p Mexico City, May % - Venustiano
Carranza, deposed president of Mexico,
with six members of his party, has
been killed near the town of Tlax-
calga-Tongo, in the state of Puebla,
according to advices to headquarters
of Both Generals Alvaro Obregon and
Pablo Gonzales here last night.
Reports at revolutionary headquar-
ters did not name the six members of
the deposed presidents party who
were killed.
Earlier dispatches, however, said
Luis Cabrera, Carranzas minister Of
the treasury; Juan Barranga, his chief
of staff; Aguirre Berlanga. prime
minister, and Ignacio Bonillas, former
ambassador to the United States, were
with their chief.
The killing of the president, Pelaez's
advices said, was the result of plot
laid by Barrera and about so of his
followers.
Carranza was the first to fall, it was
said. Then his followers were report
ed killed one by one 1t was believed
the majority of Carranza's cabinet
members. who were with him, were
among the dead. General Murguia,
formerly in command of Carranza
forces in the federal district of Mexico

with the deposed president.

suit in the Mason Circuit Court today
against George Nj. Antle, ct. ais, in
cluding the Executor of the last will of
the decedent, all of his heirs and bene-
fciaries in which she asks Judgment
against the estate of the late Thomas
j. Winter for the sum of $4,000 with
interest from September l, 1919.
The plaintiff states that at the spe-
cial instance and request of the deced-
ent, she performed for him valuable
services, nursing and caring for and
cooking, washing and ironing for him
during period of two years and long
er, which services were well worth the
sum of S25 week and for which sum
the decedent promised and agreed to
make provision in his will covering
for the said services. She says the de-
cedent failed to make such payment to
her in the will or otherwise and that
she has not received anything for the
services on the promises made by the
late Thomas ]. Winter.
She says the services we're we'll
worth the sum of $4,000 with interest
from September 1, 1919, and that the
same is just debt against the estate
of the decedent.
The plaintiff prays that process is
sue against the persons named as de-
PENDANTS or that Warning Order Attor-
ney be appointed and that they may
be required to present their several de-
mands, if they have any, that so much
of the property of the estate as may be
necessary be subjected to the payment

TAXPAYERS RECEIVE NOTICE.
OF ASSESSMENT INCREASES
Board of Supervisors Complete a Part
Of the City and Send out Notices
To Hundreds.

The City Board of Tax Supervisors
placed in the bands of Chief of Police
Harry A. Ort today official notices to
hundreds of property owners in the
West End of the city notifying them of
increases in their tax assessment and
giving them an opportunity to appear
before the board next week to show
cause why their assessment should not
be placed on the city's tax duplicate at
the increased figures indicated in the
notice upon which the board has al
ready agreed
1t has been unofficially talked about
the streets for the past week that the
present Board of Tax Supervisors was
making sweeping changes i'm the tax
assessment as returned to the City AS
SCISSOR by the property owners them
selves, increasing the city's assess
ment by thousands of dollars but it
was not known that their action was
so far reaching until the large stack
of official notices was turned over to
the head of the police department.
Patrolmen began work this after
noon of delivering to the property
owners these official notices and it is
expected that the Mayors office, which
is the meeting place of the board will
be beiseiged with tax payers next week
protesting against the large increases
made.

Big MOVING PICTURE MAN TO
INSPECT BAND HERE SUNDAY
Publicity Man for Select Pictures will
Be Here Sunday Afternoon to Hear
Boys Band Concert and Com
plete Trip Plans.

Word was received here this morn
ing that Mr.. James Currier, general
Publicity Manager for the Select Pic
lures Corporation, would make a spe-
cial trip to Maysville Sunday for the
purpose of attending the concert given
by the Boys Band in the Washington
Theater. This is an inspection trip and
Mr.. Currier by hearing the boys play
will be enabled to properly prepare
the publicity matter for their Ohio
trip which will be under his personal
supervision.
Mr.. Currier will remain over until
Monday when he will complete all
plans for the big trip for which the
members of the band have been look
ing forward for many months. Already
quite number of Ohio cities have
made application for the Boys Band
and the big feature picture which they
will accompany. They will play in
some of the leading cities of Ohio and
after hearing the band play Sunday it
is more than likely Mr.. Curriers' ad-
vertising matter will be so strength
ened that many others will sign up for
the big Select Picture and the band.
Members of the band will certainly
be at their best in Sunday afternoons
concert for while it is their first pub
lie concert of the season, they will also
have in mind the fact that the man

HEALTH INSPECTION SHOWS
SCHOOL IN GOOD CONDITION
First District School Inspection Com

Well Pleased.

On Thursday and Friday the Health
Department carried out it's Health In
spection at the First District School
There were 106 scholars present for
the examination.
Three fourths of the children we're
up to or above the normal height and
one half up to or above the normal
weight. There were twenty-five schol-
ars that had no physical defects which
is more &an twice the number Gin per-
centage) that was found in recent
examination in the Sixth ward school,
SiXty-eight of the one hundred and six
had defective teeth These children
should spend little time with a dem
tist this summer. Only eight per cent.
of the pupils had defective vision,
which is much better than the twenty
seven per cent. found in the Sixth
Ward School The prominent defect
noted in the First District school was
diseased tonsils. Nineteen children are
handicapped by this trouble. 1t is of
interest to recall that we have had
more cases of diphtheria during the
past year in this school than in any
other school in the city. Diseased ton
sils lower the resistance Ct the body
against such diseases as diphtheria
The environment of the school in
cluding the playground, sanitary con-
ditions, heat, light and ventilation are

NEW CELERY T

The gardener who has plenty of
irrigation water, especially the city
gardener whose space for gardening
is small will find the New Celery Gull
ture good. A. F. Yeager, Horticul-
at the North Dakota Agricul-
tural College, explains this method of
raising celery as follows: Fertilize
the ground very heavily with manure
work it up we'll, then set the celery
plants 6 to 8 inches apart each way.
Cultivate we'll and keep we'll watered
When this celery grows larger it will
entirely shade the ground and at the
same time shade it's own stalks, in
that way blanching itself. A spot
eight feet square this way will pro-
duce twelve dozen punches of celery.
Figure it out.
