 Wounds.

Asbury Park, N. r., Aug. 21-George J. Gray, the aviator, met with an ac- cident at Deal Lake today.

WANTS EQUITABLE
 BASIS OF ASSESSMENT
State Tax Commission Is Considering Tax on Coal and Mineral Lands
 in the State.

Little Rock, Aug. 21.-The Arkansas Tax Commission is attempting to arr rive at an equitable basis of assess ment for the coal and mineral lands of the state, and is in correspondence with the commission of Ohio Kansas and Alabama on the subject. Later. Commissioner Brown may go to To- peka or Columbus to make a person al investigation of the methods em- ployed by those states.
 The Ohio Commission writes thas last year the assessment of mineral lands in that state was increased ST. 100000 over what they were returned by the assessors. An act was pass ed May ?, 1911, for the separate as- sessment of coal lands, as well as oil, gas and mineral, by the county audi tors.
 At the present time these assess ments are made in a hap-hazard man- ner," said Commissioner Brown. II am satisfied there is a great deal of valuable coal land in the state that is assessed at very small per cent of it's actual value"

ARRANGED ON \ SMUGGLING CHARGE Mrs. w. L. Velie, Wife of Motor Gar Manufacturer,
 -a., is Under Arrest
COMPANION HELD, TOO
Made False Statement to Customs House Offlcials.-,Jewelry Is
 Held By Government.

New York Aug 21.-- Mrs. William l.. Velie, wife of the president of the Vele Motor Car Company, of Moline, Ill.,, and her companion. Mrs. Mary J. Lilly, were today arrainged before United State Commissioners Edward K. Stantan in Hoboken on the charge of attempting smuggling. They were paroled in the custody of their cnun- sel, former Senator John C. Spooner and Henry Gennert, for examination on Monday.
 The examination of Mrs Velie's baggage has not yet been completed. The appraisers have discovered s. 900 worth of jewelry and wearing ap- parel so far and predict that the total valuation will not be much below $lO,OOO.
 Mrs. Velie, her daughter, Marjorie, and Mrs. Lilly arrived on Monday. Mrs. Velie stated that she wanted to do some shopping before leaving for Illinois and obtained permission to leave the pier before her baggage had been inspected. She had declar- ed goods valued at only $245 for her. self. daughter and companion. As she turned away, Acting Sur veyor OConnor asked to see the con- tents of her jewel case. What he found convinced him that Mrs. Velie had brought good deal more than the $245 of goods. she had declared. He retained the jewel case and let Mrs. Velie leave. A custom iaspec- tor was assigned to examine the four teen trunks brought home by the Velie party.

the President has come to the con- clusion that Huerta will remain firm Ill his attitude of obstruction to mediation in any form
 Notwithstanding the Presidents continued and persistent optimism as to the result of the diplomatic ef- forts of Mir. Lind, there seems to be no question that he has at last recog- nized that the only settlement of the troubles in Mexico can be had by Congress. The President could not declare war if he thought it neces- sary and he is of the opinion that the United States has no right to inter- vene.
 The net result therefore of sending the diplomatic transaction of the White House and State Department with Mexico, is on it's sface, sug- gestion that Congress may act now in anyway it sees fit and that the ultimate responsibility is no longer at the White House.
 It is probable that after tomorrow that anything that MT. Lind may com municate to the State Department or to the President will be sent to the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate.

PINE BLUFF TO HAVE
 A MOTORCYCLE "COP"
TRAFFIC ORDINANCE WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED AND THERE WILL BE NO
 SPEEDING
Mayor Bloom Asks the CO.OperatiOn of All Who Drive Vehicles or
 Automobiles.

