WON'T PAY HER INCOME TAX
Dir. Anna Howard Shaw Declares She

Evade Contribution.

Philadelphia.-Who is an "it' and
what is an '.it'' are questions being
asked by Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of the National Woman's
Suffrage Association, in connection
with her refusal to declare the value
of her personal property for taxation.
The blank sent Doctor Shaw to be
filled out called for declaration OF
personal property owned by him or it,
and the suffrage leaders argues that
as she neither is him" or sit" she is
therefore exempt
When Doctor Shaw refused to de-
clare the value of her property at
Moylan, Pa, the. county commissions
ers placed upon it an assessed valu-
alton of $4,000. That, according to
Miss Lucy Anthony, her secretary, is

President BiIIinghurst Taken
From National Palace and
Held Prisoner.
NEW GOVERNMENT is CERTAIN
Politicians Start War When Public
Trough Is Closed to Them in
Effort to Lift Country's
Enormous Debt.

Lima, Peru.@The president of
Peru, Guillermo Billinghurst, was
taken prisoner by revolutionists.
The rebels suddenly attacked the
presidential palace under the 'eader-
ship of Colonel Benavides. Gen. Enr1-
que Varela. premier and minister of
war, was killed in the sharp fight that
ensEed.
Thousands of the Inhabitants of
Lima dashed into the streets. alarmed
by the firing. Squads of soldiers
were ordered to fire volleys into the
air to prevent the formation of crowds
in the streets and by this method they
kept the panic stricken people moving
from place to place.
In the vicinity of San Pedro Church
a civilian bystander was killed by a
bullet
Great alarm prevails throughout the
city. Banks and stores were closed
and private houses barricaded.
DR.. Augusta Durand, former revo-
1utionary leader, whose arrest was
sought by the police recently took
possession of the palace. 1t is gen
orally believed that he will at once
organize new government.
Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to President Bill
1inghurst's earnest efforts to place the
finances of his country on a sound
basis. His scheme for doing this in
volved the strictest economies
throughout the public service, and
naturally proved unpopular. particu-
larly among office holders who saw
their salaries and estimates pruned
with a merciless hand.

.SUFFs SEE. WILSON
Three Hundred Women March
to White House to Inter-
view President.
CANNOT SPEAK FOR PARTY.
Tells Visitors That While Profoundly
Impressed He Can Do Nothing
Until His Party Acts.

Washington.-Presid Wilson gave
no encouragement to- delegation OF
three hundred working women who
marched on the White House with
a brass band and flying colors to ask
his support for constitutional amend
ment enfranchising women.
Twenty-Five of the women were re-
ceived by the President and five, in
short speeches, presented their argu-
ment. The President reiterated that
as leader of the Democratic party he
was limited only to recommending
those things on which the party had
made up its mind.
The women's appeal was principally
an argument for the creation of
house committee on suffrage, though
they endeavored to elicit some COM
ment from the President as to his per-
sonal attitude on the suffrage issue.
Il want to say just this said the
President, Il need not tell you that
what you have said makes a profound
impression upon me, but l have al
ready explained my limitations. I'm
til party as such has taken posi-
ton ON a question, l am not at liberty
to speak for it. 1 am limited in ex-
pressing my opinions, no matter what
NY individual thought may be.
have no doubt that your visit will
make a profound impression"
The word was issued from the
White House that the President would
take a similar position on all dele
cations for woman suffrage, and that
until the Democratic party had taken
a stand on the subject, he would not
try to force any opinion on it.

IS LIFTED
President Wilson Will Permit
Shipment of War Supplies
to Mexico.
EXECUTIVE ORDER is ISSUED
All Restrictions Against Expectation
of Arms Removed-Both Sides
Now on Equal Footing.

Washington, D. president Will
son, by an executive order made pub
lie at the White House, removed all
restrictions against the expectation
of munitions of war into Mexico from
the United States, placing the con-
tending elements on a basis of equal
ity with respect to the purchase OF
arms and supplies in this country.
The executive order emphasized
that it was the desire of the United
States to be in the same position of
neutrality toward the contending fac
tions in Mexico as were the other
powers
There is every reason to believe
that under the authority of the joint
resolution of March IA. 1912, Presi-
dent Wilson will continue to exercise
a discretionary power in issuing per-
m1ts for the expectation of arms, SO
that they may not fall into the hands
of irresponsible persons.
So far as possible, only the military
chiefs on both sides in the Mexican
revolt will obtain the munitions of
war, although exactly how that will
be done has not yet been worked out.
The Presidents decision was reached
after many months of careful study of
the arms problem and while in the
first instance the belief of the admin
istration was that the denial of arms
was a human act, the conviction has
grown upon the Washington Govern
ment that it's policy has operated in
equally toward the warning factions.
Partially instead OF neutrality was
the result of the policy, in the opinion
of the President and his Cabinet, who
finally determined that the real neu-
trail course would be to put both fac
tons on an even footing.
The administration also believed
to permit the situation to drift along
would be merely contributing to an
incessant struggle with additional
bloodshed 1t has been urged by
many administration supporters that
the removal of the embargo would in
reality shorten the contest and bring
it to quick conclusion, thus decreas-
ing bloodshed.

CONCERNING DREAMS.

No doubt the demand for dream
books has fallen on, and dream inter
prefers are hard to find, but mankind
continues to be impressed by these
mental mysteries. as it has been since
the days of Joseph in Egypt A learn
ed Austrian professor devotes re-
Gently published volume to the inter
probation of dreams. Needless to say,
there is no superstition about 1t. His
findings and explanations are based
on purely scientific grounds He be-
lieves that most of our dreams are
founded on wish fulfllment-a char
acteristic of the Imagination common
to the dream and the psychosis. Usu-
ally it is the wish to obtain; some
times the wish to avoid. The profes-
sor, whose own dreams have greatly
interested him, cites homely causes
for these phenomena, thirst being one
of them. If he eats salty articles of
food, he becomes thirsty in the night
and awakens. Usually this awaken
ing is preceded by dream in which
the professor has the sensation of
drinking. The dream liquid is just
what he Graves, sweet and cool, and
he awakens with his thirst sharpen
ed. The professor goes far for some
of bis explanations, but he determin-
eddy carries the impression that there
never was a dream that couldn't be
solved by natural causes.
