WHISKEY TAX REDUCTION BILL STRENOUS EFFORT BEING MADE TO SECURE PASSAGE OF BLACKBURN'S MEASURE. It Has the Endorsement of the Internal Revenue Bureau and the Treasury Department. NORTHERNERS TO VIEW SOUTHERN CONDITIONS nUMrALKEK AND OTHEPS WILL COME AND SEE FOR THEM- SELVES MR BROWNLOW CON rlDKNT OF THE ENACTMENT OF FOREST RESERVE MEASURE Special to the Gazette. TTT m . wasnington, April 22. A strenuous effort is 'being made by distillers and wholesale whiskey dealers all over the country to secure the passage of the bill introduced by Congressman Black 'burn which provides for the reduction of the tax on distilled spirits from $1.10 to iQ cents per gallon. This bill is now in the hands of the ways and means committee and the friends of the meas ure propose to bring every sort of pr.'S- oure to pear to secure its passace xnrough both houses of congress. The spirits anaustry is, therefore, being thoroughly organized to bring about the desired result during the present session of congress. Within 30 days tnere will toe presented petitions bet ing 3,000,000 signatures asking for the desired legislation. A significant' fact about the movement to secure the tax reduction is that never before have all interests been united in a si'i-io Mne of legislation. In the (present case distillers, whole sale dealers, retail dealers and middle men are all agreed upon the legislator desired and In addition to this Mr. Blackburn'e measure has tne endorse ment of the internal revenue bureau and of the treasury department. The late Secretary Gage was one of the foremost champions of a reduction to 70 cents per gallon, taking the . ground that 31.10 is. higher than 4he best reve- In other words, LI1C ""rt uietuung or wnisKey as so 9- - . illl.ZX Ji. U1 i a . - great in amount with the tax at the present high figure that the revenue collected is not as much in the aggre gate as it would be if the tax rate were lower and the incentive to blockading less. Mr. Blackburn stated today to the Gazette correspondent that he consid ered the prospect for the enactment of his bill to be very flattering. It is reported that Representative Crumpacker, of Indiana, the author of resolutions' for suffrage investigation, and other members of the house have accepted ah invitation to journey south and observe the negro tin the heart of Alabama's black belt. The program is to have the party leave in a special car May 10, and spend several days in the south. The travelers will be largely members of the house who have seen little of the south below Mason's and Dixon's line. The idea of this trip originated with Representative Charles W. Thompson, of the Fifth Alabama district, who has a large plantation near Tuskegee, where he employs some 400 or 500 negro hands. Mr. Thompson is a prosperous man, possesses means, and believes the trip will give the Northerners a chance to form some opinions of their own about conditions in the south. He de clares that 'he will make no effort to impress his own views about conditions upon the prospective visitors, but will leave them entirely free to draw their own conclusions. It is expected that Senator Frye will accompany the party. Speaker Henderson has also been invit ed. Among the Representatives who have accepted, besides Mr. Crumpacker, are Gen. Ketchara, of New York; Mr. Dick, and Mr. Southard, of Ohio; Mr. Roberts, and Mr. Gillett, of Massachu setts; Mr. Barney, Mr. Brown, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Dahle, and Mr. Davidson, of Wisconsin; Mr. Smith, and Mr. Con ner, of Iowa. Ex-Senator Butler arrived in the city yesterday to spend a short while en gaged in legal business. Congressman Moody is influential in sending another special agent to his district to lay out new rural mail de livery routes. The agent will depart the later part of the week and will be gin operations in Swain county.

Thone 166. which passed the senate Saturday, is now before the house committee on in valid pensions. Major Moody 6tates that the committee wttll consider the resolution Friday. Your correspondent interviewed Con gressman Walter P. Brownlow of Ten nessee about the (prospect for the enact ment of the Appalachian park bill at this session of congress. Mr. Brown low is one of the heartiest supporters of the reserve project on the house side and, next to Major Moody did more than any other man to secure a favor able report on the bill from the agri cultural committee. Mr, Brownlow said he regarded the chance for the enactment of the Park measure as being ftw Hundred times greater than it was tor -L-..3 Johnson City soldier's home bill when he. intro duced it in congress. The necessity for forest preservation, he said, was be coming more urgent every year and it was imperative that the section to be included in the reserve should not be denuded of its forests. Mr. Brownlow is one of the hardest working members of congress and republican from, head to foot. Senator Pritchard has prepared a speech on the park bill which he will deliver during the consideration of the measure in the senate. Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine, who stood trial for .the murder of the Census Clerk, James S. Ay res, at Hotel Kennnan a year ago, and who was acquitted is a daily visitor to the senate galleries and manifests interest in the proceedings of that dignified body. Mrs. Bonine is on the civil service eligible list and prediction is made that she will receive an appointment.

The hotels tonight are filled with rep resentatives from the cotton mills of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina. DEBUT CONCERT OF MRS. ROCKWOOD'S CHORUS The debut concert of Mrs! Rockwood's'. chorus class at Ralston hall last even ing was a most satisfactory one in ev ery particular. The duet 'by Miss Kate Ruland and W. Griffin was very finely rendered. Mr. Pless sang a solo entitled, "Greet ing" accompanied by Mrs. Rockwood. Mrs. Colby sang "A Prayer" with such good voice and displayed such careful training that she might be accredited the honor of the evening. The singing of a quartet consisting of Mrs. Cblby, Miss Battle and Messrs Griffin and Bell received hearty applause. Miss Rockwood recited "The Mes sage accompanied by Mrs. Rockwood at the piano. The recitation is of a pathetic nature and the novelty of the piano acompaniment lent much to the charm of the production. Miss Rock wood also recited "Prompt Obedience" which was followed by a humorous se lection as an encore. The ladies' cho rus, consisting of Misses Hildebrand, Swisher, Whitlock land Smith, added much to the pieasure of the entertain ment, in the song, "Charity." The full chorus, of 25 members sang at three different times during the evening. The singing was very much enjoyed. Mrs. Rockwood directed the choruses and accompanied them at the same time on the piano.
