These were the guests of honor and each of them upon being assured that they had been invited as such and not for any ad- dress they might make, expressed ap- preciation at not being called upon to talk
 Vice President Marshall particularly evinced pleasure when he learned that not even extemporaneous remarks were expected. He said that it afforded him full opportunity to enjoy the occasion and told the committee that he owed the individual members a debt of grati- tude

RICH ID BEAR
 MAJOR SHARE
 OF THE TAXES
Poor Are Too Heavily Taxed According to Brief Filed in Supreme Court. Incomes of Rich Are to Bear Their Share
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Heavier taxation on big incomes as a relict from the "disproportionate share Of the governmental support borne by the poor under the indirect taxation, was defended by the government in a brief filed in the supreme cOm in pending income cases. The or dinarv system of indirect taxation and consumption places dispropor- tionate share of the burden of gov ernment support upon the poor, says the brief, in replying to a charge of discrimination in making an addi- tionaI sur-tax on incomes of over s20.O0O. Congress has deterfnineG that a heavier burden can be carried more easily by those with larger income''
 In answering the contention that the sixteenth amendment to the constitution still required income taxes to be uniform, the brief urges that the uniformity rule is limited to excise taxes and does not reach the direct taxes. The government contends that congress has the rec ognized power to make classified tions, so long as they are not un
 
 functions. The exemption of persons from taxation for the first s3OO0 and the taxation of all incomes of cor porations are justified upon the ground that corporations are not personal family expenses, while the total loss of the means of support of a family by an individual re- suits in more public charges.
 Complaints made of discrimination against holding companies by requir- ing corporations a1 ] not individuals to pay tax on the corporate divi- dends, was met with the statement that there is greater difference between individuals and holding companies than between individuals and active corporations, and that the court upheld the distinction in the latter instance of the corporation tax cases
 The collections of additional tax from individuals and not from cor porations was defended as avoiding

 Mr. Myers. who has entered no conferences or discussions whatever with any of the several parties di- rectly interested in the strike was in the office of the governor prac- tically all yesterday morning, read ing the administration's reports and files of correspondence relating to the strike. He will continue his perusal of documentary sidelights, until he has thoroughly familiarized himself with the peculiar four handed game in which the interests are now Involved. But, as a matter of necessity, he is not able to go into direct conferences with any of the parties among whom he may be called upon later to act as a pro- moter of friendly relations.
 Governor Hunt yesterday added to his stock of correspondence anent the strike. the depositions of twenty two persons from Morenci. stating to Major Donkersley and the under sheriff, who collected them, that they did not regard it likely there would be disorders in Morenci. nor that troops would be required to pacify that section of the district.

He started the attack owing to the vigilance of aero planes which were guarding the bal loon, moored fifteen miles behind the German lines, it required four attempts before the lieutenant arose above it. On the fourth he swooped down from a height of ten thousand feet and placed missiles very accurately before the bal loon was hauled down.

Vice President Says Does Not Believe President Made Statement Credited to Him In Coast Paper Yesterday
NO GOODNESS
 BETWEEN THEM
Expressed Himself as for the president for Re nomination and for Con- vention to Nominate the Vice President

That President Wilson credited with saying he did not want Vice President Marshall for a running mate in the nineteen sixteen election did not make the statement is the belief of MT. Marshall.
 An exclusive dispatch" published in a coast paper to that effect is looked upon as absurd and ridiculous by the vice president who said yesterday that he was confident that the president did not say any such thing. In the Wash ington dispatch MT. Wilson is quoted as saying it is "unlucky to run same team twice while the author of the message insinuates that there is marked coldness between the president and vice president. "The real reason being according to the report, is that MT. Marshall refused to stand hitched on several administration measures, notably the rivers and harbors bill"
 That the latest word from the capi- tai is merely the invention of repor- ter is MT. MarshalPs opinion.
 T don't believe the president said any such thing" he said yesterday. My attitude is well known. I never was a candidate for any office in my life. I am for the president for renom- ination and for the convention to nom- mate the vice president. If there is any coolness between the president of the United States and myself l have never observed it. There has never been 2 suggestion that I was not heartily in favor of his policies"
 Congressman Carl Hayden is also of the belief that the statement issued from Washington was unauthorized by the president.
 T do not believe it. he declared en- phatically.
 The general impression in Washing ton is that the relations existing be- tween the chief executive and the vice president are most friendly The dis patch in all probability originated from some one interested in rivers -harbors legislation The president did not feel badly that it failed in passage. He was indifferent just as the vice presi- dent was. That could not have been the cause of any coldness.
 In commenting upon the presidents statement, the eastern correspondent devOteS no little space nor few adjec- tives to the popularity of MT. and Mrs. Marshall in Washington. He already has the city in deep mourning over the departure of the presiding officer of the senate and his charming wife.

