AUTO OWNERS READY TO FILE A SUIT.
Win Attack Special Privilege Law w.-Proeeed-
ings to Be Instituted After Time Limit
for Payment of he Tax Expires.

Three hundred automobile owners in
Mississippi have joined in the plan tc
attack the constitutionality ofthe clause
in the new privilege tax law assessing q
special tax on automobiles, graduated
according to the horse power of the
machine.
Proceedings to restrain the cole ction
of the tax will be filed against State
Auditor Thompson in the Kinds county
chancery court after the 1st Of August,
this being the final time limit for pay
ment of the tax.
The two main grounds of the fight
will be that the privilege tax is form
of double taxation and also class legis-
lation; that automobile owners are as
sessed on the value of their machines,
and should not be compelled to pay a
special tax for the mere privilege of
owning autos, no more than an indi-
vidual should be assessed for the privi-
lege Of owning horse.
It is estimated that there are alb out
1000 automobiles in Mississippi. Up
to date not one-third of the own ers
have paid the privilege tax. The pros :
pective litigation will be filed by Hon.
Jas. r, Mcdowell, former assistant at
torney general.

BLOW AT PEACE IN RUMoRs
Efforts OF an American Syndicate TO
Sell Tract on Pacific Is Blamed
for Senatorial Tales of
Grab.

Washington, May 3.-President Taft
informed the senate Wednesday that
the department of state has no evil
dence to show any acquisition of land
OF any intention or desire to acquire
land, whether directly or indirectly. in
Mexico by or on the part of the impe-
rial Japanese government.
The presidents message was in re-
Spouse to a senate resolution calling
for information regarding an alleged
purchase OF land at Magdalena bay
by the Japanese government or by a
Japanese company.
With his brief message the presi-
dent transmitted a full report from
Secretary Of State Knox.
There is nothing on file in the de-
partment Of state" said the secretary.
that has justified any inference that
the Mexican government, or the imper-
ial japanese government. has been &C
cupied with. any disposition OF land
near Magdalena bay by which the lat
ter government would acquire land
there for any purpose"
Secretary Knox in his statement
says that the American syndicate
which was negotiating with the Jap
anese for the disposal OF the Magda-
lena bay tract tried to ascertain the
attitude OF the United States govern
ment
The department of state made II
plain that such a transfer OF lands
would be Objectionable. The Ameri-
can syndicate is said TO have known
that the japanese capitalists would
not negotiate with them without the
approval OF the imperial government,
and the latter would not approve il
the United States objected.
This is the reason given by Mr..
Knox for the failure OF the syndicate
TO dispose OF it's land The state de-
partment also had refused 10 sanction
selling any part of the land ~ Japan
ese. even though Americans RENAME 4
In control.
Secretary Knox declared.
The department cannot assume
there IL any project on foot calling for
action on the part OF the United
States"
Senator Rayner said that II Japan
established a base of supply or coal
ing station in Mexico, he would re-
gard the act as declaration OF war.

MRS. HOWE SEEKS REFORM
First Woman Member Suggests That
Poultry Should Be Housed on
Some Part Of the Grounds Other
Than Beneath Grand Stand.

Madison.-At the meeting of the
Wisconsin state board of agriculture
In the rooms Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers association, Milwau-
kee. $500 was appropriated for motor
cycle races TO be held on the last day

an to b. appointed to the board, made
her maiden speech which was full of
suggestions tending to increase the eff
ficieney OF the board Mrs. Howie
said that none but competent judges
should be selected for the different de-
partments of exhibits.
She also suggested that instead of
having the poultry department located
underneath the grand stand, poultry
should be housed on some part of the
grounds which would be more condu-
Give to sanitary conditions. Mrs.
HOWE would use the space now occu-
pied by the poultry department to
show model kitchen, dining room
and sitting room.
Mrs. Howie's remarks were well re-
ceived by the male members of the
board, number of them expressing
the opinion that had a woman been on
the board ere this, it would have
worked to its advantage.
M. J. Sweeney was appointed Gus
todiaa of the fair grounds. He was

the faithful performance of his du-
ties. Mr.. Sweeney is a civil service

CONFLICT OF LANGUAGE.

Austria-Hungary steams with jeal-
ousies and hatreds, with prejudices Of
race and conflicts OF language. 1t is
admitted that were the differences
in language overcome the cuarrels
would cease Germany has realized
that she can never hope to subdue the
Polish national movement until the
Polish language is destroyed, and SO
she is forcing German down the
threats Of the Poles without mercy.
The languages OF China are said to
be as many as a hundred In number
says the Toledo Blade. Each prov
1nce. each district. sometimes clues
and villages, have their own peculiar
dialects. The Manchu has difficulty
In understanding the Chinaman OF
South China During the heat Of the
rebellion the Chinese tested the Man
ehu suspects by making them count.
There was one number at which the
Manchu always betrayed himself.
China has been a mere heap OF semi
Independent states and autonomous
governments. But now she has hopes
Of graduating into a world force,
true nation. In the light OF the fact
that the Chinese cannot get upon
common plane Of language that hope
seems impossible Of fulfillment
