on Reports That State House

TRENTON, April 13. Following rumors
of a plot to blow up tho State House, a de
tall of soldiers has been placed about the

seen lurking about the place, and this cir

nothing 'to bear out the plot rumors was
found. Tho State House commission today,
following a conference between the Gov
ernor and Adjutant General Barber on tho
matter, requested the guard detail, and It
was supplied from the Second Regiment, of

OTHER GAMES ALSO OFF
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Friday, the thirteenth, has no terrors
for the brave soldiers working for Con
nie Mack. The double hoodoo was Ignored
today and not a single alibi was framed to
explain the loss of the ball game this after
noon. It might be well to Bay right here,
however, that no game was played because
the clouds cracked in a damp and vulner
able spot and moisture settled all -over the
scenery.' Joe Old. who Is a, glutton for
punishment, walked out on the field, closely
scrutinized the diamond and reported that
all bets should be called off. Connie and
Harry Davis agreed with him. and the
postponed combat will be part of a double
header here when the Senators again ap
pear on June 28.
Frigid temperaturo In Detroit kept the
Tigers and Indians In the warm club house
andhe Red Sox and Yankees postponed
their combat because of wet grounds.
Over in Brooklyn where tho Phils are
busily engaged In walloping the Dodgers,
a denso fog, accompanied by a very wet
rainstorm, swept over the city, and al
though Charlie Ebbets hated to call off the
same, there was no chance to play. It was
announced, however, that yesterday's post
ponement would be the other part of a
double header In Flatbush on June 30.
This
is the first uargain uni scneuuieu
ihls year.
Tho Macklets were rather peeved when
they learned that there would be nothing
doing thls afternoon. Two defeats la a
row did not dampen their spirits as much
as the weather, for they Man Idea that
today was' the day to break Into the win,
nlng column. They, profited by the bat
ting practice against Johnson and-Galla
and were ready to get .revenge on Jim
Shaw, Dumont cr any other pitcher sent
in by Griffith. Elmer Meyers or Jack
Nabors would have-done the twirling for
the home club.

DISTILLERS READY
TO CUTPR0DUCT
Committee, Fearing Prohibi
tion, Volunteers to Reduce
Demands for Grain
TO USE LIQUOR IN BOND"
WASHINGTON, April 13.
Voluntary restriction of liquor manufac
ture during tho war was proposed before
the Senate Agriculture Committee today by
a committee of distillers, representing the
largest liquor Interests In the country.
Aroused by fear of legislation that would
bring nbout "war prohibition." tho distillers
prcscnicd tt plan to cut down demands for
grain 15,000,000 bushels a year. Tho pres
ent output of dlbtllicrles and breweries In
tho country requires approximately G40,
000,000 bushels of grain annually.
The committee was headed by Joseph
Debar, president of tho National Distillers
and Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association,
Under a plan submitted a Federal tax
would be Imposed upon tho materials used
to manufacture liquor. Such a tax, they
told tho committee, would havo a tendency
to lower production and force out of bond
the reserve of liquors.
An expert who accompanied the commit
tee asserted such a plan would save at
least 15,000,000 bushels of grain per year.
Tho distillers' committee pointed out that
to shut oft production of alcohol altogether
would be Impossible; that enormous quan
tities of alcohol were used n tho manu
facture of munitions of war, and that at
least 35,000,000 gallons of alcohol annually
is necessary for medical and like purposes ;
that thousands of persons would be thrown
out of work and great hardships would re
sult from any severe restrictions on the
manufacture o( alcohol.
