WAR WITH MEXICO
Deemed PROBABLE
President Taft Contemplates
Calling Congress to Consider
Invasion.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 10-Develop-
nients since Saturday, when affairs In
the Mexican situation suddenly took a
turn for the worse, have not tended to
clarity the situation. Washington is
all agog over rumors that war with
Mexico is impending, and that Pres
ident Taft seriously is considering call
ing congress In special session to con-
slider sending an army OF invasion
across the Rio Grande.
President Taft has not stated den-
nitely that he will call a session of con-
gress. but there is great excitement in
the war department circles and rumors
are afioat that some action may be ex-
pected within a few hours. The pres
ident remains in touch with the war
department so that he can be located
on a. )st an instant's notice.
Plays Waiting Game.
Mr.. Taft is inclined to await further
developments. He prefers not to force
the ISSUE, at least until he has heard
further from President Madero, Of
Mexico, to whom he sent warning Fri
day through the Mexican ambassador.
The gist of the presidents message
was that unless the Madero govern
ment can cope with the situation i'm
mediately the American government
will be forced to act.
The president cannot act without the
consent of congress. Just what con-
gress would do in case an extraordi-
nary session is called is only a matter
of conjecture. 1t is believed in official
circles here, however, that congress
and the administration cannot long ig-
more the pleas for an invasion Of Mex
leo hat constantly are pouring in pon
the state department, not only from
Americans in Mexico and refugees
from that country, but from citizens
in all parts of the country, whose SYM
pathieS have been aroused by the re-
peated atrocities in the revolt-ridden
republic.
General Uprising Feared.
This government finds itself in
something of a predicament. Had the
United States aiken action several
months ago it woul nave had less
explaining to do to other nations.
Should this country decide upon an In
vasfon of Mexico now considerable
delicacy would ave to be exercised by
the state department.
Then, too, there is the possibility of
a general UPRISING among the Latin
American states against the United
States. 1t is felt here that they might
interpret the move into Mexico aB the
f~orerunner of an attempt on the part
of the United States government to
secure sovereignty over all that por-
ton of the country between the
United States and Panama.
1t is felt, however, that n crisis is at
hand, and that definite action cannot
be much longer delayed.

promised reforms. Not for one day
since his Inauguration has his country
been free from rebels who loudly de.
manded sfulfllment Of his promises"
and not yet has the executive had a
congress on which he could depend for
h support of he measures he has
promised.
The congress Madero inherited was a
part of the old administration. The
new congress is supposed to be in sym
pathy with his ideas. Under h old
congress, however, the administration
cherished reform-the constitutional
amendment providing for the nom
reelection OF the president. The cleo
toral law was also altered. but the cleo
tons OF h past summer betrayed so
many defects in the new law that 1t
will come up again for revision IN this
session. One of the defects most glar-
ing. 1t was found, was that it permitted
a man to be a candidate for an in
definite number of offices at h same
time. Fol instance. Francisco de la
Barra, former provisional president,
who was made a member of the senate
on the Catholic ticket, vas a candidate
In four different states.
Among those measures known to be
ready for presentation at the session
beginning in September are an en-
ployers' liability act, the abolition Of
the jefes politicos, an a~nti-peonage
law and a measure for establishing
courts Of Jurisprudence for the settle
nent of land titles In cases where the
records are missing. In many hundreds
Of cases the records were burned dur
ing the past revolution and in those
revolutions yet existing.
Another dramatic chapter was added
to the story of the massacre of soldiers
and citizens at Ticuman by Zapatistas
by Gerald Brandon, an American news
paperman working on Ell Diario of this
city. Two of the passengers on the
train assaulted by the Zapatistas were
II. l.. Strauss and Ignacio Herrerias,
Mexican correspondents. Another was
Miguel Rivera, a newspaper photog-
rapher. All were slain and their
bodies, with those of.the other victims,
burned. Brandon visited the long heap
of human ashes a few days later and
the first person, which he sent to his
paper, "swore to forsake his attitude
of neutrality and to avenge the death
Of his companions"
The remainder of the story vas
brought here by the officer in COM
mand of the detachment with which
Brandon vas riding. From this officer
Brandon asked a rifle and cartridges.
The next day the little force of fed
erals a a brush with the rebels.
Brandon was firing from the ground
near the officer. There's one for
Strauss" said Brandon to the officer,
pointing to a fallen rebel. A few min
utes later another rebel crumpled down
n Brandon, turning to the officer.
added: That was for Ignacio; now
one more for Miguel" Again a rebel
pitched forward, and Brandon sliding
over to the officer. handed him the
rife and cartridge belt with the re-
mark that he had done his part in
making the score even.

he can readily ship onions it often
pays better to grow the green
onions for punching in the spring
rather than the ripe crop.
For this crop | SOW seed in April

to make small onions or sets about

September. In colder localities
the sets should be kept over till

plant in the fall and usually have
them ready for punching in early
March.
There is another onion that is
planted from sets in the fall. This
is the Yellow Potato onion, which
is grown for green punching onions

MILLINERS' PROFITS.

A New York retailer Of millinery
goods has introduced an innovation in
the selling Of trimmed hats, that is
exacting a charge of fifteen cents for
a nat box in which a hat sold under
elght dollars is delivered. claiming
that the margin Of profit is so small
on mats sold under that price thai this
charge is a necessity. This is some
what OF an innovation but is not un-
common in foreign cities. And when
goods are sold at auction the packages
IN which the goods are delivered are
charged for. Our own government
carries this principle out in assessing
duty on various ines Of millinery
goods. The same percentage Of duty
mat Is assessed on the goods is also
imposed on the OGDEN cases and
p~asteboard cartons in which the goods
are shlpped, thus making it appear
mat The boxes derive their value in
Inc eyes OF the government solely
from their contents, a ruling for which
mere can be no justification in ethics
or common sense. The
