President Not Consulted.

President Wilson. of course, had moth
ing to do with the appointment and was
not consulted about 1t. Taggart is not
f1uence at the White House and he ha.
seen the President only twice since Mr.
Wilson came into office, and then to
pay his respects. The Presidents idea
of politics are not those of Taggart, but
Indiana politicians. including many
democrats, think the appointment will
not do the President any good.

Proper to Appeal to Congress.

Mr.. Holder said that in view of the
fact that government employees "waiv-
ed their right to strike" he believed
that it is a proper method of raising
wage standards to appear before Con-
rress and cause necessary laws to be
enacted. He mentioned that Congress
had raised the salaries of senators and
representatives, and that employees had
believed at that time that a similar
raise would be forthcoming all down
the line.
"Should there be distinction in the
nav of employees who are married and
those who are not married." asked Rep
resentative Denison. This started a
cojloouy, in which Representative Van
Dyke said he believed many govern
ment salaries too low for men to draw
when married, and that the low wages
acted as a bar to marriage. Represent
alive Denison, who is single man,
asked whether it is proper to place a
premium either on the state of married
blessedness or on the state of single
hlessedness; whether the government
should raise wages on the wedding day
and on the advent of children. Mr.
Holder doubted the practicability of
such scheme; he said he preferred a
fat rate of increase for all.
J. T. Meyer, representing the laborers
in the New York customhouse and
Edward J. Cantwell. secretary of the
National Association of Letter Carriers
gave facts and figures to prove present
scales of wages too low for decent liv-
ing.

partment wants. Gen. Carranza's reply
was sent to President Wilson. The IN
formation he asks will be furnished.
1t was understood Gen. Carranza
wants information of the extent to
which the United States expects to use
the railroad, and probably assurances
that the line is to be used only for fur
nishing supplies. Administration Off
Gals realize that Carranza is dealing
with a difficult public sentiment In
Mexico. and that use of the railroads
by American troops unless fully under
stood might lead to friction.
1t is believed Carranza Is favorably
inclined toward the request. His reply
was forwarded from Queretero.
The administration realizes fully the
difficulty of Gen. Carranza'S position,
because of feeling in Mexico. For that
reason every effort is being made by
the State Department to disseminate in
Mexico the information that the United
States has no motives of aggression in
sending troops across the border. Fol-
lowing out the same policy, the Amer
lean troops now in Mexico have been
given instructions to be careful in their
dealings with Mexicans generally. All
acts which might be construed as Of
fensive to the Mexican population are
to be avoided.
Reports From Mexico Optimistic.
Generally. reports from Mexico today
were optimistic in character. Mr..
Polk denied emphatically reports that
the government had any reliable in
formation of plots to bring about
armed intervention.
Gen. Carranza it was learned today.
has been urged by some of his closest
advisers to offer n large reward for the
apprehension of Villa.
Sailing orders of the battleshp Ken
lucky. which had been ordered from New
Orleans TO Vera Cruz. were changed to-
day to send the ship to Galveston. Sec
rotary Daniels said there was no need
for the ship at Vera Cruz and that re-
ports from the gulf coast of Mexico were
optimistic.
Gen. Funston has informed the War
Department that two troops of the list
Cavalry. stationed at Calexio, on the Cal
ifornia- Mexico border. are to remain at
their station to protect the Imperial
valley.

Hospital Corps Prepared.

According to Lieut.. Col e. 3. FLICK. IN
charge of the Medical Corps, every prep
aration is being made to care speedily Tor
the injured Nor has the possibility OF
members of the expedition becoming in
fected with the diseases which have fol-
lowed in the wake of civil war in Mexico
been overlooked.
Every soldier accompanying the puni-
tive expeditionary force has been vac
cinated against smallpox and gwen
the army prophylaXis treatment to pre-
vent typhoid fever. Especial attention
also is being given by army medica
officers to prevent outbreaks OF typhus'
which has been prevalent recently
throughout the southern republic.
IL is known in Columbus that the
medical officers who accompanied the
troops are taking thorough sanitary
measures at each stopping place and
that all water supplies are being test
ed for trace of poison. No interrupt
ton of concentration marked the pass
ing of Sunday in Columbus. The troops
were kept SO busily engaged in prep
arations for eventualities that even re-
lgious services were impossible 1t
was pointed out, however, that there
were no chaplains in camp, all the
available religious officers having been
taken with the expedition.
