Washington. April 3.-With tie hope

to the proposal and are willing to
eyacuate the city as Don as a similar
agreement is arranged with the Car

negotiated with.

On General Carranza also depends

tween Mexico City and Vera Cruz shall
succeed, as the Villa-Zapata officials
have likewise given their assent to
this proposal. The plan. with respect
to Mexico City, contemplates an ar
rangement whereby order would be
maintained there by a local council
made up of prominent residents, Sc.
lected by mutual agreement between
the opposing factions. The capital would
not then. under the terms OF the agree

nor would there be any more changes
in government until a central govern

Prominent Persons From All Parts Of

prominent persons from all parts of

to Quarto SAINT Elena to attend the
dedication of the monument erected in
honor of Garibaldi and his famous

town in Sardinia on the expedition
which resulted in the annexation of
Sicily by Italy.
These ceremonies, which it was an
nounced at the eleventh hour King Vic

Cabinet would not attend because they
were unable to leave Rome in view of
the gravity of the international situa-
ton, have been regarded as of peculiar

APPEAL FROM DECISION ON
Anthracite COAL TAX Law
Companies Affected BY Judge Kunkel's
Ruling Give Notice That They
Will Garry the Case to the State
Supreme Court

Appeals from the decision of the
Dauphin county court which has held
to be constitutional and valid the an
thracite coal tax law which requires
mining companies to pay to the State
IL per cent. per ton on all hard
coal mined, were filed last evening with
William V. Pearson, local Prothono-
tary of the State Supreme Court.
The coal companies affected by this
act are attacking it on the contention
that it is classed legislation. 4. Much in
terest is being manifested in the case
in view of the fact that tax it already
has caused to be levied totals no less
than $6,OOO,000. Lawyers representing
the appellant companies this morning
announced that it will be impossible
to prepare the case in time to be
argued at the next Harrisburg session
of the Supreme Court, which will be
held during the week beginning May
22.
They also announced that no at
tempt will be made to argue the case
at the Philadelphia term in July, since
that court session generally is made
brief because of the warm weather,
and the hearing will go over until the
Pittsburgh term, next October.
An appeal also was filed last even
ing in the proceedings against James
M. Roderick, chief of the State Mines
Bureau. This case involves the claims
of miners unions that the chief of the
mines bureau proposes to issue certifi-
Gates of mine foremen and assistant
foremen, to applicants, who it is con-
tended, cannot qualify under the law.
The court here declined to interfere
with the actions of Chief Roderick,
complaining that it is without legal
authority to do so.
