Although the’ committee previous- ly decided to strike out the house in- creases on second-class mail matter under a zone system, it reopened the question of increased revenue from newspapers and magazines today by receiving the new proposal of Sen- ator Hardwick, backed by the post- office department. Senator Hardwick's amendment provides that the cent-a-pound sec- ond-class rate shall be retained on news matter of second-class publica- tions, but proposes a graduated tax upon the parts of such publications devoted to advertising. He told the committee that by this method $20,- 000,000 of additional revenue this year could be raised. For the first year, he proposed a tax of 3 per cent upon advertising in second-class pub- lications, of 6 cents a pound begin- ning July 1, 1918, and of 8 cents a pound thereafter. The tax would be computed upon a space-and-weight basis, the adver- tising being measured and the tax levied upon the percentage of the publications’ weight devoted to ad- vertisements. ‘It is expected the new proposal will be as vigorously op- posed by publishers as the house zone system. lf adopted it would be in addition to the direct advertising tax of 2 per cent tentatively approved by the com- mittee. -. The committee decision to strike out house gross sales taxes on jew- elry, motion picture films and chew- ing gum was said to be based on the general principle of eliminating spe- cial taxes on businesses and indus- tries, The general tariff increase of 10 per. cent of the house bill will be considered by the committee tomor- row. Many members are insisting upon its elimination. If not stricken out, senators tonight said it would be greatly changed, especially the proposed free list. As it affects sup- plies. of raw materials, manufacturers have been active in urging that the whole tariff section be stricken out. of 15 AFTER TEN YEARS Butler Testimony Remains Unshaken.

WAITE PAYS PENALTY Self-Confessed Murderer Was Exe- cuted at Sing Sing Last Night. Ossington, N. Y. May 24.—Dr. Arthur Warren Waite was executed at Sing Sing prison at 11:10 o'clock tonight for the murder of his father- in-law, John FE. Peck, of Grand Rapids, Mich. A jury in the supreme court of New York found Waite guilty on May 27, 1916, after he had told how he had anaesthetized Mr. Peck and then smothered him with a’ pillow. This was after admitted attempts to kill his victim with poison, suffoca- tion and other methods. Waite also told the jury that he had killed Mrs. Peck by inoculating her with disease germs and then giving her poison. His life was a self-con- fessed record of theft from the time he was 13 years-old. Two hours before his death Waite spent in prayer with his spiritual ad- viser. Just before eleven o'clock the clergyman asked the condemned man if there was anyone to whom he wished to send a message of fare- well, “No thank you, doctor,” Waite re- plied with a smile, “there really is no one I know to whom I care to send a farewell message.” “Not even to your mother?” queri- ed Mr. Peterson. “No, sir, to no one,” was the an- swer. The chaplin declared that Waite, who confessed that he poisoned- his wealthy father-in-law in the expecta- tion that his wife would receive a large share of the Mr. Peck’s estate, seemed to look upon his doom as a
