CALL BUREAU, WELLINGTON HO-| TEL, WASHINGTOI+, Nov. 22.—All pro- prietary stamp taxes and many of the! of the House Committee on Ways and | Means are engaged in framing. The gen- eral features of the bill were agreed to before adjournment of the committee this | afternoon and the sub-committee consist- ing of Representatives Payne of New York, Dalzell ef Pennsylvania and Hop- | kins ‘of Illinols was appointed to confer with the Commissioner of Internal Rev- enue and draft the measure. As soon as this draft is prepared it will be submitted to a meeting of all Republican members of the committee and a meeting of the entire committee, including the Demo- cratic members, will be called for Satur- day, December 1, when the text of the bill 'will be made’ public. | Unusual efforis are being made to keep | the details of the proposed bill secret, but it has been learned that it is not the present intention to make any reductions | in taxes on spirits, fermented liquors or tobacco. The entire reduction will amount | to about $30,000,000. Taxes that it has been | fully determined to repeal are those in| schedule B of the war revenue act, em- | bracing _proprietary taxes, amounting to | about $5,000,000; taxes off telegrams and express receipts amounting to about $2.- 000.000; legacy taxes on bequests to re-| ligious, educatiopal and charitable institu- | tions, roughly estimated at $ . and taxes on mortgages, checks and drafts, insurance policies and | premiums, warehouse receipts, certificates of various kinds, deeds and practically all | other documentary stamps. except those on stock exchange transactions. | The total cut in the documentary tax schedule will foot up about $20,000,000 and | the repeal of proprietary taxes and modi- | fication of legacy taxes will foot up about | $5.500.000 more. leaving about $4.500.000 to | | | | | be cut off to bring the total up to $30.000,- 1060, It is prabable that this will be accom- plished by repeal of the special taxes im- | posed by the war revenue acts on bankas, bankers. brokers. billiard tables, bowling | alleys, theaters, circuses and other places of amusement. | Persistent efforts are still being made to have beer and tobacco taxes reduced. but | thus far they have not met with success, | and it is not probable that any change | being made to have | further changes made in legacy taxes, in view of the fact that legacles are taxed under the laws of some of the States. Special excise taxes on refiners of petro- | Jeum and sugar will probably be retained. | The reductions are much heavier than the leading members of the Ways and Means Committee contemplated before Secretary Gage appeared before them and made his | statement showing that the condition of the Treasury was such as to warrant a | material reduction in revenues. i Chairman Payne was at first disposed to oppose any reduction In excess of $20,000.- 000, but Secretary Gage convinced him | and other Republican members of the | committee that it would be safe to cut off $10.000,000 more.

Mellick, ational Bank of Pocatello, Tdaho, and ‘attle King™” of | the Snake River, is now a raving lunatic, | the result. it is thought, of having been | sandbagged in Chicago a week ago. He was taken to Morristown, N. J.,| heavily ironed to-day and was committed { as a private patient to the State Hospital | at Morristown Heights. The commitment | was made at the instance of his father, R. W. Mellick, a wealthy farmer of New | Germantown, N. J.

He tells | the story of assault and robbery. | Mellick had been in Chicago several | days, had sold his cattle and was prepar- ing to return to the Snake River country. On the evening of November 17, with a large roll of bills, he started out to visit the theaters. .ate that nig.t he stag- gered into the hotel where he had been staying and asked for a loan of $2 with which to pay the cabman for bringing him home. The cabman said he had found Mellick out near Lincoln Park on the boulevard, wandering around in a dazed | His money, watch, rings and all valuables were missing. The next morning Mellick drew a check for a mil- lion dollars and ordered a thousand-dollar | banquet to be served by 100 waiters in his | room.

