TROUBLE

A public probe of the conduct
Of Andrew Holmes, superintend-
ent of the Nisqually power plant,
will probably be held as the re-
suit of charges made in the city
council today that he was spend
ing part of his time "joyriding"
In an automobile and using city
gasoline for fuel.
The investigation will begin
this week. it is expected.
Holmes has come in for criti-
cism several times since his ap-
pointment by Commissioner
Drake, but each time has escaped
q public investigation.
Charges came up today, after
Drake had introduced a bill in
the council for collection, repre-
senting charges made by Holmes
for use of his own automobile.
Elaborate Expense Account.
Holmes asked $1.4O for feed
ing four linemen at Canyada
lodge, roadside inn adjoining
the power plant, S. for bringing
the linemen to Tacoma in his car,
81 for his own expenses while in
the city, and 81 for the privilege
of driving himself back to his
work.

buys large quantities of gasoline,
under city charge, for operation
of his car.

AerOplanes Proving Useful.
Each day has found new uses for
the army aeroplanes which for the
first time began flights among the
cliffs and crags of the peaks of the
Sierra Tarahumares less than a week

Whenever they are on the ground
the aviators keep in mind General
Pershing's orders to demonstrate the
army's friendliness, and they have had
some startling opportunities in this
line, landing among Mexicans who
had never before seen any American
military outfits. One Of the machines
stopped near Mexican village. The

April S.-A Mexican peon four-piece
orchestra gave an unexpected Sunday
night concert in General Pershing's
camp last night. 1t was the first mu-
sic to which the American forces have
been treated since they entered Mex
leo more than two weeks ago
The orchestra came into camp in a
wagon, returning from a Sunday "fe-
licitation" at a nearby ranch, and was
halted by eager shouts Of the soldiers
just as the camp fires were being
lighted. The orchestra played a few
selections for the soldiers, including
La Cucuracha," the Villa marching
song, the chorus of which runs:
The cockroach, the cockroach
No longer can he go,
Because he hasn't any
Mariawanna for his pipe"
General Pershing called the musi-
clans over TO his camp fire.

had large numbers of troops on the
scene, coupled with the issue of the
original order to General Funston led
to a good deal of speculations as to
just what the administration was
planning to do but in no quarter could
a statement that the troops were about
to be withdrawn be substantiated,
Secretary Lansing confirmed re-
ports from Queretaro that counter
proposals had been made to the Car
rama government in connection with
the proposed protocol. These were
understood to be today before Carran
"a and his cabinet. The secretary
would not disclose their nature.
Regarding use of the Mexican rail-
ways, Secretary Lansing issued the
following formal statement:
Il do not consider the railroad CUES
ton worthy of discussion. 1t really
isn't a factor in the situation any
longer"
He indicated that this government
is entirely satisfied with the transport
tatiOn situation.
Villa at Parral.
Information from Mexican sources
today said that Francisco Villa had
reached the environs of Parral and
had sent emissaries into the town to
test the spirit of the garrison and also
to secure provisions. AS usual with
such reports, no verifcation was pos
sible, but the fact that the bandit was
reliably reported to have been only
so miles from Parral two days ago
=, gave color to the story.
This information served at least to
act as considerable damper on the
hopes Of those who thought that the
bandits career might be ended by an
other brilliant dash on the part of the
American troopers who have pushed
south Of Satevo. If he has reached
! Parral, it is said that the chase must
settle down into a steady grind with
! the issue to be decided as an endur-
ance test.
! "RumOristS" Busy Again.
| The repeated dashing of the hopes
of speedy termination to the pursuit
has given new life to the alarmists
and ''rumorists" on the border. The
| stories of massing the Carranza troops
in proximity to the international line
| which had died away for period, have
! been revived. While there is no ques-
| ton that there are considerable num-
( bers Of Carranza soldiers concentrated
| at various places within 20 miles OF
the Sonora and Chihuahua line, there
! Is equally no doubt that their numbers
have been greatly exaggerated by the
alarmists.
No exact estimate is possible, as the
troops are constantly shifting from
town to town, but conservative Amer
leans who have passed through north
ern Sonora and Chihuahua in the last
two weeks are convinced that the to-
tai is not more than 10000, and posi-
bly, less.
Same Story Every Day.
Americans long resident in Mexico
assert that the loyalty of the peon SOL
der depends largely on the question
Of how we'll he is treated. 1t is on
this contention apparently that the
majority Of the stories of the disaffec-
ton Of the Carranza troops are based.
Every day brings fresh story here
that the garrison at Juarez is about
to revolt, the sole basis being the fact
that they are undeniably ill-fed and
clothed and consequently discomfort
ed.

