MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28.-A sensa
ton was caused this afternoon when
a police guard was placed around the
American Club. The order to guard
the club had come from high Govern
ment officials. Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
said he was convinced the ordering of
the guard was mistake, and on his
advice the president of the club re-
quested the police to withdraw, which
they did.
There has been no indication of
anti American feeling, but members
of the club think the Government
may have received secret information.
NOGALES, MEXICO, Feb. 2S.-
General Carranza sent two messages

ieCt and not an American.
on the other hand, Carranza prom

Pay S8,33O,OOO.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S-Amazing
figures testifying to the stupendous
wealth of New York millionaires are
contained in the income tax reports
that are made to the Collectors of
Internal Revenue in this city.
Notwithstanding the strict iniunc-
tion to secrecy imposed by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, it has
been learned that % residents of New
York City win pay approximately $S,-
$4,000 in taxes. This is about per
cent of the total of s115,O00,000 which
the Government expected would be
raised by the personal income tax.
New York paid about one-twelfth
of the corporation tax of the Coun-
try last year. the contribution of the
city being about $S,000.0 900. This year
il will be much larger than that, as
the provision for eXempting S., 900 has
been withdrawn.
Income tax returns from various
cities throughout the country show
that with the $4,000 filed in the New
York district to date there has been a
total of approximately 10000 per-
sonal income tax returns filed in the
cities named.

ARMY OFFICER
Charges Against Major Benjamin
NJ, KoehIer Said to Have Been
Filed as Spite Work.

NEW LONDON, CONN, Feb. IS
The court martial of Major BENJAMIN
koehler at Fort Terry will not be
open to the public. it was decided to-
day, despite the advice OF Secretar,y
or war Garrison that such would NJ
tlmately he best for the army The
board Of officers comprising the
court appealed to Mr.. Garrison Fri
day to reconsider his fiat order for
publicity. He changed his order TO
a suggestion
with the exception Of one member,
the officers on this court martial are
convinced that the public has no right
to know what has prompted the trial
Of Major Koehler
Behind the secrecy regarding the
trial of the accused major one thing
mas come to light. This is the at
tempt by high ranking officers 10
center all the accusations upon Koch
Ter
Prefers to Fight Charges.
koehler is fighter. however He
refused To resign when shown the
specifications upon which it was
planned to try him, preferring to
meet his aCcusers in court.
The reason for malice against
koehler is said to have started last
summer during the army maneuvers
near Mystic. Conn Major Koehlcr
made the officers work and they OBJ
jeCted.
Later because of row in the Off
GERS Club at Fort Terry, the major
closed the place. As commander, he
refused permission for liquor to he
received at the island He also eau
toned certain of the officers regard
ing their moral conduct Then they
set out to get him -
Major Koehler they found, was
hard to get He had worked hard
at the fort to bring a spirit of de-
cency into the place. Through his
efforts a school was established and
clergymen prevailed upon to visit
Plum Island, where the fort is To-
Gated.
Example of Charges.
One man who knows Major Koehler
tells this as an example of the
charges:
Major koehler, who made personal
Inspections among the company quar-
ters frequently would discover that a
young recruit was melancholy. He
would take fatherly interest In the
youth, encouraging him by cheering
words and by advice His interest in
these new soldiers is misinterpreted
purpOsely by his aCcuscrs.'

Senators Plan TO Force
Bryan to Act In Mexico

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Wearied
of the Administrations policy of
"watchful waiting" partisan
groups of Senators are preparing to
revolt. With the firing of the first
gun next week sensational develop
ments are expected.
The Senators interested declare
their belief that Secretary Bryan can
be forced into the enactment of
definite Mexican policy. The imme-
diate cause of the protests is the Ad-
ministrations demand that no fur
ther news of outrages upon Americans
in Mexico be made public.
Senator Fall, of New Mexico, will
open the program. Next week he will
address the Senate on the Mexican
situation, quoting from messages in

John Bassett Moore and British Am
bassador Sir Cecil Spring Rice, il
was announced by the Ambassador
that the British Consul would not be
a member of the commission. The
Ambassador said:
IF Mr.. PerceVal was TO be mem
Der of the commission he would nat
urally be the president of that body
and | understand that the United
States will not have a diplomatic rep
resentative on the commission. It
would seem, therefore, that Mr.. Per
Ceval would be responsible for what
ever action is taken"
1t is understood here that Sir Ed
ward Grey, finding that the United
States would not send a State De-
partment representative on the com
mission made the counter move, the
object of which is to throw the re-
sponsiblity back upon the United
States.
The commissioners on the part of
the United States. as announced by
John Bassett Moore. will be two army
surgeons to be detailed by General
Bliss, a representative of the Depart =
ment of Justice to be selected by the
Federal attorney at FL Paso, rep
resentative of the Customs Depart
ment to be chosen by the Collector Of
Customs at El Paso.
The British Ambassador said the
British members would be two rep
resentatives to be selected by Consul
Perceval the widow of Mr.. Benton
and another relative.
He telegraphed the result Of his
conference with Mr.. Moore to the
British Foreign Office and Mr. Per-
Ceval He expects a reply from Sir

Sir Cecil Spring Rice disposed of
the stories that Great Britain was to
demand an indemnity or reparation
from Villa or Carranza. He said
nothing could be done until the facts

The snow that came to Atlanta last

Jack Clifford. who usually catches
Pitcher Evelyn Thaw, was not IN con-

the frenzied dancing that he and Mrs.

was suffering acute agony from a raw

He underwent an operation after the
performance Thursday night.