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS FOR TICKETS TO SEE BERNHARDT | So Great Is the Crush at Opening of the Box Office That Scalpers Reap a Harvest. NEW YORK, Nov. 22.—Theater-ticket speculators yesterday on the sidewalk in front of the Garden Theater held seats for Mme. Bernhardt’s opening perform. ance in “L'Aiglon” next Monday night at $25 each. The box-office price is $5. The public. unable to buy seats at the thea- ter, rebelled at the exorbitant charge. The advance sale of seats for the en- gagement has proved larger than any other since Pattl, in her prime, visited New York. On Wednesday night the to- tal receipts, including checks for season amounted to $50.000, and yester- day’s sale swelled the tofal to more than $100,000. Richard Mansfield objected to having the Bernhardt sale conducted in the same box office with the sale of seats for his last performances of “Henry V,” so a special box office was constructed for him in the lobby of ..e theater. The actor's reason was that the crush in front of the his patrons. TWO TORPEDO BOATS ARE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED Blakeley and De Long Leave the Ways Amid Big Crowd at South Boston.

Captain Hiram M. Chittenden of the United States Engineer Corps was then introduced and spoke on relations of the fl*nerul Government to reservoir construe- on, At the conclusion of Captain Chitten den’s address a general discussion fol- lowed on the storage of water by tha Gov- ernment for frrigation purposes. At the night session a letter from President-elect Roosevelt read, Vice | in ; was I believe to the last point in the vital neces- | sity of storing the floods and preserving the forests, especially throughout the plains of the | Rocky 'Mountain region. The problem of the | development of the Greater West is in part a | problem of irrigation. I naturally believe in | Government giving generous aid to the mov.- ment, for it is not possible, and If it were pos- sible it would not be wise to have this storage work done merely through private ownership, and owing to the peculiar necessitie the case much of the work must be don the national and not by any State government. A letter was also read from General Nelson A. Miles, in which he sald: I am not optimistic enough to believe that the ingenuity of man can encompass the re. demption of the 600,000,000 of acres which com- prise the nation's vacant public lands, but if, as has been claimed, for the irrigation of 100,000,000 of acres (pro- vided the supply is economically used), 1 can easily imagine 10,006,000 of good citizens there is Water enough 1 finding homes on farms ‘which are self-supporting. It seems to me, therefore, that the plan pro- posed by one of the members of your associa- tion {s most feasible and just. It is: Let the Government build the storage reservoirs and the main line canals and the settlers provide the smaller distributing systems by banding themselves together in co-operative organiza- tions. Congreumsn Francis G. Newlands of Nevada told how the waters of four rivers in his Siate were lost {n sinks of the desert instead of being used to Irrigate the thousands of acres of fertile land, which needed only the water to change it from a desert to a prosperous agricultural country.

Fred- erick Alstaetter of the United States en- gineers, who was captured by the insur- gents early in September north of San Isidro, has been released. He entered ths American garrison at Gapan, province of Nuevitas Ecija, Tuesday evening, his ap- pearance there being a great surprige, as Aguinaldo’s order for the release of Amer- jcan soldlers included only enlisted men. He will start for Manila to-morrow. A detachment of 100 men from Compa- nies E and M, Twenty-fifth United States Infantry (colored), under Captain O'Nelll, made a clever capture of thirty insurgents with rifies, supplies and 1500 rounds of ammunition in a camp east of San Mario- lano, which the Americans charged at daybreak. Among the rifles captured were a few Krag-Jorgensens which the insurgents had recently secured. Several of the I“lll(glnoi were wounded. Captain Gulick, with sixteen men of the Forty-seventh lafantry, had a sharp en- counter with insurgents concealed in a blockhonse near Binorongan. The insur- gents fired a volley from thirty rifles on the approach of the Americans, wounding two, one mortally. The firing soon be- came hot on hoth sides. With .nine men Captain Gulick swam the river, gained the hillside, routed the enemy and inci- dentally killed several bolomen. The same rnrty with a _score of comrades drove ‘the nsurgents from Bulusam, where they were intrenched.
