House Report Foreshadows
Bond Issue of $125,OOO,OOO;
Fiscal Deficit, $266,922,OOO

The report on the omnibus taxation bill
fled with the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Kitchin. OF North Carolina,
the Democratic leader. foreshadows a
bond issue of $l25OOO,OOO to supplant the
revenues to be derived from the proposed
law.
1t is estimated by the Democrats that
the excess OF expenditures over receipts
in the new fiscal year will amount to
more than $3.50, go, 900. This sum will be
furnished in part by the new revenue
law and by requisittons on the general
fund Of the Treasury. The report sets
forth that about SO 600 must be taken
from current funds to take up the slack
between outgo and income.
These figures do not take into consid-
GRAFTON expenditures made and to be
made on account of the troop movements
toward the border. The expenses of this
venture will be borne by the sale of
bonds, a step that is justified by the
Democrats on the ground that an ex-
traordinary situation confronts the gov
ernment.

Carranza Guided
By Secret Pact
Reached an Understanding
with Wilson Several Days
Ago, Is Report.
BY II. II. STANSBCEN.

Ell Paso. Tex. July 5.-A secret under
standing of which the public had no
knowledge was reached between the
White House and First Chief Carranza
several days ago. according to telegram
which has been forwarded to a powerful
brokerage concern in New York by it's
special agent here.
The information affords the first eX-
planation Of Carranza's order releasing
Internationally the American prisoners
captured at CarTizal. 1t also explains
the rapid withdrawal of the Pershing eX-
pedition in the direction of the border.
Responsibility for the treacherous man
ner in which the Tenth Cavalry troops
were ar1bushed by Gen. Felix Gomez is
not believed TO have been taken into ac-
count in the secret preliminary exchange
OF communications
Carranza's understanding Of the situs-
ton is said to be that he will not be held
responsible for the long list Of atrocities
which accumulated during the revolution.
This includes the Santa Ysabel massacre,
the Columbus. Glen Springs and Browns
Vile raids
The Washington herald., 1916-07-06

The report states that the revenue bill
will bring in taxes from the following
sources: Additional from income tax.
$lo7 COO, 900; inheritances. $1,000, 900; NUM-
tions tax, s7l.OOoOO; miscellaneous, ST.
10000; balance from Treasury fund. s6S,-
600 600; total, $3.50. .922, 900.
1t is estimated that after the year 1917
the tax on inheritances, which is de-
scribed as an estate tax" will yield
about s54,ooo,OoO in every twelvemonth
period. For the current year only $1,000.
900 is expected from this source.
The hope of the Democrats that they
would have Republican support for the
revenue bill was realized yesterday when
the Ways and Means Committee voted
on the measure. Two Republicans. Rep
resentatives Gardner. of Massa chusetts,
and Longworth. OF Ohio, voted for it, re-
serving the right to criticise some of Its
provisions.
It Is estimated by the report that gov
ernment expenditures for this fiscal year
Will approximate s157s,OO0.Ooo

Trumpeters, IL and 20 Years,
Offer to Battle for u. S.

Two trumpeters. one 10 and the other
u, yesterday showed the Pennsylvania
Avenue recruiting station that they were
ready for real service. but their ages
were against them and they both were
turned away.
Michael NJ. H. Lynch who did not give
his residence. said he had served in the
civil war and proved to the officers he
was above the average as a trumpet per-
former.
Edward Smith, of '7OS E street south
east, also came to the station with his
trumpet and he. too. played like reg
ular" Edward said his father is civil
war drum corps veteran.
Though possessed with unusual musical
talent, both applicants were turned away,
one never to see service again, the other
waiting until a few more years pass by.
Ellie Sheetz again carried the martial
musicians about town in his machine to
create more preparedness spirit.

WILL ATTACK
BORDER POLICY
Republicans in Congress Re-
sent Wilson S Plan for With
drawal of u. S. Troops.
ACQUIESCENCE TO CARRANZA
TO BE ROUNDLY DENOUNCED

President Wilson's course in Mexico is
to be subjected to a furious attack by
Republicans in Congress. according to in
dications here yesterday
A wave of resentment swept the floor
of the House when II became apparent
that the administration IS prepared to
accept as satisfactory the Carranza sug-
gestion for further negotiations TO effect
the withdrawal OF American troops from
Mexico and for providing protection for
the American border.
A series OF speeches denouncing the
Presidents policy has been prepared by
Republicans in the lower branch of Con-
gress. and only the definite settlement
OF the present Mexican issue is needed to
start the attack. Republican leaders have
determined to Withhold their attack until
the psychological moment.
This is not the time for Republicans
to talk" said Republican Leader Mann.
OF the House. yesterday
particularly strong attack on the ad-
ministration has been placed in the hands
=
OF Illinois, one of the strongest orators on
the Republican side Of the House. Rep
resentative Rodenberg declared yesterday
he had in his possession facts bearing on
the situation in Mexico which would
astonish Congress and the country. Rep
resentative Humphreys, of Washington.
likewise declared he was prepared to dis
cuss-t the Mexican situation.
ut now seems apparent" he stated.
that we are preparing to withdraw our
troops from Mexico. That is the final
blunder of a series of blunders which
have become a tragic chapter in the his
tory of our foreign relations. Evidently
the administration is unable to make up
its mind to any positive American course
of action"

Bell. jr., in command OF the Fort Bliss
district, today sent officers to Ysleta to
investigate reports that Mexican snipers

Mausers popped at them. but did not re-
turn the fire. On top of this report
came stories all along the border that
snipers were making targets of al
trains that passed within range.
