WARNED BY TAFT
Must Cease Jeopardizing the
Lives of Americans.
SITUATION GROWING SERIOUS
Commanders Of the American Forces
at the Several Places Instructed
to See That American Cities
Are Not Endangered.

Washington, d. president Taft
is determined that battles between
Mexican federalists and insurrect0s
shall not be fought on American soil.
He is equally determined that the
lives Of American non-combatants
shall not be endangered by the forces
Of President Diaz and those of Gem
eral Madero. Future combats be-
tween the rebels and the forces OF
the Mexican government must not be
fought out so close to the American
line as to put in Jeopardy the lives
and property of Americans.
The Mexican government, accord
ing to the view at the State Depart
ment, will be held accountable for
the loss Of life and injury to Ameri-
cans in Douglas during the fighting
at Aqua Prieta No matter whether
the IRE Of the federals or that Of the
insurrectos inflicted the injury, II
will be the federal government to
which the United States will look for
reparation.
AS soon as official reports upon
the fighting and the casualties sus-
tanned by Americans shall have been
received. representations will be
made to the Mexican government, II
is said, and in due course the claims
Of those injured will be presented.

this continent possesses has 50 far

open well hole In the building into q

drowned before he could be rescued.
The open well hole was in violation

its large damages. will help to EN-.
phasize the highly important fact that
such ordinances are intended to pre-
vent just such accidents. and that dis

There are many ordinances of the

New York.-Favorable legislative
action on the proposed income tax
amendment to the Federal Constitu-
ton is lacking in 18 of the s States.
The Legislatures of 28 States have
ratified the measure, have rejected
It, Q have adjourned without action
and in 8 States the matter is still
pending. In I'VE Of these favorable
action is expected and in four the re-
suit is problematical.
The figures are the result OF Q
canvass Of the various State capitols
to determine the status of the pro-
posed change in the Constitution.
AS the amendment does not become
effective until ratified by three
fourths of the States, or 35, it's adop-
tion during the present sessions OF
the State Legislatures, now nearing
adjournment, seems unlikely.
The Pc poss d Amendment
The resolution. which was passed
By the United States Senate, July 5,
1909, and BY the House Of Repre-
sentatives July ~, 1909, provides
for this addition to the Constitu-
tion:
ARTICLE Is. The Congress shall
have power to lay and collect taxes
on incomes, from whatever source
derived, without apportionment
among the several States, and with
out regard to any census or enumera-
ton.
OF the nine Legislatures in which
ratification OF the proposed amend
ment is pending. that Of Florida has
referred the matter to COMMITTEES
without discussion; in Minnesota the
House has acted favorably, and
similar action by the Senate is pre-
dicted; at Albany neither house has
acted this year; in Wisconsin the
resolution has passed in the As
sembly and awaits action in the
Senate
A Game Of See-Saw.
Opposition to the amendment in
Connecticut has blocked the resolu-
ton in committee. While advicee
from Hartford indicate that the
House may approve, the result in the
Senate is uncertain.
In Arkansas the House recently
adopted q resolution approving the
amendment, but the Senate rejected
It.
The matter will come up In
Massachusetts, this week, and while
favorable action in the House is ex-
pected, the prediction is made that
the Senate will defeat the measure
In New Jersey and Pennsylvania the
matter is still in committee.
The Louisiana Legislature defeated
the measure at last years session
The new Legislature will convene II
May, 1912, and the measure may
then be passed.

Since it has been decided to estab-
lish municipal baths for the million
at Coney island. other and ever more
ambitious plans for its improvement
have been formulated. These include
: continuous walk and drive along

has been authorized by government
engineers. A contract has been let
for q rip-rap wall, forty feet thick
at its base and twenty feet at the

BRITISH FORCE LANDS


Great Britain Takes Initiative In
Foreign Intervention.
Washington, d. ca force Of 80
men and a maxim gun from the Brit
ish man-of-war Clearwater were
landed at San Quintin. Mex, to pro-
tect that town against threatened
attack of insurgents. The revolution
airy movement, however, did not ma
terialize, and the Britishers and the
gun were withdrawn.
This, the first actual landing OF
foreign forces on Mexican soil In con-
nection with the present revolution,
was reported to the State Department
in telegram from American Consul
Schumacher at Ensenada. The tele-
gram did not state just when the
landing occurred.
When all danger to San Quintin
from the insurgents had passed the
Clearwater sailed for Ensenada, and
her commander advised the Ameri-
can consul of the action he had taken
at San Quintin for the safety of the
town. San Quintin Is port of Low
er California, about 125 miles south
of Ensenada.
State Department officials say that
the landing Of the British force was
not an unusual occurrence in connec-
tion with internal disturbances in
Latin-American countries. They de-
clared that numerous precedents for
the procedure of the Shearwater
could be had.
