DEATH OF Mr.. J. J. BlERMAN

Many Of the readers of this paper
will be sorry to read the announce
ment of the death of Mr.. J. j. Bier
man. The deceased was for a long
time a citizen of Ocala, and will be
remembered for his cheerfulness of
speech and his industrious manner of
living.
Mr.. Bierman was a shoemaker by
trade, and by frugality and industry
accumulated enough to live on in his
old age with ease and comfort, but
disease overlook him and his last
days were spent in pain and his
death was relief from suffering.
Mr. Bierman was born in Alsace,
France, and was a soldier in the war
against Germany in 1870.
He revisited his old home about
ten years ago and was especially de-
lighted with the days he spent in
Paris, but he preferred to live in
Florida, and returned to live here per-
manently.
His remains were laid to rest in
Greenwood cemetery Monday after
noon. Rev. w. H. Dodge performed
the last sad funeral rites, and Messrs.
McIver and MacKay were the under
takers.
In the death of Mr. Bierman Ocala
loses a good, quiet, frugal and we'll
behaved citizen.

Mr.. Robert Taylor, soliciting trav-
cling agent for the Atlantic Coast
Line railway, was in Ocala Wednes-
day. He stated to a reporter of the
Banner that in and around Webster,
Sumter county, the truckers have had
no rain in eight weeks. They had
three thousand acres planted to to-
matoes and expected to ship at least
fifteen hundred carloads. Up to date
they have shipped but fifty-seven. For
tunately, however, they did not have
all of their eggs in one basket, and
made good ON other truck. Mr.. Tay-
lor says they are still able to show
good bank accounts.

AN AUTO WRECKED

A Cole automobile was found Wed
nesday afternoon at the bottom OF the
steep hill between Be.leview and
Lake Weir, turned turtle. but as all
the occupants had left it it is not
supposed that anyone was injured, at
least not seriously.
After diligent inquiry we could not

MR.. CARNEY REPLIES TO MR.,
STRIPPING

Editor Star: Some of the bows
die hard, and as you say are "tum-
myaching" badly.
Now, one w. w. Stripping, who
ran for tax collector in our recent
primary and was elected to take a
back seat, away back, sees fit (whilst
trying to dust his clothes off from
being walloped) to criticise my ad-
ministration of the tax collectors Of
fice whilst was an incumbent near
ly four years ago. AS you have Civ
en- his article space l beg the same
courtesy for this reply.
Mr.. Stripping gives two reasons
for his recent candidacy for tax COL
lector, namely: Wanting a more re-
munerative job than the one he now
has, but mainly to right the great
wrong done the Marion county peo-
pie by closing the tax books, as the
law directs.
Mr.. Stripping has sprung nothing
new. This same old ammunition
was wasted some years ago, when l
was in office. 1t was then thrashed
out and the people stood by me for
my adherence to the law and from
the results of the recent primary the
people seem to be of the same opin-
ion now as they were when l was in
the office. This worn out appeal
to the dear people, voiced by a new
man, Mr.. Stripping, has never been
able to arrest the attention of but
few disgruntled, wells, but
not the ears of the sensible business
public.
| went into the tax collectors of
flee under oath. l determined to
comply with every law on the sta
tutes, that had any bearing on the
tax collectors office. This l did.
Section so of the revenue law
reads as follows:
IF the taxes on any real estate
shall not be paid before April 1st of
any year the tax collector shall ad-
vertise and sell in the manner fol-
lowing" etc.
This is the law and no arbitrary
ruling of mine and the man who
does not carry out this law, as near
as possible, violates the oath he has
taken, when assuming the duties of
tax collector. This law also provides
that the sale of these delinquent
taxes shall take place on the first
Monday in June of each year, and
further that this sale list shall be
published for five consecutive weeks
prior to the sale. This leaves only
about three weeks within which to
make out this list and get it into the
hands of the printer. This work is
very eXacting and the least error is
charged up to the collector and he,
not the state, has to pay the printer.
The tax collector can't afford to make
many of these blunders and it is
we'll that the law provides time for
him to do this work.
Two of the three weeks just men
toned above are generally required
to write receipts for money that is
in letters on hand April 1st and not
receipted for on account of the great
rush of taxpayers in person, just
prior to the closing of the books.
One season I had several hundred of
these letters on hand April 1st and

