eral weeks ago, yesterday was recon-
mended for internmcnt by Rufus W.

Craig Protests Tax on
State and City Bonds

Controller Craig Yesterday sent a
telegram to each member of CONGRESS
on the Ways and Means Committee
protesting against the proposed taxa
ton of state and municipal bonds.
ION behalf of the City Of New York
permit me to express an urgent and
earnest protest against such taxation, -
the Controller telegraphed. The bur
dens of such taxation would fall most
heavily upon the municipal government
of the City of New York and seriously
cripple its governmental functions.
"The City Of New York has aided the
Federal government in every way in
the prosecution of the war A tax,
direct or indirect, upon municipal bonds
is IN effect tax upon the government
OF the City Of New York. 1t is tax
upon public schools. hospitals, charta-
bic and correctional institutions and
upon hle and police protection. and
upon water supply, rapid transit and
waterfront mprovoments. 4 certain
amount OF such improvements is vital
under war conditions.
"The power to tax is the power to do
s'roy. 1t is inconceivanle that Con
gless should PROSTATE the credit and
cripple the functions OF great and
devoted municipal government The
gain cannot possibly offset the iniurv
OF a tax that so clearly appears to be-
unconstitutional. earnestly urge that
no tax be laid, directly or indirectly
upon munlciDal bonds -

tcrious explosion at noon to-day in the
buildings occupied by the Strausser
Chemical Company at Chauncey, near
here. whore a big government order

sivcs is hcing filled. hae caused tie po-
lice and Federal authorities to begin
an .nv, stigation that may lead to the

The explosion did not occur in any
of the tanks of chemicals, but on the
outside OF the main building. which is
of brick. 1t blew the wall in and set
lire to the frame part of the adjoining
buildings.
The dangerous chemicals used in
making the acids are stored in big
cement tanks buried underground. Had
any Of these caught fire terrific ex-
plosion would have followed and would
have endangered the lives of the thou
sand or more inmates Of the New York
Juvenile Asylum, half a mile away.
Arthur Walters, manager Of the
plant, said tonight that he felt GER
tain the explosion and resulting fire
was of incendiary origin. He Stated
positively that the explosion did not
take place within the plant, and conse-
qucnt!y could not have been from anv-
thing but an outside source, as no
chemicals are outside of the plant The
damage was heavy

Gently published showing the visits of
Won Bernstorff and Bolo to Mr. Hearsts

that Mr.. Hearst supplied whiskev.
champagne and cordials for the enter

tent that the empty bottles were car
ried away in barrels and bags. If
