HEAVY SHORTAGE FOUND
 IN AUTO LICENSE FUND Many Receipts for Payment of License by Automobs Are Hand But Money Has Never Yet Reached Treasury.
 Governor Has Ordered Prosecutions

There is considerable stir in automo- bile circles in regard to the payment of automobile license and sensational devel- opments are expected.
 1t is said that shortage of between $500 and sl2,00o due the state for licenses has been discovered but the responsible ity for the shortage Is in doubt It will be. recalled that recently the governor sent communication to Joseph R. Tate. circuit solicitor, advising him that many automobile owners in the county had failed to pay license and instructed him to enter criminal proceedings against them.
 For the past few days Bradley Brown, brother of Cy Brown, secretary of state mas been in the city for the purpose of furnishing the solicitor with a list oi the deinquents. There were quite num- Der of owners whose names did not ap- pear on the paid-up list but upon ln- vestigation it was found that they had a receipt for the amount of the license signed by persons connected with the Ala bama Tire Repair company, whose pres ident. James K. Kennedy, had been as signed by Secretary of State Brown to collect the automobile license for this county.

REBEL CABINET IS HAILED AS MEANS OF HEALING BREACH Carranza Expected to Name Official Family Soon.
 Calls Leaders to
 SaltillO

Eagle Pass. Tex, June 1e.-The naming of the constitutionalst cabinet by General Carranza now is eagerly awaited by con stitutionalists as a possible means Of healing the breach between General Car ranza and General Villa, according to ar rivals here, who left Saltillo and Mon terey yesterday. There was a general impression at those points, according to the travellers, that General Carranza would name his official family within two or three days. Should the men named be satisfactory to the Villa fac ton and should they consent to serve, it was hoped by those conversant with the situation that the difficulties between the first chief and his chief general might be made things Of the past.
 A hurried call, it was said, had been sent out from Carranza's headquarters for representative men, thoroughly con versant with the undercurrents of consti- nationalist politics. to come to Saltillo to confer with him concerning the cabinet choices It is well known, according tc border arrivals, that considerable opposi- tion has arisen on the part of Villa anC his friends to certain men close to Car ranza Among these it is reported, i: Fernando Iglesias calderon. This oppo sition, it is declared, may tend to upse the forecast already made concerning the personnel of the cabinet.

ORGANIZED BALL MAY OPEN ARMS ID FEDERAL LEAGUE Major Magnates Meet and Discuss Present Troubles. Plan to Adjust the
 Situation

New York, June 19.--Although represen- tatives of organized baseball were here in numbers today. presumably to con- slider ways and means of setting federal league opposition. there was little evil dence of serious consideration of the question.
 Governor Tener of Pennsylvania, pres ident of the National league, presided at brief session of that organization, but so far as could be learned no action was taken. The meeting adjourned until morning to see what would be done at a meeting of the national commission, set for tonight.
 No meeting of the commission was
 held. however, because Ban Johnson.
 president of the American leag que. was
 unaccountably absent.
 Various rumors were in circulation as
 to the probable action to be taken. That something radical was likely to result from the concave of the magnates was a general belief. Leading men of or ganized baseball have declared only re- gently that the Federal league would not l last through the present season, but the
 undercurrent of the talk about the head I quarters of the National, American and 1 International league representatives to 1 take part in the supposed council of wal l indicated that the magnates were much | worried about the inroads made by the
 new organization on the established l leagues.
 | That out of war peace might be evolved l was one persistent report. The plar 1 contemplated, it was said involved sat | isfying in one move the demands of tho American association and Internationa
 leagues, which wish to be raised to the l major league status by the abolishmen l of the draft. and composing the oppo sition of the Federals by taking then | into the ranks of organized baseball
 The coalition of Federal and Interna | tional League clubs in Baltimore an,
 Buffalo and the provision of a place fol
 the Wards of Brooklyn. by admittinf that city to the International league cir
 cult, were moves included in the plan,
 reported under consideration. Similar
 moves. with the American association A.

 surrounding consolidation in the westerr ] territory.

Mr. Kennedy stated yesterday that he had not collected one cent unless he fur nished the autoist with tag and that all money he collected was accounted for. He is at loss to account for the all legged shortage but denies any responsi- blity himself. Fred Wall, attorney, has been engaged by a number of persons who have paid their licenses but have no tag The amount is between SIP and $l5. He has in his possession a number of receipts signed by J. W. Brown. sec
 retary and treasurer of the Alabama Tire Repair company. and H. M. De- Witt, an employe of the concern.
 As to the amounts said to be due. 1t Is understood that last year about $28. 900 was paid to the state from this coun- ty, while the present year the state has received only about $l4.00o up to this time. This, however, caused the governor to order the prosecution of those who had not paid the license tax It Is under
 stood that Mr. Kennedy Is under a s500t bond to Secretary of State Brown. The matter is being thoroughly investigated and all owners of automobiles are being looked up as to when their licenses were paid and how many licenses were collect ed without the tags being Issued. Il will be remembered that at one time during the year the auto tags ran out and the owners were allowed to run by exhibiting the receipt for payment.
