'WWTOFf -is wm$ crias imu it-PH mra HfoWHUJ ' TK WAR TAX BILL HELD DP PENDING RETURN OF THE PRESIDENT Wrangling Over Plan to In clude Freight Causes Dem ocratic Leaders to Delay Report to House. si l? "WASHINGTON. Sept R-Emerccncy revenuo legislation will hold chief In terest In the House this week, despite tha delay In the Introduction of the Ad ministration bill to provide 4100.000,000 a year, which the Treasury will need be causo of the falling off of einloms duties on Account of the European war. In dlcatlons aro now that the bill may nut reach tho floor of th House until Wednesday or Thursday, but the wrang ling over tho proposed tax on freight shipments has reached such a stage that a Democratic caucus In planned early till week when several Dcmocruts will seek to overthrow tha freight tat provision of tha bill. Tha original program was that tho rerenue bill, agreed upon by a majority of tho Democrats of tho Ways and Means Committee, would bo Introduced last Saturday and would b formally re ported by that committee tnila Con sideration of the bill Under a special rulo was scheduled for tomorrow. However, at the e.levonth hour on Saturday Majority Leader Underwood announced he would not Introduce tho bill until it hid re ceived tho unqualified approval of the President, the Inference belni; that Mr Underwood realized tho seriousness of tho revolt nnalnst the freight tux clauso and Intended to put responsibility squarely up to Mr Wilson. Accordingly, the bill Is held In abey ance until the President gets back from Cornish, N". It., tomorrow. Sufficient signatures have been ob tained to call a Democratic c-xueus which Is scheduled for tonight or to morrow night, unless tho President brings pressure to bear to have It post poned. It probably will require a letter from him to put the freight tax through the caucus, although there Is little or no opposition to tho proposed tax on beer and wines. When tho caucus Is convened Repre sentatives Kitchen und Onrner, Demo cratic members of tho Wnvs and Means Committee, who have conltentIy op posed a freight tax. will offer n substi tute bill proposing to tax beer, wines. whisky, cigarettes, Inheritances and nu tcmoblles and to Increase the Income tax rate. Tho enMro revenue legislation Is "mix ed" and presages a furthi- dlay in the final adjournment of Congress. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas said today that he would offer as a u'i'tltute for the House war tax bill a measure tax ing all automobiles In the t'nlted States from 50 cents to $1; taxing coca cola 10 cents per gallon: retaining House tax on beer, and placing a considerable tjx on cigarettes. Outside of consideration of the Im portant revenue measure, tho House will conclude during the week Its debito on tho bill authorising the leasing of mil oil and phosphate lands on the public domain. This meauro probably w'll pass without serious opposition On W ilnos day the Barnhart printing bill Is to aealn take tho right of way and a vote may ba reached on this measure designed to re vise and "odlfy the printing laws and check waste at the government printing office. They would also limit the publication ; government documents to the actual - jTr'ot public officials, and seek to ' chttt the "Junk pile," to which thousands of useless, uncalled for documents are consigned each year. Routine bills on the private claims calendars are scheduled to take up the rparo time of the House In fact, there Is no prospect of a legislates let-up at any time this week. CHILLY BREEZES BLOW AND SCRAPPLE ARRIVES Sausages and Hot Cakes Also Make Debut With Prices as You Will. Tho frost Is on tho pumpkin sings the poet, and his warbles nbout tho golden rod, Ignoring the rumor that It dissemi nates nn aroma or a pollen or some other attribute tho bano of hay fever victims. The poet, as far a9 can bo learned, has never, at tho fall of tho year, sung the praises of scrapple. Ho has never made a rhyme suitable for a sausage. In a round about wa he may have touched upon the buckwheat cake and mtple syrup. The sruii Is a cllnolng, sticky thing, and lends Itself well to the general ntinosphere of t etry and poets. Scrapple made Its debut In the 10-and-tfi-eent restaurants a week ago It can be hnd In the hotter kinds of restaurants nil tho ear Its consumption Is generally frowned upon In summer, but It Is kept on hind for the visitors who have heard of Philadelphia scrapple and wish to sample tho same as thev wish to take a hurried trip through Independence Hall. Sausage, hot r.ikes and steaming cof fee Is not a half-bad breakfast on any df the present chill v mornings. Oat meal, which Is banned hv careful eitera during the summer months, Is again In demand, and oysters hao more than come Into their own. A citizen c.tn now with Impunity con sumo a small oyster stow at night and begin the day with ham and eegs with out shocking the proper food fadlsts. Restaurant keepers state that tho scrapple and sausage from up the Stato Is exceptionally fine this winter. It varies In price where one eats it. Some restaurants are charging SO or 40 cents for a typical Philadelphia scrapple bToak fast. In other restaurants, where the pollci are generally near the doorway, a brand of scrapple with n side dish of potatoes, cuffne gently flavored with chicory hut all von want to drink, only costs 10 cents. The prices of sausage also varies nccordlng to Its Ingredients nnd how It 1 served, but there aro plentiful ropes of them In the market The pumnkln and mlnee plo crop will b fair. Ovsters are plentiful, and there seems to he no reason whv tho war should affect the prices ef wheat cakes waffles or other of the delicacies which arrive at about the same time as foot ball players and the press agents of musical comedy companies.

SHOWN TUESDAY ON FIRST FLOOR, THE THOROUGHFARE Instrument Goes Home at Once Co-Operation Wherever a common want can be focalized, the want can he met at a less ened price To insure one man's life for $1000 would cost $1000 to insure a hundred thousand lives for $1000 each wouldn't cost $40 apiece, and thcre'd he a profit to the in surer. To sell a few pianos "costs more than they conic to" to concentrate a big business on one make at a time, lets us sell pianos on as close margin as we sell dress goods and still the big business pays, where the little business with high prices eats itself up. Suppose we sell four thousand pianos in a year the demand coming just as it happens we hae to handle driblet lots of each one make, and it's costly. This club centers the attention of three million people on pianos and players of the Hardman make the "Harrington" line. We are justified in buying and re ceiving and handling in the big way that lessens costs. The saving is divided among those who join the club-tbat's the economy we offer And we can even afford to insure each members life as to this debt. Usually three or four days after you join the club we can get your chosen instru ment home yours to enjoy while the payments are going on yours for always, if pay ments are made, because there is practically no wear-out to a "Harrington" instrument to any instrument that Hard man, Peck & Co, build.
