Atlantic City, Oct 3.-The United
States government cannot be response
bic for lives and property OF American
citizens who cross the border line Of
Mexico to pursue their business and
care for their interests in the south
ern republic. This was impressed by
the Mexican-American Joint Commits
sion to-day on representatives OF
American mining interests in Mexico,
who have protested to the mediatots
against Constituencies govern
mental obstruction" TO industry.
The mining men enlarged upon
their complaints in conference with
the Mexican representatives this af-
ternoon. They presented figures and
facts demonstrating their contention
that excessive taxation imposed by
Carranza on mined ore entailed either
operation at loss or suspension. The
representatives of the First Chief re-
piled that the system Of cumulative
taxation now enforced by the de facto
government had been adopted only
after the most exhaustive study of
Mcxico's industrial needs; that it had
been specially designed to press more
heavily on rich corporations than on
individual operators; that it was sue
cessful so far as the dc fscto su-
thorities were concerned, and that il
could not be discarded until the wis
dom of such action clearly had been
demonstrated.
Offer Employment to Poems.
Following their vain appeal to the
Mexicans. the mining representatives
conferred with the American commits
soners, impressing upon them the
great financial loss attendant upon sus-
pension of operations and urging them
10 make every effort TO convince the
First Chiefs advisers Of the necessity
of tax reductions. The willingness of
the mining companies to pay taxes
equal TO those in force in 1912 was re-
terated. the delegates asserting that

the Mexican commissioners, that little
apprehension concerning the recur-
renee of bandit raids Oh property need

Mexican troops could be placed in ter

American mediators informed the min.
ing men that while certain sections Of
Northern Mexico seemed to be free
from bandits, others were still in

Word was received here yesterday
that Peter Gilbert of Madison was
before Judge Frank Withee IN NUM-
cipal Court charged with the single
sale of intoxicating liquors. 1t
seems that one Mike Terrlo came
down from the woods Saturday and
inquired where he could purchase
some liquor. He was directed to
the home of Gilbert where it Is claim
ed a quart of whiskey was bought.
This led up according to the report to
Terrio's arrest on Sunday by Depu-
ty Sheriff McKenney on the charge of
intoXication, the subsequent discoy-
cry of where the liquor had been
purchased, the sentence and fine inn
posed by Judge Withee and the APP
peal of Gilbert, who furnished 5000
bonds
