state that burns from hot tar, used
by a gang of 80 local men, together
with the shock of the incident, have
made him critically ill.
According to the best information
available Johnson was taken for an
automobile ride with two friends
Sunday evening. The trio on the
way home was stopped by the wait
ing gang just west of town where
the tar heating apparatus of a
street repair company is stationed
johnson was forcibly removed from
the automobile, forced to disrobo
and was given a coating of hot tar
into which feathers were smeared.
The story which Johnson tells
goes on to say that he was told to
leave town and not come back upon
threats of death. A taxicab was
called by one of the gang and
johnson placed therein.
The report that Johnson had as
saulted a 13-year-old white girl
several weeks ago is said to have
given the mob its incentive for
staging the tar party"

4 PER CENT TAX

Washington, Oct. 25.-Norrnal
tax rates of 4 per cent on the first
$4,000 Of income, and s per cent
proved today by the senate without
a record vote. These are the rates
now in force.
No Discussion.
The committee amendment pro-
posing these rates, which the
Democrats thrice sought to amend
yesterday without success, was ap-
proved within a minute after the
senate met There was no discus
sion and the amendments which
Senator Trammell, Democrat, of
Florida, promised yesterday would
be offered, failed to materialiZe.
If the proposed resolution call
ing for continuous sessions is pre-
sented tomorrow, as promised by
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania,
in charge of the tax measure, de-
termined fight against it is expect
ed from the minority side. In this
connection, the question had been
raised whether the debate on it
would not delay the final vote on
the tax measure beyond the time
that it probably could be had by
carrying out the original Republican
plan of night sessions.

CHARLES MUST
BE INTERNED
RoyaIist Coup Fails ;
Former King and
Wife Arrested.

Paris, Oct. 25.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-The allied policy
for the future treatment Of former
Emperor Charles of Austria
Hungary has been decided only as
to one point-that he must be put
in a position where he will be alb
solutely unable again to disturb
the tranquility of Europe, it was
declared in French official circles
today. His interment in Hungary
is accepted by the allies only as
temporary.
To End Menace.
The council of ambassadors,
which will he charged with the
question CT dealing with the for
mer ruler at it's next meeting
probably will take up the problem
of providing him with a home
where his security and the tran
guilty of Europe, so far as any
menace to it from him is con-
cerned, will be equally assured.
Little fear of third attempt by
ChaI les to regain the Hungarian
throne is entertained here. but it
is pointed Ou1 that as long as the
ex-emperor is not definitely elm
mated from the situation his re-
turn may be agitated 70 by polit-
icaI parties and cad to intrigues.
The desire is to put an enl once
for all to such possibilities.
Island ExiIe Suggested.
The exile of Charles to a remote
island, which has been suggested,
is provoking objections based on
the idea that it would e1aggerGte
the Importance of his case and ad-
nit of compaU Isons between him
ard the exleti Eapoleon L Such
action, therefore, it is argued,
would be likely to gain sympathy
for his cause rather than discour-
aging his friends.
On the other hand, great diff

country wing to extenl hcsri-
tality to the ex-monarch AL he
come responsible for him, as he is
regarded as having broken his

that country without giving the
previous notice he had promised.
An alternative solution sug-
gested is that he be kept i'll fort

that the danger of further at

Washington, Oct. 25.-On the eve
of the disarmament conference, with
its host of foreign guests, the ma
tional capital is flooded with boot

groes, whites, foreigners, is Pursu-
ing a systematic sale and distribu-
ton of liquor.
1t can be obtained at from IS to
$40 quart on an hours notice.
Women CIeyerest in Sales.
Women are among the cleverest
of the bootleggers' aids. They gain
entree in select apartment houses,
distributing their illegal wares from
that point.
With the legalization of medicinal
beer, officials believe the capital
will become even "wetter" Al
though dry agents believe they are
gradually beginning to check boot

$50 Quart in Hotels.
/. There is plenty of liquor in
Washington and it can be had even
in hotels. In hotels bell boys charge
$50 a quart.
2. Routes like milkmen's or bak=
ers are established to facilitate dis
tribution Armed autos, sometimes
with a woman for a blind" sneak
booze in from Maryland, PennsyI-
vania and New Jersey.
3. The courts, according to Dis
trict Prohibition Commissioner
Stephenson, due to laxity or over
crowded dockets are hampering en-
forcement. Over 1000 bootleg ar
rests were made in the fiscal year
1921 ending in July.
Since then there are already 500
pending" cases, in $50 cases fines
have been imposed, 200 forfeitures
of collaterals have been made, so
booze autos have been seized, but

Plenty in Congress Offices.
4. Booze can be found in the
congressional office buildings. The
senate office building brand is bit
, better than the house kind, some
, say.
5. Two prominent PENNSYLVANIA
avenue restaurants were filled Sat-
urday night and Sunday morning
early with drunken students-more
public drunks than l have seen in
nearly three years in Berlin, Paris,
Brussels and London.
6. The lid, according to Commits
sioner Stephenson, is tighter largely
! because National Commissioner
Haynes effort to stamp out the
main wholesale supply sources is
making the bOOtleggers' efforts
more difficult.
Stephenson pointed out the Wash

paratively small auto shipments.
The largest haul his office ever
made was a 26 barrel lot hidden in

II admit" he said, there is
plenty of booze to be had and that
it can be obtained in hotels, but I

ever to get real liquor. Most of the
stuff sold is either poisoned or
