TEN WITNESSES
FACE GRAND JURY
Others Will Be Called Upon to
Explain Income Tax

The grand jury has used all OF its
persuasive powers to induce citizens TO
correct erroneous tax returns. said
Foreman Charles :. Taylor last night.
and IL has given everyone ample OPP
portunitv TO do so. Now II vill resort TO
more strenuous methods and force dc

This statement was made by Cap
tain Taylor after the grand jury had
examined ten witnesses who had been
summoned to explain why their tax
returns to the Commissioner of Revenue
had not been larger. The witnesses
were: Dr.. II. ". Bassett. s. l.. Kelly.

been prepared. many tax-dodGers are
resting on the uneasy bench for fear
they may be called upon 10 explain why
their incomes reported were not larger.
or whether their automobile cost more
than they told the Commissioner when
they were assessed.
To Call More Witnesses.
After months Of work the grand jury
is nearing the end of its labors. The
witnesses who will be called upon to
testify will probably cause the daily
sessions 70 continue about month

mitted 10 Judge y. C. Richardson and
indictments made against those who
failed TO make accurate returns. OF none

SO far the jury has succeeded in
swelling the tot al tax returns in the
city between s. GOO 600 and Sc 600 600. and
IL IS expected that before 1t l. discharged
this sum viii be increased to nearly
$40 600 0o0
Captain Taylor said the jury is de
termined not % let anyone escape pay
ing legal taxes TO the State. With the
results so far achieved Captain Taylor
said he was greatly pleased. and thought
that tha work of the jury could not
have been more successful.

SENATE MAY AID
 PRES. HUERTA
Ambassador Wilson Tells Con- ditions in Mexico--Senators
 Favor Recognition.

Washington, D. C., July 31.-- The Senate Foreign Affairs com- mittee was in session this morn ing to confer with Ambassador HenryLane Wilson, who recently returned from Mexico, and who declares that the United States should immediately recognize the Huerta provisional govern ment in order that President Huerta might be able to main- tain order and protect American citizens and foreigners who are in the the country, besides fur nishing protection to the many millions of American money in- vested in the neighboring repub- lie.
 The committee is inclined to favor the recognition of Huerta in order to aid the establishment of staple government in Mex icO.
 President Wilson, however, is still adverse to in any way rec ognizing Huerta because of the murderous and traitorous attack he made on his former chief, Madero, whom he betrayed. to Gen. DiaZ and later murdered in cold blood, along with many oth- er supporters of the Madero gov ernment.
 Ambassador Wilson, however, asserts that the interests of the Americans now in Mexico and their very lives are at stake and can only be protected by Huer- ta, who is the strongest man in the country. --.
