Hoover Asks Change
In u. S. Flour Laws
Necessary to Meet Allies
Agreement on Mixed
Cereals. He Saws

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-America
and its co-belligerents having agreed
that 1T is necessary in the coming year
to mix 20 per cent Of other cereal flour
with wheat flour, Food Administrator
Hoover has asked Congress to suspend
the mixed -four law, so that this nation
may carry out it's obligation.
In a letter to Representative Rainey. of
the House Ways and Means Committee
Mr.. Hoover said in manufacturing the
mixed -four millars could not complv
with the tax requirements of the law
without such expense as to make the
operation Drohibitivc, and added that
such adulteration as that against which
the law is aimed could be prevented bv
providing for the character of the mix
ture of the different fours.
The system heretofore followed in
this country of having the flours mixed
at home, Mr.. Hoover said, not only was
an unnecessary burden to the house
holder, but permitted some to evade the
request for the saving of wheat -four.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-Racing
through the reading of the revenue bill
TODAY. the House. in committee of the
whole. left some contentious or doubt
ful points to to-morrow's session with
out encountering any serious opposi-
ton.
The momentous excess profits and
war profits subjects were passed over
without single serious objection to
their principles or scope. A few minor
amendments were proposed here and
there in the various titles, but all of
these on which votes were taken were
rejected and the committee took the
others under adivsement for report and
action tomorrow.
Among the amendments rejected were
one proposing the reduction of estates
taxes and one proposing a graduated
tax on bank checks.
There was much discussion Of certain
matters as the reading was proceed
ing and whenever a sugge stion seemed
10 have merit or touched on a subject
Of general interest it was put over
until tomorrow.
Cotton Tax Is Delayed
Representative j. Hampton Moore ar
ranged for the consideration to-mor-
row Of his amendment placing a tax
Of s. bale on cotton. He will offer
il in three different places in his bill,
but announced that if defeated on the
irSt offer he would not press the
others
The discussion of this subject is ex-
pected to bring out full attendance
and spirited debate. Reprsal amend
ments will be offered to tax steel and
other products. Representative Ferris
wanted the cotton tax disposed of this
afternoon before its discussion had de-
pressed the price of cotton any fur
ther and Mr.. Moore said that he was
willing but desired to give an oppor-
unity for members from the cotton
states to be present, most of them be-
lne absent this afternoon.
Representative Greene, of Iowa. was
granted permission to bring up at the
same time his amendment penalizing
factories that employ child labor with
tax of per cent on the value Of
their product. Similar disposition was
made of proposition by Representa-
i've Treadwav. of Pennsylvania, to tax

The proposed Federal license tax for
automobiles, ranging from S. to $50
annually. according to horsepower. was
sharply attacked, but finally approved.
Chairman Kitchin of the Ways and
Means Committee said the proposed
license tax virtually is a road tax, in
vrew of governmcpt appropriations for
road work. Some members doubted
that the tax would apply to used autos,
but Representative Kitchin said that,
no matter how many times machine
changed hands, each owner would have
to pay the Federal license.
When the House adjourned tonight
reading of all tax sections Of the bill
had been completed, with only few
administrative provisions remaining to
be acted upon. in addition to the CON
troverted items put over day.

District Court on the charge of con-
spring to obstruct recruiting and en-
llstment, is expected to go to the jury
before nightfall tomorrow.
Both Of the Preths have admitted

ment on the war that appeared in Eng
llsh on the first page of their paper
and which contained many of the ar
tlcles included in the Indictment
Edwin Prieth, forty-two years old,
the younger brother. on the stand
most of o-day, testified to having writ
ten letter to George Creel, chairman
OF the Committee on Public Informa-
tlon, IN reference to a book Of instruc-
TONS sent to newspapers by Creel. Mr.
Prleth SAID the instructions were vague
and difficult to understand.
Mr.. Prieth explained, on cross-ex-
animation, that Creel's book was de-
signed to be guide to editors on what
news to publish and what news to sup
press. He said the "Freie Zeitung"
followed the voluntary censorship rules
to the best of its ability.
Hearst Article Cited
A page of "The New York American"
of December -, 1916, was introduced
as an exhibit by the defence, which con
tended that it contained an article that
was read by the Prieths and affected
their mental attitude toward the war.
This article, a reprinted speech de-
livered by Lloyd George when he was
Chancellor of the Exchequer in 1908,
and other articles printed in other
newspapers, books and magazines, ac-
cording to Attorney Otto Steiffel, for
the defence. helped form the mental at
titude of the defendants toward the
war and toward England
Several character witnesses were put
on the stand by the defence before it
rested. Among these was James R.
Nugent, Democratic boss" of Newark
The Prieths are Republicans
The trial is to be resumed at $3.50
o'clock tomorrow morning.
