Every Days Delay Renders It Better Able to
Cope With the Mexican Situation
ONLY WEAKNESS OF THE ARMY AND LACK OF PREPAREDNESS Of THE NATIONAL GUARD HAS
PREVENTED WILSON FROM PRESSING MATTERS TO IMMEDIATE CONCLUSION

Washington, June 27.-It is clear
American cavalrymen captured at
Carrizal are released within forty
eight hours action will be taken by
the United States. The impression
prevailed in official circles that Pres
ident Wilson wouldn't wait beyond
Thursday, possibly not beyond tomor-
row afternoon, for definite reply
from Carranza to the note demanding
the immediate release of the Ameri-
cans taken prisoner at Carrizal and
declaration Of Mexican intentions.
Special Agent Rodgers, at Mexico
City, reported that he delivered the
note to the Mexican foreign Office yes
terday morning. He didn't indicate
how it was received or when a reply
is expected.
AGGRESSIVE ACTION CAN'T BE
TAKEN
1t is certain that no aggressive mil
itary operations can be undertaken
until there is a substantial number of
national guardsmen to back up Gen.
Funston's regulars. President Will
sons first step, should he decide to
force the issue, probably would be to
lay the situation before Congress and
ask for specific authority to use the
militia beyond the border and the au-
thorization of calling for volunteers
should they be needed.
1t is regarded as certain that any
resolution offered would reaffirm the
administration position that it is
being forced to defend United States
territory and not to seize territory.
Mexican officials here expressed
the opinion that Carranza would yield
the prisoners. The state department
has nothing confirmatory to this.
EVERY DAY A GAIN
Every delay in the seemingly inevi-
table break seems the United States
army better prepared for swift ac-
tion. This and the problem of get
ting Americans out of Mexico in
fiuenced government officials against
pressing matters.
Had the border forces been suffi-
cient it is more than probable time
limit would have been included in Sec
retary Lansing's note. There are
about thousand Americans still in
Mexico and many intend to stay.

BETWEEN
KNOTT AND Gait rs
Application for Injunction Against
State Canvassing Board Re-
fused by the Courts

Tallahassee, June 27.-Comptroller
w. V. Knott, apparently defeated for
governor in the primary of June by
Sidney j. Cats, and now preparing to
contest the count of votes as i'm
properly conducted in certain in
stances, won the first skirmish before
the state canvassing board yesterday
morning when he asked that begin
ming of the canvass be delayed until
3 o'clock when he would have a writ
ten statement to submit. The board
granted the request, which was made
by Mr.. Knott, in person, his attorney
not being present. Attorney Flournoy
for Mr.. Cats cross-questioned the
comptroller as to what the nature of
the statement would be, but Knott
would not answer, merely saying that
his case was before the board. He
said he wanted Mr.. lournoy and every
citizen of the state to understand
that he wanted nothing but what was
due him and that he would heartily
support the nominee of the party and
help make the administration a sue
cess.
Made One Himself
Attorney Flournoy replied that the
time for making political speeches
had passed and asked that the board
proceed with the canvass. The vote
was then taken and it was to 2 for
delay.
Treasurer Luning took Comptrol-
Ter Knott's place on the board on ac-
count of Knott being a candidate.
Commissioner of Agriculture McRae
went to Georgia to attend a conven-
ton on cattle tick eradication and
therefore is not serving.
Injunction Refused
Tallahassee, June 27.-Application
for an injunction to restrain the state
canvassing board from canvassing the
returns in the recent gubernatorial
primary, which was filed by w. ".
Knott, was denied yesterday by Cir
cult Judge Love at Quincy and the
state supreme court here.
Cats Plurality
The vote tabulated shows Cats
majority over Knott to be 263. Craw-
ford, Amos, Luning and Sheats have
also been nominated.

Assessors all over Montana, as well

Assessors all over Montana, as well
as stockmen, will be keenly interest
ed in an opinion given out by Attor-
ney General J. P. Poindexter, to the
effect that livestock brought into Mon
tana for grazing purposes, after the
first Monday in March, is subject to
taxation the same as if it had been in
the state prior to that time.
The opinion was given at the re-
quest of Julian Terrett, county at
torney Of Big Horn county, who pro-
pounded the question not only with
reference to the taxation of livestock
but also as to whether it is the duty
of assessors to assess property found
in the state owned by a resident for
the year in which the property was
brought into the state, when such
property was not brought into the
state until after IL o'clock noon of
the first Monday in March.
With reference to the second ques-
ton Attorney General Poindexter says
that an opinion by former attorney
general holds that bank fixtures which
were not within the state the first
Monday of March were not taxable.
"This opinion" says the attorney
general, "is the law, and the only
/ question as to the doctrine would be
as to the personal property, the loca-
ton of which is presumed to be at the
residence of the owner. The taxa
bility of such property would, of
course, depend upon the residence Of
the owner upon the first Monday of
March"
In second opinion, Attorney Gen.
eral Poindexter holds that county
commissioners are not prohibited. by
law from awarding a contract for
county printing to a printing company
of which the clerk of the district
court is president.
"There can be no doubt about the
general principal that a public officer
cannot be interested in a contract
which he individually or as a men,
ber of some board, lets, as public
officer" says the opinion. "This rule
is supported by the great weight Of
authority.
However, in the case in hand the
public officer, who is an officer also
Of the corporation with whom it is
proposed to contract, has no power,
duty or authority in the making Of
the contract. The clerk of the court
is not member of the board of coun-
ty commissioners, and has no voice in
their proceedings. Hence, it is not a
case Of an officer dealing with him
self"