AS soon as the new traffic ordi- nance. which was passed by the city council last Monday night, and which is already effective, is printed and distributed and the auto drivers and teamsters are thoroughly informed of it's provisions and requirements, Pine Bluff is to have a motorcycle cop. This announcement was made yester- day by Mayor Simon Bloom, who stated that the city had already ar ranged to secure a high power motorcycle, which would be in use day and night.
 I've are planning to put on two special traffic patrolmen as authoriz- ed by the council" said Mayor BlooIn, "and I intend to put stop to the speeding that has been going on here, especially at nights, for some weeks, Already I begin to see the benefits of the traffic ordinance, for as a rule the automobilists are complying with the ldW llldHy u luClH uOIA6 everything they can to aid the city of ficials in maintaining good street traffic regulations. If the people who drive buggies and wagons and automobiles cooperate with the city officials we can soon have the best regulated street traffic in the United States. I believe large majority of them will help us. If they do not, will see to it personally that they are arrested and fined in police court. There is no need for reckless driving, which continually endangers life and property. Every driver should keep to the right and in doing so they not only protect themselves but the public generally"

He is looking fine" said Mrs, Car
Another Attorney

The summoning of Mr. Green shields from Montreal to take pre- cedance over all the Thaw lawyer. serves to confirm the impression tha Thaw's relatives, so far as possible are taking the conduct of the cast out of his hands. Wr. Greenshields is described here as one of the ablest lawyers i'll the Dominion, wht rarely takes a criminal case. He is being assisted by MT. Shurtleff oi Coaticook and Charles D. White and Col. Harry Frazier, both of Sher- brooke
 The flaw in the proceedings against Thaw. as they have been conducted in Canada up to the present time, is the commitment on which Thaw was errors in the description of ThaWs status in an asylum, it omits specifi- eally to fix a date for the hearing of the case. This means that Thaw could remain in ail indefinitely until his lawyers took advantage of habeas corpus.
 Immigration officials yesterday were jubilant over attempts to free Thaw, as they knew that when re- leased he would walk out of jail into their hands. They were somewhat taken back because he was not to be produced today.
 Charles D. White said today:
 We delayed taking advantage of the writ of habcas corpus to get bet ter acquainted with the case. 1t may be that we will wait a week. There is corporal'S guard of United States lawyers, and we have to move slowly in order to not step on each others feet"
 The principal worry seems to be how much of the synopsis of Je- rome's speech to the jury in 1908, which he handed out to the press with a request that it be published, was used by the American Canadian papers. The synopsis emphasized Jerome's opinion that Thaw was not insane. The prisoner telegraphed to number of papers, and requested to be supplied with a copy of what was dispatched to them on this speech. All day yesterdays telegrams marked papers for Thaw. This curiosity cost him over a hundred dollars.

Thaw's Flight Route

Cavendish, w., Aug. 21.-H ap pears today that Harry K. Thaw en- tered Canada from Vermont, and not directly from New Hampshire, as had
 been supposed. The village of Beech- CT Falls, where he left the train, is on the Vermont side of the bOuIdry between the States. It is in the town
 of Canaan, Vt.
 This is believed to be the basis for
 the report that Thaw probably would be turned over to Vermont authori- ties. Beecher Falls is in the extreme notheast of the State, close to the Canadian line. From this village Thaw drove, and he probably did not again enter New Hampshire. This point will be directly determined and the Canadian authorities informed accordingly.
 Governor Fletcher, at his home here today, had before him a state-
 ment by Attorney General Rufus E. Brown, in which the attorney declar- ed he considered Thaw an undesira- ble and dangerous person, and that he would advise the surrender of the fugitive to the police of New York State. Spring . Surprise.
 Sherbrooke. Que, Aug. 21.vAfter ar all-night conference, counsel for liar ry K. Thaw announced this morning that they would not produce the Mat teawan fugitive in the superior cour today on the writ of habeas corpu' obtained yesterday.
 They explained that the writ wal returnable at any time and although 10 a. m.. today had been tentativel agreed upon yesterday, they had de cided to delay proceedings pendin further conference. According t present plans, they will use the wri tomorrow morning.
 This marking of time by the defens was due mainly to the arrival las night of MT. and Mrs. Geo. Laude Carnegie, brother-in-law and sister c
 the prisoner, who are anxious that n
 court step be taken until every bul Il wark of defense has been strengthen
 ed. J. D. Greenshields of Montrea an eleventh-hour addition to Ina
 lawyers, pointed out that the writ wa
 returnable at the pleasure of tf
 counsel for Thaw and that 1t woul
 be best to go over his case mol
 thoroughly before coming into court

President Wilson Will Put the Whole Matter Up to
 That Body Today
PENROSE INSISTING
Declares That Americans and Prop. erty Must Be Protected in
 That Country.

