WOULD DELAY REFRIGERATION
 IF VERA CRUZ
Funston Urges That Time Be Given Americans to Get Out of the
 Country

Vera Cruz. September 16.--American forces will not be withdrawn from Vera Cruz before october 10 if the war department at Washington accepts the suggestion of Brigadier General Fun ston, who today recommended that steps incident to the evacuation of the city be taken without undue haste.
 Perhaps the chief consideration of General Funston in recommending this date, it is believed. was a desire to give the thousands of Mexican refugees here opportunity to leave the country. About 300 priests, 200 nuns, a dozen generals of the old army and scores of officers of lower rank are among those who sought safety within the American lines. By far the greater part of the fugitive colony, however, are men and women of all stations in life, whose names in most cases had been on Huerta's government books.
 Steamship booking offices have been visited by large numbers of Mexicans anxiously inquiring as to sailing dates. Not many steamers are putting into Vera Cruz these days and it might be impossible for all who so desire to get away for a considerable time, even in cases where the applicant has money.
 Many cablegrams have been sent by Mexicans and Americans, either direct to United States government officials or officials at Washington, begging them to ask the President not to insist OF a too hasty withdrawal of the troops.

FLORENCE CAFE
 DELIGHTS GUESTS
Decorations Are Very Artistic and Orchestra Is Excellent-Newspaper
 Men Entertained by Hobart

From the opening of the new Florence cafe yesterday morning until it's close last night, it was crowded with delighted guests who not only freely expressed admiration for the artistic beauty of it's appointments, but extended congratula- tions to the management for the excel lent cuisine and efficiency of service.
 The main dining room has been com pletely remodeled and every convenience for the comfort and pleasure of the patrons has been installed. The decora- tons are an artistic triumph. every de- tail being in harmony with the general color scheme of cream and green. and are brought out to good effect by the soft though brilliant ligts. The wall panels are reproductions of many of the old masters and are in perfect keeping with the decorative effect of the room.
 The Indian room is much the same as formerly but has been renovated and is probably more attractive than before the cafe was closed for repairs. It was still the most popular part of the cafe.
 Professor Klenk, acknowledged to be one of the best musicians of the city, has associated with him four other art ists and their selections added much to the pleasure of the patrons.
 T. Leonard Hobart, manager, states that the policy of the cafe will be to maintain the high standard that it has always enjoyed for serving the best the market affords, with the best service possible and at reasonable prices.
 Last night party of newspaper men were entertained by MT. Hobart at a dinner in the Indian room. The following were present: James J. Smith, A. B. Shivers w. M. Clemens, B. H. Mooney, Tom Heflin, Robert Murphy Ed Norman, J. J. Eaton, o. s. Finch, R. F. Lussier and c. H. Mandy.

FREIGHT RULING
 FAVORS RAILWAYS Held Road Not Taxable for Freight Transactions of
 Station Agents

Montgomery, September 16.-(Spe- cial. .)-The state tax commission late today ruled that freight nsactions or station agents do not subject rail- roads to taxation under the solvent credits law. 1t was tonight announced by Henry P. White. associate member Of the commission. It was also held that railroads cannot be taxed under this law on charges against each other on through freight shipments, 1t being the sense of the commission that the collecting agent is in effect the agent of all roads over which the shipment passed.
 Both of these rulings were approved later by Attorney General Brickell. They were made by the commission aft- CT a series of hearings during which much testimoi,y was taken and num- erous legal representatives of Alabama roads appeared. Members of the com mission emphasized the point that these rulings should not be construed as meaning that railroads are not subject to taxation under the solvent credits laws, but simply that they did not ap- pear legally taxable in these special instances. both of which involve cash transactions to all intents and pur- poses.

 While this fighting is going on on land the British navy has not been idle. It is learned that the German cruiser Hela. which yesterday was reported from Ser lin to have been sunk, was attacked six miles from Helgoland by British sub marine. commanded by Lieutenant Com- mander Max K.

 Whether she was accompanied by other submarines has not been disclosed in the admiralty report, but as these vessels usually travel in squadrons accompanied by cruiser, il is probable the E-9 the vessel which torpedoed the Hela was not alone.
 Small warships which have been patroi- ling the North sea have been having a rough time of it, as they have just come through a 4s-hour gale. For the big ships this is nothing but the torpedo boats and particularly the submarines are not comfortable in this kind of weather.

Russians in Difficulty

Meantime the Russian general, Rennen- kampff, who, according to Russian re- ports invaded East Prussia to compel the Germans to withdraw troops from the west and thus relieve pressure on the allies. is having some difficulty in e,Stri- eating his army from a difficult posi- tion. He has been compelled to fall back to fortresses on his own frontier where he is waiting for the Germans under General von Hindenburg. whom some re- ports say the German Emperor has joined
 The opinion is held that the Germans plan some bold stroke against Rennen- kampff before the troops which have been engaged in Galicia can reach him. 1t is pointed out, however, that 1t would be a bold stroke indeed for the Ger mans to attack the Russian forts on the frontier or invade country that with in few weeks will be marsh, and later a snow covered wilderness.

test has bitten to the quick. This time the two
sets 20 to Mclaughlin and Behr.
We have seen three of the four members OF
the American team in action. Yet somehow the
impression remains that only two of the three
have really been in action. The third, the gen
tleman with the Celtic countenance, seems the
least active of all the players-more the player
of the role of arbiter. 1t is he who gives a
finishing touch, who caps the climax when the
climax needs to be put to bed He 1t is who
locks the house and puts out the light. And
he does it with Undesirable imperturbability.
