TO SEE PRESIDENT
IN WHISKY "AD" FIGHT
G. 7. Wilson to Present View of
Methodist Conference as to
Use of the Mails.

Clarence T. Wilson, head of the Meth
odist board of temperance in this city,
is to see President Wilson next week
to present to Mr.. Wilson the views of
the general conference of the Meth
odlst Church as to the harmful effects
of the use of mails for carrying whs-
Ky advertisements.
The Methodist general conference ut
its last session called the attention of
the Post Office Department to mis..p-
resentation in whisky advertisements
going through the mails and requested
an abatement of this for the general
public welfare. Mr.. Wilson. 1t is un
derstood will not only present the at
titude of the entire Methodist Church
OF the country. but will take the posi-
tlon that the suppression of these ad-
Vertisements is a duty of the govern
meht. If there is no legislation to
reach the advertisers. the church will
urge the President to recommend en-
actment of legislation If the Post
once Department take steps now
Ar. Wilson will ask that this be done.
Mr.. Wilson will point out to the Pres
ldent that $40 daily newspapers of the
country at present refuse to print
WHISKY advertisements to these are
Presidents Local Option Views.
Allegations that President Wilson
has declined to receive representatives,
Of prohibitionists who wished to urge
MIN to favor a constitutional amend
ment putting alcoholic liquors out of
business in this country were not borne
out by inquiries at the White House.
The President, it is pointed out, has
last few weeks and may have failed to
grant requests made of him some time
back, but he expects to increase the
number of visitors who see him here
after and is not likely to reject worthy
and prominent representatives of any
cause.
The President long ago took the po-
Sltlon that prohibition is a local op-
ton question and that it is for the peo
pie in various states and communities
to decide what they want. 1t is believed
by those in his confidence that he will
not depart from this attitude in talks
that he may have with advocates of
prohibition.
1t is expected that the President will
be urged to use his influence to bring
about prohibition in the District, but
it is not known how he would view this
request. Senators and representatives
who will favor legislation for making
the District dry have not talked with
him. but some of them expect to do So

 South

Fl Paso, Tex, August 5.-Mariano Tames, formerly a colonel of the Villa army, leading about 100 men, is mak- ing his way south and west from the border tonight in an attempt to join Villa in the Mapimi district according to reports here.
 Flames, who started from Juarez early today with six men of the volun- teer defense corps, after failing to or ganize a revolt of the garrison, was joined by so men on the outskirts of the town and by a score more from the garrison at Samalayuca, 30 miles south. the reports said Pursuing him is a column of 700 dispatched by Gen. Fran cisco Gonzales, commanding the Car ranza army of northern Chihuahua with orders to bring back the bodies of the revolutionists.
 Tames, prior to the recent crisis be- tween the United States and the de facto government, had no connection with governmental affairs, being a member of the middle class engaged in merchandise business in Juarez At that time he was entrusted with the formation and command of the volun- teer defense corps of Juarez.
 Reports current in Fl Paso tonight that the CarranZa military paymaster in Juarez had absconded with approx imately $50,000 in gold were denied by General Gonzales and Andres Garcia, local Mexican consul.

SENATE DEMOCRATS
 FAVOR REDUCTION INCOME KEMP TON
Tentative Change in House Bill Would Add $6,000,0OO to Revenue if Finally
 Adopted

Washington, August 5-Reduction of the income tax exemption from $300o to s2000 for single persons and from S4000 to S3000 for persons with fam lilies was ordered recommended to the Senate tonight by democratic members of the finance committee who are re- vising the House revenue bill.
 The change is proposed in an amend ment which would put the additional 5000 tax in separate classification and impose on it a normal tax of 1 per cent instead of the per cent assessed against incomes over S3000 for single persons and s4O00 for married per- sons.
 The exemption amendment, after ar all-day discussion, prevailed by a ma jority of only one vote, opposition per sisting to the last. After announce ment of the result by Chairman Sim mons, some of the democratic senators said that the decision was d tentative one and might be overturned when the amendment was submitted to the tull membership of the committee next week.
 The roll call on the amendment was not disclosed. Those who favored 1t emphasized the grave necessity for ad- ditional revenue, and had estimates be- fore them showing that the proposed exemption reductions would add about S6,O00,000 to the governments treas ury It probably would increase sev- eral fold the total number of taxables.
 This amendment Is the second change in the income tax proposed by Senate democrats, who last night voted to increase the sur-tax on incomes in excess of $2,o00,000 from 10 to 13 per cent It is estimated that the sur-tax would bring in approximately $10,- 000,000.
 The subcommittee on the munitions sections of the revenue bill, it was definitely announced, has voted to re- duce the proposed excise tax on pro- auctions of copper and to add to the munitions list an excise tax on prod ucts of lead, zinc, iron and steel. Sen ator Stone, chairman of the subcom- mittee, did not disclose the amount of the proposed taxes, which have not yet been considered by the full democratic membership.
 Personally" said Senator Stone, "I would recommend a tax on all abnor- nal profits of munitions of war. A reasonable profit could be established by exports and tax levied on all above that figure"

 An assertion by Senator Lewis that the United States at one time was about to recognize General Villa as head of the de facto Mexican government was seized upon promptly by Senator Fall, who de- clared that this admission would give the republican party its best weapon of the campaign.
 We knew that the administration was at one time ready to recognize the thief assassin, murderer-Pancho Villa, but this is the first time I have heard fol- lower of the administration admit it, he said
 Senator Fall described Senator Lewis attack as {, most remarkable harrangue" and declafed that. despite the opinions of democraYc leaders, Mexico would be a ringing issue In the campaign, and that thousanls of refugees from Mexico would be asking why the administration did not live up to it's platform pledges.
