From the tone of the replies of Obregon and
other Carranza Generals to the Pan-American pro-
posal for peace convention in Mexico, there is lit
tie hope of cooperation in that quarter. Should
Carranza follow their lead in rejecting the invita-
ton of the signatory republics, the acceptance
of the proposal by Villa and other leaders will offer
doubtful promises that way has been found to
end Mexicos troubles. If Carranza refuses to be
party to a peace convention, what then?

THE HONEST APPROPRIATIONS

It seems incongruous, to say the least, for
body of state officials worthy intent and
sworn duty includes looking after the interests of
their respective commonwealth, to pass resolutions
calling for methods which will promote honesty and
increase efficiency in government. Yet this is just
what has taken place in Salt Lake City at the meet
ing of the National Association of State Auditors
and Comptrollers Auditor J. C.. Calaghan, of Ari
iona, received immediate acclaim by drafting
resolution calling for reforms in the manner of pre-
without dissenting vote.
The necessity for making a special plea to en-
Joy the opportunity of acting honestly toward tax
payers, is generally recognized. Much of the work
of a state auditor is necessarily clerical. He
merely completes the auditing of appropriation
obeying the mandates of those who originate the
appropriations. But he is in position to see the
injustice forced upon taxpayers He is in position
to know that the taxpayers money is being spent
recklessly if not absolutely dishonesty. These
reckless expenditures; these morally dishonest bud
gets contrived to benefit politicians. So the
taxpayers are bled. Conditions eventually get
bad that the taxpayers rebel.
Rebellion is rife in Arizona well in other
bany administered states where machine politics exist
Cur taxpayers started the revolt when the shame
less tax levy revealed following the vetoing of
the legislatures appropriation bill. The revolt is
spreading to every section of the State. Auditor
Callaghan was well equipped to voice the sentiment
of ether observant officials. Here is the resolution
which he offered and which met with the unquali-
fed approval of his colleagues
Whereas, the practice of making open, annual
continuous, non-specifc and unlimited appropriations
is inconsistent with economy and contrary to the
theory and practice of accounting and leads to prod
gaty, extravaganza and waste of taxpayers money
and is therefore pernicous:
BE it resolved by the first annual convention
of state auditors and comptroers that the practice
be and is hereby emphatically and unreservedy
demned and that it be the of this convention
that an appropriation in the proper of the
term is a specific maximum sum of money and
no more set aside for specific purpose and
ofher; and that copy of this resolution be trans
nitted to the various legislatures in proper
season, urgently advising the elimination of the
old methods"

GARRANzA MAKING GOOD NOW
Washington Inclined to Lend First
Chief Its Important Support
Villa Nearly Done For.

Washington, July 15.-An accounts
from Mexico strengthened the convic-
ton here yesterday that General Car
rama will be recognized by the Wash
ington administration
Offcialdom admits that his course,
following his forces capture
Of the City of Mexico, has been an
agreeable surprise TO them. There
is no denial that some of his past
methods had led the administration
to doubt his availability for even tenn
porary control of Mexican affairs
With the fall Of the capital, how
mittedly was looked on here with the
highest favor Not only did he show
a disposition to restore order, but he
gave signs of ability to actually do it
That he should have some further
trouble with the Villa and Zapata ele-
ments was considered inevitable. Off
cial intimation was given that this
would not be deemed ground for with
holding recognition from him
By permitting him to import all the
arms and ammunition he needs and
shutting them OF from his enemies, 1t
was believed such differences could be
speedily terminated
His agency here continues to report
activity by General Villa between Leon
and ITapuato, but it is believed his
campaign is on its last legs
Messages from Vera Cruz say Gen
eral Carranza will inf1ict dire punish
ment, if he could catch them, on the
Zapatistas who killed Julian De La
Traz, a Swiss, the only foreigner who
lost his life during the evacuation Of
the City of Mexico.

dict of Sanity in Case of Stanford
Whites Slayer.

