GEN. VILLA AN AMERICAN,
SAYS U. S. TROOPER.
Served In Tenth Cavalry, Former Mem.
Der Of That Regiment Believes.

General Francisco Villa, leader of the
Constitutionalist army in Mexico, is
an American citizen. a native of Mary
land and former enlisted man in the
United States army. according to the
statements Of W. A. Haynes and Fred
Scott Of Burlington. VT. who served
in the same troop with him.
The men say Villa enlisted in the
Tenth cavalry under the name Of
Goldsby and was the sergeant of the
troop in which they served. This was
in 1882. when the regiment was en-
gagged in Indian fighting in the south
west
Haynes became convinced Of Villas
identity when he saw magazine pic
lures of the general. "When you have
soldiered with man In the same out
ft for years you learn to know him."
said Haynes.
Scott was strong in support Of
Haynes statement, and when down
near the border he went over to see
Villa three weeks ago. The latter made
no denial of the statement that he
was "Goldsby." On the contrary, he
seemed to enjoy talking over old times.
The Tenth is the colored cavalry
regiment. but VILLA could easily pass
for negro. He left the United States
army in Texas and soon rose to the
rank of major in the Mexican army.
He then followed the career of ban
dit and was notorious throughout Mex
leo. Villa. Scott says, was an excel
lent soldier when in the Tenth, but
at times trifle wild. His bravery was
unquestioned. In his talk with Scott
he said that his training in this coun-
try had been of great service to him.

INCOME TAX TABLE.
t@~xS-Aal

Reports to the effect that John ID.
Rockefeller would file his income tax
statement in New York and make that
state his only legal residence In the
future thereby adding some $GOO0,OOo
to the aum paid through the new law
in New York alone. has brought out
the fact that the New York income Tux
collectors will handle more than S30.-
UO0.OOO a year.
Close friends of Mr.. Rockefeller's
have learned that he will make his
home in the future ut his estate near
Tarrytown, N. Y. This has always
been his favorite residence. but he has
spent a pert Of each year at his Cleve-
land home for the sake of Mrs. Rookie
Teller: Recent actions of the Ohio tax
commission In seeking to establish his
legal residence there. however. have
displeased Mr.. Rockefeller and are
said to be responsible for his decision
to quit Ohio for good and pay his enor-
nous tax in New York. An estimate
places his income at about $1OO,OO00O0
q year. Of which the governments
share of 6 per cent would be $G,OOO,-
600. This is, without doubt. the lar
gest individual tax that will be col
iected
Information which the New York
Herald has received from a reliable
source is that Mr.. Rockefeller is fight
ing the valuation Of $500. 200, 600 placed
on his property by the Ohio commits
sioners on the ground that, while he
might at one time have had that much
property, most of 1t has been given
away. He has given large sums to
charities. education and the Rockefel-
Ter foundation.
Carnegie Down For 100000.
Next to Mr.. Rockefeller Andrew Car
negie will feel heaviest the weight Of
the income tax law, Estimates place
his fortune at $500, O,OO0. 600. yielding an
income of $15.OOOOOO a year. The tax
on this will be 100000. There is some
difference Of opinion whether William
Rockefeller may not have to pay even
more than this. as some estimates
place his income at $2O.OOOOOO n year,
in which case his tax would be $780,
600. This estimate, however. is re-
garded as rather high. and 100000 is
believed to be nearer to the assess
ment which will he imposed upon him.
George F. Baker comes next. with
an estimated fortune Of $1OO.OOOOO0
and an income Of $5.OOO.OOO. which will
cost him 100000: Wjlliam H. Clark
will probably be asked to pay about
$24O.OOO on a fortune Of $SOOOO,OOO.
The estate of ]. p. Morgan. estimated
at $75.OOO.OOO. will pay $45O.OOO.
Mrs. F.. Fl. Hartman will have to

BEES AS A DIVORCE CURE.

