Several members OF the Atlanta
Real Estate Board gathered az noon
Monday in the Chamber Of Com
merce rooms to discuss the Federal
income tax measure now up to the
United States Senate, and adopted a
resolution offered by John Gilmore. OF
the Edwin P. Ansley Agency, asking
Senators A. o. Bacon and Hoke Smith
and Representative William Schley
Howard TO exert t,eir influence to
make changes in the bill. The most
objectionab Bile feature to those present
was that requiring tenants TO with
hold from landlords a part of rents
for taxes. Charles p. Glover, who
presided, declared that this would
hurt the renting business.
Those who attended were Mr.. Glow
er, Mr.. Gilmore, Joseph d. Greene,
]. w. Dobbins, H. F. Martin and H.
W. Dews. Some features of the pro-
posed trip this summer to Winnipeg
to the annual convention OF the Ma
tionaI Association Of Real Estate Ex-
changes we're discussed. MI Glover
asserted that members Of the local
board could go 10 Winnipeg and back
for $40, and that the trip could be
made in eight days.

If such a step were forced upon Pres
ident Taft while Congress was not in
session, the President plans to follow

forth conditions showing what he had
done and asking authority to send
United States treeps across the border
The President was perturbed when he
heard reports that communication be-
tween Mexico City and the United States
might be cut off. He pointed out to
friends that such a condition would re-
semble that in China when the foreign
|ers, penned up in Peking, could not
communicate with the outside world
President Taft met the cabinet at the
usual semi-week1y session and the Max
lean situation was generally discussed
1T was understood that the cabinet Is in
complete accord with the Presidents at
titude as Ii was expressed in his con-
versations with close friends. Secretary
Knox upon entering the conference de-
clared there was nothing specific to be
considered and that he had received no
important dispatches since last night.
The President referred his callers to
IA letter which he wrote nearly two
years ago to Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
chief of staff of the army, from Angus
ta, Ga, explaining his reasons for the
Iorder concentrating troops then on the
Texas border. In the letter the Pres
ident says:
MY determined purpose is to be in
position so that when danger to. .Ameri-

rendered helpless by the insurrection,

SOCIETY TO FINANCE
POLAR EXPEDITION

washington. February 14.-The Ma
tional Geographic society and the
American Museum Of New York have
Jointly subscribed and offered $4,000 to
viIhjalmar Stefansson, the arctic ex-
plorer, TO defray the expenses of an
other exploring expedition to the north
polar regions, according to an an
nouncement made tonight by the Ma
tional Geographic society here. The
Canadian government also has made a
tentative offer of $4,000 to Stefans-
son IL he will make the expedition
under the British flag.
Gilbert III. Grosvenor of the National
Geographic society declared tonight
that as that organization was anxious
to have the explorations continued in
the icy regions it was perfectly will
ing to withdraw in favor of the more
generous Canadian offer, provided the
Canadian government starts the ex-
plorer out this year. Mr.. Grosvenor
said that Stefansson now is in Ottawa
going over the matter with Canadian
government officials.

patrol in Mexican waters until conditions
have settled considerably.
Francisco De La Barra, who was Mexi-
can ambassador here in the closing days
of the old Diaz regime, was known 10
have been opposed to Intervention by the
United States. lie expressed the opinion
while here that Mexico, If ever given
fair opportunity to solve its problems
without outside powers taking part would
at all times choose the right man for
president.
AS provisional president pending the
election which placed Madero at the head
of the government De La Barra refused
to be candidate, but offered to be of any
other assistance he could be in helping
his country to regain peace. The situa-
ton, it was said, seems to be working
out in accordance with the plans which
De La Barra had in mind for the perIna-
nent pacification of Mexico.
The hard problem for the new govern
ment in Mexico to deal with, it was de-
clared, would be the finding of terms
which would be satisfactory, alike to the
northern and southern reyolutionists. 1t
probably will be necessary for De La
Barra, it was pointed out, promptly to
call special session of Congress to pro-
vide funds to replete the government
treasury cash which Is beginning to run
low.
AS to De La Barra the opinion was ex-
pressed that he doubtless would persist,
as he did formerly when serving for
time as provisional president, in refusing
to permit his name to be considered for
the nomination for permanent head of
the government. On account of his abil-
ity as diplomatist, his broad knowl-
edge of foreign affairs and intense love
of his country, Senor De La Barra as
ambassador here became one OF the best
liked members of the dirlco'ate corps.

