renewed when the general provisions Of
the Colombian treaty became known.
The Tampico incident was therefore
seized upon, it is explained, as a splendid
opportunity for vigorous action by which
to disprove the charge that the present
government is supine in its task of guard
ing the reputation of the United States
and the safety of its citizens abroad.
Huerta May Force Hand.
Had the matter been left in Admiral
MayO's hands there is little doubt en-
tertained here but that the salute would
have been fired before now. 1t would
have been simple for the admiral, with
all the vessels at his command, to have
frightened the federal commander into
firing the salute demanded in prompt
fashion. The training of the guns of the
warships upon one OF the federal gun
boats at Tampico, or upon the federal
barracks would have been enough, it is
believed, to obtain a speedy response.
Huerta, however, is not accessible to
the American warships. Should he refuse
10 yield on the point at issue, there is
no way in which the United States can
compel submission except by actual
force present in Mexico City. 1t is point
ed out that having taken the matter up
with Huerta, there would be no salts
faction in this government turning back
TO Gen. Zaragosa and making him fire
the salute whether Huerta orders him
to do so or not 1t is not beyond the
Mexican President. If his past perform
ances are any criterion, to refuse to yield,
and defy the United States to make him,

The table presented by Judge Prouty

| The Iowa member reiterated the bonn
bastic denuncistion OF the Washington
'plunderbund." to which he usually
treats the House, asserted modestly, and
blushingly admitted. that he was dis
playing great personal courage by oppos-
ing this wicked" clique, and followed
the same line of heroic illogic which
scattering of the House had listened
to many times before.
Says Taxation Is Evaded.
Approaching a discussion of the merits
Of his amendment. the judge drew a
strong malportrait of the vast wealth in
Intangible property which has escaped
taxation in the District for years
Il am not prepared to say that you can
always find this property and assess it,"
he said, but that roes not relieve US of
the responsibility of trying to do it. II
you have studied Washington, you will
notice a peculiar situation. There is
practically no other Jurisdiction within
1900 miles of the city where a man can
escape the taxation that he can escape
here They have no inheritance tax
here
BY the reason that there is no in
heritance tax and the fact that moneys
and credits escape taxation, this city has
been made the asylum for the rich, and
I will go on record on the proposition
that there is no city OF its size in the
United States that has as much extra
surplus wealth in the form of moneys and
credits as this city.
Says Millionaire Paid s2s.
'T could show you. gentleman, upon
the tax rolls of this city where a man
worth more than $4,000. 900, in one in
stance, has lived here for twenty-five
to thirty years and has only paid s27
tax in the whole time. and that hap
pened to be on goods that were in
storage.
IF you will just read the pages of
the Revised Statutes OF the United
States you will see without any won
der that there have been few men
who have been willing to stand on the
floor of this House and defend the
people of the United States against
the ayaricious greed and pelf Of these
people. Now that will make splendid
headlines in the morning newspapers
in the city of Washington"

A modification Of this report. for which
there was a certain degree of official

COLORADO STRIKE PROBLEM
STILL BATTLES

STILL BATTLES
Washington, Nov. 5.-With cleo
tons out of the way, administration
officials today began to give renewed
attention to the serious problems
the Mexican situation and the Colo
RADIO strike.
While state and war department
authorities disclaim any intent to
make a serious move for ending the
puzzling Mexican problem, every in
dication today pointed to some de-
cisive action to bring to an end the
political uncertainties south of the
Rio Grande. Continued reports of
anti-American agitation give alarm to
officials. CarTanza's silence - his
only answer to United States de-
mands- another Vexatious prob
lem. Indications were today that the
administration would not brook de-
lay much longer.
In the Colorado strike situation,
election of a Republican governor of
Colorado lent a new complication.
What his attitude toward presence of
federal troops in the strike district
will be, officials here do not know.
While the White House denies the
president is contemplating" closing
down or taking over the Colorado
mines, he nevertheless has asked the
department of justice what his pow
ers in the circumstances are. Atty
Gen. Gregory, it was indicated today,
has not yet rendered his opinion, but
has the question under consideration.
Elections admittedly complicated
the Colorado situation, as they did
the Mexican problem, so administra-
ton observers today were freely pre-
dieting that decisive steps in both sit
nations would soon be taken.

PLEADS FOR WORKING GIRLS
ASKS MORE CONSIDERATION
Better hours for the working girls
and boycott forIoverworking and
underpaying manufacturers was adj
vocated by Miss Elsa Wertheim talk
ing before the German-American
Women's Club at the La Sale Hotel
She asked the women to be more
considerate of the girl Iaboring in the
laundry and not to send their goods
to be washed on Monday. Ten-hour
days during the last part of the week
and a lack of work in the early part
was the result.
Most housewives send their wash
ing on Monday and it is Tuesday or
Wednesday before the work is ready
for the actual washing. Then it has
piled up until the girls must put in /
the longest day the law allows to
clean up the work. Washing done
on Tuesday and Wednesday must be
ironed on Thursday and Friday.
''The woman who shops officially
will see that she gets her moneys
worth and that all preventable evils
have been done away with in the
manufacture iof goods purchased"
said Miss Wertheim.
when woman knows any food
stuff is manufactured where en-
ployes are underpaid, oYerworked or
forced to submit to unhealthful con-

has before it also the trade commission
bill drafted by subcommittee Of its
own and upon which number of hear

considered a much more stringent meas

Useful and Ornamental.
While the design and style of the me-
mortal will be left open to the competi-
tive architects, the trustees have already
determined upon the chief features that
are to be comprised within the interior.
In this they have been guided by the
dsire to make the building as usful as it
will be ornamental.
The main feature will include an
auditorium, seating 1000 persons: a pub
lie library, a relic room, in which will
be placed personal and historic objects
associated with the life of Mckinley

veterans of the Grand Army of the Re-
public where the state encampments
may be held, and for Spanish-American
War Veterans, and a room for the
meetings of officials of the city. The
building will be of granite, two stories
and basement.
Facing the main entrance of the me-
mortal will be a life figure of President
Mckinley. Bronze busts of men asso-
ciated with him in the affairs of the
nation are to have a place in the build
ing. These men will be ex-Presidents
Roosevelt and Taft. James Ward, the
elder. who was a pioneer manufacturer

mill there in 1912. and Senator Mark
