ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

WASHINGTON, April 3. - The United States government has re- newed it's representations to Carran- ga to obtain respect for foreign flags recently violated at Manzanillo, Task ing that he instruct his officers there to afford protection to foreigners and their interests. A separate com- munication was sent to Carranza calling his attention to the indiscrim- mate firing of his troops on the oil tanks in the vicinity of Tampico. over 15O,OOO barrels of oil already have been lost as a result of the perforation made by bullets peTetra.- ing the tanks.
 Conditions in the Tampico district gave the officials much concern. State department dispatches said the food situation at Tampico is growing worse and about 300 Ameri- cans are desirous of returning to the United States" Fighting still con- tinues at Ebano.
 Dispatches add that "oil operators are organizing for the purpose of
 
 local distribution which will be dis posed of at cost in order to relieve the situation. From Manzanillo and the city of Colima came reports of further lawlessness. In the first note sent to CarranZa's consular repre- sentative there was transmitted the statement that British and American flags have been violated by lawiess Caranza troops at Manzanillo. The facts were denied by Carranza, and additional facts now nave been laid before him at Vera Cruz witE refer ence to the request made in the first communication. To this no re- ply has been received

manager, which bred discord and hatred and spite until it culminated in the farce which has been running on the public stage during the past few weeks.
 To throw up the full control sys- tenn now would be at par with the greenhorn who bought half grown shoat and asked how much corn it would take to fatten him. The far mer replied that by the time he ha1 fed the pig five bushels of corn he would be fat enough to kill so he fed him five bushels that night and killed him the next forenoon.
 So far as MT. Parish is concerned I have nothing to offer but this--- that after reading all the evidence in the case I think great deal more of him than when the trial began.
 Perhaps it is true that he made some mistakes. but who doesn't make mistakes? 1 have bgrave doubts of the ability of any man on earth to manage this, or any other city for year to suit all the peopie all tle llHle, or any Srel- majority of the people at any time. Certainly a manager whose every ac- tion is subject to review by the commission, and whose job depends upon how well he pleases the mem- bers of the board would be the sor- riest figurehead on earth and about as useful to the city as a look, Ing glass is to a blind man.
 Now is a good time to show a lit- tie patriotism and common horse sense. Select commission. tho l members of which are in harmony

 This is a we'll laid plan to overturn the expressed will of the people and revert back te the old way, without any remunerative benefit For if these carry the office of the city manager will be reduced to the level of city foreman working under the commission, and worth about $500 or 5000 per year at cost to the people of s5000 per year. bright idea truly.
 Someone has said that some of the minor amendments are good ones and ought to carry, but to be sure you get vote no on all of them.
 One word as to the charge of incom- potency preferred against Manager Parish. To my mind it appears to have been sustained on one point, and I followed this farce called a trial very closely, and that was, he either did not know how to play politics or he would not do so. But we do not want city manager to play politics, especially or a salary Of 5000 per year. We can ge plenty of perfectly good politicians much cheaper than that.
 We want a manager to give us business administration free from graf or politics, and that is just what Man ager did until he was fired. If it wal put up to the citizens of Phoenix on { straight proposition of sustaining hi administration or the action of the cit. commission. he would win out by ; vote of at least three to one.

Governor Hunt Summons Solons to Capital to Fin ish Work Left Undone at Regular Session of Leg islature
ONLY TWO SUBJECTS
 MENTIONED IN GALE
General Appropriations and Tax Levy Must Be Pro- vided for-No Chance for Legislation Along Other Lines

