16 WILSON PICKS WILLARD AS ONE OF RUSSIAN AIDS American Business and Indus trial Men to Extend Help of U. S. Washington. July 17—Conferences between Daniel Willard. president j of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, j and Government officials here have, disclosed that Mr. Willard has been | effered and. it is understood, has ac-i crpted a place on the body of Amer- I can businessmen, industrial leaders j ond financiers being selected by Pros- i ident Wilson to extend aid to Russia. ! No announcement has been made I of the result of the conferences, but ' it is known that the business of se- j lecting the membership of the body j is steadily going forward. Appointment of such a commis sion to make ; a thorough investiga- ! tion of actual conditions in Russia j was strongly urged upon President j Wilson yesterday in a letter from | Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, chairman of the senate foreign rela tions committee. The question of military intervention in Russia was not discussed in Senator Hitch cock's letter. The American commission was proposed by the Senate committee chairman because of what he said are conflicting reports regarding military, economic, political and so cial conditions in Russia. His opin ion to the President was that it is most desirable as soon as possible to learn the actual condition in Russia in all phases. Views of many Russians and also Americans returning from Russia tegarding solutions and sentiment of the Russian people were cited to the President a evidence of the wide dis parity of opinion existing. A strong commission of prominent Americans of sound judgment and discretion. Senator Hitchcock advised the Presi dent. would be of value to this coun try in determining its future course.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, Rotary Club Lunchers Wait on Themselves in Chicago to Help War Chicago, July 17.—The war pro ! duced a well-dressed "bread , line" lat the Hotel Sherman yesterday. | Prominent businessmen used to let . ting "George" do it. to the accom- I' paniment of sundry tips and other inducements, went back to the pri mitive and served themselves. It was at the. weekly Rotary Club , luncheon. The object was to save; ■ "manpower" by letting the mem- j ! hers wait on themselves a la cafe-1 i teria style. And they did it nobly, albeit some-1 1 what awkwardly. They formed in > i line, trays in hand, waiting the com-j i tnand to "forward, march." When j j they did "forward, march,," there ] was a grand assault on the huge j dishes awaiting them filled with ap-i I petizing food. Not only did they | .storm the works, but they also clean | ed out the "trenches," leaving not | a trace of food in the kettles and re ! ceptacles to waste. I The meal was extremely simple, j ! prepared along the latest Hooverized ! i ideas. That it was palatable was | evidenced by the fact that when thej | meal was over "German" plates were! j few and far between. V. Lome Hummel Dies in Bellefonte Hospital Valentine Lome.

Ask Court to Prevent Dredging oi River Coal To prevent further removal of river coal from a bed in Wiconiseo creek near Millersburg the Juniata Public Service Company, furnishing electric current in the upper end of Luuphin and in Perry and Juniata i counties, yesterday petitioned the , court for a preliminary injunction against Daniel W. Romberger, Harry 'Swab and Frederick A. Ziegler, di recting them to discontinue dredging and removing coal. The company contends it pur chased a tract of 19 acres along the creek in order to work the coal bed and that the line of the property ex tends along the opposite side of the creek. Romberger's property it is claimed extends only to the banks of the creek on the side which it is ' located, but despite this . the men j are daily removfng about 25 tons of I river coal. The first hearing will be I held next Monday. Japanese Battleship Is Blown Up; 500 Perish Tokio.-July 17.

Albert Straub, employed as water carrier at the government buildings, was struck on the head while at work yesterday and injured badly. He is a son of Mrs. Annie Straub, of Market street. "DRYS" FEAR WAR SPIRIT MAY HOLD UP PROHIBITION Argument Advanced That the Country Needs Revenue of National Debauchery Washington, July 17.—Prohibition is to be fought by the ways and means committee of the House and the finance committee of the Senate on the ground that -the government needs the revenue which can be de rived from national debauchery. It is said the administration will support this plea. The Senate ways and means committee in framing the new tax bill is proceeding with respect to the increased tax upon intoxicants as if prohibition were not a possibility. The committee will accept the recommendation of the treasury and virtually double present taxes upon all liquors, spirituous and malt. The statement is given out that revenues amounting to $950,000,000 annually can be derived from these sources. It will, therefore, be urged that if prohibition is insisted upon that the government will lose this amount in revenue which must be made up from other taxes. The revenue seekers and the whisky interests, standing together in this matter, declare that the Con gress cannot afford to discard liquor as revenue sources at this time. The new, angle from which oppo sition to prohibition is developing is the result of the postponement of the prohibition vote in the Senate until after August 26. This revenue proposition Is the last and strongest card the liquor interests can play, and they expect to have the full strength of the ad- I ministration behind them when they play it. No one wants to prevent prohi bition for the sake of liquor inter ests. according to the statements made. They are all fired now by pa triotic enthusiasm for raising rev enue and are convinced the country must permit continued waste of man-power for the sake of the rev enues. Seek Other Revenue Sources ' Eut while these liquor men are very hopeful that prohibition will be prevented, the men in Congress who are framing the revenue bill are also preparing to find some other way of supplying the government with money if the sale of liquor is actually terminated upon the Jan nary 1. As a fact, the members of the ways and means committee have learned that it is mighty difficult to raise hundreds of millions of dollars of increased revenue by merely add ing a few articles to the taxable list. • The argument that the govern ment cannot get along without the whisky and beer taxes is manifestly unsound, and hypocritical, and this fact is so generally understood that earnest prohibitionists say that the revenue question will not deter Con gress from taking action to stop the sale of all intoxicants when the pres | ent summer vacation ends, i Nevertheless it is conceded that the liquor interests have a much j better fighting chance than they I would have had if the Senate had i refused, to postpone the prohibition | vote. , The serious fear of the prohibi- Itionists now is that the President will ! exert himself to prevent the passage jof the bill. They have obtained a i promise from Chairman Lever, of | the House Committee on Agricul ture, that when the bill to stimu late food production, in which pro hibition has been incorporated by the Senate, he will report the meas ure promntly to the House with the prohibition amendment in the act. This, however, only means that the measure will have to meet in the House the opposition of the ways i and means committee and probably j that of the administration. . } From the situation that is develop ! ing it is expected to force a compro mise, by which there may be an ex- I tension of time before prohibition | shall become operative, i The new prohibition is to permit | the liquor interests another full year in which to get rid of their present supplies and pay taxes to the ; government, and there are very | strong indications that this may be ! agreed to. If it is, it will be due to the fact that the prohibitionists, instead of I passing the prohibition bill in the | Senate when they were in a position to force a vote, weakly permitted ; the whole matter to go over until I the last week in August.
