HEART PRESERVED in ALCOHOL.
Discovered by Military Authorities in
Mexico City.

Mexico City.-The Constitutionalist
military authorities discovered hui
man heart. preserved in alcohol, in a
glass jar in private residence here.
Several arrests were made in connec-
ton with the discovery but the author
tiles refuse to divulge the names of
those taken into custody. Other ar
rests are expected shortly.
Mood-stained clothing which be-
longed to President Madero and Vice
President Pine Suarez. who were
killed in Mexico City in February of
1918. also had been found. together
with watch which belonged to the
president and pin. which was the
property of his brother, Gustavo Ma
dero. These pieces of jewelry will be
placed in the national museum.
Gen Joaquin Jimenez Castro, one of
the federal commanders, was arrested
but the charge against him was not
made public.

Wish to Elaht Barefoot.

Paris.-The Matin relates that on
the arrival OF train bringing wound
ed Senegalese rifiemen nearly all were
found smoking furiously from long
porcelain pipes taken from the enemy
and seemingly Indifferent to their
wounds. The Senegalese complain of
nothing except the obligation to fight
with shoes on. Before going into bat
tie at Charleroi they slyly rid them
selves of these impedlments, but came
back shod in German footwear to avoid
punishment for losing equipment.

TIRES AT
ANTE-eELLuM PRICES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
announce mo war prices on Goodyear
Tires" Mr.. F. A. Sieberling. president
OF the Company. thus explains their
unique position.
I'VE advanced Goodyear prices, as
others did theirs. when the rubber
panic came. Almost In day crude
rubber rose in New York from 55 cents
per pound to much over a dollar.
The New York supply was too
small to consider. We cabled our
London people to buy up the pick of
the rubber there. By acting quickly
and paying cash they obtained 1.5OO.-
900 pounds of the finest rubber.
That big supply OF rubber is now
nearly all on the way to the Goodyear
factory in Akron. It constitutes the
best of the London supply. *
I'VE are using the same grade of
rubber and the same amount of 1t as
we always have used in these tires.
I'VE are running our factory with
three shifts of men. twenty-four hours
q day. So long as we remain in ~
fortunate position on rubber. we shall
supply tire users at before-war prices
to the limit OF our capacity"

Lesser Crimes at Trinidad.

Trinidad, Colo.-Twenty-nine addi
tional arrests were made of miners on
warrants resulting from the indict-
ments issued by the Las Animas coun-
ty grand jury. making a total of fifty
one in the county jail, forty-eight of
whom were arrested in the three days.
Those arrested Thursday were from
the Aguilar district and the charges
range from murder down to arson,
robbery and various misdemeanors.
Several, it is alleged, were implicated
in the burning of the Southwestern
mine tipplle and other buildings in that
camp.
1t was stated by the county officers
that there were still a number OF
warrants to be served. The county
jail is being taxed to its capacity.
Early Friday none of those whose bail
had been set by the court had been
able to provide the required amount.

Withdrawals May Be Needed.

I need not point out to you what

the treasury should make 1t necessary
rapidly to withdraw these deposits.
The Elbert County tribune., 1914-09-11


that plainly might become necessary
sary could not be controlled or deter
mined by the convenience of the coun-
try.
It would have to be determined by
the ops rations and necessities of the
treasury itself. Such risks are not
neces7ssy and ought not to be run.
We cannot too scrupulously or careful
ly safeguard a financial situation
which is, at best, while war continues
in Europe, difficult and abnormal.
Hesitation and delay are the worst
forms of bad policy under such condi-
tIons.
Ought Not to Borrow.
And we ought not to borrow. We
ought to resort to taxation. although
We may regret the necessity of put
ting additional temporary burdens on
our people. To sell bonds would be
to make most untimely and unjustifi-
able demand on the money market;
untimely because this is manifestly
not the time to withdraw working
capital from other uses to pay the
governments bills; unjustifiable. be-
cause unnecessary.
The country is able to pay any just
and reasonable taxes without distress.
And to every other form of borrowing.
whether for long periods CT for short,
there is the same objection.
Money Market Is Bad.
These are not the circumstances,
this is at this particular moment and
in this particular exigency not the
market to borrow large sums OF
money. What we are seeking is to
ease and assist every financial trans
action, not to add single additional
embarrassment to the situation.
The people of this country are both
intelligent and profoundly patriotic.
They are ready to meet the present
conditions in the right way and to
support the government with gener-
GUS self-denial. They know and under
stand. and will be intolerant only of
those who dodge responsibility or are
not frank with them.
Must Accept Inevitable.
The occasion is not OF our own max
ing. We had no part in making it.
But it is here. 1t affects us as direct
ly and palpably almost as If we were
participants in the circumstances
which gave rise to it.
We must accept the inevitable with
calm judgment and unruffled spirits,
like men accustomed to deal with the
unaynactad habftuatod 70 tol.a car, IF
themselves, masters of their own af-
fairs and their own fortunes. We shall
pay the bill, though We did not delib-
erately incur 1t.
Add stoo. 100000 Revenue.
In order to meet every demand upon
the treasury without delay or perad-
venture. and in order to keep the
treasury strong, unquestionably strong,
and strong throughout the present
anxieties. l respectfully urge that ad-
ditional revenue of $10O,000.000 be
raised through internal taxes devised
in your wisdom to meet the emer-
gency. The only suggestion l take the
liberty of making is that such sources
of revenue be chosen as will begin to
yield at once and yield with certain
and constant flow.
cannot close without expressing
the confidence with which I approach
a Congress. with regard to this or any
other matter, which has shown so un-
firing a devotion to public duty, which
has responded to the needs of the ma
ton throughout long session, des-
pite inevitable fatigue and personal
sacrifice and so large proportion of
whole time and energy to the business
