DANIEL s. SE|Tz
TALKS TO ROTAR|ANS
City Solicitor Recommends Repeal
Of Mercantile License Tax
Law; Other Changes

City Solicitor Daniel S. Seitz deliv-
cred an interesting address on various
phases of taxation of especial interest
to third class cities, before the Harris
burg Rotary Club at a dinner at Men
gers restaurant last evening.
Mr.. Seitz made a plea for the tax
alton of the real estate of public SER
vice corporations for local purposes,
illustrating with the fact that in Har-
risburg there is between five and six
million dollars worth of such property
which pays absolutely nothing toward
the local government. He also urged
upon the members of the club to join
with those who are asking for the re-
peal of the mercantile license law,
contending that the State has plenty
of tax resources without placing tax
on local merchants from which they
receive no direct return. Mr.. Seitz
was of the opinion also, that the auto
mobile license law ought to be so
modified as to require the return of
at least half of the license fee to the
municipality or township in which the
owner of the car taxed resided.
John G. Felty, c.. M. Sigler and
Abraham M. Myers were elected to
club membership and candidates were
named for the offices to be filled at the
annual meeting of the club to be held
at Hershey.

There Are Dogs and Dogs,
and That's Why Clever
"Ad" Writers in Jail

Some months ago George Messer-
smith, York, advertised in the public
prints to the effect that if you wanted
to buy dog, a regular dog, you
could not do better than to get into
touch with him.
That little "ad" and it's conse-
quences got him into the clutches of
Uncle Sans postal sleuths and even
tually before Federal Judge Wilmer
this morning. Here is the story.
Messersmith according to the pos
tai sleuths had advertised and used
Uncle Sans mails extensively to
boost his brand of dogs Many folks
wanted good dogs and sent the money.
Always n dog was sent back to the
purchaser.
But there are dogs-and dogs.
When the officers Investigated they
found that Messersmith went out in
the street or the lot and hunted up
some kind of dog desired, washed
.it-and expressed it to the owner.

Funston Ready to Meet
Federals If They Make
Charge on Water Works
By Associated Press

Vera Cruz May 6.--The remote pos
sibility of an attack on the American
outposts here by the combined federal
forces under General Rubio Navar-
rete and General Gustavo Mas which
are reported to be mobilizing near ia
mapa and Soledad with some field
pieces is the only element in the stu
alton which might, in the opinion of
army officers, interrupt the period of
military inactivity during the pro-
gress of the mediation conferences.
1t is pointed out that an artillery
attack directed from Jamapa to de-
stroy the water works at Eel Tejar is
the most favorable plan open to the
MeXicans and Brigadier General Funs-
ton is preparing to repel any such at
tempt.
In addition to the field guns landed
from the. war vessels, "a powerful

placed In position for defense.

ton of the San Francisco bridge and
also of one smaller one nearer Vera
Cruz. The abutments were dynamted
and the structure let into the water
One of the bridges was destroyed by
Mexican irregulars.

bridge is still unframed, but is mined
Every precaution Is being taken by the
military authorities here.
In the meanwhile the people GO
quietly about their daily business and
there is little evidence of recent stir
ring scenes except shell-scarred walls
and crumbling structures which were
subjected to the gunnery of the blue
Jackets.
The conduct of the soldiers in the
city has been exemplary, their officers
lmpressing on them the desirability
of displaying courtesy toward the ma
tives.
Brigadier General Funston is TAX

to the saloons in the city which here
tofore have received nearly the whole

GENERAL FUNSTON IS
GIVEN AUTHORITY
Continued From First Pagel

| =
Washington, d. c., May g. Re-
newed efforts of the South American
ENJOYS to bring Carranza, Constitu.
tionalist chief, into preliminary media
ton negotiations came as swift turn
of events that excited sharp interest
in the Mexican crisis to-day. While
! 1t had appeared Carranza had been
eliminated, temporarily, from media
ton prelimina,'ies because of his re-
| fusal to declare q truce. yet it devel-
oped to-day that the ENJOYS were seek
ing to induce him to send an agent to
conferences between Huertistas and
representatives of the United States
to be begun in Niagara Falls, Canada,
on May IS.
No formal mediation of the broad
Mexican problem could be attempted
until an armistice was arranged be-
tween contending factions in the
southern republic, but the mediators'
present aim was said to be to meet a
Carranza agent for direct discussion
OF the situation. 1t was understood
they had further explained to Car
rama their position previously outlined
ana still We're hopeful he would send
representative not restricted to dis
cusslon of any particular feature.
The language of the announcement
that Niagara Falls, Canada, had been
chosen for the scene of exchanges was
interpreted by some observers as indi-
eating that the ENJOYS had not aban-
doned hope of attempting to compose
the entire Mexican problem, despite
Carranza's assertion that any attempt
TO take up the republics internal
troubles was beyond the range of dip
lomatic activity The phrase that at
tracted attention was that the en-
voys would confer with missions of the
different parties interested in media
ton. Specific parties were not nam
ed, and later 1t was authoritatively
learned that further communication
had been taken up with Carranza.
Confident of an early reply from the
rebel chief, the mediators to-day be-
gan routine arrangements for the Ma
CARA Falls conference. Under present
conditions their initial activities still
would be confined to the exercise OF
good offices" In the dispute between
Huerta and the United States Wheth-
er those preliminaries would develop
into formal mediation could not be
foreseen.
While interest in diplomatic deveI-
opments overshadowed all other fea-
tu-es of the international situation,
changes in Mexico were not over
looked. Huerta's position excited
speculation. Observers who reached
Vera Cruz from the federal capital
declared Huerta had done little to
indicate he expected an American ad-
vance or intended to offer serious re-
sistance If that happened. However,
numerous reports stated the federals
were mining railway tracks between
the capital and the east coast. Huer-
Ia was said to recognize the menace
of Villas army in the north and the
chance Of Zapatista attack from the
south.
