Mexico City.-With Zapata and his
allies waging a campaign of destruc-
ton in the south, further evidence OF
the aggresiveness of the rebels in the
north was given when several hundred
OF them, heavily armed and mounted,
captured the town of Manages, a fed
eral stronghold on the National rail-
way in the state of San Luis Potosi.
They cut the railway to the north and
then moved over to Matehula, a min
ing and smelling center. Dozens Of
engagements have taken place during
the last week in various parts of the
republic. The majority OF these have
been victories for the federals, accord
ing to reports here. but in no case
have the rebels lost heavily. The
greatest losses were at Reata, where
their casualties are said TO have num-
bered $50. The rebels continue to
cover new territory and cripple trans
portation facilities. More than $500
miles Of the National railways system
are out OF commission. To this is add
ed a long stretch of the Southern Pa
cific, south of Guaymas, and other
short Independent lines.

Inheritance Tax Increases Revenue.

Copies of the inheritance tax laws
of this state have been mailed by
State Tax Commissioner Fred o. Blue
to more than six thousand corpora
tons, informing them of the change
in the laws by the last session of the
legislature. Through an error in COPY
ing bill by which the word within"
was used instead of the word with
out" West Virginia has lost several
hundred thousand dollars during the
past few years that would have gone
into the state treasury in inheritance
taxes. On account of the error per-
sons residents of other states and hold
ing stock in resident corporations in
this state, escaped paying an inherit
ance tax on such stock.
The last session of the legislature
amended these laws, effective May 10.
1913. The new sections are expected
to increase the revenue from inherit
ance at least a hundred thousand dol
lars a year.
