by the private automobilist. On re-

$500 or more. Such is the demand

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. IA
Luis Cabrera. secretary of the Mexi-
can treasury, discussing the eco.
nomic conditions in Mexico in his
annual report to congress, details
of which have reached Washington
through official channels, declares
that there is no reason for extra
ordinary optimism or for black
pessimism, !" He estimates the reve-
nue. for the year 1919 at 149,3S4,-
600 pesos, although President Car
rama, in his message to congress
September 1, 1919, estimated it at
162, 900, 900, basing his estimate on
the returns for the ten months from
September, 1918, to June, of this
year. The revenue for 1920 is es-
timated at $1,000, 900 pesos.
In submitting this report to the

BISHOP DEFENDS
PRIZE FIGHTING
ISSUES CHALLENGE TO FIGHT
FIVE ROUNDS FOR
CHARITY

LONDON, Nov, 15.-Bishop Nc
Laglen of Claremont, South Africa,
has sent to the All Sports Weekly
an offer to box any bishop five
rounds for a fund for disabled sol
diers and adds that, to aid in max
ing the match. he will extend the
offer to any editor of any paper of
his own age. The Bishop is 6S'
years old!
He is the father of Captain Vic
tor McLaglen, who is now training
to box Joe Beckett, for the Ions
dale heavyweight championship
belt.
The Bishops offer was prompted
apparently by his indignation at
something the newspaper had
printed concerning his son

ing that a mar who chooses to fight

often been in a more critical con-
dition. He estimates that the i'm
port dues for the year at 10000. 900
pesos as against 25,000,000 last
year; export dues at 100000 as
against $4,000. 900 last year., the
loss being due, it is believed, to
plans for reducing export duties,
considered economically unsound,
to encourage industry and foreign
investments; mining tax dues at
100000 as against 100000
last year; and the federal taxes at
$4,000, 600 as against 31,00O.0OO
last year. No mention is made of
the e derived from foreign
and domestic properties seized by
the Carranza government although
last veal they gave 100000 pesos
to the government. The oil tax
is given at 100000 pesos, the
same as last year. although the Am
erican companies paid $4,000 900
pesos in ten months of last year.
1t is pointed out in the advices
from Mexico City that these are
merely estimates, as statistics are
not available on which to base an
accurate statement as to the real re-
turns. 1t is probable that it will be
some time before such statistics are
available but President Carranza in
his message to congress last month
admitted for the first time that the
deficit for 1917 was $4,000, 900
pesos and for 1918, $4,000 900
pesos. 1t is also pointed out, as an
example of the untrustworthiness of
Mexican official estimates, that for
the period for which Cabrera now

600 pesos, Rafael Nieto, when act
ing head of the treasury. submitted
an official estimate that the reye-
nues would be $472,0 00, 900 pesos.

MANY OBSTACLES MET
IN RUNNING RUSS
RAILROADS
THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATOR
FINDS MUCHs OBJECTION TO
MODERN METHODS

OMSK. Nov. 15.-John F. Stevens
of Chicago, administrator of the
Trans-Siberian railway, has expert
enced difficulty in his efforts, with
the aid of an inter-allied committee.
to convert the Trans-Sberian rail-
road into an efficient railway sys-
tenn. Seven months have now elapsed
since he became its administrator.
One of the most serious obstacles
he encountered was the insurmount-
able objection to modern methods of
railroading, on the part Of Russians
in places of authority. The system
of car distribution has proved a
stumbling block which precluded
any marked improvement in carry
ing capacity. If it were possible to
conceive one of Americas great
transcontinental systems with local
committees in each state traversed,
committees of politicians in no man
ner identified with the actual rail
way management, vested with au-
thority to distribute freight cars as
they choose without any control by
the railway management, one might
find a parallel with the actual sitn-
ation in Siberia.
To obtain a car a shipper must
arply to the committee in control in
his district, comply with money ,e-
quirements which have nothing at
all to do with the hauling charges,
and wait his turn. Every avenue
s open to exercise of %favoritism in
the matter of distribution. 1t Is no
secret that the supply of Ears is
manipulated so as to keep the
price up. Nothing that AR. Stew
ems or the inter-allied committee
has beer able to do has had any
effect in abating this practice. TIE
result naturally has be,al to run up
prices of every commodity to r:dicu-
lous figures and to stimulate specu-
latiOn.
Another factor working against
greater efficiency is the arbitrary
power of those in control to place
an embargo on movement of any
class of merchandise at will.
Passenger traffic is paralyzed by
the fact that thousands of ears are
occupied by Russian and foreign
delegations of many sorts who live
in them months on end and whom
the committee has no power to evict.
Representatives of one nation alone
are said on good authority to oc-
cupy 500 first class passenger cars
and 1900 officers cars besides up
ward of $4,000 box cars.
Trains other than the Siberian
Express are few and irregular.
There is an abundance of locomo-
tives and of box cars, according to
best information. The only requis-
lite is to put them to use free from
present restrictions.

usual procedure is to start aiter

9 o'clock the following morning.
Then, after q light breakfast he re-
tires to bed-for the remainder o.
the day.
"A fondness for strange pets is
one of his characteristics. Some
years ago he tanned a small sala-
mander and kept it three years. On
its death d'Annunzio burst into
tears. 1t was solemnly buried under

was based formerly On a continuous
stream of capital from abroad, this
not being open to us at
present except in a very limited
way"
Secretary Cabrera says the i'm
ports for the first four months of
the year amounted to $4,000, 900
pesos. as against $4,000, 900, in the
corresponding period last year. The
exports show a decrease from 1922
100000 pesos from the first four
months of 1918 to 1O8,50O, 900 for
corresponding period this year.
Mexican experts point out that this
means that the balance of trade was
so favorable to Mexico because of
the crying need of the world for
raw products which to a large e
tent still exists through the recon
struction days following the war,
but that Mexico is unable to take
advantage of these conditions be-

The report caused some disap-
pointment because it did not indi-
cate what steps will be taken to
meet the currency situation result
ing from the increase in the price
of silver. The subsidiary coinage,
which under the best conditions was
never great in Mexico, is now leav-
ing the country rapidly. Construct
i've suggestions were expected from
the secretary of the treasury to meet
this great financial problem con-
fronting the government.
Secretary Cabrera regrets that it
has not been possible to resume pay

explains this by the statement that
