Nevada Man Is

Envoy Tells Committee
Carranza Rule Is in No
Danger of Overthrow

WASHINGTON, July 2o-Althouph
about fifty American citizens have been
killed or outraged in Mexico since 1917
not a single arrest or conviction is
known to have resulted, Henry P.
Fletcher. United States Ambassador to
Mexico. to-day told the House Rules
committee, in hearing of the Gould
resolution proposing appointment of a
Congressional committee to investi-
gate relations between the two coun.
tries.
The Ambassador also laid before the
committee a report compiled by the
State Department in response to a
Senate resolution. showing that since
the close of the Diaz regime about ESQ
attacks of a serious nature have been
made on American citizens in Mexico.
American Citizen Kidnapped
Another development to- day was the
receipt of news by the State Depart
ment that Lawrence l.. Shiplev. an
American citizen, was kidnapped BY
Mexican bandits near Fresnillo, Mex
co, last Saturday. Shipley is native
of Yerington, Nevada
The report, coming as It did. closely

and the receipt Of information vester-
day Of the robbery of about $4,000
nom the Puerto Lobos station OF the
Atlantic Refining Company, added to
the tension in official circles resultino
citizens and property in the Southern
republic.
Carranza Rules Firmly
Ambassador Fletcher, in his testi-
mony before the House committee, said
Americans by Mexicans the relations
between the two countries have i'm
proved during the last three years. He
ADDED that there was a "wonderful sub
mission" to the Carranza rule in all
the sections which the government
controls.
Although declining to express an
opinion as to the policy either past or
future, of this country toward Mex
leo, the ambassador in effect opposed
suggestions advanced by members of
the committee looking to withdrawal
by the United States of recognition of
the Carranza government.
Such a step. he said, would only in
crease the existing unfriendly feeling
of Mexicans toward Americans.
Another hearing will be held bv the
committee tomorrow. at which Mrs.
John ". Correll, of Oklahoma, whose
husband was recently murdered near
Tampico, and a number of former
American residents of Mexico, will ap
pear.

Income Act Must Wait

ALBANY, July 22.-No extra session
of the Legislature to correct defects
IN the state income tax law will be
called, Governor Smith decided to- dav.
IL am Of the opinion that no emer-
gency sufficient to warrant an extra
session has been presented" he said
after another conference with state Of
nclals, together with Speaker Thaddeus
=. Sweet and Senator j. Henry Walters.
The statute in its main features is
ali right" continued the Governor,
and whatever its defects, they are Of
such minor character they can be
corrected after January 1. do not
think anything can be gained by an
extra session.
The only question involved is over
the right of the state to tax the in
comes of non-residents. There is no
use IN our trying to straighten out the
nonresident section now. The right of
the state to tax the incomes of non
residents is the question involved in
the test case of the Oklahoma state
income tax law, which is now pending
before the United States Supreme
Court, and which will not be decided
before next December. Should the Su-
preme Court decide against that right
the entire section would have to be
thrown out. |, therefore, consider that
1t would be a waste of time and ex-
pense for the Legislature to be called
upon to act now

Victims OF PROPAGANDA.

Washington, d. C.-Persons buying
clothing and other articles now for next
year because they think prices will be
higher are victims of a mischievous
propaganda, and are only helping to
keep prices high, according to Attor-
ney General Palmer. "There seems to
be an organized propaganda promoted
by dealers to frighten persons into
making purchases now that ordinarily
would not be made until next year."
he said. 1--WE are being told that
prices will be higher next year and
that we can never buy this and that
again at the price now prevailing.
Il do not put any faith in such
alarmist predictions. I believe that
the price of almost every necessity
of life will be cheaper next year than
this. Increased production is going to
effect that result"

carranza Defends Mexico.

Mexico City, Mex.-A defense Of
Mexico against foreign representa-
tions, particularly from the United
States regarding the lives Of foreign
ers and their property was contained
in a message of President Carranza,
read at the opening session of the
Mexican congress here. Particular
reference was made in the message to
alleged injustices practiced against
Mexicans in the United States.
A long list of the alleged offenses
was given under the section of the ad-
dress devoted to foreign relations.
The message also defended Mexico's
neutrality during the war and protest
cd against charges that the Mexican
government was incapable and unwill-
ing to protect foreign lives and prop
erty.
In the message President Carranza
asserted that Mexico did not ask ad-
mission to the league Of nations, be-
cause he said the league did not es-
tablish equality for all nations and
races. He reiterated that Mexico had
not and would not recognize the Mon
roe doctrine.
Regarding OIL legislation, the mes
sage said the government was willing
to conciliate, but would not sacrifice
its national sovereignty.

ing is understood to be under con-
sideration
Prices on all commodities offered

partment is to be discontinued. All
such orders will go directly to the
stores.

post Office department has been asked
to establish sub-stations in each store.

the location of all stores are being
prepared and will be available at

MODEST SCOUTS BRAVE ACT.

Scout Frederick Nelson of Dubuque,
Iowa, aged Is. is deserving of place
on the highest honor roll of Scoutdom
and efforts are being made TO have
his name placed there.
Frederick, who was visiting at Fair
field Iowa, one day heard the screams
of a child coming from the direction
of the river where he had been swim
ming Without hesitation, he plunged
in again and rescued little Bernice
Derry, aged 8, who had been bathing
and got beyond her depth.
The child had gone down for the
third time, but the scout dived, brought
her to the surface and then, assisted
by couple of other lads, brought her
to shore and resuscitated her.
The first that was known in Du-
buque of the lads brave deed was a
letter to the scout executive from the
girls mother, praising the boy and
suggesting that the scout council re-
ward him. 1t is thought he will be
given medal.

RAIL STRIKE At END
TIKUP IN WEST BROKEN BY
ACTION OF HINES.
VOTE TO RETURN TO POSITIONS
Members Of "Big Four" On Sympa-
thetic Walkout, Follow Yardmen
When Ballot ls Taken.

los Angeles.-The 1000 switchmen
and yardmen who had been on strike
here for several days, returned to
work Saturday morning. A vote on
whether or not to return to work was
taken at mass meeting which was
addressed by A. f. Whitney, interna-
tional vice president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen. great
majority of those present favored re-
suming work
This was followed by the four local
brotherhoods. trainmen, conductors,
engineers and firemen, voting by n
two-thirds majority to return to work
at the same time
The members of the four railway
brotherhoodS had been on strike here
for more than week, following a
walkout of yardmen in sympathy with
strike of trainmen Of the Pacific
Electric Urban system.
The action of the men brought to
an end a railroad tieup without pre-
cedent in the history of the west. 1t
caused cancellation of transcontinental
trains, left many points in California
without mails for days and threatened
water famine at desert points de-
pendent on railroad tank cars for their
supplies of that fluid. Threat of Di-
rector General of Railroads Hines to
operate the roads regardless of the
strike is believed to have had much
to do with the men returning to their
jobs.
