Salazar Sends Word That
Columbus Nothing Com
pared to His Strike.
THREE COWBOYS KILLED
Negro Brings Warning When
He Comes to Border to
Raise Money.

Hachita, n NJ, Feb. 16.-Three
bodies later identified as those of
Hugh Accord, Andrew p. Peterson
and Burton Jansen, were found
Thursday by Lem Spllsbury, former
scout with Gen Pershing.
The bodies of the three American
cowboys were found on the Mexican
side Of the border, three miles south
of monument No. SO.
The bodies of the three Americans
were found about fifty feet apart, ac-
cording to Spillsbury. Each victim
had been shot many times in the
head.
Hugh Acord's head was mutilated
with Ratchet, according to Spills
bury. All of the bodies were stripped
of clothing, hats and shoes, Spillsbury
said.
Spillsbury found the raiders trail
early in the morning and followed
them during the day, coming upon
the bodies late in the afternoon. From
what he could learn the Mormon
scout said he was convinced that the
three murdered men had been taken
into Mexico from American soil and
then killed.
A government agent after an in
vestigation of the raid, reported to
Washington that the Mexicans under
Prudencio Miranda were eating din
ner at a ranch on the American side
when Peterson, Jensen and Accord
rode up unarmed. The Americans
were made prisoners.
Ed. Bunk Spencer, the American
negro ranch foreman for the +. X.
Warren and sons interests, who
reached the border late Tuesday with
Salazar's demand for $1,000 in gold,
also brought with him verbal state
ment which he declared Salazar made
to him at OiitoS, Chihauhau, the pur-
port of which was that Salazar in
tended to raid an American town on
the border which would surpaSs
Villas raid at Columbus, N, NJ, and
in which linen of Gringo land will
have to take care" but that women
and children would be protected.
While Spencer made the trip to the
border from OjitoS to deliver Salazar's
demand for the ransom, his Mexican
wife was held as a hostage at the
ranch and Spencer said he was told
by Salazar that she would be shot if
he did not return by sunrise Wedaes-
day.
After delivering his message to the
general Overseer of the Warren
ranches, Spencer returned to Mexico
late Tuesday evening.

In the Senate Thursday drastic
amendments to the Postal Approprla-
ton Bill were agreed to which would
make criminal the importation OF Ii
auor into States which prohibit its
manufacture and sale for beverage
purposes, and which would exclude
liquor advertisements from the mails
in States which legislate against such
advertising. The amendment was
added by Senator Reed, of Missouri,
to the Jones amendment barring
newspapers or other publications or
letters and postal cards containing
liquor advertisements from the mails
in States which have laws against
such advertising. 1t was adopted af-
ter brief debate by vote OF 40 to IL

Kentucky Legislature Attacks
the Problem Of Framing
New Revnue Tax Law.
LIEUT.. GOV. BLACK RAPS
Disapproves The Extra Ses-
sion and Says Retrench-
ment is Needed. .

Frankfort, Ky, Feb. 17.-Lack of
dilly-dallying marked the opening ac-
tivities Of the general assembly which
convened hereIWednesday in answer
to Gov. SANKEY'S proclamation calling
an extra session for the purpose of
considering revenue and taxation
laws.
With the report of the tax commits
sioners to build upon, the lawmakers
of the state have already set in mo-
ton the machinery that will turn out
a system of taxation to replace the OBJ
solete laws now in force.
The opening guns on the offensive
campaign against Anticipated tax laws
were fired in the house when Repre-
Sentatives Picket, Gardner and Oliver
members of the tax commission, in
PRODUCED three bills which are re-
commended in the commissions re-
port.
Already serious consideration is be-
ing given the proposed laws by the
house committee on revenue and tax
alton, to which the bills were refer
red by Speaker H. c. Duffy. The
committee held public hearings
afternoon and night.
Something of sensation occurred
as the Senate opened, when Lieut.,
Gov. Black arose and voiced his op'
position to the calling of the extra
session. Mr.. Black said in part:
81 will probably not again have an
opportunity to take part in the details
of this assembly, so ! wish to express
my views concerning the extra ses-
sion.
He made a short criticism of the
Tax Commission and the calling of an
extra session, saying the bill would
have to be paid by the people of the
State.
''The necessity of this session, " he
said, us not by act of yours or the
! Governor, but he found in the lament
ably inadequate tax system now il
vogue and which reaches back through
several years. Most everyone familiar
with the present system finds it faulty
and insufficient.
81 do not believe, howeve1 that
the tax laws alone are to blame fol-
fhe depleted State treasury. believe
the high cost of living on the part OF
the State has good deal to do witt
the shortage of funds. The commits
sion recommended a permanent com
mission at an excessive salary, anC
the Stase will have to pay too much
to put the new law into operation.
The opposition of the Lieutenan
Governor to the special session called
forth many expressions Of surprise
