FIRST BATCH
OF POLL TAX
BILLS GO OUT

Today, the personal tax collectors,
Patrick Cuddy, John P. KempIe and
James Holt, Jr, sent out the first
batch Of bills for the personal taxes
of 1910. In all $4,000 were addressed.
The collectors lists contain the names
of 24,0s3 males, between the ages of
21 and 60.
Militiamen, honorably DISCHARGED
soldiers, post office employees and en-
ployes IN the government service are
the only citizens to be exempt from
the tax. Those, also, who have at
tained the age Of SO years are also
exempt. Volunteer firemen would also
be exempt. but it is believed none -ex-
1st in this city, though there was for
merly volunteer force. Some dis
charged soldiers and those who have
passed the so year mark may receive
bills. The collectors have no way Of
ascertaining ages or previous service
and for that reason are sending out
the bills. Proof will have to be sub
natted to the collectors before they
rectify mistakes.
That the citizens may more fully
understand the reason of the tax, and
may know the penalty for failure to
comply, the act Of the Legislature and
the penalty is written upon the back
of the bill sent, as follows:
By an Act of the LEGISLATURE, ap-
v1ded that every male person between
the ages of twenty-one and sixty
years, shall, except as otherwise pro-
vided by law, be liable annually to
pay a personal tax Of 50 for town
and State taxes in lieu of poll and
Communication tax. This tax is now
due and payable at the office of the
Personal Tax Collectors.
IT said tax is not paid on Or before
June 1st 1911, the said Collectors will
be compelled to notify the Prosecut-
ing Attorney of such neglect and re-
fusai. Said Prosecuting Attorney by
the provisions Of said Act must pre-
and said Court shall cause the arrest
Of such delinquent taxpayer and hear
and determine his case. If no proper
ana sufficient reason is shown by such
delinquent taxpayer, why said tax has
not been paid, said Court shall order
the accused to be committed to jail,
until such tax, with interest thereon
and all cost of proceedings, shall be
paid. Any persons committed to jail
under the provisions of said Act shall
De required to do such work as his
physical condition may allow and
shall be discharged when his labor at
the rate Of one dollar a day shall
amount to the said tax and interest
and costs, taxed as in criminal cases
including also the sum of two dollars
and Twenty-Five cents per week for
board during said commitment.
When the tax bill is paid, a receipt
is given, a duplicate being kept by
the collectors. These duplicates come
100 in a book representing 5000 and
are filed away, making it Very simple
for the auditor to go over the books.
With the receipt of the bills. the
collectors are ready to receive remit
tance at any time.

VELEz
AS COMPROMISE
FOR PRESIDENT
Especial from United Press. J

Havana, April 20--Hopeful of being
selected as a compromise candidate in
the threatened political fight between
President Gomez and Vice President
Zayas, General Carlos Garcia Velez.
former Cuban minister at Washington,
is today listening to the buzzing of a
large sized Presidential bee.
There are increasing indications that
President Gomez will not adhere to
the compromise program adopted in
1908 when Alfredo Zayas withdrew
from the Presidential race and accept
ed second place on the ticket in re-
turn for the promise of Gomez sup
port in 1912. Gomez friends are urg
ing him 10 run for reelection and he
is said to favor the idea.
If he does, split in the Liberal
party and q resumption of the old
warfare between the Gomez and Zayas
factions are certain. This would un-
doubtedly result in the election of a
Conservative to avoid which Velez is
being groomed as the only man ca
pable of succeeding Gomez.

.DIAZ REPORTED TO HAVE
MADE SHARP RETORT TO
PRESIDENT TAFTS NOTE.

Washington, April 20.-Callers at
the White House today, with whom
President Taft discussed the Mexican
situation, united in declaring that
Taft was not disposed to regard the
unexpected tenor of the Diaz note, un-
officially reported, as interposing any
obstacle to a speedy settlement Of
horderland conditions.
"a sparring for position" was the
way the President summed up the
Diaz reply. according to Representa-
tive Sladen, (Dem., Tex.), with whom
he had a long talk He was con-
rinced from what the President said
to him that the incident was to be
expected in diplomatic interchanges.
THE President knows the game
said Sladen. "and in his talk with me
! was convinced that he regards the
Diez note rather in the light of a
trivial incident He thinks it Is a
part Of the jockeying for position,
that is an important part of diplo-
macy under such conditions
6aden said that the President had
evidently received confrmatory mes
sages from Mexico. presumably
through Ambassador Wilson, as to the
text Of the Diaz reply, although as yet
it has not been formally transmitted.
According to the unofficial report
the Diaz administration has created
the impression among the Mexicans
about Mexico City and elsewhere that
rnS 1eVOluuOnaIy IOTce lS IdIReiY
made up of Americans.
1t Is said that the DiaZ note, in
stead of promising to take measure
to protect American lives and prop
erty on the border. announced q mere
repetition of previous routine orders
30 the army and on the other hand
blamed the Americans for the border
trouble.
The Diaz note is said to contain
complaints against the conduct of the
American soldiers and officials at
Douglas, Ariz-, who are alleged to
have given aid TO the revolutionists
Tt is asserted that Lieutenant Tron-
coso. of the Federal army, was
wounded by a shot fired from the
American custom house.
Special complaint is made against
"a Major Gardner Captain Gaujot)
in command of the American troops
st Douglas, Ariz-." alleging that ne
snterfered in behalf of the rebels.
Reference is made to the fact that
S rebel whose gun was out of order
crossed the line and had it repaired
by an American soldier. The note is
said to quote q sworn statement by
John Dean, of Douglas. Ariz., to the
effect that the insurgent forces at
Aqua Prieta were largely composed
OF Americans.
The whole tenor of Diaz' reply is
said to be that while the Mexican
government deplores the occurrences
on the border, it does not hold itself
responsible and blames the United
States for the conditions which Taft
specifically asked Diaz to remedy 1t
Is said to state in plain language that
n the opinion of the Diaz govern
ment, the United States is either mis-
informed or is wrongly Interpreting
