In some quarters there was q dispo-

Paul Fuller. personal representative
of President Wilson, is due in Mexico
City tomorrow to discuss with the SOW

and Villa.
1t Is generally understood that Amer

complete agreement between the two
ehieftains has been reached and ar
rangements made for constitutional

General Wotherspoon, chief of the
army staff, denied that General Funston
had asked for endorsements or
threatened show of greater force at
Vera Cruz.
General Carranza halted the running
of trains from Mexico City to Vera
Cruz but General Funston notified him
that no trains would be permitted to
leave Vera Cruz until the service from
Mexico City was restored. few hours
later the service was restored.

TROOPS TO STAY IN VERA CRUZ.
Wilson Plans to Insure Restoration of
Fair Government.

Washington, Sept. 2-The action OF
the Carranza government IN Mexico in
ordering Vera Cruz closed to shipping
from other Mexican ports was mini
mized today by Secretary of State Bry-
an and by General Wotherspoon, chief
of staff of the army. who is acting sec
rotary of war. They thought the ac-
ton was not likely to cause any mater
iai change in the present American
policy for the continued occupation of
Vera Cruz.
The purpose Of the Wilson admins
tration Is to keep the army of General
Funston in Vera cruz until after the
elections are held in Mexico and a per-
manent form of government restored
on the basis of fair elections. The or
der which was issued by the Carranza
government more than a week ago,
does not close Vera Cruz to the move
ment OF commerce with countries other
than Mexico. 1t was pointed out by
General Wotherspoon that shipping be-
tween Vera Cruz and the United States,
Cuba Jamaica and other points other
than Mexico continues.

GIANTS GET MARTY o'TooLE.
Secure Pitcher From Pittsburgh Club
in Cash Deal.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 2.-President Bar
ney Dreyfus of the Pittsburgh baseball
club announced that Pitcher Marty
O'Toole had been sold to the New York
Giants. Dreyfus refused to give de-
tails OF the transaction otehr than
that the deal was completed Monday
night, and that OToole would join the
team in New York today.
OToole was bought by Pittsburgh
from the St. Paul club of the American
Association in 1911 for $4,000. The
deal established record for cash pay
nent for a minor league player. The
New York club paid cash for O'Toole,
and while the terms of the deal were
not announced the figures do not ap-
proach the original price paid by Pitts
burgh.
O'Toole's record in the American AS
sociation in 1911 was fifteen games
won and eleven lost. His 1912 record
with Pittsburgh was fifteen games won
and seventeen lost. Last year he won
six and lost eight games. This season
he has won one game and lost nine.

I set treasury losses direct to curtaii-
ment of imports because of the Euro

and that an equitable distribution of
the tax burden among all consumers
would be accomplished by this plan.
Another suggestion is a stamp tax

and admission to thea:ers, baseball
parks and other licensed amusements.
1t is estimated that from $4,000, 900 to

The committee has not determined
upon complete taxation plan, but
purposes to hasten fits deliberations SO
that a bill may be introduced soon
after President Wilson addresses con-
gress on the subject, which probab,,.
will be Immediately upon his return
from New Hampshire. Administration
leaders are impressed with the neces-
sity of quick action in order to disturb
business conditions as little as possi-
bic.
Democrats of the senate will discuss
the emergency in a party caucus to be

A doubling of the present tax on
beer. it is estimated by treasury ex-
perts. would produce $65.00O,00O. Some
committee members, however, feel that
taxation of commodities other than
beer and patent medicines would cause
less popular friction.

PAROLES IN TWO YEARS.
One Hundred Ono Prisoners Released
From Fort Madison.


Fort Madison. Sept. Figures have
been compiled In the office of the
deputy warden, Charles Sullivan. for a
term OF two years covering the last
biennial period, which shows that lOl
men from the state penitentiary here
have been paroled during that time and
that the average time served by them
has been one-half of the maximum
sentence fixed by law. This interest
ing result was achieved by Bruce
Lake after several days of close work
over the books, and they show that the
time of service has increased as the
determinate sentence men have been
disposed of.
The table which was drawn up is
in elaborate detail. 1t specifies by
name and number each man paroled
during the period covered by it, Civ
ing the maximum term of sentence
imposed. the actual time he would
have served. the actual time he was
compelled to serve before being pa
rolled, and the straight term equiva-
lent for such actual time.
The average sentence for the 101
men paroled was ten years one month
and thirteen days, which is equal IN
solid time to be served with good
time" allowed. to six years. three
months and nineteen days. The aver
age actual time which the 10l men
were compelled to serve before being
paroled was three years and six days,
almost one half the maximum sentence
fixed by statute. and Very much in
excess of the average actual time
served for a period covered by the last
seven years under the determinate
sentence.
This table the results OF which are
derived by comparison, is by far the
most interesting compilation of figures
which has been made touching upon
the indeterminate sentence and parole
law
