INGENIOUS METHODS
INVENTED TO AVOID
PAYING LUXURY TAX
(By The Associated Press.)

Rome, June 19.-Ingenious
methods are invented here to avoid
paying the luxury tax. The tailor
approaches one mysteriously when
his suit is finished and asks if he
wishes to have a bill when he pays
for 1t, in which case he will have
to add $40 luxury tax.
"If, however, you like to give me
5000 here and now l will give you
the suit, and we will say no more
about making out a BILL" he adds.
A foreigner was buying some lace
in Roman shop which cost $24
and, to her surprise, the owner of
the shop said: Would you like me
to make you bill for $3.50 (the
luxury tax begins on articles over
$4) and then If you will give my
litge girl present of $40, that
will make things right. Why
should we either of us pay money
to the government that we are not
obliged?"

OFFENSIVE DELAYED
BY MORALE OF TROOPS

Constantinople, June 10 (by the
Associated Press)-The delay in
the predicted Greek offensive Is
believed in many neutral circles
here to be due to the uncertain
morale of the Greek troops,
coupled with what is reported to be
the fairly good condition of the
Turks. This also is one reason why
the British are not backing up the
Greeks, these circles believe.
The reception of King Constan-
tine at Smyrna, it is pointed out,
was not triumph, while reports
indicate that he has failed to win
over the Venizelos troops in
the Greek army. Quarrels have
been occurring for several months
among the Greeks and various
portions of the army, and the draft
of the senior officers has been re-
placed by adherents of the Con-
stantine party. 9

ARRIVES IN SMYRNA

Smyrna, June 10 (by the Asso-

foreign minister in the Greek cabi-
net, arrived unexpectedly yester-
day. The impression prevailed

by the allies might postpone the
Greek offensive.
A letter received from an Amer

Cilicia and Syria, says that town is
the center of a nationalist mobili-
cation. 81,
Thirty thousand nationalist
troops arrived and 10000 are said
to be we'll equipped with uniforms
furnished by Italians. The letter
adds there are indications the ma

held by the French.
Up to the present King Con-
stantine has not visited Symrna,
but has spent the most Of his time
on the balcony of his villa in the

MANY SETBACKS
Colorado Governor Travels
Under Difficulties From
Colorado Springs toFIood
Stricken City.
Try The Associated Press.l

Denver, Colo, June 19.-Govern-
or Oliver H, Shoup, of Colorado,
knows now, from personal expert
ence, something about how the
Yankee doughboys felt when they
were touring France in those little
hommes 40, chevaux s" vehicles
on the French rail lines running up
to the front. For the governor
when he received news Of how seri-
GUS the Pueblo flood had been
started for the scene Of the dis
aster and despite all obstacles ne
got there. He was disheveled and
battered, chilled and miserable
when he reached the stricken city,
but he was proud of the fact that
he had arrived.
At, Colorado Springs all roads to
Pueblo were reported impossible.
But Governor Shoup believed
differently. He got in touch with
railroad officials and finally they
agreed to press an automobile
truck into service. 1t was trans
formed into the governors special
by fitting it with flanged wheels
such as those on railroad cars.
In this Governor Shoup accom-
panied by Colonel Pat Hamrock.
adjutant general Of Colorado, and
half a dozen newspaper correspond
ents started for Pueblo.
Bridge Found Destroyed.
Just outside of Colorado Springs
the first bridge was found destroyed
and the special took a switch and
transferred over to the D. & r. G..
tracks to continue its trip. At
Fountain, Colo, the Santa Fe
bridge was down. ...
All this time it had been raining
in steady, chilling downpour and
the truck offered but little protec-
ton. Everybody in the special"
was wet to the skin. Everybody
was miserable. But everybody was
cheerful.
At Fountain 1t was necessary for
the special to double back some
| five or six miles to the nearest
switch, one grade was so steep
that the specials engine couldn't
make It and everybody clambered
down and began a long hike across
country, through roads ankle deep
with mud and with the cold, driv-
ing rain still falling.
After a wait OF nearly an hour
the rain still falling, the special
came chugging along to pick up
the party. At Buttes the bridge
was out and had to be repaired
before it could be crossed. A tenn
porary repair good enough to per-
NIT the passage of a light auto
mobile, was made and there the
governor and Colonel HamrocB
said goodbye to their newspaper
men and continued the journey tc
Pueblo in the auto that was frs
to cross over the broken bridge.
But the governor, himself, sums
It all up in telling the story witt
"I got there, didn't I? You be-
lyour life | got there"

LEGISLATURE IN
GEORGIA MEETS
NEXT "WEDNESDAY
Treatment of the Negroes
Is Expected to Occupy
Much of the Time of the
General Assembly.
fBs The Associated PressO

