WOOL Importers MUST
PAY PART OF U. S. COST
President Considering Placing Small
Duty on Product to Meet Rev.
enues of Government.

1t became known yesterday that
President Wilson is considering the
advisa bility of placing small duty
on wool as means of raising the
revenues necessary to meet the ex-
penses of the government next year.
It was reported that the President
contemplated recommending the removal
of wool from the free list in the same
message in which he asked for the sus-
pension OF that provision Of the Under
wood tariff law which would place sugar
on the free list May J.
Members of Congress have been in
formed that Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo Is inclined to favor this plan.
and that he has urged this course upon
the President From the source Of this
information ii is learned. however. that
the plans with respect to Schedule K are
designed to meet the ordinary needs Of
the government and will not interfere
with the plan for bond issue to defray
the increased expenditures for national
defense.
The inclination to ask for a duty on
wool is only tentative, however, and the
matter will be subject for future con-
ferences between the President and the
administration officials before decision
is reached Few members OF Congress
have been sounded out as yet, but there
are no good grounds for believing that
Congress will assent to the Presidents S
suggestion should he deem the step nee
esSary.

FRESH ISSUE RAISED
BY ORDER OF VILLA
His Decision to Operate American
owned Mines Complicates Rela-
tions with Mexico.

A new issue has been raised between
the United States and Villa by the lat
ter's announced determine ton TO operate
American-owned mining properties in
territory under his control.
The news that the American Smelling
and Refining Company had been ordered
to resume operations at its Chihuahua
properties by today was followed yester-
DAY by an announcement from the Villa
agency here that all such properties
would be taken over by the governor of
Chihuahua and operated for the benefit
of the thousands of Mexican workmen
thrown into idleness by the shutting
down OF the plants.
The State Department has already pro-
tested to Villa against this order to the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany. That the matter would also be
taken up with Carranza was asserted at
the department yesterday following the
call of William Loeb. jr., representing
the company. which is a Guggenheim
concern. Mr.. Loeb presented the case to
Counselor Polk. and was assured that
the State Department would do all in its
power to obtain full respect for the rights
, of the company.
The Villa agency announcement denies
that the action taken against the mining
properties is a reprisal against the Sc
lection of Carranza for recognition by
the United States. asserting that the step
was decided on before the action of the
pan-American conference.
The State Department yesterday denied
reports that an embargo on the eXporta-
ton OF arms from the United States to
Villa territory in Mexico had been i'm
posed. II was stated that the situation
in this regard has not changed.
The Carranza agency issued a state
ment saying that the withdrawal Of the
American Red Cross from relief work in
Mexico City and vicinity had been well
coined by the people Of the capital 1t
is also stated that the Carranza govern
ment has such a satisfactory organiZa-
ton for distributing relief to the needy
that there is now no suffering from want
OF food.

President Wilson Asked to Settle
Controversy Over Dumping Of Dirt

A fine old-fashioned contractors row
which started in an innocent fashion has
progressed to such an extent that the
President of the United States has been
appealed to to settle it. And mixed up
in il are two Cabinet officers, Secretaries
McAdoo and Garrison, and a score of
lesser individuals.
The row is between the Fuller Con-
struction Company. which is building the
Lincoln Memorial. and the John II. Park
er Company. of New York, constructors
of the s25O0.Oo0 Interior Department edi-
fee. It all hinges on the disposal Of
pile of earth excavated from the Interior
site.
The Lincoln Memorial plans provide for
an extensive earth plateau as a base
for the editice. The Parker company had
plenty OF earth to dispose of and were
willing that the Fuller company should
have it. But the latter insisted that, as
they were accommodating the Parker
concern by permitting them to dump the

pense of leveling it should be borne by
that company. Col. Harts, superintend-
ent of Public Building and Grounds, was
dragged into the controversy and ordered
the Parker company to level the dirt as
fast as 1t was dumped
The Fuller company had an office on
the memorial site which the Parker men
claimed was in their way. The former
would not remove it. so the latter slip
ped in in the night and hoisted the office
on stills and filled in under it. Col. Har;
sent an officer with a level fixed on a tri-
pod with instructions that the dump pile
should not go above a certain height.
Somebody fixed the tripod four feet
higher when the officer wasn't looking.
