an extended ordinance having to do
with the method of collection OF taxes.

property OF the taxpayer. and gives the
City Attorney the right to proceed to
the collection of delinquent taxes owed
to tho city by those owning property
by Judgment or otherwise. In other
words. II gives the city the same legal
rights In proceeding to collect out
standing bills that all private citizens

In this connection 1t may be mem

that the death of the poet Percy
Bysshe Shelley, in July 1879. In the
Gulf OF Spezia, was not due to acci-

ship OF the Clan Macdonald, which
was held by tho present Lord Macdon-

were surrendered by him to Alexander
Bosville, on tho latter being nble to
prove In the Scottish courts that his

contrary, been legitimized sufficiently
to meet Scotch requirements by his
parents Gretna Green marriage and

the full-flcdged Religious ceremony OF
marriage according to the riteg OF the
Church OF England, which took place
after his birth. But this legitimiza

consequently. remained to the present

was born after the Church OF England

Recruiting Sergeant Says
Army Has No Compan-
les of Sharpshooters.

Men travelling over the country
claiming to have authority to organize
companies of sharpshoOters for ser
vice in case of Mexican Intervention
are branded as frauds by H. S. Hatton,
recruiting sergeant of the local sta
ton. He said that such persons had
no connection with the army, and in
speaking Of such organizations show
ed they had no knowledge of the ar
my.
in the army there are no companies
battalions of corps of sharpshOoters.
The ranking of marksmen, sharp
shooter and expert riflemen are given
to stimulate interest in the use of
small arms. To attain any of these rat
ings, which carry with them an in
crease of salary, the soldiers compete
on target ranges, says Sergeant Hat
ton.

per cent of hits in a range of from 200
to 600 yards. He is then eligible to

yards The highest rank is given only
after the other two, and to men firing
under varied and adverse conditions.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11.-Acts of
the new Mexican congress will not be
recognized by the American govern
ment as valid. This government will
take the same attitude toward the
newly elected senators and deputies
that it has taken toward General
Huerta.
This development of the Mexican
situation was the outstanding Incl
dent of the day Washington observ-
ers believe that the crisis will come
when the new congress assemblies and
tries to gain financial support from
European governments.
BY this time, unless Huerta is elm
mated, President Wilson's policy will
include drastic measures. These
hinge in great measure on the attitude
taken by Europe. AS long as Huerta
is encouraged by European financial
interests, he will make a stubborn
fight to maintain himself in power

INCREASED WAGES
FOR At LEAST zoo
TRAINMEN IN CITY
Report of Arbitration Board
Provides For I Per Cent
Increase.
ID CISION IS FINAL
One Half of Entire Number,
Affected on Richmond Di-
vision, Live Here.

Between 200 and ESQ trainmen and
employees of the Richmond division OF
the Pennsylvania system will be di-
rectly affected by the recent decision
of the railroad arbitration board.
granting an increase of per cent be-
ginning October l. The board, which
has had the matter under considera-
ton for more than year. made its
final report TO the federal district court
at New York last evening and the
decision is snal.
Passenger conductors and brake
men. freight conductors and brake
men. yard men and conductors and
yardmasters come under this new de
cisioL, which came as the result of
the Newlands arbitration amendment
of the Erdman act. Although the rep
resentatives of the forty-nine railroad
companies involved in the sght. filed a
dissenting report, the decision must
be accepted by the railroad companies.
Fixes New Scale.
The scale of wages as fixed by the
| board is as follows.
Conductors. S135; baggagemen. SS2.-
| so; fiagmen and rear brakemen.. SIS;
! brakemen. $3.50: overtime. per hour.
conductors. 45 cents: assistant conduc-
tors and ticket sellers. 357; baggage
men, 27.5; fiagmen and rear brake
men. % cents; brakemen. 25.5.
For the freight service the chief
awards are: Through runs. conduc-
tors. 4 cents a mile; flagmen. 2.67:
! brakemen, 2.67 a mile: any run less
than 100 miles to be paid for as if IL
were 100 miles. In way freight. pick
up or drop, mine or roustabout serv-
ice, same minimum. conductors are
fawarded $3.50 a day of 100 miles or
less, ten hours or less; fagmen. S3-10.
and brakemen, So. overtimes to be paid
for as time and one-half.
OF vital importance to the employees
is the finding that the present sched-
ules of pay are not to be changed or
disturbed in any way where they ex-
coed the amounts named. Nor are
employees to be curtailed either In
mileage or hours of labor to Offset the
increases granted.
Increases Average Ten Dollars.
Out OF the entire number affected
on the Richmond division more than
half are Richmond railroad men. The
increase will average approximately
SO more on the month to every man
within the rulings of the decision The
board found that since the last in
crease in 1909 that the cost of living
had raised at least per cent.
| When the railroad Representatives
opposed the decision they pointed out
to the board that the earning powers
of the roads would not permit the in
crease. but the board in retaliation
said that the interstate commerce COM
mission would have to decide on the
raising of rates n that was the only
possible method OF relief.
The Pennsylvania company was rep
resented by w. w. Atterbury. a vice
president of the road. Although the
chesapeake G. Ohio road has a large
part of its property north OF the Ohio
river, ii is not affected by the ruling.
II is controlled by the southern
board OF arbitration.

ENGLAND SOUNDS WARNING.
Westminster Gazette Voices Support
of American Diplomacy.

Westminster Gazette Voices Support
of American Diplomacy.
LONDON. Nov. 11.-A warning to
General Huerta was sounded today by
the Westminster Gazette, the govern
ment paper. commenting on Premier
Asquiths Guildhall speech, in which
he made it plain that no antagonism
exists between England and the
United States in regard to Mexico, The
Gazette says:
The idea that any valid election in
the sense in which Democratic or con-
stitutional countries understand the
word can be held in Mexico. is prota-
bly, domestic fiction, but the electOr-
al head was of General Huerta's own
choosing and it is we'll to keep him
reminded that his failure to conform
to its results leaves all governments
free to reconsider their acts of recog-
milton.
Briefly the limit of British action,
or that the British government should
not put itself in a position of making
protests, which in default of fOrcible
action might be flouted and defied.
Semi-official confirmation was OBJ
tanned today that England will with
draw recognition of the Huerta gov
ernment in Mexico unless steps are i'm
mediately taken TO conform to the de
mands of the United States.
