PAY TAX TO REBELS

Washington, April so.-Americans doing business in the state of Sonora and other parts of Mexico controlled by the revolutionists have been au- thorized to pay taxes and customs duties to the de facto authorities.
 This authorization it was explained today at the state department. is in accordance with recognized principle of international law and does not amount to recognition of de facto government. The principle has been observed on several occasions in Mex ico, notably when the Carranza revo- luton started and his forces obtained control of the ports. Inability of the recognized government of Mexico to collect duties and taxes in territory held by the revolutiorists. it was said cannot be permitted to interfere with regular commercial transactions.
 The state department received an exhaustive report today on conditions in Vera Cruz from an American in that city. The repors urged that war ships be kept in readiness for dispatch to Vera Cruz should the need arise. Although Vera Cruz was said to be Guiet, possibilities of trouble there were described as great
 Official advices today from various parts of Mexico indicate steady growth of the revolutionary movement and rapid co-ordination with the So nora revolt or many of the rebel Lands which have been operating in- cral Obregon taking the field in per- son for an attack on Mexico City was forecast in these reports which said that the rebels of Michaocan.

Mobile, April 3O.-That Mobile and
 other points in the Mississippi Valley and the southeast are to be given large
 rate advance under the amended long

 Railroads now propose to advance the
 rate from Chicago to Mobile on first
 class matter from s1.5715 to s2N a hun
 dred pounds, according to Mir. Cobb. In June, 1918, the rate was s1l This raise, together with proportionate raises to otbe. noints in the southeast, was pre- sented to shippers in Chicago. com' mittee of nine shippers was named there and will meet at Memphis to further consider the proposal. If these rates are permitted to go into effect. says NIT. Cobb. they probably will drive much or the business to the Mississippi rlver'
