5 CENTS MORE ON
ALL BAR DRINKS
Retail Liquor Dealers Agree
to Increase to Meet
Government Tax
ANXIOUS TO PAY
SHARE OF WAR COST

John Barleycorn received an offlclal
boost In this city yesterday. At a meet
iEg OF the Retail Liquor Dealers Pro.
tective Association, held in Irish-Amer-
lean Hall, IL was decided TO raise the
rrice cents on all convivial spirits
served over the bar. Bottled goods, ex-
cepting beer, were advanced 30 cents
and upwards. These prices went into
effect In every saloon in Wilmington
today.
Members Of the association engaged
In criticism over the manner IN which
the government handled the increase in
the liquor tax. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the liquor men had not
been given any warning OF the coming
increase, many Of them not even know
ing that President Wilson had signed
the war revenue bill.
The new increase entails consider
able detail work for the saloon keeper
and much OF IL is entirely new to him,
explained one member. He sad that
the local branch of the Internal Rev
enue Department has been unable 30
give the liquor men any assistance N
the matter, as officials say no instruc-
tlons on the subject have reached them
as yet and they therefore. do not know
how to advise the saloonkeeper. This,
II was pointed out, added greatly TO
the difficulties VIII the liquor men
had TO face and overcome.
''If the government is in need Of the
revenue to help along In the expenses
OF the war, no one Is more ready TO
stand his share OF the burden than the
saloon keeper OF Wilmington" said Ed
ward Krause, president OF the associa-
tion. in discussing the situation today.
"As this is the prevailing attitude
among the liquor men, many Of them
think they have been accorded unfair
treatment by not being given moro
time in which 10 prepare themselves
for the increase In taxes"
Mr.. Krause declared that he did not
think the advance In prices would keep
trade away from saloons.
He considered that the duty Of muni-
clpal authorities, and that the associa-
tiOn would stand behind the latter in
any action they might take to bring
about better conditions.
81 have travelled all over the cOun-
try" added Mr.. Krause. land / think
am truthful when l say that conditions
are better In Wilmington than In any
other city Of its size in the country
Our principal difficulty here is with
people who come from the surrounding
dry territory"

Hold Up
POLICE ON HUNT
FOR BOLD THIEF

One of the most daring daylight rob
berries in years took place yesterday
when an unidentified man entered the
real estate office of Morris and Tazc-
well, No. West Eighth street, bound
and gagged Miss Vera McCafferty, a
bookkeeper and stenograpner, and es-
capped with sis in cash.
II is the third midday crime Of this
nature committed in three consecutive
days. On Tuesday at noon Mrs. J. B.
Cooney was assaulted and robbed In
her apartments at No. 900 West street,
and on Monday Mrs. Susan Blest, 81
years old, was attacked in her home,
No. it47 French street by man whu
was scared off.
Yesterdays robbery occurred at
Eighth and Market streets while the
streets were crowded with pedestrians
making purchases on Dollar Day." To
guard against detection, however, Miss
McClafferty's assaiisnt pulled down the
shade, and upon leaving the building
locked the door and took the key.
Walter S. Tazewell, a member Of tho
firm, return ng from lunch, found
Miss McCafferty unconscious in a cor
ner with part Of an old busting rag
crammed into her mouth and shreds nj
It torn to bind her hands behind her
back. Miss McCafferty could not re-
member how long the man had been
gone. She said that after binding and
gagging her he threw her TO the floor
saying with an oath that II she al
tempted to make an outcry he would
cut her throat. Mr.. Tazewell express
ed the belief that the man knew some
thing Of the routine work Of the Of
flce. as this is the time Of the month
when the collections are very heavy.

II the City Fathers agree to buy every
piece OF effective fire apparatus owned
by the various companies in Whining
I ton acco ding TO a statement made by
/ Edward F. Kane at the committee meet
ing Of City Council last night. Mr..
Kane acted as spokesman for the ex-
ecutive committee OF the Volunteer
F.remen's Association.
Accompanied by Michael Cannon,
George W. Sasse, Joseph Thomas, J.-
and other members OF the executive
committee, Mr.. Kane laid the case be-
! fore Council, urging that the flremen
be given a fair deal by the City Fathers
n the bill passes the Legislature au-
thOrizes Council to purchase the appa'-
atus from the volunteer fire companies.
The committee representing the fire.
men objected TO two points In the bill
as Il new stands They were the word
several" in section one, and the clause
'as the Council In is discretion may
deem necessary" In section four. Both
OF these instances, fremen say. make
IL possible for Counoa TO buy the ap-
paratus OF only a few and not all the
companies They contended that II
Council were 10 purchase ony the
equipment OF certain companies II
would mean that the remaining equip
ment would be relegated 10 the junk
pile. as no industrial concern has any
use for old IRE apparatus.
In an effort TO see that every faction
was satisfied when the time for pur-
chase arrives, Mr.. Kane suggested that
a committee be appointed by Council
TO ascertain the value OF the apparatus
on hand in the different fire companies
Senator Robertson, father OF the paid
nre department bill, asked Mr.. Kans
whether he thought Il fair 10 ask for
Council TO buy apparatus that to a
lrge extent would prove worthless TO
the city Mr.. Kane replied that the fre
would not expect Council
to purchase eyeryth ng the fire com
panies have, but that they demanded
all OF the effective equipment should
be bought from all the companies rath-
er than the several" as stated In the
bill.
Senator Robertson then agreed II
would be a wise move to change the
wording OF the bill on the two points
mentioned above. This was done in the
presence OF the committee OF nremen.
"That was the easiest amendment TO
bin l have ever seen," oommntel
SEenator Robertson, after the change
had been effected.
eve are ntrely back OF the bill as
n now stands. II only remains for the
CITY Fathers TO act fair In the matter. !"
declared MFR. Kane, and his colleagues
nodded their assent.
