President Denies Asking
Wealth Tax by Saturday

Although President Roosevelt
desires action on his tax-the-rich
program before adjournment, he
emphatically stated today that
stories putting him in the position
Of demanding action by Saturday
night were in error.
No such word has gone to Capt.
toll Hill, the President said at his
press conference, and no such
suggestion was made by anybody
at the White House meeting Mon
day night with Congressional lead
ers.
In response to a question as to
whether the raising of revenue
was the primary purpose of his
tax proposal, Mr.. Roosevelt said
the purpose was two-fold-revenue
and the establishment Of a better
social order.
The matter of schedules is en-
tirely up to Congress, he said.
Also the question of whether or
not to have prolonged hearings
rests with leaders on Capitol Hill.
The President refused to con-
cede that if there was no action
by Saturday night the Govern
ment would stand to lose revenue
at the rate of $1,500,000 daily be-
cause of the lapse in nuisance"
taxes.
He inferred that a joint resolu-
ton continuing the nuisance
taxes for a year could be passed
alone or that a short continuing
resolution might be the method.
but he said that was matter of
legislative procedure.
The President declined to dis
cuss the mechanics of considering
the bill,

HIDDEN BAR BILL
To GET D. k. Of
PRESIDENT
Executive Denies He Favors
Screen Around Mixer,
Despite Allen Stand

President Roosevelt today voiced
approval Of the move to abolish
hidden bars in the Capital. He
indicated he would sign the hidden
bar bill which has passed both
Houses of Congress and is on it's
way to the White House.
The hidden bar bill was the first
order Of business at the White
House press conference today.
This measure, which brings mix.
ing drinks out into the open and,
incidentally, acts as a guarantee
OF good measure, cleanliness and
all that, is the result of constant
agitation by The Washington
Times.
The first question asked the
President at the press conference
was this:
"Mr. President, the hidden
bar bill has passed both Houses
Of Congress, and is on its way
here. What do you think of IT."
BILL EXPLAINED
The President, who has been
occupied with tax matters and
other national problems, indi
Gated he had only a Sketchy idea
OF the hidden bar situation. So
he was informed:
ut is q crime in this city
for a bartender to mix a drink
In public. The hidden bar bill
removes the criminal stigma
from the bartender whose Gus.
toners want a cocktail mixed
in front of them"
The President replied that he
thought 1t was a good idea. Then
he wanted to know why, in the
first place, there had ever been
any screens and other view.
breakers placed between the bar.
tender and his trade. He was
told:
"Why, Mr.. President, District
Commissioner George Allen says
that 1t was your own idea"
The President indicated that
Commissioner Allen was entirely
wrong. A newspaper man OBJ.
served:
"Mr. President, the inference
has been that we were getting
some secondhand fruit with our
cocktails -
FavOrs. Plan
The President also seriously an
swered this by indicating very
strongly that a bottle in the
hands Of bartender in the open
was a guarantee that the LIQUOR
was not only what the customer
ordered, but that it had q tax
stamp on ia guarantee against
bootleg liquor.
The hidden bar bill is still at
the Capitol, awaiting action to
smooth over a technical diff.
Guilty. 1t is understood that the
President will affix his signature
to the measure soon after it ar.
riVes in his office.
After that, if there are any
drinks mixed behind closed doors
in the bars, hotels, clubs, night
clubs and other thirst emporia, it
will be because the customers
don't care what they are getting.

Holdups Shou,
Decline Here
In ; Years

Washington's criminal element
is discovering that holdups are
not profitable.
Although there have been
numerous holdups in recent
weeks, police records reveal a
marked decrease in the num-
Der committed annually during
the past three years.
Police believe the explanation
for this decrease is to be found
in the proportionate number of
arrests made in recent years.
In 1888 arrests in holdup cases
totaled $50, slightly more than
so per cent Of the number re-
ported, while arrests have been
made in more than two-thirds
Of the 367 cases reported this
year.
AS a general rule holdups are
reported on an average Of two
a day in Washington.
