motor BUS lines
TO PAY HIGHER TAX

The motor bus lines operating sight
seeing buses about Washington and to
Mount Vernon are to be made to pay
tax Of per cent on each passenger
carried, the internal revenue bureau
announced today.
The bureau ruled that these
motor bus lines are in direct COMPETE
ton with rail and water carriers. and
as such should be made to pay the
same tax imposed on rail and water
carriers. The case of these transpor-
tation companies has been held up for
more than two years pending decision
by the bureau, and they will now have
to pay back taxes retroactive to Octo-
her, 1917.
Proprietors of the bus lines have held
the view that passengers in their veh1-
cles have been receiving transportation
of an educational nature, contending
that the majority of passengers are
visitors to Washington, and. as such,
receive information of an educational
nature while touring the city, the gov
eminent departments and adjacent
places in the motor buses. The bureau
in it's opinion held that the motor bus
lines are in direct competition as COM
mon carriers with rail and water lines.
and as such should pay the 8 per cent
tax levied on such carriers.

Forced to Testify.

MEXICO CITY. June 2s.-Indians,
examined with regard to their prevl-
Gus testimony in the case of William
0. Jenkins. former American consular
agent at Puebla, testified today that
they were suspended in the air. struck
and threatened with death by shoot
ing until they agreed to testify
against Jenkins, according to a Pueb-
la dispatch to Ell Universal this even
ing. Jenkins was kidnapped by the
bandit Federico Cordova last fall and
later was charged with completely in
his own capture.
Before Third Criminal Court.
The testimony is being heard before
the third criminal court of Puebla.
1gnacio Vasquez, former secretary of
ene second criminal court, declared
court papers were stolen to damage
the case against Jenkins, and the
judge was deposed when he was about
to free the American. The bandit
Cordova was cross examined for four
hours today. but his testimony was
not disclosed.
Interviewed in Mexico City last
night on his arrival from Puebla,
Cordova said he had kidnapped Jen-
kins. but that the latter was not an
accomplice.
Carranza Agents Accused.
The agents of the Carranza govern
ment, Cordova asserted, had made at
tempts to induce him to testify the
KIDNAPPING was the result of a scheme
between himself and Jenkins, but he
had declined to make such a state
ment.
Any declarations purporting to come
from him accusing Jenkins of being
implicated in his capture Cordova as
serted, were pure fabrications.
