Drinking Law
Change Killed

legislation extending the
Sunday morning closing hour
for sale of liquor by the drink
was killed by the House Dis
trict Committee following a
prolonged discussion of local
drinking habits.
The bill, sponsored by Rep
resentative Everett M. Dirk
sen (R.) of Illinois, under
which the closing hour would
have been extended from
midnight to 2 a. m. was
IabIed by the committee by a
vote of seven to three.
The adverse action was
taken by the committee de-
spite a communication from
the District Commissioners
approving the intent of the
bill.
Dirksen told the committee
that liquor is now being boot
legged by taxi drivers after
midnight on Sunday morn
ingS, and also that hotel own
ers would suffer losses on the
night of the celebration of
the Presidents Birthday Ball,
which falls on a Saturday, be-
cause of the hour restriction
on the sale of drinks.
Representative Reuben T.
Wood 3D. of Missouri told
the committee that extension
of the closing hour on Sun
day would be "repuIsive to a
majority of people" and that
by expanding liquor laws, I'VE
are going to bring back pro-
hibitiOn."

There were three holdups, four
purse snatchings, two cases Of
petit larceny and one case Of
grand larceny.
A liquor store at Sherman Ave
nue. and Harvard Street North
west was held up for the third
time last night by two men armed
with pistols, who took $85 from
Sam Mostow, the manager, and
two patrons.
The holdup- of Mostow's liquor
store took place a few minutes
after Policeman L. H. Legg. of
the Tenth precinct, assigned to
guard that neighborhood, had
left the store to call the precinct
on the corner signal box.
Under police regulations, all Of

G-Men Using Maps.
r. In Search

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. 10
II.N.S0.-Clad in hip boots and
heavy overcoats, about 20 Omen,
investigating the kidnapping and
murder of Charles S. Ross, Chicago
millionaire, sped away from down
town Minneapolis today in five
automobiles.
The Federal agents carried rolls
Of paper, which were taken to be
maps Of the countryside around
st. Paul, and their clothing indi-
Gated they were going to seek the
bodies of Ross and James Atwood
Gray, betrayed pal of Peter An
ders, confessed slayer Of the two.
NEW MYSTERY INJECTED
This development shrouded the
case in more mystery as pre-
viously it had been believed Ross
and Gray had been buried in
southwestern Wisconsin.
It was not definitely known
whether Anders was with the de-
parting G-men, but spectators
said they didn't see him in the
party.
Meanwhile there. was no indi'
cation when Andefs would be
taken to Chicago, where Ross
was kidnapped. No regularly
scheduled airplanes were sched-
uled to leave st. Paul or its sister
city, Minneapolis, early today
and there was no evidence that
any privately chartered plane was
to depart for Chicago.
Reports persisted, however, that
Anders, brought here under heavy
guard from Los Angeles yester-
day, would be taken to Chicago
by air sometime during the day.
TRIAL TO BE sPEEDED
Only recovery of the bodies,
authorities said, remained to
clinch the murder case against
him. And every effort will be
made to speed his trial and balk
any last minute attempts to evade
the death penalty.
Anders was lodged last night in
a private cell at the FBI head
quarters in st. Paul. Hoover
refused to explain why the pris-
oner had been brought here
rather than directly to Chicago,
except to say he was suspected in
several crimes around st. Paul.
It was considered. however. that
Anders might have hidden part of
the ransom money in this district
or had secreted the bodies near
here.

tralization of authority in the

Levies Kept
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Overriding its chairman, the
House District fiscal affairs sub
committee today voted to write an
income tax into the proposed tax
bill for 1899.
The new bill, by action of the
subcommittee today also will in
clude continuation of the business
privilege tax and the 25-cent in
crease in the real estate levy.
VICTORY FOR DIRKSEN
Under terms of the plan of the
subcommittee, the income tax will
be applicable to everyone in the
District, including members Of
Congress and Federal employees.
The action of the subcommittee
constitutes a victory for Represen-
tative Everett M. Dirksen (R0 Of
Illinois who has been champion
ing an income tax for the last year.
Following an executive session
Of the subcommittee, Representa-
tive Jack Nichols CD of Okla
homa, subcommittee chairman,
announced the income tax will be
the first part of the proposed bill.
Its inclusion in the bill was agreed
on by a vote of three to one, with
Dirksen and Representative Reu-
ben T. Wood Cd of Missouri, and
w. Sterling Cole (R.) of New
York, voting in favor and Nichols
dissenting.
Following the decision on the
income tax, Representative Dirk
sen moved for inclusion Of the
business privilege tax, and the sub
committee voted in the same way
for this item.
Continuation of the SITS tax
rate on real estate was proposed
by Mr.. Cole, with the vote remain
ing the same as on the other two
items.
The all-inclusiveness of the in
come tax, providing that nobody
shall be exempted was moved by
Representative Wood.

