Manchester, N. H., March 7.-(UP)-With the fate of the 1O5-year-old Amoskeag Manu- featuring company-Americas largest single textile unit-in the balance, employees balloted today on the question of acceptance of a new working agreement that would permit reopening of the plant.

MD. BEER TAX
PLAN FOUGHT

ANNAPOLIS, March 21.-Menl.
bers of the Baltimore city delega.
tion in the general assembly are
striving today to head off a tax
of 81 per barrel on beer, voted
favorably by the senate finance
committee.
The city delegation is reported
attempting to affect a compro.
mise of so cents per barrel on
beer, a floor tax of two cents a
gallon on whisky, l per cent auto
mobile titling tax, and a 10 per
cent tax on admissions, cos
metics, patent medicines and in,
surance policy sales.
To add to the troubles Of the
city delegation, the house of dele.
gates killed a proposal to tax
cigarettes at the rate of two
cents per package. This was one
form of tax the city delegation
favored since it would not hurt
the city dweller any more than
it would be the rural population
At the present time, Maryland
has no State tax on beer.
However, the House and Sen
ate apparently are headed fol
a deadlock on relief taxes. The
situation is further complicated
by what is going to be a three
way fight in the Senate over the
tax proposals. The city delega
tions are opposed to taxes or
beer and whisky; a bloc of l;
senators is pledged to fight fol
those taxes,

Walter ]. Roger, 80, foreman Of
carriers at the Washington Post
office, was stabbed in the neck,
chest, shoulder and abdomen by
an enraged colored carrier at the
PoStoffice today, and now is in a
critical condition in Casualty Hos
pital.
Fourteen stitches were taken in
the wounds, physicians said. Lit
tie hope is held for his recovery,
it was said.
The man who police say ad-
mitted the assault, Mckinley j..
Anderson, colored, 81, Of 1700 Fiji
teenth ST.. N. W., left the post Of
flee at North Capitol Street and
Massachusetts, Avenue and walked
to the First precinct station at
New Jersey Avenue and E Street
Northwest, where he surrendered.
Police said he handed the pocket
knife with which Roger was
stabbed over to them at that
time.
Refuses to Talk
Meanwhile, William D. Han
back, an assistant superintendent
in charge Of mails, had aided
Roger to a taxi and rushed him
to Casualty Hospital.
Capt. Harvey G. Callahan, com.
manding the First Precinct, said
Anderson admitted the stabbing
but refused to make a formal
statement to police as to what so
enraged him that he stabbed
Roger in the back as he was walk
ing into his office.
Captain Callahan said that he
learned Anderson had been or
dered by Roger to aid another
carrier in sorting the latter's mail
Some time later, the captain said
the second carrier ordered Ander
son to sort out his own mail and
Roger also gave similar orders sew
eral times.
Gives Self Up
Upon giving the last order, Cap
tain Callahan said, Roger started
into the office, just off the sorting
room in which approximately 1OC
carriers and others were working
when Anderson stabbed him from
behind. It was not known which
wound was inflicted first.

IFD'| FLOODS WASH OUT MANY HIGHWAY BRIDGES
D Making Week-End 7rOUeI Uncertain
BELIEVED
UNDAMAGED
BYFL00D

Historic Chain Bridge took
such a battering from trees and
drift in the angry flood OF the
Potomac that it will be weeks,
maybe months, before it will be
reopened to traffic.
This was decided today by En-
gineer Commissioner Dan l. Sui
tan, Director of Highways Her
bert c. Whitehurst and Engineer
of Bridges Clifford r. Whyte
after an examination Of the anci-
ent span.
Colonel Sultan said they found
four important parts Of the bridge
had been broken and many minor
parts bent out of line.
The examination, Colonel Sui
tan said, was confined to the
superstructure of the bridge. He
said that early next week, when
the river has sufficiently receded,
a platform will be swung be-
meath the bridge for critical
examination of the piers and
lower structure.
Colonel Sultan said damage to
the piers was unlikely as they
were in excellent shape. He said:
"The bridge took a severe
battering from treSs and drift.
It will be a matter Of weeks,
or maybe months, before we
will reopen it. The cost Of re-
pairing will not be excessive,
but this a question Of time
rather than money"
Colonel sultan pointed out
that it would take some time to
assemble the necessary equip
ment for repairing the bridge.
The Commissioner declared that
the condition of the bridge bore
out predictions made in planning a
new span to replace the ancient
structure. So far as could be as
certained, Colonel Sultan said, the
piers are in excellent shape and
can readily be used for the new
span. The new bridge, he said,
also must be raised, and estimated
as a minimum that the elevation
should be eight feet on the Vir-
ginia shore and four feet on the
District shore.
An item of $25O,O0O to start the
new Chain Bridge is included in
the 1887 fiscal year District budget
now pending in Congress. The
total cost of the bridge will be
$350,000.
The old bridge carries the water
main which supplies Arlington
county, Va, and this will not be
affected by the closing or the re
pair work, it was said.
