SMALL FEE FOR VERMONT
To Be Secured from the Hetty Green
Estate.

Bellows Falls. July IA tax of 81 $50
is the extent of the fee which Vermont
may expect from the estate of millions
disposed of in the will of Mrs. Hetty
Green, long known as America wealth.
est woman, in the opinion of state and
local officials who read the provisions of
her will yesterday. The document gave
practically the entire estate to her SON.
Colonel E. H. R. Green. and her daughter,
Mrs Matthew Astor Wilkes. This fact
made the bulk OF the inheritance exempt,
as there is no tax in this state on prop
erty willed from parents to children.
Mrs. Green's bequests totalling $4,000
to friends and other relatives. however,
are subject to a 5 per cent tax and from
this source the state will realize 81 $50.
Although the will expressly stipulated
that no inventory or appraisal of the
estate should be required, it was said yes
terday that the extent to which Mrs.
Green had developed her birthright might
be determined through an order from the
probate Judge. Such an order, it was un-
derstood, might be issued on request of
any immediate relative or an interested
public official, but there was no indica-

possible source of action might be an
official of New York state. where the in
heritance tax laws should exact a con-
siderable sum from the estate if il were
shown to be within its jurisdiction.

Informs Carranza That 1t
Accepts Direct Diplomat
ic Negotiation
AS A SOLUTION
OF DIFFERENCES
United States Government
May Assist Carranza to
Restore Order

Washington, d, c., July "A note
formally accepting Carranza's proposal
that the differences between the United
States and the de facto government OF
Mexico be settled by direct negotiations
was handed to-day TO Eliseo Arredondo,
the Mexican ambassador designate. Sec-
retary of State Lansing took a draft Of
the note at to-dsy's cabinet meeting and
had it delivered promptly after the cab
met adjourned. A course to be pursued
has already been agreed upon by Presi.
ent Wilson and his advisers.
Events clearly have proved the failure
of the first chiefs hopes to re-estaL-
lish orderly government unaided, Off
cials here believe, and with the war
abroad shutting off every other source
of assistance. he is thought now to have
reached the point where he will make
proper guarantees in order TO secure
American capital.
Mr.. Arredondo said last night that
while he had general instructions from
his government to discuss with the state
department the points on which there is
he would await new orders
from Mexico City, before undertaking
the proposed negotiations. He added
that he did not expect to take up the
question of arranging credit for his gov
ernment but would leave that to DR.
Alfredo Caturegli, General Carranza's
financial agent, stationed at New York.
1t is believed here that the question
of constructive measures TO stabilize the
Nexiran government will f-ome I'm hefore
The conversations have progressed very
lar. The Washington administration is
understood to be as firmly convinced as
sver that the only proper and efficient
,ure for the distressing condition of its
southern neigflbor must be found with
n that country, not through interven
ion At the same time cure for the
awless conditions in the border states
must be found before the United States |
an feel justified in abating in any de-
,ree the preparation it Il making to pro.
ect its frontier by force or arms.
There is no question that the Mexican |
government viii contend forcefully for |
he withdra wal OF American troops from |
iexico. Since the purpose to compel |
heir withdrawal has been abandoned
owever, officials do not look for an
ther deadlock on that issue President
wilson is said to be ready to order the
roops out promptly when he has any
ssurance that it will not mean merely
renewal OF the conditions that caused
hem TO be sent in. But no plan OF ac-
ION now agreed upon can be based upon
n agreement to withdraw them.