come tax and the otf1er two taxes
will be worked out by the Subcom-
mittee Tuesday morning, Mr..
Nichols announced.
II think the action of the sub
committee is most unfortunate"
Mr.. Nichols said. "As my vote
indicated, I am entirely against
the entire proposal. shall fight
it when it comes before the full
committee. AS = have said on
numerous occasions, I believe
that there shoulG be no more
than two taxes and that COM
bination of three taxes as the
subcommittee now contemplates
will raise more revenue than is
necessary"
Nichols has pointed out that
continuation of the business
privilege tax will raise $2,600,OO0
and that the 25-cent increase in
the real estate tax will yield
approximately $3,OO0,OOO. With
the deficit for 1889 estimated at
S., 100000, Mr.. Nichols said that
these two taxes are sufficient.
Representative Dirksen, on the
other hand, has been advocating
inclusion of the income tax not
only to determine its revenue
possibilities, but also to establish
it as a permanent form of taxa
ton in the District.

Train No. l, the Baltimore and Ohio
railroads National Limited, running
between Washington, D. c., and Wash
ington, Ind, was literally converted
into an amusement park last Wednes-
day night and Thursday when Mr..
Robert NJ. Van SAINT, director of pub
lie relations for the railroad company,
and his assistants entertained news
paper men along the route from
Washington to Washington.
Members of the party were afforded
every courtesy imaginable by the Off
cials Of the railroad company, and
were permitted to ride in the luxurious
cab Of the new Diesel engine, the loco
motive power for that train.
In addition to other and varied
marks Of hospitality the newspaper
men were provided with a well ap-
pointed lounge, which is a compare
lively new type of coach, with riding
qualities superior to anything ever
developed by railroad company, and
each guest was also assigned to a
sleeping compartment. The dining
service which long ago assisted IN
making the Baltimore and Ohio
famous throughout the country, along
with other refreshments, were at the
disposal Of the guests and their hosts
The National Limited is of course
one of the company's crack trains,
but during the past year or two SO
many changes have been made in the
construction of coaches and the gen
eral makeup of the train, that every
train operated for passenger service
by the B. and o. affords the greatest
comfort possible to every passenger
Diesel engines, according to the
officials and the trainmen, are the
coming instruments Of locomotlon
They point out several reasons fol
their convictions and included the mat
ter of economy of operation along
with increased power Of the locomo'
tives and the ease of operation. There
is no jerking of the coaches when stop
ping and starting and the train is car
ried along smoothly during its entire
run.
A thrill never to be forgotten by
non-railroader, will be his first ride
with the engineer in the cab of {

Diesel-driven locomotive. The cab
has the appointment of a fine auto
mobile, including the instrument
board, windshield wipers and de-
frosters, horn and throttle.
The Diesel, or the National Limited,
which travels through this mountain
GUS country and across the levels of
Ohio, consumes two and one-quarter
gallons Of crude oil every mile, costing
5 cents per gallon. 1t is said that the
Diesel is the most efficient engine ever
built and because Of the high eff
cheney Of its large Diesel engine, the
Union Pacific streamlined train Mo-
COL travelled Is miles per gallon Of
fuel oil on its trip across the continent.
The fuel cost was less than two and a
half cents per mile; the cost for the
entire trip of 1860 miles was only
$500. A standard steam train would
consume about $500 worth of coal for
this distance and would take over
fourteen hours longer to make the
trip.
On it's worlds record run from Den
yer to Chicago, the Burlington
Zephyr" burned less than 400 gallons
of fuel while averaging 77.6 miles an
hour for the entire distance of 1O15
miles. The 95-ton train and "a pas
sengers were carried almost miles
for each gallon of fuel oil consumed
Speeds of over 100 miles an hour were
reached on this trip.
Guy Wiles, superintendent of Dlese
electric operation, and who was borr