HUGHES ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
Too Long, and Vague in Suggesting AL terations for the Policies He
 Criticizes.

Mir. Hughes would have been more merciful to a country plunged in steep-down gulfs of heat and very ent if he had cut his notification speech shorter, but possibly the pa tient reader will be grateful to it for a refrigerating effect. This Is not to say that 1t is not as able and forcible document as his difficult task al- lows. That task is to solder a split party; to try to create issues in the presence of the great constructive policies that have been put on the statute books in MT. Wilson's ad- ministratioh; to breathe life into the ghost issues evoked In the hope of making the voters forget the unpa- triotic and un-American course of so large a part of the Republican party in congress in refusing to support MT. Wilson's assertion of the rights of American citizens upon the high seas; to explain to prosperous people that they have no right to be prosperous under a Democratic admin istration and without the shelter of the ark of high protection. MT. Hughes is lucid where he can afford to be; vague when he suggests, so far as he does suggest, alternatives of the poli- cies he criticizes.
 Little that is new appears In the speech. It Is mainly a composite of the well-known wisdom of Republican sages and the converted Progressive chiefs. The voices of MT. Roosevelt, of Senator Fall, of Senator Harding and the Home Market club may be detected in it. Senator Fall, indeed, seems to be the main prompter.

90 cents annually for each car. In Texas and South Carolina no annual registration fees are collected, the only requirement being a county fee of 50 cents and $1 respectively for perennial registration. Most of the states, how ever, also levy annual taxes on motor vehicles and this adds importantly to the public revenue contributed by the owners of mOtor-propelled vehicles.
 In the use of fees, however, there seems to be general policy of apply ing the major part of the money col lected from automobilists directly to road betterment. In 42 of the states of the Union all or the major portion of the motor-vehicle revenue must be expended for the construction, im- provement, or maintenance of the pub lie roads, or for the maintenance of the state highway department. In 20 states, all or the major portion of the net motor-vehicle revenues are ex- pended by or under the supervision or direction of the state highway depart ment. In seven states one-half to one fourth of the state motor-vehicle rev. enues are expended through the state highway'department, and the remaind- CT by the local authorities. Many states, in addition to applying license fees to road construction expend for this purpose a large part of the fines and penalties collected from owners.
 In the number of registrations New York state led in 1915 with 255, PAP; Illinois was second with 1S0,S32; Cali fornia third with 163, ,797; and Penn sylvania fourth with 16O, ,137.

Woodrow Wilson and Business.

Charles Sumner Birds distress over the injury done to American business, or soon to be done in the future, by the Wilson administration, should be contemplated in the light of the sub joined statement in MT. Barron's Bos- ton News bureau-and MT. Barron is no admirer of Woodrow Wilson:
 "The week of July 15, 1916, should be notable in financial history in con- nection with the federal reserve act. For the first time the New York money market dominates the London market. The Bank of England rate was advanced to per cent, because money went to 5 per cent in New York With our exports expanded $2,OOO,- 100000 per annum, the United States under the Federal Reserve act is today the dominant money factor in the world'
 These things do not jibe. For, as the one man chiefly responsible for the federal reserve act, under which the United States "is today the domi- nant money factor of the world" Woodrow Wilson will never be known in history as the "enemy" of American business, whatever MT. Bird may say of him in this campaign.-Springfie Republican.
