so-called nuisance and luxury taxes,
reduces individual taxes all along the
line and increases the corporation in-
come tax from 10 per cent to 12| per
cent.

visions than bad ones. Tho measure
U generally concedcd to be only a
temporary one and the understanding
now is that a new revision bill Will
have to be framed within a year or so,

newspapers today strongly demand
that the Anglo-Japanese treaty be
scrapped forthwith. The London
Times argues that tho existence of the

impedes cordial understanding be-
tween America and Great Britain and
generally hinders peace."

treaty in recent years has been a
"sburco of mischief to China, encour-
aged aggression by Japanese militar-
ists toward China and thus h;is been
dangerous and prejudicial to the
greater'welfare of Japan herself."

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 23.—Private
Wassorman, United States Marine
corps, guarding Baltimore & Ohio
mail train No. 9 from Washington to
Pittsburg, early today iioan Washing-
ton Junction, Md., discovered two
men It the door of a mail car. He
fired on them with his shotgun. One
man dropped off the train and the
other swung out on the hand rail of
the car. He later was captured and
brought to Jail here.
According to Captain Herbert Har-
dy, commanding the postal guard in
the Pittsburg district, Private Was-
serman reported to him that soon
after the train left Washington tint
he thought he saw some o^ie on top
of one of the mail cars. He gained
an advantageous position and swept
the top of the car with fire, but did
not know whether he had hit any
one, as the train was in motion.
A little later, Captain Hardy said,
Wassorman saw two men on the plat-
form of a mail car and he asked one
of the clerks to open the door.
This he did, and private Wassor-
man fired. One of the men disap-
peared and the other swung himself
from the platform and clung to the
hand bars on the side of the car. The
marine went after him and brought
him uninjured into the car. He was
•brought to Pittsburg with the train
and turned over to the authorities.
Captain Hardy questioned the pris-
oner when he arrived in Pittsburg and
said the man told him he was a me-
chanic and had been employed In Buf-
falo.
Recently he went to Philadelphia,
the captain said, and while there
joined an organization known as the
International Association of Migra-
tory Workmen. He had no money,
Captain Hardy said the man told him,
and with a companion set out to make
their way to Pittsburg and were rid-
ing in the mail train when seen by
Private Wasserman.
Captain Hardy added that he was
unable to say whether the men in-
tended to try an4 hold up the train or
not, but the story of the prisoner and
the story of Private Wasserman ccn-
hirted.
"There may be an inquiry into the
shooting," said Captain Hardy, "but
I hardly think so, as the guard was
under strict orders to shoot first and
ask questions afterward. Manifestly
the men had no light on a United
States mail train."
It was later announced by the pos-
tal authorities that the prisoner had
given the name of Cosmer Sadale and
that he lived in Lackawanna, N. Y.

Prohibition Gap
Formally Closed
by the President
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Nov. 23. — The antl
medical boer bill was signed today by
President Harding.
Signature of the bill on which con-
gressional action was completed last
Friday automatically closed the gap
in the nation's prohibition laws re-
vealed last March by Attorney Gen-*
eral Palmer In an opinion that there
was nothing In the Volstead act to
preclude the prescription of beer as
medicine.
Tho bill signed todajMn addition to
outlawing medical beer, provides that
not more than one-fourth gallon of
vinous liquor, or vinous or spirituous
liquors s^inrately, or In the aggre-
gate containing more than one-half
pint of alcohol, may be prescribed in
ten days; that physicians shall be
limited to 100 prescriptions for such
liquor in 90 days unless extraordinary
reason is presented; that importation
of spirituous or .vinous liquor is pro-
hibited until the amouiit on hand shall
not be sufficient to supply the cur-
rent need for non-beverage uses; that
private residences may not be search-
ed without a search warrant and that
the courts of Hawaii and the Virgin
islands are given jurisdiction to en-
force the national prohibition act.
Washington, Nov. 23.—Passage of
the anti-beer bill "marks a step for-
ward in tho enforcement of prohibi-
tion," Commissioner Haynes said to-
night in a formal statement.
The act, he said, strengthens the
prohibition forces in dealing with the
alleged medicinal preparations sold on
the open market and used for bever-
ages and also limits the activities of
"the few physicians" issuing prescrip-
tions for liquor to people not actually
requiring It.
"No embarrassment in the enforce-
ment of prohibition," Mr. Haynes
said, "is anticipated from the provi-
sion Imposing penal liability upon of-
ficers searching dwellings without
warrants and searching other proper-
ty without warants, maliciously and
without reasonable cause. The offi-
cers are given fair warning that they
must not search dwellings without
warrants, and no attempts to do so
will be made. Before a case against
an officer can be sustained it will be
necessary to show, not only that the
officer did not have a warrant, but
that he acted maliciously and without
probable cause."
Big Fire in Corpus Chrisli.

