SEVEN THOUSAND ADDED
TO THE IDLE IN eTAAdPICO

Mexico City, July president
Obregon said this afternoon that the
most serious problem at Tampico was
the disposal of idle men. He added
that the companies had announced
for today the suspension of 1000
more laborers. The Government poss-
IDLY would take care of all these idle
men in new railway construction and
in irrigation work. Meanwhile the
Government is locating the workmen
who have been ordered to concen-
trate at Altamira, near Tampico,
where the Governor of the State of
Tamaulipas, Senior Lopez de Lara,
has opened Offices.
The President said that the COM
panies continued to refuse to pay the
three months wages which were
clearly defined by the Mexican Labor
law. The Government would help the
workingmen to enforce the law and
would see that the wages due were
paid. The Government had received
reports that the refusal of the oil
companies to pay wages had caused
excitement among the idle men who
depending on this pay to live while
seeking other work.

TO HAVE
IMPORTANT PLACE
IN DISCUSSIONS
fContinued from page II

Continued from page ID
States have delicate issues at stake
and so have various British domin-
ions like Australia and Canada and
New Zealand. The British Empire and
the United States must clear the Pac-
ific of possible trouble before there
can be any progress toward disarm-
summoned by Mr.. Harding is in real
ity a concrete step toward war pre-
|vention-an effort to preserve peace
by going at the roots of trouble while
there is still time and not when the
passions of the peoples are inflamed
by an untoward incident.
Senator Borah's resolution has
been a contributing factor toward the
bringing about of the big conference
but at the same time the President
has gone much further. He has not
limited the meeting to Great Britain,
Japan and the United States as the
Idaho Senator wished. He has asked
Italy and China to join, the former
because she is a member of the Su-
preme Council and the latter because
much of the trouble in the Pacific re-
lates to the commercial rights of
Japan and other foreign governments
including Italy.
In a nutshell the significant state
ment issued here explaining the rela-
tionship between the disarmament
conference and a discussion of the
problems of the Far East is an official
admission that Japan must be reck-
oned with. For many months it has
been apparent that Europe and the
United States were ready for a pro-
gram of limiting ornaments but the
japanese were hesitant. Naturally
they would be when there are many
unsettled questions in the Far East
ALI the way from the dispute over
cable communications at Yap to the
Siberian problem and the difficulties
over equality of commercial oppor-
tunity. The big conference has been
called. however That means much.
But like the Irish peace conference,
it is too early to be over confident of
results. The biggest task is still
ahead-a task left unfinished at Yer
sailles and still unaccomplished-
namely bringing the whole world into
agreement on a program of preserv-
ing peace SO as to make armament
unnecessary.

Attorney General James S. Man

ity upon which the Council of State
may pay the $65O,OOO deficit in the
States public school fund for the

Whether there is authority is not
known at this time but so far the
attorney generals investigations have
not revealed it. Today the Council of
State cannot legally pay this amount
of money to the counties and unless
authority is found the need for a
special session of the Legislature to
provide the way may become imper-
ative.
The deficit is due the counties Of

PLOT TO OVERTHROW BRAND
REPORTED BY A PARIS PAPER

Paris, Monday July 11.-An at
tempt, says today's Matin, is likely
to be made today or tomorrow in the
Chamber of Deputies to obtain an
adverse vote against the BRAND gov

already left Paris for the holidays,
and according to custom they have
left voting cards behind to be used
by the leaders of the groups and the

Matching a plot to use these votes to
obtain a majority against the Gov
errment on the question of an ap-

Turkey.
Premier BRAND has already ex-
planned his policy on this matter be-

Commissions and obtained general
appreciation, but, says the Matin, the
plot is all prepared and may be
launched to manipulate the absent
votes on the eve of the Parliament
ary holiday in such a way as to show
a majority against the Government IS
policy.
The Matin hopes by its warning to
recall a sufficient number of those
Deputies who have left for the coun-

ICABARRUS COUNTY FILES
ANSWER TO CANNON MILLS

Raleigh. July 12.-Cabarrus
County, through its attorneys
Charles U. Harris, j. s. Griffin and
r. r. williams has fed answer TO
the complaint of the Cannon cotton
mills and others of Cabarrus county
seeking to restrain the county from
the collection of taxes levied on the
valuation fixed by the Board of Ap-
praisers and Review OF the county
before the Corporation Commission
reduced the original valuation from
s19,4SO.3OS to $9,2S6.6S9.
The correspondents maintain that
Corporation Commission, sitting as
the State Tax Commission, three
months after adjournment of the
Extra Session attempted EEK parte"
to hear the complainant on appeal
from the original assessments and
thereupon reduced the assessment
| by $1O,193,619.
The Clerk to the Board of Com
missioners of Cabarrus, without au-
thority from that board or without
comforting with it, and acting upon
the direction Of the Corporation
Commission according to the answer
changed assessment of the cotton
mills. .Whereupon, the county COM
missioners ordered the original as
sessments restored.

Board of Appraisers and Revenue on
May 1, 1919, follows:

Co., $1,613,743; Cabarrus Cotton
Mills, $4,S02,7S5; Franklin Cotton
Mills, $1,42S,1SS.
At this stage of the proceedings.
the cotton mills sought an injunction
| through the Cabal@us County courts
against the county and H. w. Cald-
well, Tax Collector. The date for
the hearing has not been set.
Briefly. the answer sets forth a
denial "that the Corporation Com
! mission, acting as a State -Ta~ Com
| mission, had the right under CT by
virtue of any power conferred upon
it by law to issue any order or direc-
tfon to the clerk or the board of
commissioners to change, alter OIL
amend the original assessment
against the property of the complain.
ant and that any order or direction
addressed to said clerk was without
authority of law and of no binding
or legal effect. On the contrary, the
defendants allege that it, the said
| Corporation Commission, was with.
out legal authority to either hear the
matters on appeal or make an order
changing said assessments under
provision of Chapter 1, Section
Public Laws Extra Session, 1920"

Raleigh, N. c., July 12.-Although
the authorities have not slackened

trace has been found of Marcus Ed
wards, who escaped from the state
prison farm near Raleigh early last

years.
Edwards was originally sentenced
to die in the electric chair, but for
mer Governor Beckett commuted his
sentence to life imprisonment, later
changing it to 80 years along with all
prisoners serving life terms. When
the death sentence was commuted, it
is said, Edwards agreed never to ap-
ply for pardon.

from his wife, shot Mrs. Edwards to
death while the later was visiting
his sister at the Edwards home here

the prominence of the two families,
the case excited much interest
throughout the state.
