The re-
cruiting report from Washington for
the past three weeks shows Hammond
has sent only fifteen men-fve a week
If any of the boys who enlisted
from Hammond had reason to find fault
with their treatment there might be
some excuse for the falling off in re-
cruits. But every last chap is glad he
enlisted. 1t has made men OF boys
and If they go home today they would
owe Uncle Sam the rest of their lives
for the training and discipline | see

F FRANTIC

Gary police and all Gary Boy Scoutl
ave secured woods and surrounding
territory-to no avail. 4
Child kidnapped.
Police captain Aydelotte is working
upon one clue-that OF a man who is
said to nave been seen with the babe
the evening of her disappearance.
The captain does not hesitate in say
ing that the child was extraordinarily
for money. for the father. Peter. living
at 1909 Carolina street, is poor-but be-
cause Of a grudge against the family or
the family's relatives.
One story that links strongly with
the disappearance of the beautiful flax
en- haired child. her name said to be
Mary. is of a "brute"-feared by the
neighbors because of his ferocity n
threats-taking the child because a
relative of Mary refused him money.
SO the story goes-the brute" asked
the wife of a brother of the stolen child
for money Friday afternoon. She re-
fused.
"By God I'll Get Even"
by God-Iu get even with you-and
you'll remember it and all you're rela-
tives." said the man. The woman
slammed the door in his face. The
brute" cursed her and slipped away.
Seen Taking Child.
One ne-ighbor-woman openly said that
she saw the man" running down an
alley with the child under his arms.
Another report is that he coaxed her
away by giving her candy.
Mary's playmates said she left them
about five o'clock. That was the last
they saw of her.
The Child killed.
Although the man is said to be a
brute it is hardly thought he would
so as far as killing the child. He has
taken Mary" to the home of friends
probably to force the babes parents and
relatives to give him money. So far no
threatening note of warning has been
sent the distracted parents.
The "man"-his name withheld by
the police-was divorced by his wife
Friday. \ few hours later he made the
demand for money. Since Their he has
not been seen.
Police On Trail.
Captain Aydelotte is u%nraveling the
mystery in all possible haste. Several
detectives have been put on the case
and every clue is being run down.
H can't keep the baby long before
we get some clue to it's whereabouts
said the captain this morning.
Il don't believe the child is dead. at
least not yet" concluded the officer aft
er giving a minute description Of the
kidnapping.
Parents Frantic
All night Friday and all day Saturday
the father hunted along with the police.
Neighbors cared for the mother who is
grief-stricken.
The child-a big blue eyed doll"-
was the pet of the family. Always
CHEEKY, laughing and playing about the
home the mother and n%eighbors miss
it sorely.
The father works in the mill.

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The 1iq-
uor question has hurled confusion and
dismay and vast uncertainty into the
senate fight for food control. Just as
1t appeared that the administration,
holding the upper hand with the aid Of
powerful republican supports, was to
force passage CT the bill his week. the
lbone dry amendment adopted by the
house upset everything today. Vets
who favored the bill are hedging and
drys are split on the extent war pro-
hibition should be naugurated at this
time.

Milwaukee, Wis, July AT least 10
persons were killed, six women and -four
men, and more than a score of Others
were injured late Saturday afternoon
when the whaleback steamer Christopher
Columbus, in swinging away for her re-
turn trip to Chicago crashed into dock
on the Milwaukee river, causing huge
water tank TO fall from the top of the
fve-story Yahr and Lang warehouse onto
the deck OF the vessel.
There were said to be approximately
400 passengers on the whalebaek, includ-
ing a number of students from the Uni.
sersity of Chicago, who were returning
from an outing The first bodies recov-
cred were those of girls, later three 9th

so far have been identified. The crash
of the water tank tore through the
bridge, pilot house, two decks and slid
into the river when it struck the steel
main deck. The officers of the boat could
give no explanation for the tragedy.
They said James Brodick, pilot was at
the wheel at the time, and that his wheel
failed to respond. An unconfirmed re-

WAR TAX
BILL IS READY
Incomes and Excess Profits
Will Bear About the
Major Burden
SENATE REDUCES
TOTAL REVENUE
Committee Concludes DELHI
erations on Measure to
Meet Wars Expense

Washington, July 2.-Revision Of tn
81 S00,Ooo,000 war tax bill, passed by tn
House five weeks ago, was completed Sat
urday by the Senate finance committee
The measure was virtually was rewritten
and reduced to 81 ,652, ITO, 900, with no au
thorization Of additional bonds. The fin
al draft was sent to the printer Satur
day night and will be reported to tn,
Senate by Chairman Simmons thi
week.
Incomes and excess profits will beal
about two thirds of the new tax bur
dens under the revised bills--about q
half. billion dollars each--with a large
share of the remainder secured from
liquor and tobacco Many house take:
were entirely eliminated by the com,
mittee and Others added.
Radical increase of taxes on war ex.
cess profits of corporations, partner.
ships and individuals, decided upon SAT.
urdsy, enabled the committee to dis.
pense with the suggestion made of adj
ditionsl bond issues of from $500, 000,-
900 to Sl,00o,000,000 issue. While the
bill falls short by about S60o,00o,0oo Of
meeting the treasury estimates of war
expenses next year, the committee de.
elded that by issuing Sl35,000,000 OF
authorized, but unsold, Panama canal
bonds the expenses can be met until Con-
gress reeonyenes in December.
As finally drafted the much debated
publishers tax section proposes a per
cent. tax upon publishers profits over
81 900. yielding S7,500,000 revenue and an
increase OF quarter of cent a pound
in second-class postage rates, yielding
SO 100000.
Excess profits due to the war under
the revised bill would bear S730, O00, 600
in taxes graduated from II to 40 per
cent. according to the proportion OF ex-
cess. This is an increase of S505, 100000
over such taxes under the present law,
Of which repeal is proposed and $780,
100000 more than was proposed by the
House bill.
From income taxes 1851, 100000 would
be raised, 66,000,0O0 less than the House
provided the decrease being made en-
tirely upon incomes of $4,000 annually
and aboye-with the committee approx
ing the House plan of lowering income
AK exemptions to $1,000 for single per
sons, $4,000 for married persons. adj
iitional normal taxes of two per cent
upon incomes up to 5000 and surfaces
graduated from one to 33 per cent up
m larger incomes. The committee also
hanged the plan of collecting income
axes from that OF collection at the
ource" to information at the source"
o accomplish direct payment.
In greatly increasing the tax levy
IN excess profits, the committee also
provided for such taxation on corpora
ions undistributed surplus. That earned
N 1917 will be allowed general tax
of 30 per cent. and that
armed prior thereto would be taxed,
ehen distributed according to the rev
nue. rates exising in the year when
