EYES or WASHINGTON
TURNED ON MEXICAN CONGRESS

washington, Nov 20.--Eyes of Of
fetal washington were turned today
on the Mexican congress and Huertass
message on his recent assumption of
dictatorial powers. Possibility that the
new congress might act on conces-
stons discredited here in advance was
thought in many quarters to be a
pivot on which the next move by
this government might turn.
Those who have thought Huerta
would retire after his acts had been
ratified by congress, maintained con-
fidence in their theory. So far as can
be learned, the American government
means to continue its plan of finan-
ciaI blockade with diplomatic pressure
from without
The closing feature of Huerta's
message in which. after proposing the
sanction of congress, he added that if
this was withheld and authority en-
trusted to another, he and his minis
tiers were engaged in advance to ac-
cept such a result, was regarded with
some significance as indicating that
Huerta himself was at least recogniz-
ing the possibilities of his own elm
nation.
Some officials declared there was no
new move in view for the immediate
future It was also said that no in
structions of a final character had
gone forth to Charge O'Shaughnessy.
The departure of William Bayard
Hale from Nogales after parleying
with the constitutionalists, was also
said to be a factor in the delay. 1t
was regarded as possible that officials
here would await Mr.. Hale's return to
gain firsthand information for making
another move.
CORDIAL TO O'SHAUGHNESSY
The marked manner in which Pro-
visional President Huerta displayed
his cordia1ity toward Nelson Onslaught
messy, the American Charge d'affaires.
and the way in which he applauded
the playing of the 'tStar Spangled
Banner at yesterdays reception in
Chapaultepec castle was the subject of
much comment today. Although the
entire diplomatic corps was present,

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Tallahassee, Nov. 2O.-The conven-
ton of tax assessors, county commits
sioners and those specially interested
in the tax problem announced for to-
day is a great success so far as at
tendance and interest is concerned. If
the results obtained measure in any
degree comparable to the interest be-
ing manifested by the large number
present today some solution should be
found which would at least greatly inn
prove conditions in the system of tax
alton.
The state tax commission decided
about q month ago on the conventions
in order, to see what interest would
be- taken by the assessors and county
commissioners in cooperating with
them in. deyising some plan to better
eonditions, They are highly pleased
with the apparent interest. Not only
is the attendance fully up to their
expectations but the delegates are
from every section of the state.
From Escambia county on the west
which is represented by Tax Assessor
w. w. Richards, to Dade and Palm
Beach on the east represented by As
SCISSORS J. F.. Jaudon and J. NJ.
Owens. and from Polk and DeSoto
to the south the assessors are here.
Notably among those present are some
chairmen of the boards of county
commissioners who show that they
also are interested enough to come
to the convention and get ideas and
get in line for the Improvement Of
the tax assessing system.
JOHN NEEL PRESIDES.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman John Neel of the tax
commission and the roll of assessors
and commissioners called by the sec
retary of the commission. Hon. w.
V. Knott, state comptroller and all the
tax commission were also present.
The convention was greeted with a
very appropriate address of welcome
by Mayor Lowery and by Governor
Trammell. Short responses were made
by several delegates. Upon completing
enrolment it was found over a hun
dred delegates were present repre-
senting forty counties.
SOME GINGER ELECTED.
Assessor Boswell Of Citrus county
elected some ginger into the session
by reading a memorandum he had pre-
pared showing the assessment Of per-
sonal property as shown by the books
against a number of prominent Flo
ridians known to be wealthy. Among
the number he named were ex-Gov-
ernor Jennings, Walter F. Coachman,
ex-senator Taliaferro of Jacksonville.
and N. H. Hall of Ocala He pointed
out that the amount of personal prop
erty assessed against these gentlemen
was unreasonably low and out of pro-
portion. The convention lost some
time in general discussion which did
not lead anywhere, but finally got
down to business by adopting a reso-
luton for the appointment of COM
mittees to prepare reports of the sub
jects for discussion. This was done
and the convention adjourned until
tomorrow morning.
EARLY MORNING FIRE.
An early morning fire here burned
the livery stable of ". F. Banks, de-
stroying all equipment and barns and
seventeen head Of horses and mules.
The fire was discovered too late to
save even the livestock in the stalls.
The loss will be heavy.

A Crepe de Chine Petticoat

Dear Margery Doom.
have a very beautiful pale blue
crepe de chine petticoat trimmed
with lace and little pink chiffon
roses. It is soiled a little around
the bottom from wear with a long
evening dress. and would like TO
have it washed or cleaned. Do you
think it would wash well? Or
would 1t be better to send it to g.
cleaner. I am going to dance
very soon and hope you can an
swer this week. Thanking you in
advance, PALE BLUE.
= Crepe dc chine of good quality
washes beautifully. Use luke warm
water and white soap, and rinse in
water of the same temperature to
which a little bluing has been
added. It would be well to soak
the skirt in salt water for a while
before washing; this will set the
color. OF course you will remove
the chiffon roses. They may be
cleaned with gasoline and put back
on the petticoat.
