IMPORTANT ISSUE
 IN HIGHER COURT
Involves Right of Second Class Cities to Assess by Ordinance Privilege Tax Against Vari- Ous Business Interests.

Little Rock, April 25.-Most im- portant issues, to cities of the first and second classes in Arkansas de- pend upon the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Chas. Laprairie, appealed from Garland county. It in- wolves the right of the city of Hot Springs to assess by ordinance, a privilege tax against various business interests, as means of raising reve- nue. A similar ordinance is in effect in Little Rock and several other places. The Garland county case at tacks the constitutionality of the tax.
 Monday the Supreme Court granted Ia restraining order against the Hot Springs authorities, from the enforce ment of the tax until May 1. After ward Davis & Davis, counsel for the appellants, and James Mcconnell, for the city, filed with the court an agree ment to advance the case as a matter of public interest. The restraining order, granted to give the court an opportunity to investigate as to that point, will probably be extended next Monday, pending the hearing of the ease. It will be advanced and set for a hearing two or three weeks there after, and in the meantime, the city of Little Rock or any other interested party, will be given an opportunity to file brief in the case.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.

Deming, N. M., April 24.-The seven Villa bandits captured after the raid on Columbus and convicted of murder in the first degree, were condemned to death today by Judge Edwin L. Medler. The date of the execution was set for May 19. The prisoners pleaded that they were ig- norant of where they were going at the time of the raid and they were forced to follow Villa under penalty of death.
 Six of the bandits listened unmoved as the sentence of death was pro- nounced, but the seventh, Jose Ran gel, who had been wounded in the raid and was carried into court on a cot, cried piteously for mercy. Judge Medley ordered the prisoners to the Santa Fe penitentiary for safe keep ing. Only few persons were pres ent when sentence was pronounced, and there was no demonstration. The names of the other six are Juan San chez, Eusebio Renteria, Taurino Gar cia, Jose Rodriguez, Francisco AL varez and Juan Castillo.

General Scott is fully advised as to the attitude of the administration toward Mexico in general and toward the question of withdrawal of the American troops. He will be able to present to General Obregon the reasons behind every move that has been made and give him personal as surance that President Wilson and his advisers have no thought of do- ing more than protecting American interests along the border from Mex ican bandit operations.
 Pending the conference any any eff feet it may have General Funston will carry out his plans for readjusting his lines in Mexico so as to make the position of his troops secure for a stay of any length.
 Secretary Baker reiterated today that the authorization gave General Funston full discretion.

in the United tSates increased on an
average of | per cent from Feb. 10 to
March Is last. Figures made public this
week by the department OF labor show
that all meat prices increased, as did the
price of sugar. Eggs, milk, flour and po-
tatoes We're cheaper.
Prices advanced s per cent during the
year. from March, 1915, to March, 1910,

POSTAL SAVINGS DEPOSIT
LIMIT RAISED TO $1,000
AMENDED LAW NOW IN OPERATION
AT DENVER POSTOFFICE.
Postmaster Stapleton Announces That
Many Former Restrictions Have
Been Removed

Postmaster Stapleton has just been
advised of the approval by the president
of the postoffice appropriation act for
the fiscal year commencing July l, 1916.
One of the most important features in
the bill is an amendment to the postal
savings act, authorizing the acceptancc
of larger postal savings deposits.
A postal savings depositor may now
have an account amounting to $1,000
upon which interest will be paid. For
merly $500 was the maximum amount he
could have to his credit. This enlarge
ment of postal savings facilities will be
very gratifying to thousands OF depos-
itors who have already reached the old
$500 limit. and are anxious to entrust
more of their savings to Uncle Sam.
Another feature OF the amendment
that will avoid further embarrassment to
the public and to postal Officials, is the
doing away with the limit on the amount
that could be accepted from depositor
monthly. Under the old law only 800
could be deposited in calendar month.
The amendment abolishes this restriction.
While the postal savings system has
always proved sigfinal success, as is
shown by the fact that more than half a
million depositors have over SS0,OOO,OO
standing to their credit, still it has fallen
short of meeting the full demands of the
public because of the restrictions, which
have now been eliminated.
Postmaster General Burleson and Third
Assistant Postmaster General Dockery
have been tireless in their eforts to Sc
cure a modification of the limitations,
and the new liberalizing legislation is
particularly gratifying to them.

Forced laughter at Henry Ford is no
longer in order in militarist circles. He
has compelled the Navy League to bring
suit against him. That alone is a
victory which is well worth while. The
suit is based on quotations from Cong
ressman Tavenner's speech. Congressman
Tavenner long ago introduced a resolu-
tion for Congressional investigation
which his militarist colleagues have not
seen fit to let come to a vote. The suit
gives the opportunity which militarist
Congressman have denied.
