Further, it was said that MeXicans
were being sent to Lobos Island to take

proval here, as there is no desire that
the United States should be further
troubled about running the light.
Another point Of dispute between the
United States and Mexico was adjusted
to-day. The five Latin Americans ar
rested on a Mexican boat in Vera cruz
Harbor for shipping who claimed other
citizenship than Mexican are probably
Mexicans. Rear Admiral Badger re-
ported to-day that the man who said he
was a Gillian was undoubtedly Mex
lean. and that the rest probably were.
Most OF the snipers arrested at vera
Cruz have been discharged. When Adj
miral Badgers report came Secretary
Garrison took the matter up with the
President and Secretary Daniels. and
General Funston was instructed to re-
lease the five alleged Latin Americans.
In reaching this decision the admin
istration is actuated largely by desire
TO avoid injuring the feelings of any
Latin American country. Army and
navy officers. however feel that the
snipers should be severely punished.

WARNS HOUSE OF
MEXICAN CLAIMS
Republican Representative Pre-
diets Enormous Demands as Re-
suit of Administration Policy.
lErnln The Tribune Bureau.


Washington, May 15.-In speech IN
the House to-day Representative JULIUS
Kahn. California Republican, ex-
pressed the belief that the administra-
TONS Mexican policy would cost the
government millions Of dollars through
claims filed by Americans who nave
been compelled to fee Mexico and
abandon their property interests.
II have read within the last week
said Mr. Kahn. that hundreds OK
claims against this government are be-
ing filed by citizens Of the United
States who have left their property IN
Mexico by reason OF the action OF this
government. More recently | have
read that citizens OF Spain who lost
their property at Torreon because OF
the ravages Of the so-called Const!tu-
tionalists have also filed claims for
damages with the State Department
amounting to $20O00,00O and will look
to this government for reparation. The
time will come when we shall be called
upon to appropriate money to pay these
claims"
Mr.. Kahn said he predicted last Feb
ruary that the administration policy
would produce such demands.

stamps. as that is the only way lnrousn
which the federal government can get nj
land In the various states for taxation
purposes. all direct taxes being under the
jurisdiction OF the state governments.
The spirit Of the bill is to suppress or

taxation for small land owners, while
checking the tendency Of large landown-
ers to hold immense estates together in a
comparatively unproductive condition.
