Senate Democrats Yield to
Flood of Protests and Let

RATE, HOWEVER, DOUBLED
Caucus Considers Proposal to Sub

Munitions Excise Tariff
i Board's Pay Increased.
' WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. Tlelding to
a flood of protests from the country
and from Senate and House members
of their own party. Democrats of the
Senate finance committee reconsidered
today their decision to lower the ex
emption In the income tax law from
$4000 to $3000 for married and single
persons to $3000 and $2000, respectively,
but voted to make the rate of tax on
the lowest taxable class of Income 2
per cent Instead of 1 per cent. This
action was approved later by the
caucus.
Had the committee declined to yield
on the amendment the Democratic Sen
ate caucus probably would have re
versed It. The amendment Increasing
the surtax on incomes exceeding $2,000,
000 from 10 to 13 per cent is retained
COO from 10 to 13 per cent is retained.
The caucus voted down proposals to
make the surtax as high a sl5, 20 and
even 25 per cent, as some Senators ad
vocated. Profit Tax Under Consideration.
The Democratic caucus continued to
night consideration of committee
amendments and had before it the pro
posal agreed on by the committee late
In the day, striking out the specific
excise taxes on munitions manufactur
ers and substituting a 10 per cent net
profit tax on the profits of all manu
facturers of munitions and wares that
enter into munitions. The text of the
amendment follows:
"That every corporation manufactur
ing gunpowder and other explosives,
cartridges, loaded and unloaded, caps
or primers, or projectiles, shells or tor
pedoes of any kind. Including shrapnel,
loaded or unloaded, or fuses, or com
plete rounds of ammunition, firearms
of any kind, and appendages, including
Fmall arms, cannon, machine guns, ri
fles and bayonets, electric motorboats,
submarines or submersible vessels or
boats, shall pay for each taxable year
an excise tax of 10 per centum on their
entire net profits actually received or
accrued for said year from the sale or
disposition of such articles manufac
tured within the United States.
Rate Fixed at 10 Per Cent.
"Every corporation selling or manu
facturing any material entering Into
or used as a component part in the
manufacture of any of the articles
herein enumerated shall pay for each
taxable year an excise tax of 10 per
centum upon their net profits actually
received or accrued for said year from
the sale or disposition of such materia
so entered into or used as a component
part In the manufacture of the articles
enumerated, as aforesaid.
"This section shall cease to be of ef
feet at the end of one year after the
termination of the present European
war, which shall be evidenced by the
proclamation of the President of the
United States declaring said war to
have ended."
The committee also adopted today an
amendment increasing the salaries of
members of the proposed Tariff Board
from $7500 to $10,000 each. This was
not reached by the caucus.
As revised by the committee, the bill
wiiryield an estimated annual revenue
of $198,000,000. as against $210,000,000
as it passed the House. The net de
crease is due to the change in the
munitions tax, the House method pro
viding for $72,000,000 and the Senate
plan for $45,000,000.

D.
W. GRIFFITH completed ar
rangements with Klaw &
Erlangrer in New York this week
to take over the Liberty Theater there
for the season 1916-17 beginning Au
gust 21. His first production will be
the new colossal spectacle "Intolerance"
which he designated as a sun play of
the ages.
Mr. Griffith has been at work upon
this story for over five years. It is
an original idea consisting of parallel
narratives coming down through four
ages in the world's development. The
connecting link between the past and
present reveals that the same force
which has created crises in the world's
affairs Is at work today. In this pro
duction Mr. Griffith has set a new
mark and created his most ambitious
achievement. Greater backgrounds have
been made for his action than were
ever revealed before. In his principal
scenes he has utilized more people than
were ever seen in any production.
Intolerance will be presented for
the first time in any theater at the
Liberty Theater on Tuesday night, Au
gust 22. This is the production which
has been referred to heretofore as "The
Mother and the Law," a title which
was used solely for working purposes.
It tells a modern story which depicts
the suffering and adventures of a
young couple who happen to be caught
in the whirlpool of so-called social
reform.
In joining his modern story to
ancient events Griffith has made a
wide departure from all stage con
struction of the past. He elaborates
upon his original invention of the
switch-back to flash parallel narratives
of the fall of Babylon, the advent of
the Nazarene into Judea and the Mas
sacre of St. Bartholomew in Paris in
1572. In each locale he Introduces
analogous characters to the protagon
ists of his modern story and shows
them engulfed in the same vortex of
intolerant opinions which are the nega
tive forces in his main theme. The
historic surroundings of these various
periods are presented in elaborate and
accurate detail.
Some of the greatest characters In
the world's development are pictured
at war with the irresistible currents of
thought which dominated their ages
and all lead to the approaching era of
individual responsibility tempered with
the mutuality of brotherly understand
ing between men.
Drew Against Films.
John Drew Is unhappy about Nazi
mova having signed a contract .to ap
pear in photo dramas under the direc
tion of Herbert Brenon in the newly
organized Herbert Brenon film corpora
tion. He told Nazimova so himself as
he met her in the lobby of the Knick
erbocker Hotel, where she had been
lunching with Mr. Brenon.
"Madame Nazimova," said Mr. Drew,
T regret ever so deeply that you
have succumbed to the screen.
'Why?" asked the actress.
T want to hear your wonderful
voice. Mr. Drew replied. It Is a
severe blow to the stage that an actress
like yourself robs It of her presence,
even for a short time.
But I do not regret It," Nazimova
replied, "because I believe the photo
drama is going to be a great art and
a living one. For what I lose in not
being able to use my voice, I am going
to find compensations tnrougn employ
ing other means of expression, w hy
I am just dying to get out into the
open air, to get away from the con
fines of the stage." Then she added
with a twinkle in her eye, "How I look
forward to the day when I shall roll
down a steep cliff and upon recovering
consciousness, look up into the eyes of
mv handsome hero.
Concerning all of which Mr. Brenon
observed: "Mr. Drew is like a man
1 used to know at Montauk Point. He
had lived there all his life. When
told him that aeroplanes were making
flights with passengers, he told me he
did not believe it. and when I said that
one day they would be flying across
the Atlantic with passengers, he said It
was ridiculous. Mr. Drew seems to
regard the pbotodrama of today as
the old Montauk hermit regarded a toy
kite neither seems to realize that the
world moves on. The aeroplane has
evolved from the kite the photodrama
from the moving picture.
J, "Please Help Emily." has been
chosen to play the star part in the first
motion picture written, produced and
exhibited under the McClure trade
mark. Miss Murdock is not new to
pictures, having already starred on the
Metro, V. L. S. E. and Paramount pro
grammes. Miss Murdock succeeded to
the parts in Frohman productions that
Marie Doro and Billie Burke used to
play and there Is every reason to be
lieve that she will duplicate their suc
cess in pictures.

Screen Gossip.
They say that William Farnum has
appeared so many times in late months
garbed as a miner, trapper or other
wise flannel and boots member of so
ciety, that he just yearns for the most
formal apparel. However, it has been
announced that "The End of the Trail"
is his last outdoors picture for some
time and that the next film will offer
a Farnum of sack suits and evening
dress.
It was intended originally to photo
graph the scenes for "The Quitter" on
the Mexican border, but the disturb
ance in that section necessitated a
change in plans. So the splendid out
door scenes of the story were filmed at
Delaware Water Gap, Pa.
Jule Power, who enacts the role of
Lois Stafford in "Gloria's Romance,"
has been honored by having a new
facial cream named after her. Miss
Power has already consented to having
the Jule toilet water named for her
and the latest rose of a New York
horticulturist exploited under her
name, but the facial cream came as a
decided surprise.
