REBEL CHIEFS DEFIANCE
GETTING ON U. s. NERVES"
BUT CAN'T DROP HIM NOW

The Administrations patience with
Carranza was stretched almost to the
breaking point yesterday when the
President and Secretary Bryan read the
belligerent statement authorized by the
first chief. as published in the morning
newspapers. The PreNdent and Secre-
tary Bryan had hoped by diplomacy to
smooth the feelings of the mediators
against Carranza and to finally bring
about his admission to the Niagara Falls
conference on the basis which he had
suggested.
Carranza's blunt statement, it is
feared. has spoiled their plan Presi-
dent Wilson particularly is said to have
shown considerable feeling over the de-
velopment.
Notwithstanding Carranza's disposition
to adopt an Independent attitude toward
both the mediators and the United
States. the Washington administration
will be obliged to stand behind him.
They have pulled him into the present
predicament and will be unable to cut
loose from him because they are con-
vinced that no permanent settlement of
Mexico's difficulties can be reached
without the participation Of the consti-
tutionalists.
The news Of the statement by Huerta's
delegates that he is willing to withdraw
under certain conditions was received
here with intense interest last night. 1t
was Immediately interpreted as a move
by Huerta's representatives to strength
en- his hand before the world and to put
the constitutionalists publicly In the posi-
ton Of assuming full responsibility for
the restoration Of peace In the southern
republic.
Diplomats In Washington are certain
that II the mediation program blows up,
the A. B. c. mediators, as well as the
Mexican delegates. will see to It that the
major share of the blame is laid upon
this government because Of its refusal to
part company from the constitution

prove the wool crop of the country. yes
terday was made by Assistant Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Galloway before
sixty delegates representing all branches
OF the wool industry at the opening ses-
sion of the wool conference here.
THE value of the wool crop In the
United States is $50 900 a year" de-
clared DIR. Galloway. "and this value can
be increased 10 per cent by improvement
In the methods Of handling and market
ing. Exports adjudse that the possible
estimated increase in the number Of sheep
in this country Is 15o per cent and that
this increase could be effected largely
through enactment of State laws which
would prevent the killing Of sheep by
predatory animals, improvement of range
and utilization of crops for feed instead
of direct sale. 1t is estimated that more
than 1.0oo. 900 sheep were killed In this
country last year by predatory animals.

Have Been Forwarded.

What is regarded as a remarkable
situation exists at the Treasury De-
apartment with regard to the income
tax The taxes on incomes on which
returns were made last March are due to
be paid in the present month, but de-
spite the approach Of the time when all
of these taxes are required. to be col
lected, Department officials profess to be
unable to make even an estimate as to
the gross revenues to be derived from
the new tax. ..
1t generally was assumed that a fairly
accurate estimate would be practicable
upon the returns made In March as the
basis for the collection of the tax on
incomes for the last ten months of 1913.
Ofiicials declare, however, that the full
returns never have been forwarded to
the Treasury Department by the col
lectors of internal revenue.
