12 LUXURY TAX IS TO GO INTO BIG REVENUE BILL Aimed to Reach the Rich Who Use Commodities Not Con sidered Necessities Washington, July B.—ln lieu of a consumption tax on the breakfast table necessities—sugar, tea and coffee —the Ways and Means Com mittee has decided tentatively to write into the $8,000,000,000 revenue bill a luxury tax, aimed to reach the luxurious and rich using commodi ties not generally regarded as neces sities. In making this decision the com mittee has adopted the plan in suc cessful operation in France: In ef fect the tax established a list of lux uries, per se, such as perfumes, scented soaps, toilet waters, import ed mineral waters, jewelry, musical instruments, etc. The second list of luxuries is based upon the selling price and will Include nearly every article of wear by men and women. In France pajamas, lingerie, outer shirts, hosiery, neckties, automobiles and clothing of every description come under the semi-luxury classifi-j cation, and while not subject to such a high rate of taxation as the real luxuries, the rate is sufficiently high to reach the rich and permit the every-day sort of person to escape the tax. Ten Per Cent, on Pajamas Under the French system there is a tax of about ten per cent.' on pa jamas selling for more than $2, and men's stockings costing more than 25 cents a pair are not taxed, while the men who wear silk stockings will pay more, just as the man is taxed five per cent, for riding in a Pull man car in the United States. Silk underwear and lingerie of fine texture come in for a tax levy, while persons satisfied with cheaper articles need not contribute any thing to the federal revenues. A secondary list will be about five per cent., but the committee has not yet reached the point where it can de cide at what figure the articles shall be classed as luxuries. One mem ber of the committee, discussing the matter, said that this would be a hard schedule to work out, but that each member of the committee would consult expert advice.

No Changes in Coal Prices During Summer, Says Fuel Administrator Washington, July 3.—No change in coal prices will be made within the next two months, according to announcement yesterday by Dr. Har ry A. Garfield. Federal fuel adminis trator. Doctor Garfield made the an nouncement while commenting on the Federal Trade Commission's re port, which charged that coal op erators are making large profits un der the government-fixed prices for the fields. The fuel administrator admitted that some operators are making good profit on the • government schedule, but said these are the "low-cost" operators. The maxi mum run-of-mine price is $2.60 a ton in the Central Pennsylvania fields, Doctor Garfield said, and in some cases this nets $1 a ton profit. But "high-cost" operators in the same field are barely breaking even, he said, and maintenance of the present system of prices, which is stimulating to production, gives best assurance of dealers with the pros pect of a serious coal shortage. Tampering with the present coal prices under the inadequate infor mation on production costs available at present might hinder the coal out put, Doctor Garfield declared. At present the production is Just bare ly the weekly average necessary to meet the demand of the nation. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! KOLA DESERTS RUSS, JOINS THE ENTENTE ALLIES Entire Population of Murman Coast Rebels; German Ambassador Killed Copenhagen, July B.—The entire population of the Murman Coast (on the Kola Peninsula bordering the White Sea and the Arctic) has broken with Russia and joined the Entente; according to a dispatch from Vardoe, Norway, to the Chris tiuVia Tidens Tegn. A supply of provisions from the United States has arrived at Mur mansk, the dispatch adds. Basel, July B.—Nikolai Lenine, Bolshevik! premier, has sent the fol lowing message to M. Joffe, Russian minister at Berlin, regarding the as sassination of Count von Mirbach, the German Ambassador at Moscow: "Two unknown men entered the German Embassy at 2 o'clock this (Saturday) afternoon, having docu cents from a special committee. They threw a bomb in Count von Mirbach's office, wounding him so severely that he died. "Representatives of the govern ment immediately visited the em bassy and expressed indignation at the act. which they considered as a political maneuver to provoke trou ble. The government is taking every measure to discover the murderers and bring them before a special revolutionary tribunal. "Extra measures have been taken to protect the German embassy and citizens. The government requests you to express to the German gov ernment the Russian government's indignation and convey its sympathy to the family of the late count." Paris. July 8. As soon as the news of the assassination of Count von Mirbach, German ambassador at Moscow, came to M. Tchitcherin, the Russian foreign minister, M. Tchitcherin and his' associate, M. Karakhan, called at the German em bassy and expressed the regret and indignation