business world which seems to be

royal road to success and that she
must give full value for, every dollar
received is liable to gain the greatest
victory.

HIS HAND is SHOWN.
Mexico, Japan. Canal Tolls and
Treaties Discussed at Last Nights
White House Conference.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 27.-m
three-hour conference at the White
House last night between President
Wilson and the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, the present status
of American foreign affairs was made
known. The subjects on which the
President threw light were the Mex
lean situation, the japanese contrO-
versy over the California alien land
laws, the Panama Canal tolls dispute
with Great Britain, the negotiations
with Colombia for settlement OF
the Panama-Colombia dispute, the
Haitian revolution and the general
arbitration treaties.
The President informed the men,
bers of the Senate Committee on the
status Of these subjects in the same
manner he would were he to send or
deliver special message to Con-
gress.
In the words of the President,
given after the, conference, it was
the first time since soon after Nr.
Wilson became President that he
has had an opportunity to talk to the
whole committee which must work
with the President on almost all
foreign matters. He availed him
self of the opportunity to tell the
Senator's all he knew Of the subjects
Iand obtained their views of the SUBJ
jects discussed, Mexico, Japan, the
Panama Canal tolls dispute and the
arbitration treaties occupied the
<most time.
The President informed the COM
mitteemen he believed it the duty of
the nation to renew the arbitration
treaties. He told them this was par
ticularly so with reference to the
treaties with Great Britain and ia
pan. He said the United States had
taken a position in the foremost
ranks in favor of arbitrating dis
putes, and it would be step back
ward and stultifying if the United
States did not maintain that record.

DICTATOR'S PLIG H T.
His Power Gradually Crumbling-
Resignation of General Rabago Sc
rious Loss TO Federal Army.

Mexico City, Jan. 27.-Many mem
bers of the Mexico City police de.
ment were dismissed today or orders
of General Huerta, following the dis
covery of an alleged plot to assassi-
nate Huerta next Sunday, and the
arrest of the accused leaders.
Col. Vito Robles, chief of police
under President Madero, and Colonel
Zavalar, alleged heads of the conspir-
acy. were arrested today and immed-
iaetly sent under guard to the grim
prison of San Juan de Ulloa, at Vera
Cruz, fortress from which con-
'denned conspirators rarely come
forth alive.
Orders were out today for the al
rest of Gen. Eugenio Rascon, vice
presidential candidate of the Catholic
party at the last election, and Gen.
Fernando Gonzales, formerly COM
mander Of the Rio Grande division of
the federal army, who were said to
be in the plot with Robles. They are
believed to be in hiding within the
capital, and their arrest is hourly
expected.
Huerta's officers said that the con-
spirators. like Felix Diaz and Huerta,
planned to execute their coup Sun
day. instead of splitting the army,
however, as was done wile,l- aIacero
was overthrown, the plotters planned
to turn over 1000 armed policemen
to Bascon and Gonzales. The po-
liccmen were to attack the national
palace and capture Huerta.
The plot, it is said, was revealed
by secret service man, who is a
brother .in-law Of one of the police
men in the conspiracy.
The Mexico City police force is be-
lieved to believed to be strongly anti
Huerta. and the discovery of the al
legged plot, it is believed, will result
in a reorganization of the depart
ment.
Huerta today was chagrined by
another military loss, the resigna-
ton of General Antonio Rabago, one
of his foremost generals. Rabago,
pleading age and i'll health, retired,
despite the urgent protests of Huer-
ia. Coming on the heels of the death
Of General Joaquin Mas, Rabogo's
resignation is as serious loss to the
federal army.
War Office reports today said the
Zapatistas simultaneously attacked
eight towns in the States of Morales
and Guerrero, and were repulsed in
every instance.

HOUSE ACTS ON
TAX On DEPOSITS
Delegates Reject Amend
ments by Vote Of Forty
six to Thirty.
20 CTS. AGREED UPON.
Long Discussed Matter Reached FINAL
Vote in the House of Delegates
This Afternoon.

Richmond, Jan. 27.-By vote OF
56 to 80, the House OF Delegates yes
i,terday rejected amendments to the
Weaver money tax bill, which would
have inserted the rate Of 20 cents on
S100 and the provision for collecting
at the source, as advocated by Gov
ernor-Elect Henry c. Stuart. After
disposing Of a number OF other
amendments. the bill, carrying q 20
cent rate, by vote of So to Is, was
ordered to its third reading and en-
grossment. 1t will come up today on
It's final passage.
AS the bill now stands it provides
for the segregation of taxes on
money, whether infbank or elsewhere,
to the State alone, forbidding taxa
t'oa of this form of property by the
counties, cities or school districts,
md for the assessment and collec-
ton through individual returns to
the commissioners Of the revenue as
heretofore. The bill specifically ap-
rl;es to any money On deposit with
any bank or other corporation, firm
or person, Or in the possession or
under tile control of the owner,
whz thel' such money be actually in
or out 81 the State. Nc citizen of Vir-
cisic therefore, can either legally or
gain airy exemption by the
merc subterfuge of Withdrawing his
money from bank over the taxation
pegicd, nor will he be able to escape
a grand jury investigation into his
tax returns by depositing his money
ia bank in some other State.
The act as now pending on its final
passage carries the emergency clause
taking effect at once, and requires a
four-ffths vote for its passage. The
votes on various amendments yester-
day showed clear majority against
the feature Of collecting at the source
that is. of having the banks as
sesscd fol the total amount on de.
post. the banks to charge this as
sessmcnt at 30 cents per 500 to each
individual depositor. No vote. how
ever, Indicated a majority o. four
Gfths.
Should enough members stand
against the bill to cause its defeat
because Of the omission of more
certain method Of collecting the tax,
the fight for relief is not entirely
lost, as the Echols bill passed by the
Senate fixing the rate at 10 cents,
IS on the calendar. Technically, the
Senate bill comes up first, but will
probably be passed by to allow a final
vote on the House bill now pending.