Washington, May 22.-"The further
urgent deficiency" appropriation bill,
making provision for more than &c.
100000 for the present fiscal year.
largely on account of the Mexican
crisis is before the house for action.
An interesting statement had been
prepared by the war department to
show exactly the approximate amount
of the deficiencies in appropriations
of the quartermasters' department of
the army, due to the Mexican situa-
ton to June 80. This made total of
S4513.l36. 1t includes $1.100.149 for
subsistence, $2.42907O for transporta-
tion of the army, both along the bor-
der and to Mexico. and numerous other
items relating TO pay on account of
increased strength of the army by
reason OF the Mexican trouble. OF
the total amount i'm the deficiency es-
Inmates on account of Mexico covered
I'm the bill, the government already
is obliged for $l,624, ,S52.
The figures presented showed that
fitting up chartered ships for troops
and animals cost $4,000. For horse
shoes and nails alone the bill carries
$4,000. The charterng of the steam
ers Saltilla and san Marcos TO June
30. $3l 500 and FOR chartering of addi-
tional steamers 10 June 30, 1919. 900
was asked. Altering the transport Me
Clellan for cold storage cost $40. .0OO.
The movement of troops to the Mex
lean border during April cost $155,5Og.
Among other things the bill meets
a war department estimate of $43.39O
for movement of troops on account of
the Colorado strike and $14,715 for the
squadron of the Twelfth cavalry from
Fort Meade TO Fort Wingate. 1t was
set out that the expenses of the house
mines committees that investigated
the Colorado and Michigan strikes
aggregated 5000 and $4,000 respective
ly. An appropriation of $4,000 was
authorized for these inquiries and the
two committees are expected To use
all of it before completing their work.

U. S. TROOPSlARE
READY TO MOVE
ON SHORT NOTICE
War Officials Say Country Was
Never in Better Shape to
Take the Field
ISSUE SOON TO Be DECIDED
Officials Admit That They Are
Preparing for a Failure to
Eliminate Huerta
ISSUE SOON TO Be DECIDED

Washington, ID. G., May 22.-The
United States army and navy waits
the word from Niagara Falls. 1t is
ready for immediate action. Despite
the ban on news at the war depart
ment it was learned that the entire
teet of transports, fully equipped to
care for an entire held army, is more
in readiness than ever for boarding at
Galveston. Enough ammunition and
supplies To maintain an entire divi-
sion in the field for months are ON
board. 1t is up To the mediators TO
determine whether il is all Ia be used
or later sent back To New York for
storage.
The question of war or peace will
he settled within ten days. This is
the belief at soth the White House
and the state department. The United
States commissioners To the media
ton conferences have already made
public that this governments irreduc-
ible minimum demand is the uncon-
ditional retirement of Iluerta. If that
comes, well ana good. Then they will
take up the next step. II it does not
then they will come back here. me-
diation will be at an end and il Will
be up To President Wilson to deter
mine his next aggressive step.
Meanwhile, however. the adminis-
tration continues confident that me-
diation is to succeed. The measures
taken have all been precautionary. IL
the armed forces of the United States
take the field this time they will do
so in better condition than ever be
fore in their history.
Reports that the constitutionalists
are still discriminating against Span
iards and have declared all of that
nationality shall be driven from Mex
leo If their cause trumphs disturbs
officials here. Such action would cause
a complication that might bring about
a concert of nations against Mexico
that would threaten the Monroe doc
trine.
The war department now has evil
dence that Private Parks was executed
by the federals. There is no DISPOSE
tion on the part of ofiicia!dom to take
any action i'm either instance pend
ing the decision of the mediation con-
ference.
