DENIES TAX HAS been
IMPOSED UPON CLERGY
Mexican Governor Explains
Duty Levied Upon Mon
terey Merchants

Ell Paso, Tex, March 22.-General
Raoul Madero. governor of Nuevo
Leon, Mexico yesterday, addressed
the following communication to
Enrique Llorente Villa, agent at
Washington, relative to the tax inn
posed upon the merchants of Mont
Grey, the imposition of which has
caused a protest from the British gov
eminent.
In view OF the alarming increase
of prices on prime necessities which
placed the poor people in a serious
condition, General Villa called to-
gether the Monterey merchants, who
by their immoderate speculation had
caused an exorbitant increase in
price of merchandise, and made them
comprehend the urgent necessity OF
remedying the critical situation they
themselves had created. He indi-
Gated to them the convenience OF
subscribing one million pesos to help
the needy people.
THE Mexican merchants agreed at
once and the foreigners present when
asked directly and individually by
General Villa, also expressed their
Willingness to cooperate i'm this
benefcent idea; therefore, all YER
sions made regarding a forced loan
are baseless. as the board of trade it
self has made the apportionment of
the subscriptions in an negotiable
manner to all merchants.
lit is false that tax has been
imposed upon clergy"
Washisgton, Mar. 22.-General Villa
at Monterey has explained to the
American consul there, Secretary
Bryan today announces that the pur-
pose of his tax on foreigners and
others, was for the relief of the des-
titute and poor.
In consideration of the relief rem
dered by the American Red Cross
Americans were not taxed.

INCREASE IN OUTPUT
OF WAR MATERIAL
Urged by David Lloyd George, Who
Advocates the Establishment Of a
Labor Advisory Committee.

London, March %, GAO a. NJ
David Lloyd George, chancellor of the
exchequer, placed grave emphasis
upon the immediate necessity for a
tremendous increase in the output Of
war material in an interview granted
by him to a representative of the
Daily Citizen. He dwelt also upon
the dramatic change which had come
over great industrial relations as re-
suit of the war and the value of con-
fidence between labor and the state
The esta blishment of a labor adj
visory committee was regarded by Mr.
Lloyd George as step which may
have almost incalculable results. He
believed that was the first time such
thing had been done in any country,
and said: ut amounts to this: There
Is opening up a great new factor liz
the history of labor. If labor ap
proaches this thing in q broad and
generous spirit and not in a haggling
spirit this document which was signed
on Friday ought to be great chap
ter for labor
The next step will be the organize
ton of all our resources for the pro-
duction of munitions of war and with
out such an agreement this would
nave been impossible. This country
would inevitably be deprived of vic
tory in the war if labor had failed us.
IT by any mischance Germany should
win 1t would be the gloomiest day that
ever dawned for labor and if this ex-
pertinent fails l can imagine nothing
more fatal to collectvist deals in the
future because the British people are
essentially people who act on exam
pie and experiment rather than on
argument"

SANTA CLARA STOPPED
BY, SHOT ACROSS BOWS
Mistake in Interpretation of
Signals Causes Dolphin
to Open Fire.

New York, March 22.-The Ameri-
can steamer Santa Clara, outward
bound, was stopped today by a shot
fred across her bows in the lower
harbor by the despatch boat Dolphin,
stationed there to watch outgoing
steamers and preserve American
netrality at this port
A mistake in the Interpretation Of
signals and the failure Of the Santa
Clara to stop brought the Dolphin s
guns to bear upon her. She was
promptly released and proceeded.
The Santa Clara cleared Saturday
for Havana. AS she was passing
quarantine today she displayed signal
letters spelling out her name. The
Dolphin's lookout apparently thought
she had hoisted wrong letters and a
shot was fired to halt her.
AS soon as the Santa Clara stopped,
a navy tug ran alongside and after a
lew moments conversation with the
steamers captain, she was permitted
TO continue on her way.

ALLEGED FIREBUG
DIES AT NEW HAVEN
Coroner MIX Instructs Medical Exam
iner to Perform Autopsy on Body
of Arthur Roscn OF jersey City.

New Haven, March 22.-Arthu1
Rosen of Jersey City, N. j., died early
today at the hospital here, where
he was brought suffering from
burns about two weeks ago
when a nearly finished apartment
block on Lake Place was destroyed
by fire. Rosen, soon after being
taken to the hospital, was arrested
on a charge Of having set the fire
and had been under police guard since.
He was about 80 years old.
The medical examiner, DR.. Scarbor-
ough, has withheld announcement of
the cause of Rosen's death. Coroner
Mix was summoned to the bedside Of
the dying man at $50 a. M, and Sc
cured an ante-mortem statement.
The coroner states that he will prob
ably hold an inquest into Rosen's
death and has instructed DR.. Scar
borough to make an autopsy on the
body, which will be done later in the
day.
Investigation, the police say, showed
that two other adjoining houses had
been prepared for burning, and Sam
uel Ruderman, owner Of the build
ings, was arrested on a charge of ar
SON. He is now in jail in default
Of $4,000 bonds.
The police, after being told of
Kosen's death, said that it would not
in their opinion, affect the case which
they have brought against Ruderman.
1t may expedite the latter's hearing,
which stands continued until April, the
exact date having been made contin-
gent upon Rosen's recovery. In the
meantime the police have been scru-
timing Ruderman's business affairs.
They say that both Ruderman and
Rosen went to Norwalk occasionally,
and while they know nothing about
the Wolk and Moeller cases there, in
which the charges are those Of arson,
they express curiosity in what evil
dence will be brought out against
those two men. The New Haven
police have nothing to indicate that
either Rosen or Ruderman knew Wolk
and Moeller.
Fire Marshal Perkins has stated that
when the Ruderman case has it's
hearing he will make public some de-
tails Of the arrangements made to
burn the three apartment houses in
Lake Place.