of the government at the occurrence, says a Berlin dispatch, forwarded by the Havas correspon dent at Basel. The identity of the assassins has not been established, nor have they been arrested, the message states. It appears, according to these ad vices, that with Count von Mirbach, when he was attacked, were Herr Ritzier, the counsellor of the em bassy, and a German officer. Neither was injured. Kerensky's Comment Alexander Kerensky, former pre mier of Russia, when informed by the Associated Press of the assassi nation of Count von Mirbach. Ger man ambassador at Moscow, declar ed that while he could not "feel elat ed at the death of a human being" he could not help saying "It is a good thing for Russia." M. Kerensky seemed reluctant to believe the news, asking repeatedly "Are you sure?" When informed that the news seemed perfectly re liable as it originated In Berlin, he said: "This may be the beginning of the renaissance of Russia." "But now the Germans will sure ly go to Moscow," he added sadly. It was only a few days ago that Kerensky, in a talk with the corres pondent, expressed his opinion that the only reason German troops had not yet appeared in Moscow was be cause Von Mirbach had not required their presence there. Was Ruler of Russia "Should circumstances demand the appearance of German troops," said the former premier on this occasion, "Von Mirbach, the real ruler of Rus sia, will surely call upon them. His ability to govern without the help of German bayonets has alone prevent ed the appearance of German spiked helmets in the ancient capital of the Muscovite Empire." Washington, July 8. Leaders among the people of the Murman coast recently appealed to the Amer ican and Allied consult at Kola for protection. German troops are re ported to the southward on the rail road leading to the Arctic at Kola and the failure of the Bolsheviki government to resist the penetration of the enemy has led the inhabi tants to adopt their own measures of defense. With American, British and French naval forces guarding a large store of war supplies at Kola and along the railroad, the Murman coast is one of the possible fields for op erations by the Allies in the East un der the new policy toward Russia believed to have been approved by President Wilson at the White House conference yesterday. Just what form of activities will follow under the new program, however, is be lieved to rest almost wholly with the Supreme War Council at Paris and if anything like a detailed plan of action has been worked out by the council no intimation of it has been given out. Kaiser Bought Walnut For War 10 Years Ago Altoona, Pa., July B.—ln his efforts to locate available walnut timber for use for the Government In the manu facture of gunstocks, Walter B. Al len, director of military service of the Blair County Branch of the Coun cil of National Defense and Public Safety, has discovered evidence of the war preparation plans of the Ger man Government In years gone by. He has ascertained that a great amount of walnut timber was bought by agents of the Kaiser, representa tions being made that it was intend ed for use in the manufacture of furniture. The timber was purchas ed about. 10 years ago. and none of those who sold It had the remotest Idea of the use to which It was to be put. Few, In fact, knew that they were selling to agents of the Ger man Government. When trees were bought they would be felled and left lying on the ground until they could be sawed into pieces suitable for handling. Later they would be hauled to the nearest ship ping point and sent away. Several persons have informed Mr. Allen that they learned that the timber was sent to eastern seaports and shipped to Germany. Great, quantities of walnut must have been purchased, according to reports received here. H. E. Bodine. manager of the Altoona Chamber of Commerce, whose home is in Tioga county, recalls the German agents' activities in that county, and Attor ney J. Banks Kurtz, chairman of the Blair County Public Safety Commit tee, when at his old home In Juniata county, was Informed of similar purchases of walnut there. Evidently there is/little walnut left In this region, for Mr. Allen has not yet found amy considerable quan tity for the Government.

Boston, July B.—Viscount Ishii, Jap anese Ambassador, speaking at a luncheon given by Mayor Andrew J. Peters, declared that the German Emperor was responsible for the "yellow peril" in the United States, and for an extensive anti-American propaganda campaign in Japan. Two years ago at Tokyo, he said, he told the American Ambassador he thought outside Influences were at work to create unfriendly feeling be tween Japan and America, but that he was not then in a position to state definitely the name of the person he suspected of being the instigator. The Ambassador reiterated that Ja pan would flght with the Allies until international justice and democracy had been established. ACADEMY OPENS FOR SPECIAL/ SUMMER WORK With Senior Master Howard R.
