ROBBED Of $4,000.
Paymaster Held Up by Armed Rob-
bers in st. Louis.

st. Louis, March 6.-Two robbers
armed with revolvers, held up ]. p.
Lucas, paymaster of the Brown Shoe
company here this afternoon and rob-
bed him of $4,000. The robbery took
place in front of a factory and branch
office of the company. After getting
the money, the bandits leaped into
Lucas's automobile and escaped.
Pointing their revolvers at the head
of the chauffeur, they commanded
him to drive east and north. There
they left the automobile and took a
street car bound for the northern
limits of the city. Before boarding
the street car they told the chauffeur
to "beat it" and warned him not to
follow them.
Paymaster Lucas and another em-
ployee of the shoe company went to
bank this afternoon and drew the
money with which to pay the factory
employees. Later they went in an au-
tomobile to a side entrance of the fac
tory, stepped from the car and turn
ed to take two valises containing the

jumped into the automobile, from
which the money had not been taken,

PAID 70 PER CENT
December Tax Collections To.
tailed 81, 49,, ,697.15.
State Has Already Used 25
Per Cent of Total.

Kansas county treasurers collected 70
per cent. of the total 1913 tax levy last
December, according to reports compil-
ed today in the office Of w. E. Davis,
state auditor. The figures show COL
lections of 81. 467 ,697.15 on a levy for
$3.371, ,761.71. This fund will be suffi-
cient to meet the states expenses until
July. when warrants can then be drawn
on the June collections.
At the present time the state has
drawn Is per cent. Of the taxes for use
in 1914. It will require 10 per cent. a
month to meet the expenses Of the
state until July 1 and that amount will
practically exhaust the entire Decem-
ber collection. The amount Of new
taxes drawn by the state for the
months Of January and February was
$842, ,880.35. Drafts for 10 per cent. Of
the total tax each month will mean
that 65 per cent. of the total will have
will leave per cent. Of the December
collection still in the county treas
uries. But the distribution of taxes
will not be made until July 25 and 1t is
believed that drafts will be drawn on
the counties for a portion of the new
taxes in early July.
The collection of 70 per cent. Of the
total tax in December Is strong av-
erage showing of winter collections
But 80 per cent. Of the total yet remains
to be collected: and that amount must
protect the payment Of state bills from
July until the new taxes are available

Washington, March 6.-Predicttng
that the Mexican situation is a matter
with which the United States shall be
forced to deal in some decisive way.
and that very soon," Senator Works,
Republican, OF California, sharply crit

If we do it should not be for the

vantage to us but in the interest OF
the Mexican people and other residents
there, the restoration of peace and or

To speak Of the relations of the Unit

asserted was an unpleasant task
1T is a dark page In our history"
people shall have lost all virility. cour-
age and patriotism, it will be read in the
years to come, with sorrow and shame.
For three long years American citizens
have been murdered, their wives and
daughters outraged, their homes pill
laged. and their property destroyed.
and this administration has done moth
ing more than to enter occasional mild
protests and submissive appeals, and
to whom? To Huerta. whose govern
ment we had refused to recognize and
who, according to our view, had no
power nor authority to act; to Villa,
not recognized as a belligerent. not even
a soldier, but a brigand and murderer
Of innocent people. To CarranZa,
weakling dominated by Villa and
equally without authority. What had
we a right to expect from protests and
appeals made to such as these?'
Reviews the Past.
Senator Works outlined the events
in the history of Mexico, leading up
to the present difficulties and the re-
fusal Of this government to recognize
Huerta after the assassination Of Ma
dero. doubtless by Huerta who sue

connivance-s' After the withdravRal OF
Ambassador Wilson from Mexico SEN

The demand of The president in his
message to Huerta that there should be

for free election in Mexico was i'm

ignorance Of the Mexican masses. Such

have brought about the election of

Naturally Huerta refused to con-

His refusal put our government in