Washington, Aug. 21-The Situation involving Mexico and the United States will be put squarely up to Congress by President Wilson. Announcement was made at the White House late today that the reply of General Hureta to the proposals made to Envoy Lind will be sent to Congress probably tomorrow.
 Accompanying the reply will be sent all documents bearing on the situation and special message from the President. At the same time this announcement was made it was of ficially stated that the President has never abandoned hope in the mission of Mir. Lind to Mexico and that he still entertails an opinion that the trouble may be settled Automatically.
 most significant development was that the determination of the President to send a special message to Congress on Mexico came after Senator Penrose had stirred the Senate profoundly by speech and the offering of resolutions, all of which demanded immediate protec- tion of American lives and property ia Mexico.
 Senator Penrose went to the exteh, .gof demanding that the State Depart ment advise Carranza and Hureta that they would be held personally responsible for the death of Amer jeans whom he named in his mes- sages to the State Department.
 Senator Penrose regarded the reply of the State Department as prefunc- tory and unsatisfactory.
 MT. Penrose's speech was based in part upon specific information that he telegraphed to Secretary Bryan and communicated with Senator Bacon, chairman of the Foreign Re- lations Committee, of the danger to two American citizens in Durango. MT. Penrose had already communicat- ed these facts to the State Depart ment, but he had evidently obtained no specific guarantees and he there- fore appealed to Congress for pro lection for his friends.
 It is in the general mind that tue appeal to Congress would have been promptly needed by Congress, but that the next news the public had was the announcement. from the White House that the President would send Congress a special mes sage, together with the documents and the facts. Senator Pearose, also, as a part of his plea and to make it good, demanded that Congress appro- priate $25,O00,0O0 for the maintaln- ance of order and the protection of American lives and property in Mexi- co by the United States troops, even if they had to be used merely as con stabulary.
 What is believed universally is tha!

the employ of the company on May 1, 1881 as assistant to the then Manager L. H. Fuller, the office being located on Union street. After Ii years of faith ful service the company having built 3, combination office and dwelling on South Main street, Mrs. Medbury was appointed manager. At that time there were only 167 stations in the entire Putnam division, whereas at this time there are 1450. nearly all of this growth being due to the untiring ef- forts of Mrs. Medbury. At that time there was only one line to Thompson and only one line to Woodstock. At this time 30 lines are re quired to take care of the Thompson subscribers alone The development of the single line and special line service in the Putnam division has been very marked under Mrs. Medbury's management. in fact more so than in any other eX- change of its size in the state, nearly one-third of the lines in the division being of those classes. At retiring Mrs Medbury has reached the time when she Is to receive a pension and in surance benefit from the company as compliment for the years of service. Under the companys system these pensions are not operative as long IS one remains in the employ of the company, but at retirement is a daily benefit pension.

PUTNAM
Telephone Cut Over Oct. 10.

Telephone Cut Over Oct. lo-
 Oct. 10 has been fixed as the day when subscribers in the Putnam di- vision of the s. N. F. Telephone com pany are to be given the up-to-d date common battery service for which the company has been preparing for more than a year. and In connection with which improv ement new telephone building, equipped with the most mod ern devices used in telephone service, it's function with South Main.
 It was hoped to have the cutover on Saturday of this week, but the date has been advanced one week, to the following Saturday. when between the noon hour and l p. m. what is known in the telephone world as the cutoYer will be made an operation that in the space of 8 few seconds will allow of cutting" all the wires off from the switchboard ill the present telephone building on South Main street and cutting" them in on the new board in the new building.
 The change will be made in Putnam, as 1t has been done elsewhere throuehout the state. with barely a minutes interruption or the service and then Putnam will have as fine a telephone service as any city in New England. The old hand-ringing to call Central will be done away with, the mere removing of the receiver from the hook of the telephone bringing the cuick inquiry of Number" from Gen. tral.
 getting really for the big change that is to come on the 10th. but when 1t comes it will be found to have been worth waiting for.
