Told Bee Reporter He Did
Not Care to Be Inter-
viewed About Affair
At Present.

Attempts were made at an early
hour yesterday afternoon to see Mr..
Towle. At his Office the statement
was made that Mr.. Towle was out
of the city, or intended going out
of the city and inquiries were re-
ferred to his home.
The importance of getting hold of
Mr.. Towle in order that he might
have an opportunity to reply to the
allegations concerning his activities
in the Thorp-Moore-Haze case was
then made clear by a narration of
the story to H. F. Honig, member
of the Omaha Structural Steel Co.,
of which Mr.. Towle is president.
Told of Story.
Mr.. HONG was told that, accord
ing to the assertions of witnesses
Mr.. and Mrs. Towle had visited the
grandmother Of the Thorp boy, and
had attempted to persuade her that
it would be best if the young man,
Thorp, stuck to his original story
as told to the grand jury, and upon
which the indictment of Mr.. Moore
was made. He was also told that
following the conversation Mr..
Towle had given Mrs. Chase. the
grandmother in question, $40 in
cash, and that the following morn
ing Mrs. Towle again had visited the

MENTAL WORK
NEEDS ASFOMACH
Great Mistake to Imagine You
Can Work Better and Faster
on the Starvation Plan. Eat
What You Like But Fol-
low With Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.

Mental work uses up energy fast.
And energy comes from food. To
eat little or nothing in order to do
more work is fallacy that has Gre
ated an army of dyspeptics. A bet
ter plan is to eat the regular por-
tions of food such as make up the
average meal and follow each meal
with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
You will then get double benefit
energy from food and sociability
with meals, for as rule, the light
eater, or those who skip meals, get
into bad habit, rut, OF hermit
like isolation. Do not be afraid of
gassiness, sour stomach, heartburn,
heavy feeling or coated tongue after
meals. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
arouse the stomach to secete the
juices necessary to relieve these
troubles that SO frequently distress
the mental worker. They contain
harmless ingredients which act with
an alkaline effect, so you may eat
the rich things of the banquet or
the savory sausage for breakfast
with utmost freedom.
Get 50-cent box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at any drug store,
eat freely of what you like and you
will do more and better work than
on a skimpy diet. Try this plan.

old lady, giving her daughter another
$40 in cash and confirming the inter-
est in the case that Mr.. Towle had
expressed to her the night before.
MIR. Towle Charitable.
Mr.. Honig expressed surprise at
the story, and said that it was quite
possible that Mr.. Towle had visited
the Chase home from benevolent
purpose, as both he and Mrs. Towle
were quite charitable, and already
had two waits or unfortunate boys
in school.
Attempts were then made to get
hold of Mr.. Towle at his home, at
several banks, in one of which he is
a director, and at various other
places about the city. He could not
be found, however, and it was stated
that if he were found later in the
evening he would be informed of the
situation.
Refuses to Make Statement.
The search for Mr.. Towle re-
suited successfully, as he was To-
Gated at the Athletic club at about
9 with Mr.. Honig. 47
Mr.. Towle asked what The Bee
wanted of him, and reply was made
that it was to give him an oppor-
tunity to make a statement concern
ing the story, the details of which
had been related to Mr.. HONG,
and which Mr.. Honig, of course, had
undoubtedly related to him.
Mr.. Towle then discussed phases
of%he occurrence with Mr.. Honig
and said that all the formal state
ment he wished to make was that
he did not care to discuss the affair
or be interviewed about it.

William Koenig, manager of the

oil in the basement of his hostelry.
He has observed fluid trickling
through crevice at the southeast
corner of the basement for two
weeks and has detected the odor of
kerosene. He is unable to determine
the source of this strange fluid. He
has submitted samples to a chemist
who will make an analysis. The flow
amounts to only trickle at present,
but Mr.. Koenig is hoping that it
may indicate something more re-
rious.

NEW TAXES IN
 EFFECT TUESDAY
Will Fall Most Heavily on Theatre Ticket
 Brokers.

Washington, March 28 - New amusement taxes which go into eff feet next Tuesday will fall heavily on theatre ticket brokers, and will raise cabaret admissions.
 In addition to the ordinary tax of one cent on each ten cents charged for theatre tickets, news stands, hotel or other brokerage agencies dealing in theatre tickets are required under the new revenue law to pay per cent. of the excess charged by that agency above the usual box office price. providing this excess is 50 cents pr less, and 30 per cent. if the excess is more than 50 cents above the box office charge. The excess is figured on the box office charge plus ordinarS tax, and the broker pays the tax.
 The effect of this tax is expected to be to limit brokers extra charges in many cases to nifty cents. Pur- chasers Of tickets from brokers vii! be required to pay the usual tax or one cent on each ten cents charged hy the broker.
 If tickets are sold at theatres "ia excess of the regular or established price" they are to be taxed fifty per cent on the excess. Internal rev enuc bureau regulations to be issued soon will define what shall constitute the regular or established price,"
 4 tax of 1-2 per cent. on each ten cents or fraction charged as adnis- sion to Cabarcts- is levied this year in stead of one cent as provided in last years law, and 20 per cent. of the bill for food and drinks is to be considered for admission If no specid- ic admission charge is made.
 Club dues and initiation fees ex- ceding sl0 d year are taxable at ten per cent.
 Trans4 Ortation, insurance and stamp taxes also go into effect next Tuesday. The new act lays a tax of three per cent on freight charges, ap7roxi- mately five per cent. on express charges, eight per cent. on passenger and Pullman fares. and eight per cent. on oil pipe line charges. For telephone or telegraph messages on which charges are between fifteen and fifty cents, the tax will be five cents. and if the charge is more than fifty cents, the charge will be ten cents. Ten per cent. is assessed on leased wire tolls.

In describing the systematic pilIage of St. Quentin and Rheims, N. Reynald said:
 ''The Germans did not understand the soul of France and did not realize that by their methods they but strengthened our resistance

GERMANS URGED
 TO MORE CONTROL

Coblenz, March 28-(By the Asso- ciated Press s)-The burgomaster of Coblenz has published a notice in the newspapers demanding that the Ger mans in the area of occupation use more self control in their conduct to- ward the American soldiers. especial ly in any acts which might be taken by the Americans as an insult to their uniforms or otherwise. The burgo- master took -his action because of an increase recently in the number of fights between the Americans and ci- williams, an American soldier being stabbed to death in one instance.
 The burgomaster appeals to the pride of the Germans and expresses the hope that it will be unnecessary for the German local authorities to take strict measures.
 Reports reaching American head quarters from various parts Of the oc- cupied zone indicate an increase in he number of rows and fights be- tween soldiers and civilians. In se7 eral districts there have been more signs recently of a hostile feeling against the AnericsnMn than were in eyidence orzyiosss1aa
