Argue 1t Is Unconstitutional.

One of the chief contentious OF these
suits Ii that the Adamson law violates
the Fifth amendment TO the Constitu-
ton by arbitrarily and unreasonably"
depriving the roads OF their liberty Of
contract and property without due pro-
cess Of law; that IL discriminates against
certain railroad workers. and that II in
flicts enormous penalties.
The union attitude is that the railroads
are trying to evade the spirit of the
law. and that any concessions must
come from the transportation heads. 1t
Is likely that the union men will lay
their side before President Wilson next
week, though. apparently, the situation
Is not such yet as to need any action
from the President.

of the CarranZa de factO government of Mexico which named midnight of January q as the extreme hour at which delinquent mining taxes might be paid.
 Many of the American land holders who were taxed eight pesos gold on pertenencia Uwo and one-fifth acres) allowed portions of their holdings to revert to the government, as they felt, according to reports which reached here tonight, that the graduated scale of taxation announced some time ago by General CarranZa would be almost prOhibitive as compared with the worth of certain portions of their claims.
 The graduated scale, the first pay ment under which will be due on the first of next March, provides for a tax of twelve pesos gold yearly on holdings up to ten pertenecias, fiji teen pesos between ten and twenty pertenecias, eighteen pesos from twenty to fifty pertenecias, and twen- ty-fOur pesos on all holdings of greater than fifty pertenecias.
 Much of the land which reverted today to the government had been held for many years and taxes amounting to thousands of dollars had been paid on it to the then gov ernment of Mexico.

ship The latter view is generally accepted by the American navy. and probably would be followed by the state department, though Secretary Lansing said today he would have to take time to consider the important question involved before announcing a conclusion.
 Assuming that the American naval view prevails, officials would see thei1. way clear to her disposition under article 21 of The Hague convention concerning the rights and duties of neutral powers in naval war.
 This article permits prizes to be brought into a neutral port on ac- count of unseaWorthiness. stress of weather or want of fuel or proVis- ions. A prize must leave as soon as he circumstances which justified it's entry are at an. end If it does not. the neutral power must order it to leave at once. should it fail to obey,
Arizona republican., 1916-02-02

the neutral power must employ the means at its disposal to release it with its officers and crew and to in- tern the prize crew.
 A subsequent article enlarges the power of the captor of a prize crew SD that he may bring the captured vessel into a neutral port to be SC Questered pending the decision of q prize court. But the United States. at the time the treaty was made, espec- tally declined to accept this article. and the debate at The Hague showed that the American position was strongly opposed to any such use of American ports as receptacles of any prize It was pointed out that otherwise the United States would ac- tually he made the base of operations by one belligerent against another. So if treated simply on the basis of a prize, without doubt the state department would be governed by article T in the case of the Appam. This would involve notice to Lieuten ant Berge to leave Hampton Roads as soon as he could procure needed pro visions or fuel and make his ship sea worthy by absolutely necessary re- pairs. As several British cruisers are without doubt already watching the entrance to Chesapeake bay, a speedy recapture of tue Appam would seem 1 inevitable
 [ X failure to regard the notice to quit would oblige the port authorities still supposins they regarded the Ap- pam as d prize, to take off and intern 1 the German prize crew and to turn
 the Appam over to the nearest British 1 consul in order that she might be re- stored to her civil owners
