ASSESSOR MAY Be
1915 TAX COLLECTOR
Ben West Says Treasurer Force Un-
familiar With Reasons For Difference
In Assessments Against Adjoining
Properties.

County Assessor Ben West will move
into his new quarters on the lower floor
Of the court house tomorrow and after
the furniture is arranged the office
force with three new deputies will be-
gin writing the tax rolls for 1914. The
new office, which was formerly oc-
cupied by the county clerk, is being
painted today for che finishing touch
before the grand entry of the assessor.
The county township maps for refer
ence for the public have been put into
new cases, which are declared to be a
material improvement over the old ones
which rolled up like a window shade.
The new ones are hung on swinging
arms which permits the maps to be
seen but will not wear them out by
rubbing over the others as in the old
cases. The new cases take up less than
one-fourth the room required for the
old ones.
Mr.. West expressed the opinion that
the assessor s office would be able to
utilize all of the floor space in short
time as II was likely that the next
legislature would pass a law making
the assessor the tax collector. Now the
office has been turned over to the
county treasurer but the county treas
urer s force is necessarily unfamiliar
with the reason for the difference in
assessments on property. A property
owner pays his taxes but protests that
his taxes are too high according to the
tax paid by his neighbor. The treasurer
did net make the assessment and is
unable to give the reason for the ap
parent discrimination. However, if tn,
collection of the taxes was in the hand
of the assessor the office force woul,
know why the one piece of propert.
was assessed higher than the other ant
would be better able to adjust differ
ences which cause protests from prop
erty owners.

President RECEIVES MESSAGE.

Annapolis, June 5.-An important
message from the GA. B. c." media
tors was received today by President
Wilson on board the yacht Mayflower,
on his way to attend the graduation
exercises at the naval academy here.
1t was believed to be a protest at
the inaction by the authorities which
permitted the steamship Antilla to
leave New York with ammunition for
the Mexican rebels at Tampico.
One surmise was that the communi-
cation contained request from the
mediators that the Antilla be stopped
on its voyage.
Presidential Private Secretary Tu-
multy would not discuss the matter
1t was known positively that the mes
sage was from the mediators and that
Tumulty handed it to, the president al

Mediators Not Worrying.

IA. B. c." mediators were not worry

the rebels to take part in the American
Mexican peace negotiations.
In fact, it was stated that they had
expected the constitutionalist leader
would take some time to think the sit
uation over, and considered it natural
that he should do so. They continued
to hope he would agree to join the con-
ference under the terms they suggest
ed. In the meantime there were fur

mediators and the American and Mex

Some persons in close touch with the
negotiations and with conditions in
Mexico were not quite so optimistic.

toned whether the troops actually in
the field under Generals Natera, Villa

Ignoring the Antilla matter, mem

TROUBLES PASSED UP
TO R. R. COMMISSION
Kohn, Of HillsOoro, Is Put Off Train
Out In Brush and Complains OF His
Treatment.

The railroad commission has troubles
of its own, but these are trifles COM
pared to the troubles of other people
that are passed up to it. Here is a
sample. Mr.. B. Kohn, Of Hillsbuto,
recently wrote the commission com
planning of the P. f. & Il, and stating
that he had purchased ticket from
Beavertown to Newton, and that in
stead of being allowed to get off the
train at Newton he was put off in the
brush and had to teach the place On
foot. The commissioners passed the
complaint up to the p, Il. & E. author
tiles and they meekly plead guilty but
give the following exteuuating cir
cumstances.
They claim that the train on which
Mr.. Kohn was travelling does not stop
at Newton and that the agent at
Beaverton had no right or authority 20
sell Mr.. Kohn the ticket for that place
They further claim that the conductor
in taking up the fares discovered this
ticket but after telling Mr.. Kohn the
train did not stop at Newton, instructed
the brak eman to allow Mr.. Kohn to gel
off there. This was nice of the con
ductor and showed an accommodating
spirit. The brakeman however was

BIG STRIKE THREATENED
NEW LABOR UNION IS STRONG.
Employees Gather at Westinghouse
Plant But Do Not Go to Work
Demand Better Wages and Hours.

East Pittsburg, Ia, June 5.-The
Westinghouse plants here, employing
between 10000 and 10000 hands, were
threatened today with general strike.
The o'clock shift did not begin
work ut all. The employees gathered at
the factory gates at starting time but
announced they would not work until
the company met the demand they made
concerning wages, hours and conditions.
This shift included 20 per cent or
the membership Of the Allegheny Con-
genial Industrial Union, an organization
Of Westinghouse employees. Considering
that it was but recently formed, its
officials expressed much surprise, and
qualification at the strength it showed.
They predicted that shift after shift
would follow the first ones example
and that by midnight 10000 at least
would be out.

complish this, they said they needed
only 1900 more recruits.
At noon crowd Of 10000 was march
ing about the Westinghouse plant in
cluding $500 strikers. There was no
violence.
The strikers demands included the

BY John Edwin Nevin.