MORE ECONOMY IN

has ever known? As for me, am willing
to join any of my colleagues in con-
eerted crusade to defeat this legisla-
ton that violates our platform pledges
and our faith with the people, and If
no concerted effort is made henceforth
until March 4 shall endeavor so far
as | am able to oppose this reckless ex-
travagance.'
A round of applause greeted Mr. Rod
denberrys speech. Later Representative
TribbIe of Georgia made a speech at
tacking the naval bill. declaring that it
was at least one-third too high.
Opponents ofthe naval bill We're loud in
their declarations today that they would
not allow the measure to pass unless it
was materially reduced, and the two
battleship'' members of the naval COM
mittee decided that in the present tenn
per of the House it would be unwise to
subject the bill to the probability of a
filibuster on the floor. They withheld a
report on the bill, hoping to reach some
sort Of an agreement.
To add TO the troubled situation the
public buildings appropriation bill, carry
ing about s25oo0,000, will be brought in
tomorrow.
The congestion of appropriation bills in
the House has put democratic leaders to
urging a sweeping reform in the appro-
priation system and seeking way of
extricating the House from it's present
position without making record for ex-
penditures.
With half dozen OF the main appro-
priation measures piled up for action,
and the aggregate of appropriations
threatening to run far over the billion
dollar mark, the leaders find two plans
available.
Either the appropriation bills as framed
with their vastly increased totals must
be rushed through in the few remaining
days of the session or the House must
go on Record as being unable TO COM
plete its work and Allow the appropriation
bills to go over until the special session
Neither course is taken as fully agree

THEATRE INTERESTS
PLAN COOPERATION

New York, February 14.-A tentative
plan for cooperation between the Klaw

ests to the extent of arranging book
ings SO as to avoid conflicts of attrac-
tions of similar nature in some of the
larger cities. was announced tonight by
Klaw & Erlanger. The plan, 1t is said.
neither provides nor anticipates any
amalgamation of interests and is to be
put into effect only in Boston, Chicago,
Philadelphia and St. Louis, where, says
their statement, too many theatres are
catering to the same kind of attractions
and to the same theatregoers. to the det-
rment of the producing managers

statement, but had nothing to add to it.

CASTRO GUEST OF
HONOR AT BANQUET

New York. February 14.--Cipriano
Castro, former President of Venezuela
was a guest of honor and speaker at
banquet of essussex County society
tonight. The society is composed of
persons who formerly lived in Sussex
county, New Jersey.
President-elect Wilson attended the
banquet of the society last year and
General Castro in his speech said he
was honored to be sitting at the same
board at which the President-elect had
sat.
The general said it was unfortunate
that he was regarded by some persons
as an enemy of the United States, as he
always had been its friend. He wished
the country and its people prosperity,
he said.

leaders are demanding that before the
next House settles down to make Its
appropriation a system be evolved to
provide for the division of available puo-
lie funds to the various purposes TO-
which money must be expended. Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald chairman OF the ap-
preparation committee; Representative
Sherley of Kentucky, former speaker
Cannon and Minority Leader Mann are
among those who insist that reform Is
necessary. Representative Sherley IS the
author OF a resolution TO place all the
money to be appropriated by congress
h1nder the control of a special budget COM
mittee, which would apportion the FUNDS
TO the various appropriating committees.
Fhe economy advocates on the democratic
side of the House were active IN thelr
criticism of the general plan OF appro-
priations, but they made the slf6,ooV'oV
naval appropriation bill their special op-
jective of attack. Opponents OF large
navy, following a series of conferences
were prepared to attack the two battle
ship provision Of the bill, and there were
many threats of filibustering to prevent
the passage of the bill at this session.
