PREDICT
DRY LEGISLATION

Because Of the rush Of other busi-
ested, the meeting Of the Senate agri-
culture committee scheduled for to-
day, at which consideration Of the
Jones prohibition amendment was to
have been taken up, was postponed
until tomorrow.
While prohibition leaders are un-
certain just what attitude the COM
mittee will take toward the Jones
amendment as it now stands, they are
confident an amendment to the eleven
million-dollar emergency appropria-
and sale Of liquor during the war will
be favorably reported to the Senate
President Wilson, 1t was reported
yesterday declined to interpose active
opposition for the present to the Jones
amendment to the food production bill
during the war. The President is said
to have taken the position that.
while he would have preferred pre-
cipitation Of the prohibition question
in separate legislation, he would not
at this time interfere in the matter,
enactment of the emergency agrfcul-
tural bill or other necessary legisla-
tion. Should it interfere with such
legislation. 1t is understood. the Pres
ident might step in and ask that the
amendment be eliminated.
The Jones amendment was discussed
with the President by Senator Smith
OF South Carolina, acting chairman of
the committee on agriculture, yester-
day afternoon. after Bainbridge Colby.
representing Chairman Hurley Of the
shipping board. had told the commit
tee that to make the country abse-
lutely dry now would be to curtail
the output of ships from the ship
yards. He said that to take away the

reduce their efficiency and result, in a

Iohn Quinn Would Exempt
Art From Revenue Taxes;
Not Luxurious, He Pleads

Art should not be taxed under the
new revenue bill, because artists are
performing a great educational work
and are scarcely making a living
while giving expression to the most
refining influences which will have a
strong influence on future genera
tions.
John Quinn Of New York city. speak
ing for the Association of American
Painters and Sculptors and the Socie-
ty of Independent Artists. urged this
argument upon the ways and means
committee yesterday.
Art Not Luxury.
Works Of art should not be classsd
with jewelry. diamonds, pleasure
yachts, passenger automobiles and the
like, all Of which should be taxed. he
said.
Barnett L. Hollander, counsel for the
American Art Dealers Association.
told the committee that tax on art
sales would put the business out Of
existence, and he added that If "the
value Of works OF art be thus depre-
ciated, the inheritance or transfer
taxes on death, which both the ma
tional government and the states now
collect In large sums, would be di-
minished."
Arguing that Congress should en-
courage the arts rather than tax
them out of existence, Mr.. Hollander
said: ~
"It is the duty of the government to
encourage the fine arts as a branch Of
education. The art of nation is one
Of its most refining influences and be-
comes in time it's most enduring mon-
ument and the highest expression of
its civilization. While the expendi-
lures Of the federal government are
gigantic, resort to the inconsiderable
return from works of art should not
be had unless desperately needed.

GEN. CROWDER LOSES
CHAUFFEUR IN DRAFT
John Hailstock, 26, One Of Sixty.
Three to 90 to Howard
University School.

Provost Marshal General Crowder
today lost his private chauffeur in
the draft.
Among the sixty-three colored reg
istrants who left the District build
ing this morning at II o'clock for the
Howard University Training School
was John Hailstock. twenty-six
years old.
Hailstock has been Gen. crowders
chauffeur since the outbreak of the
war. He had driven the general to
and fro between home and the ofiice
where the great machinery Of the
draft is directed and set in motion.
Today that machinery took Hall
stock to camp. and a younger chauf-
feur. below the draft age, now drives
Gen. Crowder's car.
Hailstock will be given q course
as machine gun mechanic.

morning to join the 800 men already
In training at Howard University
were drawn from the divisions for

STATUS OF REGISTRANTS
BOTHERS DRAFT BOARDS
Information Is Sought From Every
Available Source and Public
Cooperation Asked.

Those possessing information af-
fecting the status in the draft classi-
f1cations of any District registrant
are urged to communicate 1t to the
local board concerned. Chairman A.
A. Hoehling. jr., of the legal advisory
board today invited such public CO.
operation.
Local boards. in the work of re-
classification being conducted this
week to recruit class /. are having
difficulty in arriving at the correct
status of various registrants who
have failed to inform their boards
of changes, Members of local boards
will be glad to get information from
any source.
Legal advisers are working night
and day on the missionaries. 1t is
hoped to have the work entirely fin-
ished this week.
Mr.. Hoehling stated today that
there was to be no limit to the num-
ber of men that might be placed In
class 1. Because some boards already
may have exceeded the national av-
erage of % per cent of their men
placed in the first class is no reason
why still more should not be plsnsl
in the initial grouE-aS.
Fifty per cent of the total registra-
ton placed in class 1 would not be
too much IL facts warranted such
classification, Mr.. Hoehling intimated.

aid to the promotion Of the fine arts"
He stated his conviction that edu-
cation in art will add greatly to the
benefit the industries in whose prod

SILK. cotton and woolen. jewelry, car
pets, furniture, wall papers, pottery

Artists Part in War.
Regarding the part that the Ameri-
can artist is taking in war through
development Of camouflage, Mr.. Hol-
lander said:
The American artist is devotine
himself to war work, where he is not
already in actual conflict or in the
Army. The war has brought to us the
art of camouflage, and this is the ar
lists sphere in war. Whether in the
Army or out Of the Army. the Ameri-
can artist as class is giving much
time and effort to military and naval
He is, moreover. devoting his tall
ents to the government in a great
variety Of ways. Instances are, de-
signing war posters. liberty loan
posters and war saving stamp posters,
and his art brings him in close touch
with much of the needed publicity

necessary a part of its war func-
tions."
