Paris, Feb. S,---The peace council
committee on the league of nations is
wrestling with q problem so serious
as to threaten the whole structure of
the league SO far as its practical and
resultful application goes. The issue
has arisen over the matter of COM
pulsory arbitration.
This principle late this afternoon
appeared to have met with so many
objections as to make its retention in
the constitution of the league dubious.
Without the inclusion of this feature
the league would largely revert to the
status of mere moral force divorced
from the methods whereby its judg
ments could be executed.
The Americans and British through
out the negotiations have agreed that
some form of universal arbtrament
was essential to the successful opera
ton of world society, since upon the
decisions of arbitration would rest the
use of coercion in bringing about the
fulflment of its DEGREES. Without a
system for compelling disputants to
submit the issues to the central body
there would be no organized and final
ruling possible and the use of force
would become % matter of individual
election instead of combined action.
President PreSides.
President Wilson presided over a
full meeting of the league committee
tonight for the purpose of develop
ing an expedient to take the place of
the clause in question, which has been
generally regarded as part of the
principle and the binding medium of
the whole plan.
1t is n noticeable fact that as prin-
ciples of the league become more
vague in the reduction to a working
formula they command a wider sup
port, which would indicate a willing

MEXICO TO ASK

 FROM INVASION
Mexico Can Take Care of All Border Towns Without Aid From U. s. Army, Message
 Of BoniIIaS to Washington

MEXICO CITY, July 2.-Ygnacio Bonillas, Mexican ambassador to the United States, on his return to Wash ington, will ask for an agreement from the White House that no American troops be sent across the border and and that the United States institute measures that will absolutely prevent the smuggling of arms and ammuni- tion to rebels in northern Mexico, it was learned officially today.
 Decision to make these requests was reached at conference Senor Bonil- las had with the foreign affairs de- pertinent before his departure for the United States.
 The ambassador has been authoriz- ed to state that the Mexican govern ment has sufficient means to prevent harm to American border towns in any possible fighting without aid from the United States.
 It was also learned from unofficial, but reliable sources that General Can, dido Aguilar. who is on a journey to the United States and Europe as President Carranza's confidential am- bassador, carries no authority to make agreements binding on the Mex lcan government, but is making the trip simply to secure information which would aid the Mexican govern ment in fixing it's foreign policy.

COPPER CO. TAX SUITS DISMISSED
 BYSTATE COURT
Holds An Appeal Cannot Be Taken From the State Tax Commission to a County
 Court; Judge Ross DiSSentS

PHOENIX, July 2.-The state su- preme court late today reversed and dismissed the Inspiration Consolidat- ed Copper Company and the Interna- tional Smelling Company tax suits, the judgment being a victory for the Arizona tax commission.
 The corporation had appealed against the valuations placed on their properties and appealed to the Gila county superior court. Here the as- sessments were reduced and the state and Gila county appealed to the state supreme court, todays de- cision being the result.
 'The decisions of the state su- preme court in these two suits are of the greatest importance to the state,' said Charles R. Howe of the tax commission tonight An oppo- site decision would have thrown the state into >the same condition which existed before statehood was attain ed and before any centralized tax au- thority existed.
 "The decision that an appeal can not be taken from state tax com mission to county court is highly gratifying to the commission, not that we object to review, but that reviews, in county courts would mill tate against the efficiency of the state tax commission
 The decision of the supreme court handed down today was written by Chief Justice Cunningham and con- cured in by Justice A. c. Baker, with Justice Ross dissenting in his view that he does not believe the law allows an appeal to the supreme court in a case of this sort
 The majority of the court held that under the existing law there is no appeal whatever from decisions on assessments made by the state tax commission on these types of prop erty, and, for that reason, the case was remanded to the Gila county su- perior court, where it originated, with instructions to sustain the orig inal demurrer and dismiss the cases.
 The value of the Inspiration Con- solidated mines set by the Gila county assessor in 1917 was held to be too low by the tax commission, which used the method of valuation by so-called intangible assets" which took into consideration the earnings of the properties. The as-

SACK ITALIAN
 TOWN IN RIOTS
MObS Wreck Stores, Seize Food and Distribute it
 AtIHaIf Price

FORLI, Italy, July (By The As. sociated Press) After a great meet ing here yesterday in which a vast crowd protested against the high cost of living, the people, excited by inflammatory speeches, attacked, sacked and destroyed many shops which refused to sell commodities at lower prices.
 The fury of the mob made no dis tinction. and had no limits. All the principal shops were plundered and the mobs terrorized the entire city They took possession of lorries and transported all kinds of goods and food supplies from the pillaged shops to the chamber of labor On the walls of this chamber they wrote: 'These goods are at the disposal of the people"
 The situation grew. worse during the day assuming a revolutionary character, and the mob continued to loot and destroy all kinds of prop erty.
 The value of the goods stored by the municipality was estimated at S,000,000 lire. The proprietors of those shops which escaped sacking brought their keys to the municipal which is composed of Socialists and Republicans, and they ordered that the shops be reopened and the goods sold for half price under the super, vision of representatives of the dem- onstrating masses.
 Despite this apparent return to or der in the riotous movement, the movement, the losses are enormous owing to the destruction of shop fit tings and commodities which could not be easily transported, such as gasoline, which was burned in great quantities.

