Chicago Woman
To Assess Lingerie

Chicago, March 22.-Eight club wo-
men. politicians, were appointed and
sworn in Saturday as deputy assess
ors by Frank w. Koraleski, secretary
of the Board of Assessors, as a fur
ther recognition of the woman's move
ment. He says that the employment
of women in this capacity is the first
experiment of it's kind in the country.
While the women assessors will
work in the same manner as the men,
they are expected to pay particular
attention to the personal property
holdings OF women. They will ask the
women If they have personal checking
accounts, what stocks and bonds they
hold in their own name and the cost
OF furs. silk and lingerie they have
imported.
Tho women will receive salary of
81 a day and koraleski says he be-
l;eves their work will bring added rev.
enues that will easily overshadow the
expense imposed on the government
by the Suffrage extension.
1.-THE appointment of the women was
brought about by the women them
selves. Prominent women have called
since the woman's suffrage law went
into effect, asserted women wanted to
become taxpayers and argued that to
bring that about women should have
some part in the taxing" said Kora-
leski
They will be assigned to districts
where their work will be the most ef-
fective and least pleasant.
'In the few days we have discussed
the woman deputy question. a dozen
new ideas in assessing have devel-
oped. believe women will prove to
be out most ingenious deputies. One
of them has already made a suggestion
entirely new to me. She said that many
Chicago women have their private
checking accounts. hold stocks and
bonds in their own name, and passess
wardrobes representing more money
than has been charged to their hus-
bands in the past. She wanted to know
why women, who import rich furs,
silks and lingerie, which to the ordi-
nary man would be worth fortune,
shouldn't pay taxes"

Washington, March 22.-Although
full reports of the conference at vera
Cruz between John Lind and Senior
Portillo Rojas, minister of foreign
affairs in the Huerta cabinet, nave
been received here, the disposition OF
the American government is to make
no change in its policy toward Mexico
or express itself on any of the new
proposals reported to have been made
until after the battle of Torreon is
fought This became known tonight
authoritatively, although officials de-
elined to say what new proposals had
been made by the Mexican cabinet
officer. Reports that a more friendly
feeling prevails between the Wash
ington government and those officials
of the Huerta administration who are
seeking a peaceful settlement of the
difficulty are borne out by dispatches
received here by Charge Algara of the
Mexican embassy, who said today
that President Wilson's attitude in
welcoming resumption of peace ne
gotiations had made a favorable i'm
preston in the Mexican capital. One
of the purposes of the visit of Senro

London, March 23.-Premier Asquith
has authorized the Times to make the
following statement in his behalf, in
order to remove three misapprehen-
sions in the public mind as to the gov
ernment's actions and Intentions:
First" he says the recent move
ment of troops in ireland were of a
purely precautionary character. as it
is obvious that the policy of disposing
small bodies of troops in Ulster would
be perfectly useless from a strategic
viewpoint. The intention was to pro-
tect depots of supplies and ammuni-
ton from raids. No further movements
of troops are known here.
Second, that warrants had been sis-
sued for the arrest of the Ulster lead
ers never had the slightest founda-
ton. oubtless Sir Edward Carson and
his supporters honestly believe the ru-
NOR, but the government never has
taken and does not contemplate any
such step. Third, there seems to be a
widespread impression abroad that the
government contemplates instituting a
general inquisition into the intention
of officers in event Of their being asked
to take arms against Ulster. No such
action is intended, If only for the rea-
son that the employment OF troops
against Ulster is a contingency which
the government hopes may never
arise
The Times adds that the prime min
lister declined to make a statement
about the Curragh designations until
Gen. Sir Arthur Paget had been con-
suited