Atlanta, June 19.-Legislation on
finance and law enforcement, with
the latter again bringing to the
fore discussion of treatment OF ne
groes in Georgia, is expected 10
occupy much of the time OF the
general assembly of Georgia Whlcn
convenes in annual session, Wed
nesday, June %.
Hugh NJ. Dorsey, retiring gov
ernor, has indicated that in his
final message to the legislature he
will propose various measures de-
signed to prevent mob violence
and to change the methods of try
ing persons accused of taking part
in lynehings. Former United States
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick.
who takes office as governor June
25, declared in a recent address
that while standing for law en-
forcement, he believed Governor
Dorsey's recent pamphlet on "The
Negro in Georgia" as a "slander
on the state" and that soon after
taking office as governor he would
issue an official reply to it.
One member of the legislature
has publicly announced that he
intends to offer resolutions pro-
viding for an investigation with a
view to remedying conditions, If
found as Governor Dorsey charges,
or impeachment of the governor II
not borne out.
Change in Law Proposed.
Governor Dorsey has discussed
proposals for changing the state
law so that a state trial court
could be convened by the governor
to investigate violence and try the
accused. One plan he suggested,
and which he is said to have been
studying, would provide for such
q court, to be composed of three
to five superior court judges, with
the courts grand and petit juries
drawn from the state at large, so
as to avoid any possible local pre-
judices in dealing with mob cases.
1t also has been indicated that in
his farewell message he will pro-
pose establishment of a state con-
stabulary.
Demands that the state pass
laws covering peonage, now solely
federal offense, have been made
in some of the various letters and
cards published in the Georgia
press during the statewide dis
cussion of Governor Dorsey's PAM
phlet on the negro. which various
state officials have attacked and
defended. The governor has not
publicly indicated his attitude on
the subject.
Legislation under consideration
by the incoming governor is un-
derstood to include the raising of
the deficit of the state through
provisions for a state income tax
or registration tax. Numerous
ways have been proposed and
Governor Hardwick will select one
or several for recommendation

It is Announced,
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
REACHES DECISION
Conditions Throughout the
Country Are the Worst in
Many Years. Thousands
Are Out of Work.
INV The Associated Press.)

Denver. Colo, June 19.-The
opening of the active nation wide
campaign to unionize the steel In
dustry has been definitely post
poned because of the Industrial de-
preston, it was officially an
nounced tonight.
This action was decided upon to-
day by the executive council OF
national and international organl-
cations in the steel industry affil-
lated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
"The campaign will be held In
abeyance," said William Harmon,
secretary Of the council, until we
see more hopeful signs Of improve
ment in the industrial situation.
, Reports received today by our
committee indicate that conditions
|, throughout the country in the
steel industry are the worst In
many years and thousands OF
workers are out of employment.
The United States Steel corpora
ton plants are only operating from
80 to 35 per cent of their capacity.
"At the first encouraging sign OF
Improvement, however, the COM
mittee will be called together and
the active campaign Immediately
launched. Funds are available and
no time will be lost in getting the
work under way"
Wage Reductions.
The council discussed wage re-
ductions in the steel mills, Mr.
Harmon said, and decided that
another attempt at wage reduc'
tions would probably result in the
committee throwing its resources
into the fight to help the work
ers."
Plans for educational work
among the steel workers, he ex'
planned, had been worked out by
the council and within few weeks
a bureau may be opened In any
one of the steel centers.
Besides representatives OF unions
4 in the steel industry, the meeting
of the council today was attendee
by more than a dozen other OIL

ACID To

To US. FARNER RS
High Explosive Rendered
Useless BY the Armistice
Will Be Devoted to Agri-
cultural Purposes.
tBy The Associated Press.)


Washington, June 19.-More
than 100000 pounds of picric
acid, one of the highest known eX-
plcsives, accumulated for war pur-
poses and made useless to the war
department by the armistice, will
be distributed to farmers for ag-
ricultural purposes.
When the war ended the army
had on hand this immense stock
of picric acid and in addition more
than 26,000,000 pounds of INT.
The latter was distributed to vari-
Gus governmental agencies for use
In railroad construction in Alaska,
public roads in the national parks
and various projects on Indian res
ervations. None of the INT was
distributed to individuals and thus
far not a single accident has mark
ed the use or transportation of the
millions of pounds of the high eX-
plosive, according to officials OF
the bureau of mines.
The question Of what to do with
the 100000 pounds of picric
acid puzzled government officers
for. some time and the war depart
ment had almost decided to tow
the explosive out to sea and dump
