Prosecution Is Begun
Of4O0Firms E Evodino
D. 6. Business Tuxes
Warrants Already
Issued for Arrest
Of 20 Operators
By DON S. WARREN.

Wholesale prosecution of business
firms which have refused to pay the
1888 fiscal year business privilege
tax was started today by the Dis
trlct government after a survey
showed that between $50 and 400
concerns have been operating with
out license since the 1910 year
opened last July /.
1nformations have been filed at
Police Court so far upon which war
rants for the arrest of 20 operators
have been issued. Shortly before
noon today none of these had vet
been returned. Additional informa-
tlons were to be filed as fast as Dis
trict officials could prepare the nec-
essary data.
Determination to prosecute the
unlicensed operators was announced
this morning following a conference
between Corporation Counsel Ell
wood H. Seal, Assessor Fred D.
Allen and Allan F. Brooke, admin
lStrator OF the business privilege
tax.
Fines Might Be High.
Mr.. Seal issued instructions that
the information be filed and war
rants sought on the ground that
the defendants had had ample
Time heretofore to make use of other
legal recourse. The Business Priyi-
iege Act provides for a maximum
penalty of a fine of $500 for each
day of operation without a license.
II the maximum penalty were i'm
posed by the court, the sum would
run to high figures in most cases
because the action is against failure
to pay levies imposed last year.
Licenses for the 1899 year were
refused these $50 to 400 because
they had not paid the 1888 levies.
A larger number of business op-
orators was said to have failed to
pay taxes, but the survey showed
that many of these had gone out
OF business, and therefore were not
subject to prosecution for operat-
ing without license this year.
$4,000 Believed Due City.
Mr.. Brooke estimated that the
! AAA AAAo cSiiSNblCd W ldtC
owe the District somewhere between
$50, 900 and $4,000 in taxes.
During the past year the District
collected some 81 900 900 in taxes un-
der the business privilege levy, and,
in addition, received about $270,-
600 in license fees.
Some months ago Justice Bailey in
District Court ruled unconstitution-
al the 1887 business privilege act
in so far as the District had at
tempted to apply the full force of
the tax to Washington business
classed as interstate. At the time,
however. District officials explained
that this did not kill the 1887 act
as an entirety and that the District
would continue to levy and collect
taxes not involved in the ruling on
| interstate transactions.

Hut(hins Resigns
As Governor Of
Stock Exchange
Dispute Over Further
Whitney Case Action
Reported as Cause
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE New
York Stock Exchange today reported
the resignation of one of it's gover-
nors. Robert Maynard Hutchins,
president of the University of Chi
cago.
Mr.. Hutchins was one of three
new governors representing the
public" under the new constitution
of the exhange, adopted last May.
Usually informed Wall Street
circles understood his resignation
followed a dispute relating to pos
sible further action in the case of
s,ichard Whitney, former exchange
president, now a prisoner in Sing
Sing.
While exchange spokesmen fatty
refuse for the time being" to COM
ment on the circumstances sur
rounding the resignation, it had
been reported that a meeting of the
board last Wednesday was attended
with some acrimony.
At that meeting a majority of the
board voted not to bring to task
former governors and members of
the exchange mentioned in Secur-
tiles and Exchange Commission in
vestigation as having had suspicion
of Whitney's precarious financial
position prior to his exposure.
Mr.. Hutchins' resignation was the
first hint of an internal rift in the
stock exchanges new regime since
the liberal forces last spring swept
into power on a program of mod
ernizing" the administration for
closer cooperation with the Fed
eral authorities.
AS part of the program of re-
orienting the policies of the ex-
change for improvement in public
relations, away from the old "pri-
vate" club traditions, provision was
made to give the public direct
voice on the governing board.
Besides Mr.. Hutchins, the public
representatives are Gen. Robert E.
Wood, president of Sears, Roebuck
& Co., Chicago, and Carle C. Con-
way, head of the Continental Can
Co., New York, who was chairman
of a committee which recommended
the administrative reform program
after study last winter.

Lewis for Liberals
In 1910, Silent on
Third-Term Issue
Non-Portison League
Backs Progressive
Candidates

Maintaining silence on the third
term issue, John L. Lewis. chair
man of Labor's Non-Partisan
League, announced today that the
organization will work within the
Democrativ party "for the nominal
ton of progressive candidates for
the Office of President and Vice
President in 1910.
The league, which backed the can
didacy of President Roosevelt in
1896, plans a militant membership
campaign and will hold a conven-
ton in 1899 which will decide the
details of its course.
Mr.. Lewis. asked specifically for
views on third term for President,
said: Il wouldn't have the answer to
that question. Such matters are to
be decided by the convention"
Asked what would happen if the
Democratic National Convention did
not nominate progressive" cahdi-
dates, Mr.. Lewis responded that that
also was question for the conven-
ton to decide.
The Lewis pronouncement was
made at a special press conference
called at headquarters of the United
Mine Workers of America in the old
University Club Building.
Statement Presented.
AS the newspaper men gathered,
Mr.. Lewis presented to them a
mimeographed statement, which he
described as so definite doubt that
it will need amplif1cation. Once the
assembled newsmen digested the
700-word declaration, however, a
barrage of questions was loosed.
"It is essential that all the liberal
and progressive forces of the country
unite to maintain and extend the
economic and political gains of re-
cent years for the preservation OF
democracy" the preamble of the
statement said.
Effective January /, 1899, the
membership of Labor's NonPartisan
League will be broadened to include
and. accept all workers by hand or
brain. Any American approving its
tenets may join. Membership
hitherto has been limited to Or
ganized labor"
Major Purposes Outlined.
Explaining then that the member
ship campaign would follow, the
statement said that in midyear of
1889 national convention would be
held in a city to be designated later.
The conventions major purposes
were outlined as follows:
l. To authorize the league men,
bership and candidates designated
by the league to work within the
