iNFATuATIoN OF MARY BLANDY.

MARY BLANDY does not rank with
4vk the great, artists in crime, but as
an illustration of human perversity
she remains supreme. The babes and
stockings of her time have become ven
cradle men and women, and all kinds
OF water have passed under the bridge,
but her name still lives in England,
and when old lawyers encounter a pc
culiarly cold-blooded criminal, they are
wont to say that he is as bad as Mary
Blandy.
Mary lived with her parents at Hen
ley-on-Thames. Her father was fine,
comfortable man, solicitor who had
a seemly package of pieces of eight
sailed down to his old age, and to leave
to his beloved daughter when he went
TO sleep with his fathers. Mary was
the JOY and pride of his life. He
thought so much of her that he used to
pore his friends describing her noble
ana Charming qualities, and seemed to
be under the impression that she ought
TO have been presented with a gold
headed cane at least once day. And,
really, the old man was not without
excuse, for Mary was q most attractive
damsel. She was young, well educat-
ed, of divers accomplishments, and a
pleasant personality. The father was
justified in believing that she eventu-
ally would marry some excellent citi-
zen, and live happy ever after.
If she didn't do this it wac not be-
cause of a lack of excellent citizens
or a backwardness on their part. Her
suitOrs fairly tramped down all the
flowers in the front yard in their eager
ness to propose TO her. and among
them were some of the most desirable
and promising young men in the neigh
bOrhood. She treated them all as good
friends, and turned them down, one
after another, when they volunteered
to escort her to the altar. In view of
what followed 1t is we'll to remember
that Mary Blandy had her chance to
pick and choose from all the beautiful
young men Of the countryside.
In the fullness of time Captain
CranstOun came to Henley on recruit
ing service. The captain was carica-
ture of Il man. He was small ana
withered. badly pitted with the small
pox, cross-eyed and possessed of
hideous muddy complexion. He was
the ugliest thing seen ON the main
street of the town in many a day. I'm
agine, therefore, the CONSERVATION of
the beautiful young men who had been
rejected in one-two-three order, when
they learned that Cranstoun was pay
ing his attentions to Mary, and evil
IDENTIFY with success. Mary seemed
infatuated with her shriveled captain.
SO the young men held an indigna-
ton meeting, and resolved to look up
the captains record, which they did. |
1t was a bad one, and included the |
fact that he had wife and children
in Scotland.
Proof of this was sent to Mr.. Blandy, |
and he tried to call halt. He put his |

Export to North
to Be Regulated
By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Shipment
of certain foods to Canada and New
Foundland under ruling tonight by
the exports administrative board
hereafter will require the same form
of license demanded for their export
to other countries. Heretofore they
have gone forward under blanket
license issued by collectors of Gus,
toms.
The purpose of the order, it was
explained, is to provide means of
closer cooperation between the Amer
lean and Canadian food administrators
and to put the United States in posi-
ton to conserve its supplies if short
ages appear likely. The foods nameo
are wheat, wheat flour, butter and
sugar.
Shipments now in transit are ex-
cepted in the order, which also makes
provision for small shipments by pro-
ducers and dealers living close to the
border Collectors of customs are di
rected to permit shipments to go
through without license when not in
excess of the following quantities:
Wheat. 125 bushels; flour, % bar
rels; butter, 125 pounds; sugar, %
barrels.
Shipments of food in the amounts
that may 90 to Canada without license
will be permitted to go forward to
Mexico under the same terms. Com
plants have come TO the exports board
that weekly market purchases have
been held up on the Mexican border
by jealous collectors when no export
license could be shown by the pur-
chaser.

plan being framed by the house mem
bers.
When the conferees recessed to-
night they had reached the manufac-
turing section Of the bill End planned
to begin with the automobile clause to-
morrow. The house conferees were
said to be disposed 20 generally accede
to the senate elimination of their plan
of levying a five-cent tax on certain
manufactures. bat favor a slight in
crease in the motor vehicle license
rates substituted by the senate.
Propose Change
In virtually concluding the income
tax rates, the conferees specifically
wrote into the bill the proposed doub-
ling of the present per cent normal
tax and the provision for reduction of
the exemptions from $4,000 and $4,000.
respectively. for single and married
persons to $1,000 and $4,000. The sur
tax rates on incomes above $4,000
were said 10 have been adjusted slight
ly, but no changes were made in the
SCCNtOu OduoAl6 any dppANNAobAS NAAASA
ence in the increased revenue yield.
Postage Tax
In the preliminary and general dis
cussion today of the main dispute in
volved, the postage tax features were
given special attention. Some of the
house members want TO restore in part
at least, the proposed tax on first-cIass
mail and to make an increase on sec
ond-class rates. There was also dis
cussion of eliminating postage fea-
lures, including the stamp tax on pack
ages sent by parcel post.
Work Today
Tomorrow the conferees expect to
dispose of many items not in dispute
and formally approve senate elimina-
ton of the house 10 per cent general
ad valorem tariff tax, which was de-
signed to raise $2O0,OO0,00O.

JAMES PERSHIRG IS
VISITOR IN B|SBEE
Brother of the Famous Amer
lean Commander Here On
Business for Day.