 CLIFTON, Oct 12.-In accordance with the demand of the mine man. agers and the advice of Sheriff Cash and Governor Hunt, another com mittee of five strikers will be ap- pointed to go to Fl Paso. The first committee arrived this afternoon without Sheriff Cash or Adjutant General Harris. Almost simultaneous ly came wires from the sheriff and the governor urging the strikers to make the new concession as evidence of a sincere desire to reach a settle ment.
 On receipt of the news from Fl Paso today several members of the executive committee of the strikers said they were not disappointed They admitted they would have been greatly pleased if the, conferees had accomplished anything, but expected that the companies were doing noth- ing but sparring for time. Several expressed decided opposition to send ing another committee. change of sentiment became evident after the receipt of the messages from Cover nor Hunt and Sheriff Cash
 Some anxiety was felt today that the unfaTorabie news might cause trouble to blaze forth. Leaders re- mained supremely confident of their ability to control the situation They declared the strikers could hold out for full month without feeling the pinch of poverty.
 The executive committee this af- ternoon appointed a press committee through which all news and state ments from the strikers side of the controversy must come
 J. G. Cooper. purchasing agent of the Arizona Copper company, next in authority under the managere this afternoon predicted an early end ,t the strike if the strikers would send an acceptable committee He ex- pressed the opinion that the first conference committee sent to Fl Paso was not representative of the men. He said he understood that many former employees were ready to re- turn to work but were afraid
 He refused to say whether the mine managers would guarantee the strike leaders against discharge. He denied the charge of the strikers of discriminat ation between employees saying if one man was paid more than another it was because he did more or better work. The average Mexican laborer is far less efficient than the average American. he said
 In reply to a direct question he said that if the companies were forced to pay the same wages to Mexieans as to Americans this might ultimately result in practically the entire elimination of the Mexicans

Colonel Roosevelt Says No Other Kind Can Fight the Battles of America, Either in War or in Peace
TEACH ENGLISH
 TO IMMIGRANTS
Says It Is Duty of Immi- grants to Learn English and Duty of America to Provide Means for Them to Do So
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHl

NEW YORK, oct. 12.-"A foreig q born population must be an Ameri- canized population-no other kind can fight the battles of America, either in war or peace" Colonel Theodore Roosevelt asserted in a speech on "Americanism7 before the Knights of Columbus in Carnegie Hail tonight. He said that at the outset it was the duty of immigrants to learn English and that it is q duty of America to provide them with means of learning English. He suggested adopting a military system similar to that of the Swiss.
 If an immigrant is not fit to be, come an American citizen he should not be allowed to come here the colonel said. If he is fit he should be given all the rights to earn his own living and better himself that any can have"
 Colonel Roosevelt said just as democratic America realized that the church and state should separate, and that there should be no distinction in religious creeds in public office so there should be no distinction in nationality.
 There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americans" he de cIared. When 1 refer to hyphenated Americans. I do not refer to natural ized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I know are natural lzed Americans - Americans; born abroad. But the hyphenated Ameri- can is not an American at all"

Carranza Moving North


 TAMPICO. Mex, Oct. 12. (Delayed) -Carranza expected to arrive here to- morrow. General Obregon is here to meet him, and conduct him on an excursion through the northern states Obregon, who had not beeh advised officially of the recognition of Car ranza, hesitated in commenting to any great extent on the subject on that account. He did express pleasure however, adding that it would con- tribute materially toward the pacifi- cation of the country
 "The men fighting with Villa will welcome the news" he said. The men will abandon him and his fight. They are tired of fighting for him. Two of his strongest men, two whom we learned to regard as his most dan gerous, Miguel Diaz Lombardo and Felipe Angeles, have already deserted him and are in the United States
 Gen. Obregon has brought here a considerable force of his Yaqui sol diers, and tomorrow, General Ma farrate with a large part of the men who have been on the border near Matamoras, is due to arrive.
 It was suggested to Obregon that the recognition of Carranza would go far toward dissipating the fear of intervention.
 "No,' he replied, because, in my opinion, there never has been any great danger of intervention by the United States, nor had they any justi- fication for intervention, and for that reason I say recognition has not dis sipated that fear
