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