The governors proclamation, calling the legislature to convene in special session on Friday, April 23, was issued yesterday afternoon. only two sub jects are mentioned in the call, the passage of general appropriation bill, and fixing the rates and pro- viding for the levy of taxes for the next two years Under the definition of the constitution the general appro- priation bill is only to provide money for the different departments of the state, for state institutions, for public schools and for the interest cn the public debt. This, it is pointed out, would include the state land commis- sion, or of the need of a state land policy, of which no special mention is made in the governors call. Gov ernor Hunt also refrained from any reference to the law providing for the semi annual payment of taxes, indi- eating that he did not intend to leave a single loophole by which the legis- lature might return to the subject of mine tax legislation.
 The governors proclamation fol- lows:
 A PROCLAMATION Executive Department State Of Arizona Whereas, the second state legisla- ture, in regular session convened on January 11th, 1915, took final ad- | journment, at the expiration of the sixty days period allowed by law, without having passed general ap- propriations bill providing money for the different state departments, in- stitutions, public schools, and for the interest on the public debt; Whereas, the funds set aside by the 1 first state legislature for the use of state departments and institutions will

TWO SCORE RIDERS IN
 M. |. RACE
Barney Oldfield to Drive Pace Car Starting Big gest Field of Single Track Speeders at Venice To- day
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

VENICE, April 3.-Barney Oldfield is to officiate as starter of the Venice in- ternational motorcycle grand priX. There are to be g machines in line at the start and Referee Charles Fuller Gates, has selected Oldfield to assist Starter Geo. Adair
 It will be necessary to pace the field once around the course with fast au- tomoble, from which the starter ian keep the riders lined up for the dash across the line. As the riders wear head helmets which deafen them to the popping of their machines and could not hear the motorcycles behind them it would be almost impossible to keep the rows of riders in position.
 With Oldfield driving, Adair will sig nal the men in their positions on the
 pace lap and at the line, drop the red
 flag, giving the machines the getaway.
 At the pits ahead of the motorcycles, Oldf1eld will drive the automobile out of the ways of the riders, giving the machines the right of way in battle for the purse.
 Today's practice at Venice was full of thrills for larger fields and closer brushes than at any time previous Dutch Myers and Glen Stokes had a couple of scraps while going seventy miles an hour negotiating for positions and both Tobey and Sexton had falls while going at high speed.

Germans Sending Troops to Support Austrians, Who Are Hard Pressed by the Russians in Passes of the Calpathians
STRENGTHENING
 EASTERN FRONT
According to Dispatches from Holland Germans Are Again Sending Men from Belgium to the East crn Front
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCHl

LONDON. April 3-The Germans are pouring endorsements into Hun gary to support the Austrian armies which are being hard pressed by the Russians in the passes of the Carpa- thians, also according to dispatches from Holland they are again sending men from Belgium to strengthen the eastern front, where the Russians have taken the offensive. The battle in the Carpathians continues day and night. The Russians, continually reinforced, are making desperate efforts to force through Uzsok and LupkoW passes, upon the success of these operations
 their army, which is on the Hungarian
 side of Dulka, is waiting before con-
 tinuing it's advance German subma-
 rines continue their activities, todays
 score being one British steamer, the
 Lockwood and a French fishing smack
 bound for New Foundland. With the return of calmer weather it is expected
 the airmen will soon become more ac-
 tive. reports of proposed Zeppelin raids
 on England are being revived.
 Seemingly the Russians had consid-
 erable for official reports announce the repulse of Austrian attacks near Me zolaboreZ, due south of the LupkoW pass and west of the UZsok pass. There is continued progress in the region of
 the latter pass and west of the UZsok pass. despite the stubborn resistance of the Austrians. On Thursday the
 Russians claim to have taken prisoner 100 officers, 1000 men and to have cap tured ten machine guns.
 Austrian correspondents view this
 onslaught with misgiving and in their
 dispatches give it precedence over the battle of Bukowina, where the Aus trians a few days ago took the Offen- sive, penetrating into Bessarabia, but since, according to Russian reports, have been defeated.
 There is no change in Poland, but the movement of German troops from Belgium eastward indicates their gen. eral staff is uneasy over the activity of | the Russians along the East Prussian | frontier and in the central portion of | the old kingdom. Having fortified the i whole of Belgium and recently opened 1 the sluices extending the floods in ! Flanders. it is possible they feel secure
 or do not anticipate the allies will
 make their effort for some weeks yet
