U. S. ACCEPTS
MEXICAN PLAN
TO KEEP PEACE

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Am
erican government will accept the sug-
gestion of the de facto government of
Mexico for settlement by commissions
of three of the questions outlined in
the Mexican note of July II.
The state department will suggest
in return, and insist on on acceptance
by the Mexican government, that the
commissions bind the Carranza govern
ment to assure adequate protection of
the American border from the Mexi-
can side, subject to the approval of
both governments.
State department officials pointed
out that the Mexican note proposed
merely an arrangement permitting
troops of either country to cross the
border in pursuit of bandits. ito make
an investigation of the origin of ban
dts to date to fix responsibility for
the past porder raids, and settle the
difficulties which have resulted from
them The proposal, in the opinion
of the department. does not go so far
as the United States desires.

NURSES AGREE
TO COOPERATE

Some arrangement whereby persons.
who need the services of nurses may
obtain them al rate ranging between
so cents and 81 is needed in Rich
mond
This need was expressed by Miss
Mary Kennedy, county visiting nurse,
at joint meeting of the Social Ser
vice Bureau and the Anti-Tuberculosis
society last night
She told of finding many cases in
the city limits where a nurse is need
ed but for which she is not permitted
to care
John Melpolder, secretary Of the
Social Service Bureau. asked Miss
Kennedy why she did not report these
cases to the city visiting nurse. She
replied that the people declined to
let her call the Social Service Bureau
because they said they did not want
to accept the aid of charity
Mr. Melpolder, however. disagreed
with the tuberculosis nurse on this
point. After this, a lengthy exchange
of opinion, the belief prevailed that
cooperation between the two visiting
nurses will ensue.

FROM CARRANzA

politics and the promise of a new
revolution took all OF the interest out
of Mexican military affairs today when
the junta of the new Legalista party
held its meeting in Ell Paso and round
ed out its plans for the overthrow of
the CarranZa government.

camp followers for profit only, who
hail each new revolution as a business
proposition.

ceive real serious consideration when

it to the extent of many millions. In
addition, the names of many wealthy
Mexicans- -Amany of them at present
residents of Ell Paso-were used as
supporters of the new party.

There was a total decrease in as
sessment of property in Wayne county
this year of $1SS,2S0 Besides this
there are mortgage exemptions that
amount to $4S,130 more than last year.
This makes a total decrease in tax
able property of $236,410.
This is shown in the abstracts of
assessments of property in Wayne
county which has just been completed
by Miss Alice X Griffin, deputy audi
tor This abstract was sent to the
auditor Of state today This is prob
ably the first time in the history of
Wayne county that there has been a
decrease in assessments, Miss Grif
fin said today.
Reasons Are Assigned.
The reasons for the decrease are
chiefly the sale of the light plant to
the city by the Light, Heat and Power
company, thus putting it in the non
taxable list and reducing the assess
lment OF the Light, Heat and Power
company 100000.
