TRY TO HOLD |. w. w.
Investigators Combine To Make Case
Against Bomb Suspects.

Chicago, Sept. 1o.-A determined ef-
fort to free 1. w. w. members detain-
ed in connection with the federal
building bomb investigation resulted in
the unification of federal, state and
county officials today.
For the first time since the explo-
sion the three forces combined to null
over all evidence secured by three
forces of sleuths. The siftings were
to be shown Judge Marcus sKavanagh
as proof that certain 1. w. WIS should
be detained.
Judge Kavanagh refused to grant
a habeas corpus at the request of At
torney George Vandeveer, who headed
the defense in the recent big I. w. w
case. The judge announced that Off
GERS would have a chance to argue
against the writs. Further than their
effort to retain certain alleged sus-
poets and witnesses, officials gave nc
mixing of progress in running down

sumption taxes, and increased tariff
rates. These remain ne added, as ad-
ditional sources of revenue in case.
some of those now counted upon are
destroyed by legislation or otherwise.
Contending that the presidents or
der stopping the manufacture of beer
after next December 1 will cause a
loss of $500. 100000 in revenue under
the new war tax bill, Mr.. Longworth
said congress may be forced to i'm
pose consumption taxes sooner than
had been expected. In that connec-
ton he suggested a tax of cents a
pound on coffee. 25 cents on tea, 10
per cent on rubber. 20 per cent on
wool, Is per cent on hides and l cent
on sugar. He estimated these would
yield s240,000,oO0 annually.
''Dry law VIII Cause Big Shortage
The Ohio representative also warned
that the proposed wartime national
prohibition legislation would-~reduce
the estimated revenue returns from
beverages by $1,000. 060. 900. which
with the lost revenue on beer from De-
cember I until the national prohibition
measure becomes effective would re-
duce the estimated revenue under the
bill to 0O0,000,000.
Altho criticising some of it's fea-
lures, Mr.. Longworth commended the
bill as whole as vast improvement
over the old law.
In concluding, the speaker portrayed
the conditions under which the Ger
man people, gagged and bound, pay
bloody tribute to the insatiate ambi-
ton of the house of Hohenzollerp, -
and said that no citizen of the en-
battled nations, not even the son of
the great pacifist Henry Ford is more
surely immune of the bodily harm
than are the German emperor's six
sons, who will be- preserved undam-
aged for posterSty."
Sons of Presidents in Battle.
Sons of the presidents of the United
States he said by comparison. have
been less timorous. Without mention
ing by name his father-in-law, Col
Roosevelt. Mr.. Longworth said:
"All four sons of former president
have been at the real front, three of
them married men with children,
upon whom there was. no possible le-
gal obligation. One has persisted
gloriously on the field of honor, two
have been wounded, one so seriously
that he has been invalided home, the
only one who has escaped injury has
been decorated for conspicuous gall
lantry in action"
He added that a son of the only
other living eX-president, referring to
Mr.. Taft, is at the front and that if
President Wilson had. been blessed
with sons of fighting age, they. too,
would have been on the firing line.
Let patriotism" Mr.. Longworth
said, continue to Danish all selfish
and partisan spirit from our DELHI
erations and make us brothers in the
cause, SO that we may stand shoulder

INTEREST TO WOMEN
Patriotic Displays, Including Ba-
bies, at the Great Free Fair.

The first sight to greet the eyes of
the visitor to the fair grounds is the
large Red Cross just back of the fig
ure made from the famous painting
placed upon pedestal just at the left
of the entrance gate. At night the

that represent other branches of pa
triotic endeavor. The Salvation Army
have a hut made in imitation of their
overseas huts. This little building is
simply furnished, with couch, chairs, a
victrola and table. Outside is a
glass case containing a canteen of cof-
fee and big dish of the doughnuts
that have helped the Salvation Army
in winning a way to the hearts of the
soldiers. The keepers of the booth
give out the sort of literature that the
people will stop to read.
The childrens tent is a busy place
today, for in it childrens exhibits are
judged, ana prizes awarded. Also
prizes are given for the ''best babies. u

Also Is Afraid the Rich VIII Be
Taxed Too Much.
Sees Nightmare of UnsOld Lib

washington. Sept 10.-Wealth is
taxed to about the straining point by
the new war revenue bill, Representa-
tive 'Longworth,- of Ohio, declared in
the house today, when debate on the
huge tax measure was resumed. He
warned his hearers that any addition
al taxes levied hereafter must be
borne by people purchasing articles
of daily necessity and said That as the
cost of the war mounts a greater pro-
norton of it will have to be borne by
future generations. Pointing out
that congress is about to exact from
the American people a sum which
would have more than paid the en-
tire cost of the Civil war, both to the
Union and the Confederacy, Mrc-tong-
worth said the tax of 80 per cent on
war profits and the maximum of 10
per cent on excess profits and II per
cent on incomes was mighty near the
danger mark" He added that this is
a bill ito raise war revenue and not
re-organiZe society,"
"a Danger to Liberty Loans"
"Just as surely as you impose a tax
which amounts to plumber said the
Ohio representative lust so surely do
you overshoot the mark and render
difficult if not impossible the financ-
ing necessary to effectively prosecute
the war.
Most of the coming issue of liberty
bonds, Mr. Longworth said, will be
purchased by individuals and their
purchasing power will be affected di-
rectly by the taxes on their incomes.
Altho he and other members had
doubted its possibility. the ways and
means committee, Longworth con-
tinued, had succeeded in framing a
bill designed to raise $4,000, 900, 900
by taxation, without resort to con-

HAS NO OPPOSITION
New War Revenue Bill VIII Get
Practically Unanimous Vote.

Washington, Sept 10-Passaee of
the new revenue bill thru the house
unopposed and probably unaltered in
any OF its important provisions, seems
practically certain.
Despite this lack of opposition.
Chairman Kitchin, of the house ways
and means committee today announc-
ed that he had given up hope of get
ting the measure thru by Saturday as
originally planned because many
members desire to be heard in its ia

The announcement of Representa-