 Commander Read predicted that in the future long distance planes would be much larger than the NC boats, which have a wing spread of 126 feet, and that gearing down the propellor to ob- tain greater efficiency in con- tinuous drive of gasoline motors will solve much of the present en- zine trouble experienced on long flights.
 Regarding the radio, the re-, suits obtained by the radio diff cer on the NC-4 undoubtedly broke many previous records" said Read. "He sent messages over 700 miles, He heard Bos. ton talking over 1000 nautical miles. He copied a long message sent from the George Washing ton when approaching Brest, France, from 1175 miles away. He heard stations calling other stations 1900 miles away"

VILLA ORDERED
 ALL AMERICANS HANGED, REPORT
Tried to Kill His Own Brother For Letting Two Americans Escape; Lopez Points Pistol At Villa, Calling Him Liar"

FL PASO, July 2.-Francisco Villa, enraged because American troops drove him from Juarez, ordered his rebels to hang every American they caught, sent a detachment to Villa Ahumada to hang two Americans be- ieved to have been there, and finding them gone. threatened to kill his brother, Hipol:to Villa, who was sick at Villa Ahurhada, Donald B. Best declared today after his arrival from Mexico Best, a British subject, owns a large store at Villa Ahumada.
 With A. M. Penney, an American, I left Villa Ahumada June 13 for the border after Villa had footed my store and home" Mr. Best said. 'T return ed to Villa Ahumada June 27, after Villa left there for San Lorenzo, and was told by my native storekeeper, the municipal pIesidente, Manual Or tega, and a nraber of townspeople that Villa sent a guard to kill Penney and l and, later, rode to my house in person apparently for the same pur- pose. He ordered my Mexican store keeper to stop working for me, think ing l was all American, and threat ened to kill him if he continued in my employ. He said then he was going to hang all the Americans he caught and was looking fo~ me to make the first example of this policy.
 Orders Telegraph Hangings
 Villa also told the storekeeper that Penney and I knew the Americans intended firing on his troops and had left for the border to escape him. This seemed to anger him all the more. That was on J;.ne IT., the same day he ordered all his soldiers to kill Ameri- cans as soon as captured, not to bring them before him, out to hang them to the nearest telegraph pole"
 Best said Hip0lito Villa was se- riously ill in the Best home in Villa Ahumada when Villa threatened him and the leaders brother was forced to leave in a small cart for the Ojinaga district to save his life. Villa and his band footed the Best store of 1000 pesos in cash and 5000 pesos worth of goods and also robbed his residence, he said. The Villa rebels footed the Erupcion mine and warehouse, carry ing off everything portable and smash ing valuable assay scales. The mine

 ITALY VICTIMS

BORGO SAN LORENZO, Italy, July ? (By The Associated Press) ).- This city. wrecked by earthquake Sunday, resembles a town in devas- tated districts of France after an arr tillery bombardment. The cathedral is in ruins. Hundreds of homes and shops have been shaken down. Some of these, still habitable after the ma jor shocks. fell down during the la- ter earth tremors.
 Many people are living in tents Military authorities have been un- able to induce the bakers and the shopkeepers to return to their places of business becaues of the unsafe condition of the buildings. In the bakeshops many of the ovens were cracked by the earthquake Hardly a house was undamaged There ap- pears to be little acute suffering, but there isi great demand for clothing and food which are in charge of the military authorities.
 The local administration and busi. ness are disorganized and the inhabi- tants are giving free rein to the mili- tary authorities who are distributing relief.
 The first supply truck reached here Monday morning in charge of an American Y. M. c. A. staff un- der Harry Hobart of Tucson, Ariz.
 He told the Associated Press cor. respondent that when he arrived he was literally mobbed by the hungry people. He said the scramble for food was such that members of the Y. M. c. A. force mounted wall and tossed the food to the people be- cause they could not hold them back on the ground.
 We offered our help to the Ital- ian command at Florence" said Ho- bart, "who accepted it. We then loaded our trucks with all the goods in our Florento canteen and started out behind a truckload of soldiers. Although not the first truck to ar rive, ours was the first with supplies. We have maintained a regular service from Florence since Monday morn ing"