New York, July Hilary K. Thaw,
who shot and killed Stanford White
the night of June 26, 1906, left the

Justice Hendrick accepted the find
ing of the jury that declared Thaw
sane and Immediately after announc-
ing his decision admitted Thaw to
$4,000 bail

Thaw's obedience to any mandate of
the court until final disposition of the
appeal. The agent of the surety COM
pany said that the Thaw family had
deposited with the company negO-
table securities valued at 5000.
AS soon as the bond was signed,

SEES PLOT IN LABOR STRIKE
Head of Big Munitions Plant Says the

Quitting Their Work

Bridgeport, Conn, July IA dis
pute among labor unions has practical
" tied up construction work on the
Remington Arms Company's 102-acre
small arms plant and the new ammuni-
ton factory and threatens to stop the
entire output of ammunition Of war
from this city The completion OF the
new plants would make Bridgeport the
greatest center OF small arm manufac-
tuTe in the world
The structural ironworkers who
went out on the arms plant and in
the ammunition plant do not ask for
more pay; they do not ask for better
hours; they do not ask for improved
working conditions. The employers
are absolutely helpless, as the strike
has been called on account Of a fam
lily fight among the unions. Both sides
declare that they will not back down
Officials of the Remington company
blame the whole crisis upon German
sympathizers. Mai. Walter w Pen
field, U. S. A, retired, who left the
ordnance bureau in March to head the
arms company, said:
There is not a shadow of doubt
that this whole thing is the work Of
Germans or German sympathizers. In

is a part Of their game But it is time

TO EXPAND MINING COURSE
Engineering School at State Univer-
sIty to Pay More Attention to
Ore Work in Future.

Plans to broaden the scope of the
department OF mining engineering in
the University of Kansas have been
finished, according to an announce
ment by Dean P F. Walker of the
School of Engineering the other day.
An additional professor, Arthur c.
TerTin, from Columbia University, has
been added TO the departments
faculty. Professor TerrilI will have
charge of the courses in ore dressing
and mining. Heretofore the head of
the department of mining engineering
has had only the rank of associate
professor, but with the coming of Mr..
Terri1 the head will be full pro-
lessor
This step has been taken after the
decision of the board of administra-
tion several months ago that the work
in mining engineering had become SO
important that an enlargement of the
course was necessary said Dean
Walker The lead and zine indus
tries of Kansas are of great impor-
lance and since the beginning of the
war the demand for both these pro-
ducts has greatly increased. We in
tend to turn out graduates from this
department who will be able to go
into these mines and apply the most
economical and modern methods to
the mining and refining of the ores"

FOOD IN war ZONE
Ernest Bicknel of the Red Cross
Says Conditions Improve
Throughout Europe.
We ARE STILL FEEDING BELGIUM
Gift of America TO Stricken People
Represents More Than Twelve
Million Dollars Monthly.

Washington, July 16.-ETnest P
BickneIl, national director of the
American Red Cross, who has been
directing the Rockefeller Foundation
activities throughout the European
war zone, and returned here today,
says a German inventory of food sup
plies in Germany shows no shortage,
present or prospective; that in Servia,
where there is much restitution, there
is considera BILE food shortage, but con-
ditiOns are improving and the situa-
ton is encouraging generally through
out the war area.
In Belgium" said BickneI. every
man, woman and child of seven mil
lion has to be fed from supplies
brought in from other countries. About
one and a half million are unable 10
buy their supplies, but all others do
buy them under a systematic ar
rangement of distribution at low
prices.
Americans are supporting the Bel
gian people. Aside from receipts from
sales Of supplies, there is a deficiency
of twelve and half million dollars a
month in the work of distributing food
in Belgium. That really represents
the gift of the United States, except
for the small amounts of Canadian
and Australian wheat.
Poles won't Eat Corn Bread.
In Poland there are no outsiders en-
gagged in relief work. but there is a
large amount of food being sent in
Distribution to the needy people, Ger
man and Austrian military command
ers are supervising through local COM
mittees of the Polish people. This food
is coming only from Germany ang
Austria. The German government
agreed not to modest any food we
might send in and agreed to cooperate
in relief work. We then tried to buy
wheat in Holland, Denmark, Russia,
Sweden, Rumania and Bulgaria, but
could not get any. Bulgaria and Ru-
mania, by strict government prohibit
ton, are holding all their wheat, look
ing forward to the possibility of being
drawn into the war
Russia has a great deal of wheat,
but the supply is one thousand miles
in the interior. The Russian govern
Rent told us they could not release

corn and barley in Russia for Polish
relief, but the Polish people will not
east corn bread
Germany Has Plenty of Food.

food shortage or will have one, is de-
ceiving himself The German govern
ment has just made a complete inven-
tory and has found it has enough TO
