With one more week of the fiscal
year to go. that Is, on June %. the
Governments receipts for TIE fiscal
year reached $4,050, 900. This is
in excess Of the ordinary receipts
and interest charges by $343, 3,00O. 900.
Customs receipts for the year are
$347, ,i22,000. or $45, 100000 ahead of
those for 1921. but income and ex-
cess profits taxes have dropped
more than a billion. The figure for
this year so far Is $2,045, ,000, 900, as
against $3,15S. 100000 for the same
period last year. Ordinary dis
bursements, however, have been
brought down from s4.941. .000. 900

resume full liberty OF action to safe

armed and equipped forces there and
would go the limit In men. munitions

Press) Alberto j. Pani. Secretary of
Foreign Affairs. when officially advised
by the American Embassy Of the kid

in the State of Morelos. promised that
all possible measures will be taken to
effect his release. Bielaski with one
other was taken prisoner by seven
bandits, who released Mrs. Bielaski.
Although Mexican Federal troops

TIE other person kidnapped was Manuel
Barcena, a Mexican attorney. Mr.
Bielaski was chief of the bureau OF

It is generally believed that. instead
of pursuing the kidnapers to the point

The air Of mystery which surrounded
the kidnapping last night was explained
in authoritative sources to-day as ar
attempt by Mr.. Bielaski's friends tc
have the least possible said about the
incident until he was safe.
Apparently there are no facts to sup
port the theory advanced In some quar-
ters that the kidnapping was instigatet
by Mr.. Bielaski's personal enemies. al
1t was evidently plain holdup. carried
out with view Of obtaining ransom.
Held Up and Robbed.
