GUT IN SUGAR
LEVY URGED

Junior Owens. secretary Of the
American Bottlers of Carhonated
Beverages, has mailed to 300 con-
Germs bottling soft drinks for the
American trade, copies OF a brief
which his association will submit
to the special session of Congress
to secure a reduction in the tariff
on sugar.
This is the first move in the
fight Of the soft drink industry
to prevent and increase in the man.
ufacturing costs of products, 80
per cent of which must be sold to
the consumer for a roof price
of a nickel a bottle. According
to the brief. 1900 separate ccm.
panies, 10000 full.time employees
and an investment of 5000 900 900
are menaced by the desire of sugar
interests in continental United States
to effect increases in the present
sugar tariff.
The beverage industry" says
the brief, lis now paying on its
sugar consumption a tax OF $l1,32S,.
OO0-equal to SOS per cent on its
capital of 5000 600 900; on which it
is earning less than 6 per cent now.
Its absorption ll1nitA have been
reached already. An advance OF the
tax can only operate further to
reduce its returns.
This industry exceeds the con.
tinental sugar industry in employ
ment afforded. 1t, therefore. asks
as much protective consideration"
Referring to the present duty Of
1.76 cents per pound on raw sugar.
which has been effective for the
past six years, the American Bot
tiers point out that it has resulted
in a decrease of $40. 900 900 In the
annual revenue which the Govern.
ment receives from this duty and
which 1t must make up through
other taxes and that 1t has stimulated
no appreciate increase in the pro-
duction Of sugar within the United

LIQUOR INCIDENT
ST|RS CONGRESS
Members Say Law Must Ap-
ply to All, but Are Not
Pressing Case.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Members Of Congress are astir over
the accusations made against two Rep
resentativeS charged with smuggling
intoxicantS into the United States. II
brings the prohibition law closer to the
offlcial group than it ever has been.
And it has forced members who are
quoted publicly to say that the law
must be enforced equally against off,
Gals and private citizens.
But is an open secret that If the
Department of Justice had been con-
suited in the first instance there would
have been no tampering with congress
sional privileges. The department is not
prosecuting or prosecuting congressman
just now any more than it is using the
Jones-Stalker law against the individual
citizen not himself engaged in the liquor
traf1c from a commercial viewpoint.
Not After Flask Toters.
The general impression has gone out
that the Government will arrest any one
caught carrying flask on the hip. This
is within the right of the Government
under the new law, but it is not the
policy. One reason is that the Govern
ment considers it too expensive at the
moment to engage in wholesale arrests,
and therefore 1t isn't fair to arrest a
few and not all. But the main reason is
that the Government considers it far
mare important at the moment to use its
funds and power to catch those who are
part of the organized liquor trafic-the
bootleggers and those higher up who
control the trade.
II, therefore. the law is not being en-
forced against private citizens who
carry few bottles for their personal
use, it is not likely to be applied against
members of Congress. But since United
States Attorney Tuttle. in New York.
has started something, it is not discreet
for the department here to squelch the

lions will be dropped. but it would not
be surprising to see an argument made

SABBATH PROPOSES

CHICAO. April Resolutions in

discussion as to what Is meant by free
dom Of the port" It does not involve
immunity of baggage from search, but
simply priority to those who have 1t
SO they may 60 ahead of the long line
waiting for customs inspection, and
thus have their effects examined ex-
peditiously. The Constitution provides
that members Of Congress shall be i'm
mune from arrest when going to and
from sessions. This has been variously
construed at different times in Ameri
can history. 1t might be contended that
this originally gave the members of
Congress immunity from examination of
baggage. 1t Is novel Interpretation.
but is being talked about just the same.
For if the Constitution makes 1t i'm
possible for a member of Congress to be
held up for violating a traffic law when
he is on his way to the Capitol it might
make it questionable whether Gus
toms officer had the right to detain
member officially when engaged in
official business.
Official Business Rights.
The members of Congress in question
had gone to Panama on official bust
ness. Persons in other branches OF the
Government are compelled to submit to
but there is no provision in the Constl-
tuition which gives them immunity from
arrest either. The right Of members
of Congress to do as they pleased would
be challenged if it extended to viola
tions of law. but in this case the cues
ton arises as to whether the right OF
search or detention of member OF
Congress on an official journey can be
construed to have been within the
phrase. going and coming to a session
There is no clear meaning either as to
what is meant by the word session"
There is a case in the courts now in
which it is argued that session means
only a period of Congress and not sim
ply day-by-day meeting. The upshot
of the matter is that while members OF
Congress will be loath to say so publicly,
they will not lend much support to the
idea of making an example of their
members, much as it will be the effort
of some of the wet organizations not to
lose one of the best opportunities they
ever have had to expose what they con-
slider the hypocrisy of men who per-
sonally are wet but vote dry.

RELIGIOUS FANATIC
sought FOR KILLING

Kansas City. Aug. 31.-(P-Police
today centered their efforts on the
apprehension of a religious fanatic in
the belief that his arrest would solve
the double Staying Of Miss Ruth
Laughlin. "a. and her escort. Paul l..
Odell, 10. whose bodies werc found
yesterday on Cliff drive.
The fanatic. known only as Fred,
became acquainted with Miss Laugh
lin at a tent meeting several days
ago and proposed immediate
riage. Threatening recurrent propos-
ais made the girl uneasy and she told
members Of her family Of the unwel-
come attention.
Odell'S motor car was found last
night at a street intersection two
miles from the scene Of the murders.
Police said they believed Odell was
shot while attempting to protect Miss
Laughlin from a criminal attack. Her
body. bearing marks which indicated
she had been choked and beaten, was
found more than a block from that
Of Odell's which led to the conjecture
she had attempted to escape from the
assailants after her escort had been
shot.
The county coroner reported. after
an examination. that Miss Laughlin
had not been attacked.
