LUXURY BUYING Is
HEAVY IN NEW YORK
People of Gotham Spend 81, 200, OO0,.
600 for Unnecessaries. Taxes On
Items $1O,5OO,OOO a Month.

Luxury taxes aggregating $40, $780,
900 a month are being paid by the
people of New York city, according
to William H. Edwards, United States
collector of internal revenue. This
indicates that luxury buying in New
York is going on at the rate of ST.
100000 year.
More revenue is being derived
from ice cream sodas and other small
sales which carry penny or two of
tax than there is from the sale of
motor cars, diamonds and other luXu-
ries, the collector reports. Expen-
sive perfumes and cosmetics also
bring in large revenues.
In January the borough of Man
hatten alone paid S783,891.43 in
amusement taxes. Last December a
huge sum was received through the
sale of candies. A much larger reve-
nue., however, came from dealers in
jewelry, furs and automobiles. -

Man With Small Bank Account and
Unlimited Confidence a Plunger.
NEW YORK.-With bank ac-
count of SO and unlimited conf
dence in his ability to get hundreds
of thousands more, E. A. .Moulton,
of New Rochelle, a $50 a week en-
ploye of steamship firm, startled
the congressional committee investi-
eating the relations of the Morse in
terests with the United States ship
ping board with a recital of how he
negotiated with Chas. w. Morse in
an attempted purchase of four
steamships valued at $75O,000 each.
Moulton said he gave Charles w.
Morse personal checks for $4,000
toward the purchase. The checks
were dated in advance. Reminded by
Representative Tom Connally, of
Texas, that he had dpreviously admit
ted having only $40 in a bank, Moul-
ton said he intended to put the money
up to cover the checks.
Moulton said the deal collapsed
when the United States government
refused to transfer the ships to Can
adian registery and that Mr.. Morse
released him from his obligation and
he in turn gave Mr.. Morse release.

 It early became evident that the scarcity of nurses was te be the outstanding need of the fight against influenza. Rich and poor alike found difficulty in procuring nurses. Git ies and towns everywhere sent out frantic calls for nurses and doctors.
 To partially meet this need Red Cross chapters temporarily disband-
 f 1f kN nursing throughout the southwestern division-thc states of Missouri. Kan sas, Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma. Upwards of 1000 women in these classes who for weeks had been re- ceiviEg instruction on what to do in just such an emergency literally and figurativcly rolled up their sleeves and stepped into the breach. They became lay women helpers working under the direction of such graduate nurses as the Red Cross and the health authorities were able to muster. Cases are on record where such women worked S6 and 4s hours at a stretch without relief in car ing for flu sufferers. Sixty-seven Red Cross public health nurses as well as the instructors of the home nursing classes added their efforts Some worked franticaliy i6, IS and even 20 hours out of the day. They know no office hours.
 Nevertheless the number of flu and pneumonia eases rose. Emergen- cy hospitals were started by Rcd Cross workers. Churches were inn pressed as temporary abiding places for the sick. Diet kitchens were established and in the larger towns and cities women of the ked Cross

SEIZURE OF LIQUOR

60,O00 Gallons in Various Warehouses is Too Much
 Temptation

Westerville, Ohio, March 6.-Seiz- ure by the federal government of all liquor stocks in bond is urged by the Anti-Saloon league. in state ment issued here tonight, by Ernest H. Cherrington, secretary of the league executive committee. The statement says.
 "Now that prohibition has gone into effect everything which the government can do to make 1t effect i've should be done.
 "With over 60 million gallons lof whiskey in bonded warehouses there is a constant temptation to devise ways and means of utilizing that liquor. in spite of the law. More over, so long as that whiskey is in existence, those who own it ,realiz- ing as they do, it's commercial value, except for prohibition, will be con- stantly tempted to use millions of dollars in efforts to revile and break down the prohibition law"
 It was said the Anti-Saloon league may ask congress for legislation authorizing purchase of all bonded liuuors.

Japs to Abandon
 Siberian Effort
 Thru Red Fears

Honolulu. Mar. 6-The Japanese government has decided to abandon the Siberian expedition in line with American policy, according to cable message from Tokio received by Shin no, Japanese language newspaper, here toady.
 The first detachment of Japanese troops will leave Vladivostok March 20, simultaneously with the de- parture of the last Czecho-Slovak troops, the message said.
 The soviet governments peace of- fer to Japan, according to the cable gram. asks recognition of Lenine's defacto government and resumption of full diplomatic relations, prom ising to end terrorism simultaneous ly with allied acquiesence with the of fer.
 Washington, Mar. 5.--Deeply con, cerned over the rapid westward tide of bolshevism, Japan is understood to desire creation of buffer state between it and soviet Russia. It is believed here that erection of such state may be made one of the first considerations in any future relations between Japan and Russia. To what extent this has determined the policy of Japan to withdraw its troops from Siberia, however. off cials here are unable to say.
 Establishment of an autonomous Si- berian state centered about lrktusS, has been contemplated recently by the bolshevik, it is said by off cials. Such state, while fol- lowing the political outlines of the present government would, according to the advices, still possess suffi- ciently independent character to satisfy any Japanese desire for a buffer between Japan and bolshevik controlled Russia.

With liquor in practically every home
and as easily purchased as any COM
modify OF those days, there was no
great amount OF drunkenness. The
present day friends of alcohol have
used this fact as basis for the argu-
ment, that IL liquor was sold as open
ly today, there would not be so many
evil effects
The friends OF temperance finally
succeeded in having a prohibitOry law
enacted and placed upon the Statutes
of Maine. 1t would almost seem that
the only effect OF this new law for a
number OF years was to segregate the
liquor business from the old time gro