James F. Pershing, whose brother
happens to be General John Pershing
commander-in-chief of the American
forces in France, was in Bisbee yester-
day. Pershing came here on a bust
ness trip. Put him in uniform and he
would pass anywhere for his better
known brother.
He has two sons who are in the
army, both of whom enlisted as pri-
Yates. One of them, the captain OF
this years University of Chicago foot
ball team, has recently been promoted
to a sergeancy in the ordnance depart
ment. The other boy is in the sani-
tary corps; the newest organization
of the army.
Pershing is a cOngenial, "hail-fel-
low-well-met" sort of a man, and he
is most enthusiastic over the west
particularly Arizona. His home is in
Chicago.

whelming majorities of both houses of
congress. When such a decision has
been made the duties-and therefore
the rights-of all the people of the
country Immediately change. 1t be-
comes their duty - stop discussion on
the question decided and TO act, to
proceed Immediately to do everything
in their power TO enable the governor
of their country to succeed in the war
upon which the country has entered
Contempt Earned
"A nation which declares war and
soes on discussing whether it ought
TO have declared war or not is impo-
tent, paralysized, imbecile and earns
the contempt of mankind and the
certainty of humiliating defeat and
subsection - foreign control. A de-
mocracy which cannot accept its own
decisions, made in accordance with its
own laws but must keep on endlessly
discussing the question already decid
ed, has failed in the fundamental re-
quirements of self-government.
For or Against
But after the decision in favor of
war the only issue left for the individ
ual citizen is whether he is for or
against his country From that time
no arguments against the war in which
the country in engaged are enemy arg
uments Their spirit is the spirit of
rebellion against the government and
laws of the United States. Their ef-
feet is TO hinder and lessen that pop
ular support of the government in car
rying on the war which is necessary
to success. Their manifest purpose is
to prevent action by continuing dis
cussion. They encourage the enemy.
They lend to introduce delay and ir-
resolution into our councils.
Traitors at Heart
The men who are speaking and
writing and printing arguments
against the war now, and agains,
everything that is being done to carry
on the war, are rendering more effec-
tive service 10 Germany than they
could render in the field with arms
in their hands. The purpose and effect
of what they are doing is so plain that
it is impossible to resist the conclu-
sion that the greater part of them are
at heart traitors to the United States
and wilfully seeking to bring about
the triumph of Germany and the hui
initiation and defeat of their own
country"

AGREEMENT Upon
WAR TAX BILL IS
PROMISED SOON
House and Senate Conferees
Meet and gree on Practical
ly Half of the Changes
Made by the Latter Body.
(Ry Review Leased Mirel

WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. Agree
ment upon about one-half of the rev.
enue levies in the $2,461, 100000 war
tax bill was reached today by the
senate and house conferees in their
first days work. Such rapid progress
was made that the principal disputes
were narrowed to the war profits and
postage sections, foreshadowing COM
plete agreement early next week.
Conclusions Tentative
While conclusions of the conferees
are only said to be tentative there is
little probability of further change in
the sections passed over. The commit
tees sessions are secret, at the re.
quest of Representative Kitchin, but
i: is reliably stated that the results
of the first meeting included:
Adoption of the income tax normal
and sur-tax rates virtually as revised
by the senate and designed to raise
sS42, 100000 additional revenue
Elimination of the house provision
levying a one-third increase On 1916
taxes, retroactive assessment from
which 10S,O00,OO0 in revenue was to
be raised.
Partial Approval
Partial approval of the tobacco sec
ton as revised downward by the sen
ate to raise S56,6OO.OyU as against $685.
100000 proposed by the house.
Adoption of the Intoxicating bever-
age section virtually as revised up
ward by the senate to raise S207, 00O,-
600 as compared with S151, 100000
proposed by the house.
Approve Utility Tax
Approval of virtually all senate
changes in the section taxing public
utilities, including the per cent levy
on freight transportation, the assess
ment on passenger transportation re-
duced from s75,000,OO0 to $37 800, 600;
the taxes on Pullman accommodations,
pipe line transportation and telegraph
and telephone messages costing over
fifteen cents.
The house conferees also agreed to
the elimination of their provisions for
levying s3O,OOO,OO0 on electric light.
gas and local telephone service and
s5,OOO,O00 on issuance of insurance
policies.
War Profits Question
The war profits probably will be
the last settled. Some members pre-
dicted an increase in its total revenue
provisions of at least s100,0OO,O00 and
adoption of compromise calculation

Whiskey and Vine
Dumped Into Bay
(By Review Leased Wire)


DOUGLAS, Sept. 14.-More than
five hundred carloads of whiskey and
champagne and other wines, valued at
$3,50O,OO0 were dumped into the bay
at Guaymas, Sonora, under orders of
the state authorities on August % last,
according to a statement today by Ives
G. Lelevier, Mexican consul mere.
Photographs of the scenes attending
the confiscation and destruction of the
liquor, together with the official no.
LITIGATION of the act, were received by
the consul this morning.
Accumulation
The beverages thrown into the
ocean were the Accommodations of
shipments to Sonora seized by the
state since the abolition OF the liquor
traffic on January 1, 1915. and the
stocks on hand which were taken over
when the prohibition decree became
effective. Every government ware
house in the state has been emptied
of liquor, it is declared, and the infor
nation to Mr.. Lelevier says that, so
far as the authorities are aware, there
is not a drop of intoXicants in the
state.
Gales Determined
The message to the consul said that
P. Elias Gales, still the chief author
ity in Sonora. is determined that
liquor never again shall be sold in the
state or be permitted to come within
its borders.