Washington, June 5.-General Car
rama was believed here today to be
delaying his answer 20 the ga. B. c."
mediators invitation to the rebels to
take part in the American Mexican
peace negotiations until he sees wheth-
er or not the steamship Antilla is al
lowed to land the cargo of war muni-
tions with which it sailed from New
York for Tampico. 1t was reported
that the mediators were highly indig-
nant because the Antilla was allowed
to sail, but Secretary of State Bryan
refused to discuss the matter.
Federals May Blockade.
As to what course would be adopted
with reference to the Antilla on its ar
rival at Tampico there was much spec
ulation. 1t was understood that Com
modore Azueta, commanding the Mex
lean federal gunboats Progresso, Bravo
and Zargosa, would attempt block
ode, preventing the ship from entering
the harbor.
There was no question that though
the Antilla was allowed to clear from
New York before the latest embargo
became effective, the administration
was unwilling to have its cargo reach
the rebels and leaving free hand to
Azueta would be one way of accom-.
plishing this.
May Resume Hostilities.
Nevertheless, Admiral Mayo's pres
ent instructions are to prevent the fed
erals from blockading the port. I'm
less they are countermanded, it was ex-
peeted he would warn the three gun
boats away and noncompliance on Azu
eta's part, it was said, might mean a
resumption of hostilities.
Carranza Makes Appointments.
Torreon, Mex, June 5.-General Car
rama was reported here today to hav,
decided on the following appointment
to posts in his provisional cabinet:
State-Rafael Zuburan Capmany.
Promotion of industry-Fernand,
Calderon.
War-Felipe Angeles.
Communieations-~Ignace BOnillas.
Justiee-Eliso Arredondo.
Foreign-Luis Cabrera.
Observation-Disclosures Villareal.
Railroad Hopelessly Wrecked.
Who would be given the portfolio
of agriculture and education, it wa
said had not ben decided.
A report received from General M
terra today said fighting had been i
progress for several days in the out
skirts of Zacateeas and that the rebel
had been uniformly victorious H
placed his own losses at 100 and tn
federals at four times as many.
The railroad south of Zacatecas, h
added, was hopelessly wrecked, so
would be impossible for the fedora
to escape in that direction.

STATE BLIND SCHOOL
CLOSES YEARS WORK
Cantata, "The Moon Queen" Com
pletes Excellent Musical Program
Rendered Clever Work Of Students
Shown.

The annual closing exercises at the
State School for the Blind last night
drew an unusually large number of
visitors. All available space was filled
and still hundred or more could not
gain entrance.
The program was a splendid one and
was exeellently carried out in all its
parts. AS the clever work of the pupils
is seen, and the fact that all their
knowledge must be received through
the senses of hearing and touch is re-
membered, the wonder of it all is over
whelming. Nor it this wonder confined
to the pupils alone, but the infinite
patience of the teachers whose lives are
devoted to these afflicted ones, and the
wonderful results they obtain call for
high praise and profound admiration.
Their work was illustrated last night
in the perfect drilling shown by their
charges, and the fine rendering of the
entire program. The opening number,
chorus, "Pond Lilies" gave pleasing
intimation of good things to- follow,
and its promise was fully kept; for as
number followed number, there was no
falling off from the hign standard set.
A piano duet by Anna Duedall, and
Buell. Field, was heartily applauded.
A selection by Ellen Fusion and Rose
Fosnot "The Fairies Tea was one of
the treats of the evening. The latter
has an especially sweet voice and GER
tainly o most captivating presence. She
was graceful as a fawn and had the
stage presence and confidence of pro-
fessional They were compelled to
answer an encore and even then the
audience wanted more. Master Wen
dali Helm on the piano interpreted
Hesitation" and did it splendidly
Nell Roberts and Marguerite Flower
gave vocal duet charmingly, and Pro
fessOr Roberts gave "lmpromptn No
81, from Taylor, in his usual masteffH
way.
After this came the main feature q
the evening, the cantata "The Mooi
Queen" 1t was given by nine littl'
folks in the parts, with a chorus o
"clouds", "breezes'' ''raindrols
''sunbeams and stars, and i
moved from start to finish as smoothl,
as if put ON by a regular company, an
showed again the patience, perservei
anee and love of the work as well a
, the children, that moved the teacher
to perfect them in their parts.
The costumes were very pretty an
appropriate, made of filmy white STUFF
flecked out with tinsel, and the stag
settings of greenery, blossoms and scfn
made it a realistic fairy scene.
Those taking part in the cantata wer
Herman Moore, Veda Miller, !larol
Foster, Freda Mauer, Viola Bradle,
Magdalene Derr, Anna Duedall, Tcdd
Howe and little Rose Fosnot.
There was only one fault that coul
e be found and that was that the roo
: was not large enough to hold the aud
: ence and this also crowded thu stat
o into close quarters. Outside Of tina
l. teachers and pupils can well feel PROV
of the work done last night and II
d little folks can have the pleasure
IT knowing they furnished a delight

n be remembered by all who we had Il
d very great pleasure of seeing their pre-
