COMMITTEE TAKES
 UP REVENUE BILL FOR CLOSE STUDY
Boost Non-Resident Hunting
 License Graduated Fur Schedule Is Proposed,

In a joint meeting of the House and. Senate Ways and Means Com mittees last evening, the tentative revenue measure devised by the House Committee as announced in The Empire last Saturday was taken up for consideration. While no final action was taken, the conferees agreed on the greater portion of the schedule previously agreed upon.
 The proposal for a nonresident fur buyers license was dropped at least temporarily and a special com- mittee of four members was ap- pointed to prepare a tax schedule on furs, graduated according to the value of the several kinds of pelts.
 Raise Hunters License
 Nonresident hunting licenses were given a 100 per cent boost over the original figures announced by the committee, being raised from $50 to $100 each. Many of the members were inclined to favor an even heav- fer tax in order to meet the situa- tipn created by the trophy hunter,i
 
 but refrained from pressing their views.
 SaIesmen Appear
 In order to protest against the proposed tax on travelling salesmen of $50. for each firm represented. number of travelling. men were pres ent and made their plea through H. L. Faulkner. who stated that from court decisions on similar laws en- acted in other states, he was, con vinced that such tax would be un- constitutional. Several of those pres ent> stated that the imposition of such tax would result in the with drawal of some of the houses doing comparatively business from the Territory Final action in the matter was deferred by the committee.
 The proposed tax on newspapers was eliminated by the committee. The rate on ores was discussed a short time but no decision was reached before adjournment.

MANY STORES. TO BE ESTABLISHED
 ALONG RAILROAD
Brown and Hawkins Corpora
 ton Has Big Plans for The Westward.

A chain of stores from Seward to Fairbanks. mercantile establishments to the Westward. also in several of the most promising. mining districts of tho interior. not adjacent to the Government railroad. are prospec- tive plans of Brown and Hawkins Corporation, according to Charles E. Brown, who passed through on the steamer Admiral Watson for Sew ard after having spent the past seven months in New York City finarcing tho new company.
 "The firm has been incorporated for S200O,O00 and we will enlarge Westward ccction of Alaska said MT Brown. giving tentative sketch of the future operations of the firm of Brown and Hawkins Corpora tion.
 "At present. as is well known. we have two large stores, one at Sew ard and one at Anchorage. Both of these stores have large warehouses in connection. We will establish new stores along the Government railroad-just where has not been definitely setttled-and we will also have branch stores in other Interior sections.
 Cold Storage at Seward "At Seward, we will erect cold storage plant, plans having been made for this already. Seward is li. E., ;,ol, ,,tr tr, the Westward. easily accessible to the transportation lines operating steamers provided with cold storage plants, by which we can ship our fish.
 "The location for one or more stores to the westward of Seward has not been decided upon, it all de- pending upon steamer transporta- tion Before coming North. l went to Portland and had long business the mail contract from Seward to Dutch Harbor. Dr. Smith informed me that he would place suitable steamer on the Westward route. with Seward as the eastern terminus. and would be able to take care Of all freight and passenger business. For the past two years. only gas boats have been on the route, boats not suitable for anything but carry ing the mail and express, not accom- modatinga the freight or passenger business.
 Oil Gusher Wanted
 we had made plans for a steam CT ourselves to operate from Sew ard to the Westward, but upon prom ise of Dr. Smith that he would place Ia steamer on that run, have held our plans off to see if he will act
 The Westward section has prac- tically been abandoned since the little steamer Dora was withdrawn from that route by the steamship company It is a rich section and we intend to get into it at once, and will have one large store and several smaller trading posts, per haps later some sort of fish plant.
 "If oil is struck to the Westward,
 
 great influx of capital and men. Just strike a gusher and watch South western Alaska. All through the East and Middle West, not taking into consideration the West, eyes are fixed on the possibilitie of oil being found in large quantities in Alaska The Territory is just be- ginning to come back, as they say, and hundreds are coming North to locate. the question being now to find something for these newcomers to do."
 Asked whether the Brown and Hawkins Corporation expected to enter the Southeastern Alaska terri tory, MT. Brown said: Not at pres ent."

New York Friends Of Couple
Surprised to Hear of
Decree in Paris.
SHE REMAINS IN EUROPE
Former Collector, Now Prac-
tising Law in French Capt.
tai, Is Here OH Visit.

Friends of Dudley Field Malone and
Mrs. Malone learned with surprise
yesterday that decree dissolving
their marriage was obtained by Mrs.
Malone in Paris last summer. AT the
time Mr.. Malone was practising law
in Paris. and Mrs. Malone's father,
former United States Senator James
A. O'Gorman, was also in that city.
French courts will grant decree
of divorce on several grounds, and it
could not be learned yesterday which
was employed by Mrs. Malone. She
has not returned to this country since
the judgment was granted.
Friends of the couple were aware that
they had not lived together for several
years. 1t was understood that the prin-
cipal objection to a divorce came from
Mr.. and Mrs. O'Gorman, and was based
on religious grounds, the family having
been prominent in Catholic affairs in
this CITY, Mr.. O'Gorman spent three
months in Europe last summer. Upon
his return to this country he described
his vacation abroad as the best he had
ever had because it was the first he
bad taken in fifteen years.
Mr.. Malone has been practising lau IN
Paris for more than q year in association
with the law firm OF Hays & Wadhams
of this city. He has been in New York
for the last several weeks and is stay
ing at tlss Vanderbilt Hotel. When
asked about the divorce last night he
said:
"Mrs. Malone did me the honor to be-
come my wife and we are very good
friends. That is all care to say"
The name of Dudley Field Malone first
became generally known when President
Wilson, in his first term. appointed him
IN Assistant Secretary OF state and later
Collector of the Port of New York. While
Collector some of his criticisms of the
policy in Washington failed TO arouse
enthusiasm there, and soon sfterward he
resigned his collectorship, giving as his
reason that he wished to devote his whole
time to the cause OF woman suffrage In
the late gubernatorial campaign he ran
for Governor as the nominee Of the
Farmer-Labor party. ~

VIENNA, Dec. Using as an excuse
the rising prices of all necessities of
life and the disturbed economic condi-
tions obtaining in Austria. the extreme
elements here are trying TO bring
about revolution and proclaim a So
cialistic republic. Rioting of a more
serious nature than anything Austria
has known since the downfall OF the
Hapsburg monarchy occurred in vi
emma to-day in connection with big
demonstration by workmen.
The demonstration was inspired bv
the Socialist party, but accord ding to
scre officials its execution has been
traced to Communist sources. Several
thousand workers from the suburbs OF
Vienna marched TO the Parliament
House, smashing windows en- route, and
submitted to the Government a list Of
demands which included the seizure Of
all foreign currency and State confisca-
tion of all gold in Austria, including gold
utensils in churches and Inonasteries, as
well as heavier taxes on wealth and the
immediate Introduction of chlldren's
insurance scheme.
Count Czernin, formerly Austro-Hun-
garian Foreign Minister. speaking to-
day at meeting here designed to rally
the Conservative element against the
Socialists declared that If chaos result
ed In Austria from the present move
ment the Entente Powers might decide
to divide Austria among the neighbor-
ing states.
Count CZernin caused a sensation
when he declared he had private infor-
nation from France ard England that
this evencuality was now being dis
cussed. These statements by him, how
ever, are regarded as extreme by think
ing elements here.