Corpus Christi, Tex., Nov. 23. Pre-
liminary estimates of the loss from a
fire which early today destroyed the
eecand story of a building occupied

company and the Thomas Model
pharmacy and damaged adjoining
buildings ranged from $100,000 to
$150,000. The blaze is believed to
have originated from defective wiring

London, Nov, 23.—The first formal
conference between representatives of
the government and of the Sinn Fein
since the meetings between British
cabinet and the Ulster representatives
was held In Downing street today.
Prime Minister Lloyd-George, Vis-
count Birkenhead, the lord chancel-
lor, met Arthur Griffith and Michael
Collins, the Dail EIreann delegates,
who wero accompanied to the prime
minister's official residence by Ea-
monn J. Dugan.
The government at today's confer-
ence put before the Sinn Fein vari-
ous alternative proposals for meeting
Ulster's objection to the proposed all-
Ireland parliament as well as a sug-
gestion that Ulster be left temporarily
as it is while the rest of Ireland re-
ceives fiscal autonomy which would
make its taxation less than that of
Ulster,
Unacceptable to Dail EIreann.
The Sinn Fein publicity department
however declares the Dail EIreann
can consent to none of these plans.
The all-Ireland parliament It declares,
must be established at the outset and
not postponed for any term of years.
It likewise insists that the parliament
must be so constituted that Ulster
shall not have more than her propor-
tional representation in the body.
The Sinn Fein objects strongly to
any proposal which would leave Ul-
ster or any part of It outside the Irish
system.
Ulster Is Also Obstinate.
Ulster objects to any all-Ireland
parliament and refuses to abandon Its
representation In the. Imperial parlia-
ment. It would only discuss an all-
Ireland parliament, it Is declared, on
the condition that the six countbs
had In such a parliament the same
representation as the remaining 25
counties.
Thus, tomorrow, It appears, Mr.
Lloyd-George will have to inform Sir
James Craig, tho Ulster premier, of
the Sinn Fein's refusal to concede this
point. Sir James was to have, met the
British premier today, but the Ulster
premier's indisposition caused the
postponement of the. conference,
which now is expected to take place
tomorrow.

Over 300 Chinese
to Be Given Right
to Stay in £/. S.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 23.—After
nearly five years in which their legal
status has been in doubt, more than
300 Chinese brought back by General
Pershing from Mexico, are to be given
the rfght to permanent residence in
the United States.
W. D. Page of this city, who was
placed in charge of their welfare by
General Pershing, yesterday received
word that the bill to this effect had
passed the house of representatives.
It passed the senate some time ago.
The Chinese were used by General
Pershing in his punitive expedition
into Mexico. They had been residents
of Mexico. The feeling against them
on the part of the Mexicans then was
bitter, because it was felt that they
had aided the invading force. To
leave them would probably have been
signing their death warrants. So in
February, 1917, to' the number of 365
they were brought back to the United
States.

(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Washington, Nov. 23.—When tho
arms delegates quit work for the
Thanksgiving day recess, these con-
siderations embraced the central
points of interest in their discussions:
Whether the effort to apply gener-
ally accepted principles to specific
cases in the far east would bring defi-
nite accomplishments or lead to futile
debate.
Whether in view of the position of
France and the general situation in
Europe any serious attempt should be
made to agree on a limitation of land
armament.
Whether a way can be found to
hasten consideration of details of the
naval limitation plan, which is pro-
ceeding smoothly but too slowly to
satisfy some of the delegates.
Of these questions, the first was
brought sharply to the fore tonight
by several direct clashes of opinion
regarding elements of the eastern ne-
gotiations.
At today's executive session of the
nine delegations, the right of the Chi-
nese delegates to speak for the whole
of China was reported to have been
questioned by France and later *
British Interpretation of the princi-
ples already adopted was challenged
by some of the Chinese. Earlier In
the day the land armament problem
had been debated behind closed doors
by the delegates of the big five pow-
ers without further result than tha
appointment of a sub-committee to
consider collateral subjects, like tin
use of airplanes and poison gases.
On the side of the naval reduction
program developments were so com-
pletely eclipsed that some of the dele-
gates showed Impatience and pointed
out the possible danger that the nego-
tiations might become confused by
too exhaustive a discussion of details.
It is possible the naval experts will
be asked to simplify their methods
so as to expedite action.
Washington, Nov. 23.—The follow-
ing communique was issued after the
meeting today of the siub-commtttee
on limitation of armament:
"The sub-committee composed of
tho heads of the delegations of the
five powers represented on the com-
mittee on limitation of armament held
a meeting, this afternoon (Wednes-
day), Nov. 23, at 5 p. m., for the pur-
pose of considering the order of pro-
cedure in connection with new agen-
cies of warfare and of rules for th$
conduct of war. The sub-committee
decided to create three boards of ex-
perts, each member of the sub-com-
mittee to nominate the members of
these boards, as follows:
"1. With respect to aircraft, their
quantity, character and use.
"2. With respect to poison gases.
"3. With respect to appropriate
rules for the conduct of war.
"These experts are to conduct their
Inquiries under the direct supervision
of the sub-committee composed of the
heads of the five delegations. As
each subject is prepared for the dis-
cussion of the full committee, It will
be reported to It.
"M. Briand took leave of hl« col-
leagues, expressing his regret at be-
ing obliged to depart. The other
members of the sub-committee ex-
pressed * their regret that he «U
obliged to leave them and their ap-
preciation of the great part he had
taken in the proceedings.
"Tha committee then adjourned,
subject to the call of the chair."
