REFUSAL OF FOREIGNERS TO LEAvEI
MEXICO CITY REMOVES CHANCE &
RESUMINC TRAINS TO VERA CRU

Vera Cruz, April by their refusal to
leave Mexico City in spite Of the dangers
and inconvenience incidental to a civil
war; foreigners have removed what APP
parently was the only hope of a resump-
ton, even temporarily, of railway com
munication between the abandoned ca pital
and Vera Cruz. The Brazilian minister
has reported to John Il. Silliman, special
consular agent of the United States in
Mexico. that he has been unable to tind
enough Americans and other foreigners
wishing to leave Mexico to justify asking
for trains.
General CarranZa had told Mr.. Silliman
he was willing to provide adequate train
service to move out such foreigners as
desired to leave, but before he made any
arrangements he wanted to know how
many passengers there would be.
President Wilson's warning to Ameri-
can citizens to leave Mexico was pub
lished several weeks ago in the former
capital, but the attitude of virtually all
citizens of the United States who reside
there was that they preferred to remain
in Mexico City and take their chances
unless a plan for intervention was be-
hind the warning. They are now con-
WINGED that intervention is highly i'm
probable and have chosen to stay where
they are
Acting upon instructions from Wash
ington, Mr.. si,liman requested that a
tram be provided for the TRANSFORMATION
OF Red Cross supplies. The request was
granted but no supplies have arrived here

TAX TO
Be IMPOSED UPON THE
MORGAN COLLECTIONS

New York, April 1.-The art collec-
ton left by ]. P. Morgan is being ap.
praised and the inheritance tax upon
its value will be collected. according to
a statement issued by William Board
man. deputy state comptroller. The
statement follows:
The estate of J. P. Morgan has al
ready paid s2,5O0.000 on account of the
transfer tax. The special act which
was passed exempted from this tax any
part of Mr.. Morgan's art collection
that should be given to the city or
state within two years from his death.
That period has now elapsed and the
collection is being appraised and the
tax upon it's value will be collected.
The $2.500.000 already paid by the
estate Will pay the tax on approx
mately $50, 100000. If the total ap-
praised value Of the estate, including
the art collection. exceeds this amount
an additional tax will be collected. Il
the valuation is less than this amount
refund will be made to the estate.
Although the legal time limit of two
years within which ]. P. Morgan might
have escaped the necessity of paying
an inheritance tax upon his art col
lection by giving it to a public in
stitution had expired today, the Nor
gan estate had not signified to the
state comptroller its intention to make
such a disposition of the collection.
Comptroller Travis was quoted as
saying that while he would like to
grant an extension of the time limit,
the law prohibited the remission of the
inheritance tax on any gift made from
the collection after the expiration of
the legal limit
The Morgan collection, now on ex-
hibition in the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, has been estimated to be worth
between s45. 100000 and $4,000. 600. The
inheritance tax on it has been esti-
mated at from 100000 to $4,000, coo.
