Tia Juana Safe

TIA JTANA. MEX, May lo.--De-
spite repor. that a Mexican force
was advancing from Ensenada To re-
capture Tia Jiana from the insur-
gents. who occupied II yesterday, no
new attack lie expected by the new
garrison. Two hundred and eighty
soldiers comprise the. present ga7rs~

fend the town against any force the
federais can muster.
The full death List OF yesterdays
short engagement will probably never

brought in to-day and eleven wound
ed were brought across the border.
but IT Is believed there are more in
surgent dead In the hills. The fed
eral dead cannot be ascertained, al
though the insurgents commander.
General Sam Pryee, estimates them
at eighteen.
Many of the former garrison of
Tia Juana have surrendered to the
American troops near San Diego. The
other federais are believed to have

city. Only the street barricades and
other outlying defenses OF the city had
fallen into their hands. They had, how
ever. completely surrounded the garri-
son in the barracks, Jail. customs house
and church.
The rebels ceased their attack at
night fall, evidently fearing that Gen.
Navarro had taken advantage of the
recent armistice to mine the streets of
the city, and some of the principal
buildings. The insurgents, therefore,
refused to enter any of the downtown
buildings, preferring to take chances in
the open.
City In Flames
All night long there was intermittent
hring but most of the troops on both
sides took advantage of the night to get
some rest In preparation for today's
conflict. Fires started In the afternoon
by the insurgents broke out. anew at
nightfall and spread from a dozen
points In the city. The Juarez post
office and several adjoining buildings
were destroyed. At 1 A. NJ. the fires
began to subside and general Orozco,
commanding the insurgents. ordered
his entire force OF 1900 into action
against the penned UP federals.
Orozco and Villa hoped, by concen-
tratlng their entire attack on the build
ings defended by Navarro. to drive the
federals into the open and force Navar-
70 to surrender. Navarro appeared to
be pIen,ifully supplied with ammuni-
ton however, and his men poured a.
whitening fire into the rebel ranks as
they attempted 10 carry the Jail and
barracks by assault at dawn to-day.
Madero Not In Fight.
Madero himself has not actively par
'ticipated in the fighting at Juarez
leaving the direct command there TO
Orozco and Villa, while Blanco remains
with 800 men outside the city, prepar-
ing to prevent any flank movement.
The fighting Of yesterday has par
italy wrecked Juarez. Many buildings
In the business district have been de-
molished by cannon fire or rtddled by
rife bullets. The streets are filled with
debris and II will require months to
repair the damage.
IL is impossible as yet to get an ac-
curate estimate Of the dead and wound
ed in Juarez, although a Red Cross
physician declared today that at least
100 had been killed and twice that
many wounded Most OF the insurgent
wounded have been brought here, The
federals are caring for their own
wounded.

REFUSES TO COMMISSION.
Gov. BIeaSe Holds That Federal JuriSt
is Ineligible to Serve as Trustee
OF High School.

Columbia, December l2.-GoVernor
Blease today refused to commission
United States Judge H. A. NJ. Smith
as one of the trustees Of the hlgh
school of Charleston on the ground
that the constitution for5!ds the hold
inc of two offices of honor or profit at
the same time. Il am informed" says
the governor, that Mr.. H. A. NJ. Smith
is United States Judge and also a men,
her of the State historical commission,
and now I am asked to commission
him as trustee of the Charleston high
school. which is certainly position
of high honor, and since the State con-
stitution forbids the holding Of two Of
fees of honor or profit at the same
time T cannot and will not commission
Mr.. Smith as trustee Of the
Charleston high school, Gov. Blease
stated in his letter to Mr.. R. G. O.
Neale, the secretary OF the charleston
high school board, that he considered
Mr.. Smiths serving as a federal judge
and at the same !ime a member Of the
State h;syorlc;s- commission a direct
violation of the constitution.
It will be remembered that in a mes
sage to the last session Of the general
assembly Governor B!case called at
tention to the open violation of this
provision of the State constitution in
the case of several nlen prominent IN
public life, and especially raised the
question as to whether this applied to
Clemson trustees. The general assem-
bly, passed resolution asking the at
torney general to bring suit to deter
mine the question.

ton, which was not a private one, Mr..
Ellerbe said that the News and Cour-
ier correspondents version Of his re-
marks was substantially correct but
reiterated his expressions of friendli-
ness to Senator Tillman.
Senator and Mrs. Tillman went to
Atlantic City, n. J., today, to visit their
daughter, Mrs. Moore, who resides
there. They expected to return to
Washington tomorrow or Monday, and
will probably leave here for home

ENDORSES TILLMAN AND BLEASE
CONGRESSMAN Ellerbe Promises Sup
port to Senator During Interest
ing Conversation.

