Democrats Begin Preparation of Can Biir—Eliminates Tax on Freight Transportation.
ens
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Democrats of the house ways and means commit tee today began the preparation of new war revenue bill with the proposed tax on freight transportation elimin ated and designed to bring into the treasury $105,000,000.

Decision to elim inate the freight tax in the new bill was reached because of antagonism within the democratic party and Presi dent Wilson's announcement that he would not insist upon the plan.
The proposed bill will include the Spanish war stamp tax on commercial and legal papers, bills of lading, tele grams, and long distance telephone messages the Spanish war special taxes on bankers, brokers, theaters and other amusement places, a levy of two cents a gallon on gasoline, a special tape on tobacco manufacturers and dealers, domestic and foreign beer. Revision of the details of the Spanish war tax in the discretion of the committee was also used by the caucus.

charge of the executive power in Mexico City. Through Paul Fuller, personal representative of President Wilson in Mexico, Gen. Carranza set forth that the presence of American troops, instead of being a safeguard against further revolution and peace with the United States, constituted a constant menace to friendly relations. The Mexican chief contended—and he was supported by Gen. Villa and others—that the Mexican people would not understand the continued presence of American troops on Mexican soil anJ would be bound to cherish resentment, no matter how well inventioned the American administration was or how acquiescent the Mexico City administration itself might be.
Until yesterday the Washington government had not decided upon any fixed time for the withdrawal of its forces and awaited negotiations with the new government on the subject. At first the president believed it desirable to keep American forces at Vera Cruz for salutary effect, hoping that a constitutional election wculd be conducted fairly and the troops brought back after a constitutionally elected executive was in power. The constitutionalist chief argued, however, that no election could be free and without compulsion with a part of Mexican territory controlled by American forces. He !pointed out, too, that the question of American troops might soon become a domestic issue, which might cause internal dissension.

"The German public is also said to be impressed by the news of the disasters which have overtaken the Austrians in Galicia."
WOMAN DENIED DIVORCE.
Mrs. Flora Phipps has been denied her application for a difvorce from John R. Phipps, whom she charged with cruel treatment. The court took the matter under advisement when it was learned that two of the children whose custody she asked are in the Glenn home.
