as result of the extGnded visit here
of Handley Page, the famous Engl sh

Rumor has been busy for several
weeks with the presence of Handley

reports that that city was to be made
a great "air port" In the meantime

MANY AMERICANS
SEEK PROTECTION
URGE CAUTION UPON STATE DE-
PARTMENT IN RECOGNIZING
MEXICAN REBELS.

Washington. - Caution in extend
ing recognition or support to any
Mexican faction instrumental in the
overthrow OF Carranza was urged up
on the State Department by represen-
tatives of Industrial groups having In.
terests in Mexico, and former diplo-
mats. Definite assurances of tne Mex
lean party now in power as to it's at
titude toward foreigners and foreign
investments should be first obtained,
1t was said.
Among those who conferred with
Secretary Colby were former Am
bassador Henry Lane Wilson, former
Charge d'Affaires Nelson OS'haugh-
messy, E. L. Doheny, representing
Tampfco oil industries; Harold Walk
ar of the Mexican Petroleum Com
pany; Cornelious Kelly, Anaconda
Copper Company; William Loeb, Jr.,
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, George Carnahan and Frederick
Watrous, representing various agricul-
tural enterprises, and Burton Wilson,
representing banking interests.
State Department officials were re-
,Quested to advise American interests
to whom in Mexico they should pay
current taxes
The question at issue is OF more
immediate concern to the oil produc-
ers than to the mining men or other
operators in Mexico. 1t was said that
until some more definite ruling is re-
ceived, exporters of oil or mine prod
ucts may be asked to pay their taxes
either to the authorities actually in
control at the ports or to the de facto
authorities in the national capital.
The oil interests represented by
Doheny are confronted with an i'm
mediate decision regarding the pay
ment of more than $2,000,000 in taxes
For several years practically all oil
producers in the Tampico region have
paid tribute to Manuel Palace, but
federal taxes have been paid in Next
co City as a matter of convenience.
The law and custom of Mexico pro-
vide that they shall be paid at the fed
eral tax office at Tampico.

WAVE OF PRICE
CUTTING EXISTS
CITIES FROM MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
TO PACIFIC COAST REPORT
REDUCTIONS.

Chicago. - A wave of price cutting
In retail clothing costs reaching from
the Mississippi valley to the Pacific
Coast was reported. Dispatches from
"A cities told of promised reductions
in these necessities ranging from 10
per cent to minus profit.
Financial authorities here said in
dications were that the price decline
would be limited to ready-to-wear
clothing, principally women's gar
ments and silks. Shoes were in the
list.
Tight money and inadequate trans
portation facilities were cited among
the principal reasons for the reduc-
tons. Delays in delivery of goods in
which much money has been tied up,
together with inability of farmers to
get grain and live stock to market
were said to have worked a hardship
on merchants.
An officer of a leading department
store of Chicago declared the price
reduction meant also that merchants
were trying to satisfy what ne called
"a hysterical demand from the public
for lower prices" These current re-
auctions, he said, might only be tenn
porary.
A financial authority here said that
If reports nf price cutting were de-
pendable they indicated a tendency
toward a reduction in inventories.
Though this might be temporary, he
said, it was undoubtedly good, be-
cause it suggested fhat merchants
were going ahead more cautiously.
Sales are being held under various
names. In Topeka, Kan, u mems
clothing firm announced mo profit
SALE" declaring that 1t would back its
promise at the end of the sale by let
ting the fair price commissioner or
committee take possession of its books
and accounts.

vertised undertaking campaigns"
Twenty per cent cuts were the most
popular.
On the Pacific coast, Tacoma deal
ers announced cuts from 20 per cent
fiat to "proftless Sales" declaring that
on some women's garments prices
were cut practically in half.

MEASURE. MAY STOP
TEACHER SHORTAGE
SENATOR poUsSAN OF LUTcHER
WOULD FILL EMPTY RANKS
BY SCHOLARSHIPS.
WILL LIMIT SCHOLARSHIP
Could Be Given To Young Men and
Women Who Had PROVED Them
selves Worthy Could Be Placed
BY State Board.

Baton Rouge. - A bill designed TO
help solve Louisiana's problem of de-
veloping corps CT efficient teachers,
great enough in number to really meet
the educs tional needs of the state, will
be introduced in the Senate in the
near future by Senator J. +. Doussan
of Lutcher
The measure will authorize the po-
lice juries of the various parishes to
allot scholarships in institutions ap-
proved by the State Board of Educa-
tion TO young men and women who
agree, after they have finished their
course, TO spend a fixed period of
years as teachers in the schools of
the state.
Under Senator Doussan's plan, the
period whic hthey would be required
to spend teaching would be fixed at
from two to five years The exact
length of time will be decided by him
and designated in the bill.
The number of scholarships that
might be issued probably will be linn
tied in the bill to one from each ward
and three at large from each parish.
The expenditures involved would be
paid for out OF the general fund of the
individual parishes.
Under the plan." said Senator
Doussan, the individual parishes
could determine for themselves just
what number of the scholarships II
was entitled to should De Issued. Some
of the parishes might want to issue
all allowed them, others might want to
issue only one or two, depending on
the state of their finances.
THE scholarships could be given TO
young men and women who had prov
ed themselves worthy and they could
be placed in any institution of learn
ing approved by the State Board of
Education.
The institution might be located
anywhere in the country and 1t might
be Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian
o ra non-sectarian institution This
would enable the student, under GER
tain regulations, to attend college or
Institution Of his family's liking.
AT the present time, one Of Louis
iana's greatest problems is that of OBJ
tanning enough efficient teachers to
meet its needs. This plan should help
out materially in this, for each stud
eint accepting one of the scholarships
would promise to return after training
was completed and teach in the
schools of the parish from which he
was given the scholarship for a GER
tain number of years"