Washington, Dec. "a very inter-
esting episode Of Senator Tillman's re-
turn to Washington was a call paid
upon him at his Office oy Representa-
tive J. Edwin Ellerbe, of the 9Th South
Carolina district. Mr.. Ellerbe came to
pay his respects to the senator and
to tell him that, in spite of the fact
that he had suffered injustice from
the senator in several matters, in
cluding the Gibraltar letter, he was
heartily in favor of the senator's re-
election.
Says Sixth Almost Solid.
Mr.. Ellerbe declared that nearly all
of the votes of the 9Th district would
be cast for Senator Tillman, and re-
marked jocularly that he (Mr. Ellerbe)
would challenge the few that might
be cast otherwise.
AS to the statement of Mr.. Ellerbe
that the senator had done him an in
justice, the senator said that it was
untrue. Mr.. Ellerbe insisted that he
could prove its truth.
TilIman and BleaSe.
Among other things, the representa-
tive of the 9Th district asserted that
within his recollection, South Carolina
had had only two governors, with the
accent On the word governors, and
that they were Governor Tillman and
Governor Blease.
These two, said Mr.. Ellerbe, were
the only ones that had always been
fools enough to do what they thought
right
Mr.. Ellerbe said that he believed
that in the event of Senator Tillman's
death, Governor Blease would appoint
Representative Lever senator; and Mr..
Ellerbe also declared that he himself
would support Blease against Smith
for the other seat when the time came.
Wants Free Delegation.
Another matter which Mr.. Ellerbee
broacheG in his visit to Senator Till
man was the representatives desire
that the South Carolina delegation to
the next National Democratic conven-
ton should go uninstructed. Mr.. FL
lerbe, who is a strong advocate Of
Champ Clark's nomination, asked the
senator if be did not agree that the
delegation should be uninstructed. Sen
ator Tillman replied that he did not
run the State, and that this matter
could best be left with the people of
South Carolina, and that whatever
they wished would be satisfactory to
him.

HOW TO COLLECT INCOME TAX.
Important Ruling Made by the Comp
trolIer General-Letter to An
Auditor.

''No deduction can be made on ac-
count of payments to pastors salary
or charity or on account of bad debts
or accounts lost" is the ruling con-
tanned in an opinion given by Comp
troller General Jones yesterday on the
income tax question. In the letter the
comptroller general enumerates the
various items that may be deducted
from taxpayers annual income.
The letter is written to TN. Nc
Michael, auditor of Orangeburg coun-
ty, and is as follows:
Answering your letter of Decem-
Der s, in which you enclose the income
tax return for 1911 and request that I
pass upon the exemptions claimed
therein, I beg to say that this is your
duty as county auditor. You are to
apply to each case as it comes up, ths
principles laid down in the instruc-
tions already issued from this Office:
and think you could readily solve the
matter by referring to my letter to
you of March 9, 1909, together with
the recent circular sent you. However.
! have looked over the return sent me.
from which it appears that the taxpay-
ers proposed paying upon their net
income, instead of the gross income re-
quired by law. This, of course, is
wrong. For instance. They state they
received S5,O18.75 rents from city
property which they rent out; from
this they deduct as non-taxable ST.
407.Se for taxes paid, S374 for insur-
ance upon property, and s1,O4S92 in
terest upon debts that they owe, and
S501.SS for expenses Of repairs, col
lecting rents, etc.
d, Items Not, Deducted.
The items Of insurance and inter
est are clearly not to be deducted
as expenses of carrying on business.
This is small fixed charge upon the
capital owned by the taxpayer.
The S501.8S for repairs and COL
lections should be looked into and so
much as was paid out as commissions
for renting the property and collect
ing the rents is to be deducted from
the gross rents as part of the nee
essary expenses in their production.
But nothing should be deducted on
account of repairs and improvements
to the property.
II doubt whether the taxes which
are deducted in this return are the
taxes only upon the real estate. It
appears that these taxes are the taxes
upon all of the taxpayers property,
and do not pertain to these rents alone.
Estimated Expenses.
LAS to the estimated expenses OF
the taxpayers warehouse business, OF
course the actual expenses of such
business are to be deducted from the
GROSS income made in such business
But no deduction can be made on &C.
count Of payments to pastors salary
or charity or on account of bad debt
or accounts lost. There are in nc
sense a part of the expenses Of pro.
ducing the income from the business.
"You should also look into what il
the actual income from this ware
house business. The taxpayers state
it is 5 per cent. profit on 100000 es'
timated sales. This is very unsatls
