LONDON, Jan. 7.-while lighting

seems to have been shell-shocked into
an ever-increasing use Of drugs.
In the Limehouse district, which is
London's Chinatown. drug traffic has
grown to such an extent that China
men will take long chances at snug

in great quantities.
Recently a Chinaman arrived on a
ship from the Orient. wearing shoes

scached. In each heel was a spring

! ounces Of opium.
Several white men were hailed be-
fore the police court charged with
having % ounces OF mOrphia, enough
to kill 10000 persons. Others arrest
were charged with having hundreds
4 or tubes Of cocaine and other mar
cotics.
Authorities are convinced there is a
center for drug traffic located in Bel
gum or France. In a suitcase O
man staying at a fashionable hotel
they found a letter which said, IL

Higher SURTAX
NOW PROPOSED
Treasury Would Raise Levy
on Those Ranging From
$4,000 to $4,000
HOUSE COMMITTEE
AGAINST PROGRAM

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. A.
dividual net incomes ranging be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 are in
prospect If Congress approves sug-
gestions OF the Treasury Department.
It became known yesterday. These
increases are proposed to offset the
loss in revenue in prospect from the
reduction of the present maximum
surtax rate Of per cent to 32 per
cent.
Theproposal to increase the surtax
rates in the lower brackets, however,
as well as other new taxes proposed,
is meeting with opposition from
members of the House Ways and
Means Committee. Secretary Of the
Treasury Mellon has been asked to
appear before the committee again
tomorrow and it is probable that he
will ask If It is not possible to repeal
the excess profits tax. reduce the
higher surtaxes and cut the transpor-
tatlon tax in half without imposing
any new taxes other than an in
creased corporation income tax.
All the details Of the proposed new
surtax rates have not been made
public. Apparently 1t is intended that
the present surtax rate on that por-
tion of the net income exceeding
$4,000, but not exceeding $4,000,
shall remain l per cent. the program
being also not to disturb present
normal tax rate on per cent on the
net income under $4,000 and per
cent upon the amount over that
sum.
The present surtax rate on the
portion OF the net income exceeding
$4,000 and not exceeding $4,000 is
per cent A rate OF 3 per cent applies
on the amount between $4,000 and
$4,000 and 4 per cent on the amount
between $4,000 and $4,000. The
rate advances 1 per cent for each

She knew only that Gabriel had

ton of amendments to the Agricul
tural Credits Bill was begun by the
Senate yesterday, but a vote on pas
sage of the measure, which is
framed by the administration as a
substitute for the original Norris
bill, went over
Two Of a score OF pending amend
ments were adopted after a hard
fight. One. offered by Senator

OF agricultural producers, and the
other. offered by Senator Harrison
Democrat, Mississippi. would au-
thorize the corporation to take UP
$500, 100000 in bonds of the Fed
eral Farm Loan Board.
The Smith amendment was con-
tested hotly. Senators Harrison and
Williams, both Democrats, of Mis-
sissippi; La Toilette, Republican.
Wisconsin, and Ashurst, Democrat,
Arizona. led the opposition and
fought for direct loans to individual
producers. The amendment was
adopted, 43 to 22, with party lines
divided.
Senators Smith. Lenroot, Republi-
can, Wisconsin; Smoot. Republican.
Utah. and Simmons, Democrat
North Carolina, championed the
Smith amendment. Individual loans
to all OF the farmers Of all the
States, they declared, would break

The Harrison amendment was
adopted without a record vote or
particular opposition. Senator Har-
rison said the farm loan board had
applications for loans aggregatine
