ENGLISH JOURNALS
DOUBT MEDIATION
Show Little Enthusiasm Over
Proposal of South Ameri-
. can Countries.

LONDON. April 27.-English news
papers that have been calling for Am
erican Intervention in Mexico ever
since William s. Benton. British
subject was executed" by the Consti-
tutionalists, show no enthusiasm to-
day regarding the proposed mediation
of the Mexican-American dispute by
Southern American governments
I'VE have little hope that involved
issues can be unraveled by mediation"
says the Pail Mall Gazette.
The Westminster Gazette says:
THE Mexican situation has under
gone an unexpected turn which, We
hope, will make for peace.
1t Is good that these republics (Ar-
gentina, Brazil and Chilli should be
ready with advice. which, from them,
may be- more acceptable than any
similar advice from the United States"
The Globe expressed the opinion
that not much could be expected from
the mediation offer unless the United
States changed its policy.
The Star praised the motives Of
President Wilson. saying: "Once
more President Wilson has shown the
sincerity of his peaceful desires"

BOOST GYM FUNDS
BY FORMING CLUBS
Earlham Students Hope to
Raise $4,000 Before First
of September.

Interest in the gymnasium campaign
is being manifested by many of the
alumni of Earlham, who have written
to the college workers and pledged
their support in the venture. The lat
est plan of the committee is to organ
iZe clubs of ten students each to So
licit during the remainder of the term
and the summer vacation by what is
known as the fifty dollar plan, pro-
viding for the payment of ten dollars
each year for five years. 1t is hoped
that by September /, 1914, $4,000 can
be secured in subscriptions by this
manner.
The last five classes that have grad
uated from Earlham will be called on
and requested to organize in an at
tempt to boost the campaign to an
early end. An Earlham club will be
organized in Indianapolis, where there
are many alumni, and letters have
been sent to other similar organiza-
tons in different parts of the coun-
try.
The work that is being pushed with
the greatest haste at the present time
is the formation of plans for the con-
struction of the proposed building.
The committee comforting on the mat
ter is composed of Glenn Wood and
Sylvia Modissett, representing the SEN
iors, Coaches Reagen and Bassett and
Prof E. P Trueblood. of the faculty.
The plans are to be prepared by the
last of May. Specifications will be
given to several different architects to
secure the best possible results.

FOR RUSH
Chamness Says Only Half of
Taxes Paid.

The best evidence of the scarcity of
money is shown in the tax collections.
They have been coming in slowly until
Saturday when there were taxpayers
in the treasurer's office almost all day.
Because Of the closeness of the end of
the taxpaying period, Treasurer Cham
ness will have his office openTuesday
and Thursday nights of this week from
7 to 9 o'clock.
Big taxpayers are not paying their
taxes in full, but are making settle
ments for the first installment only.
Usually large number of the heaviest
taxpayers in the county pay in full
before the first of May, the last day
for spring taxpaying. This is believed
by Treasurer Chamness to be an indi
cation that money is not being circu
lated freely and that there is a lack
Of confidence among business men and
farmers.
AS the last day Of taxpaying is q
week from today, and half of the first
installment remains yet to be paid,
it is feared there may either be many
delinquents or there will be an extra
ordinary rush up to the last minute.
On the night of May the office doors
will close at 9 o'clock, and will re-
main closed for the following week.

FUNSTON TAKES COMMAND
OF VERA CRUZ TOMORROW

eraI Gustavo Mas. who evacuated
Vera Cruz.
General Mas is at Soledad, while
detachments of his troops are very
close to this place. Lieutenant Bal
linger travelled about eighty-five miles
and at time assembled to an altitude
of 1000 feet in order to escape the
bullets of any Mexican sharpshooters
who might be lurking in the mosquito
of the sandy plain west of Vera Cruz.
Food Supplies Diminish.
The steady influx Of refugees, to-
gether with the Americans and Euro
peans who fled from interior points,
has given Rear Admirals Fletcher and
Badger a big problem to solve.
The chief seriousness lies in the
scarcity of food and the increase in
the number of smallpox cases.
About one hundred Mexicans ap-
piled to United States Consul Canada
for assistance today, saying their fam
lilies were starving to death. They
had been employed building a dock at
the fortress of San Juan de Uloa in
the harbor, but the Mexican paymas-
ter had fled from the city, taking all
the cash with him, so the workers had
not been paid for three weeks.
Sunday passed quietly in the. city
proper, the only excitement being
caused by brush between Mexicans
and a detachment of blue Jackets in
the Vera Cruz cemetery, in which four
Mexican "snipers" were killed.

Gonzales reported indignities offer

particularly Of the arrest and deten-

general. Gonzales said that one Of
the first acts Of General Antonio E.

was to nberate Consul Hanna and
take him to the state palace, where
every privilege was accorded him and
everything possible done to atone for

ais.
Villa sent long dispatch of &C.
knowledgement and congratulation to
Gonzales, urging him to do everything
in his power to see that all foreign
ers were protected.
He cautioned Gonzales against SEN

of the United States towards the re-

stitutionalist cause with a view to
rousing enmity between the United
States and the Constituencies.

EXEMPT $l,05O,0OO
Bowman Expects Sum Taken
From Duplicates.

Thursday will be the last day for
filing mortgage exemptions. From
the number now filed in the auditors
office, the usual last minute rush will
take place this year for those who de-
sire to have part of their property ex-
empted from taxation. Under the pres
ent county tax rate, the exemption OF
500 mortgage, the maximum, means
an annual saving of $22.26 to the tax
payer,
About two thousand exemptions will
be filed, Auditor Bowman believes, II
the average rate of increase is being
maintained. If the amount of exemp-
lions increases proportionately, there
will be deducted from the tax dupli-
Gates, reaching the value of $1,O50,OOO
this year.
In 1911 the net exemptions or those
allowed amounted to S973,730; in 1912,
s1,O12,92O; in 1913. $1,02S, 240. In only
one year since 1900 has their been a
crease. This was in 1910, but the big
increase in 1911 maintained the aver

RATES HIGHER SOON
Passenger Fares to Ohio
Towns Increase.

Interstate railroad passenger rates
will be increased May l with the ap-
proval of the interstate commerce
commission. Rates to Indiana cities
will not be affected, but the fare to
New Paris, six miles away, has jump
ed from fourteen to twenty cents.
The increase in rates, some of
the passenger station employees be-
lieve, is to prevent saving on railroad
tickets by passengers who purchase
three or four tickets enroute. A few
of the increased rates follow:
Dayton, old rate IS cents, new rate
81; Xenia, old rate $1.15, new rate
$1.35; Columbus, old rate $3.50, new
rate $40; Cincinnati, old rate $1.25,
new rate $1.35. Many other Ohio
points are affected. The Chicago rate
probably will remain unchanged, but
other Illinois rates, as well as Ken
lucky and Michigan rates will be adj
canced.