Observers Declare Honey Makers
Bring Happiness to Many Homes.
Here is tip to couples who have
tried matrimony and who are almost
on the point of believing it nonsuc-
cess. Do not seek divorce court, but
get swarm of bees and raise them in
your home. and you will have solved
the problem of matrimonial difi3cnlties.
This advice was given byamembsfs
of the National Bee Keepers ass0cia-
ton at the convention Of that body IN
st. Louis. Mo.
Some Of the bee keepers pointed out
that the bee Is an almost perfect type
Of the social unit and never quarrels
or fights and IS utterly unselfish in it's
labors.
The bee. they claim. coos. blzzes and
makes love all the time.
By observing the habits Of the or
dinary honey bee they claim any cou.
pie would abandon their petty quar-
rels and would live in peace and har-
mony. "a
''The honey bee ia a domestic insect
alsl never qaarrels.' = said Frank @. Pet
lett of Atlantic. Ia, state bee Inspector
Of Iowa. "The bee Is the most marvel

NEW YORK, April 2S.-From the opening to the close the stock market moved upward. Trading was quiet and the advance slow. but the showing of strength was none the less pronounced and by the end of the day the upturn ran from l to points. All classes of stock joined in the rise.
 Uncertainty regarding the Mexican situation was too great for operations on a large scale on either side of the market Nevertheless, increasing the hope that war would be averted caused distinctly better feeling and was probably the chief cause of the rice of stocks.

MAR|C0PA OUT IF STATE FAIR
 COMPETITIONS
Cups Offered for Agricul- tural Exhibits Will Go to Outside Divisions; This County to Have It's Own District Prizes

Maricopa county will not compete against the other divisions of Arizona at the coming state fair and resources exposition. The Board of Trade repre- sentatives in conference with Secretary C. E. Wood of the fair commission have decided to cut the county into board of trade subdivisions and let these small Ter divisions compete in market pro- duce exhibits for a county prize to be put up by the fair. Then the rest of the counties will work for the all state prize.
 Having the largest agricultural sec tion of any county. Maricopa always enters the field with a strong handicap in her favor. Then, too. being near the fair, it is easier for her to exhibit. This fact has long held back the repre- sentation from other great farm coun ties, and has in the opinions of some diminished the popularity of the fair. Those are reasons why Maricopa is withdrawing from the statewide compe- tition.
 But in order that there shall be a pretentious exhibit from Maricopa, the fair commission and the board of trade have agreed to work for county com petition. That is to say. the board of trade of Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa, Tenn pc and Chandler can each enter their several districts for the Maricopa county cup. and the district making the best show gets it.
 This arrangement will be communi- cated to the other counties as soon as possible, and if possible a concurring vote will be taken.
 Improvements
 The exhibit part of the next state fair will be much more pretentious than those of previous years. The buildings win be bettered. and the grounds pre- pared as they were never prepared be- for
 There is little chance that the tunnel, letting vehicles into the infield from the outside will be constructed this year. Estimates furnished by the of flee of the state engineer have shown that the cost of a passenger and au- tomobile tunnel beneath the mile and half mile tracks opposite the gate from the stables will cost at least three thousand dollars.

Hot dogs by electricity,
 Shades of departed canines. Odors of cracking grease. What has the
 country fair bun sandwich come to,
 now?
 Patrons of the next state fair will
 be surprised, perhaps pleased. cer-
 tainly interested in the manner in
 which their hot dogs are to be
 cooked By an order of the state
 fair commission, made public by
 Secretary Wood yesterday, the fu-
 ture hamburger is to be cooked by
 electricity Nevermore will the fes tive ballyhoo man blow his gas
 range with one corner of his mouth and attract with voice the gaping crowds to his emporium of indiges- tible sandwiches. From this date, hucksters will cook their hamburger steak, pop their corn, heat their chili and do all their culinary work by means of the juice that will be plentifully provided in power lines running under the grandstand. It was to prevent accidents, pro- ] mote cleanliness and generally to improve conditions beneath the sta dium that the commission issued it's orders.
 It is not provided in the bond that tie vendors of hot dogs must install l complicated shiny nickeled electric ranges. But no cooking by other means will be permitted. Any sort l of an old heating unit. housed as the huckster sees fit will do. No one l has come forward and stated that ! the ham sandwich cooked by any other heat would taste as delicious. l It may be that, losing the flavor of | the gasoline torch or the smoke of l the bad burner and the grease that i Iops and frizzles on the suspicious ] looking fry pan, the meat will fall l away in flavor. But that is a seri- ous problem to be met and coped | with by the merchant, and not by
 the fair commission. which annually pays by check many dollars in in
 surance on the costly grand stand ! and other nearby structures.
