Nv ASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. Is.
NJ The President discussed with
W his cabinet today the Mexican
situation.
Overnight developments apparent
iy have brought no change. Keen in
terest is shown in the organization of
the Mexican congress. Some of the
officials are inclined to believe that
congress will heed the warning of the
United States and take no action on
the concessions submitted to them
by President Wilson.
Talk of blockading Mexican ports
was revived. but high officials said
such step had not been determined.
The report that Carranza might
not need the embargo on arms lifted
to insure his success, strengthened
the conviction of many officials that
such step will be taken only as a
remote possibility.
The cabinet meeting was described
by secretaries as a general discussion
of the situation without a concrete
conclusion. There is a general dis
position to await developments with
confidence.

REV. VIM. H. CALFEE, FORMER

tor Of the Bethel church near this
city. had pronounced the last word
of the benediction at Sunday nights
services he collapsed in the pulpit.
His upraised hands sank to his sides
and he fell. apparently lifeless, his
body striking the floor with great
force.
News of the incident reached this
city in the Denver papers and in let
ters from Mrs. Calfee to friends here
The congregation was in an uproar
In moment as they saw their pastor
lying inert on the platform.
He was picked up and first aid
was administered with the effect that
he recovered consciousness In a few
moments and was taken in a cab to
his home on South Bannock street
where he Is now i'll.
Rev. Calfee's attack was the re-
suit Of an old operation for Appendix
citis which he underwent many years
ago. He suffered from it several
times while he was local minister
In talking of the affair Rev. Calfee
said that the pain from the effects
of the old operation was intense at
times and that he had found 1t al
most unbearable while preaching the
evening service. The collapse came
with the reaction Just as he finished
the benediction.
Rev. Calfee is well known here
Two years ago he was married to
Miss Olive Flint at Newcastle where
he was formerly pastor. Keen re-
gret at his illness was expressed to-
day by his old friends.

Grand Junction and the sewer dis
trict OF Fruita who have not paid
their special assessments face an ex-
traordinary burden if their property
goes to sale.
The statutes governing the pay
ment of special assessments for paw
ing and sewer taxes when delinuuent
is n harsh one.
Sewer and paving taxes are paid
in ten installments, due February 2S
OF each year, but when any INSTALL
ment is not paid when due II is pro-
vided in the statutes that the proper
ty shall be sold, not only for the one
delinquent payment. but for all the
payments to become due In the fu-
ture. Thus the taxpayer loses the
privilege of paying in installments
and must meet the whole amount at
one time. In addition to this penal
ty of 10 per cent Il per cent per
month from March l to Dec. l2) on
the whole amount due is added to
to the assessment. Thus II property
goes to sale the first year of the as
sessment the cost of the sewer or paw
ing improvement Is increased by 10
per cent.
Under these conditions 1t Is evident
that sale of property for sewer or
paving taxes Is much more serious
matter than sale for general
taxes.

Talk of the possibility OF Huerta

1t is suggested here that Washing

Huerta will resign after congress has

Mexican officials seem convinced
that the United States is bluffing.
Mexicans are quoted as saying that
they are satisfied that there will be
no armed interference with their af-
fairs. Foreign residents comment on
the continued absence of any anti
American spirit among the Mexican
populace despite efforts OF certain
native newspapers to stir up such
feeling.
Similar efforts at the time of the
Madero revolution filled the stref,S

absence by the fact that the present
controversy fails to enlist the sympa-
