resentatives of First Chief Vcnustlano
Carrahza and General Francisco Villa

a telegram from that city. General Car

gon, General Cosa, General Trovlno, Ed
tiardo Hay nnd Santos Coy, while the

Division of the North arc Eimenlo
Benavides, Ysabel nobles and Colonel
Ccnlceros.
It Is the object of tho first chief's dele
gates to maintain tho status quo until
the rent peace convention Is held In this
city next month.
Wllili FIGHT IF HE MUST.
Carranza, according to hl friends, still
'maintains tho attltudo that hs should
remain at the head of tho government
until 'Jila successor can bo chosen by the
people or by tho convention of Governors
nnd Generals that will convene here pos
sibly in October.
General Currnnza's attitude was ex
plained In a message which was placed
boforo General Villa's generals In Zaca
tecas today. In part It Bays:
"If the chiefs accept my resignation
when It Is tendered to them at the con
Tcntlon In the capital, I will gladly re
tire to private life with tho conscious
ness of duty well done. But If my resig
nation. Is not accepted I will fight tho
present reaction with the same energy
nd firmness that I fought tho usurpa
tion of Huerta."
. WANTS PEOPLE TO SPEAK.
In speaking of tho approaching con
ference General Carranza said:
"Wo want It to bo truly representative
of the people, so that It might be said
afterward that tho result of the conven
tion Is truly the voice of the people In
Mexico. If, when the convention Is as
sembled. It Is found that nil the chiefs
summoned have not come, wo will Imme
diately summon proxies, so that all sec
tions will have representation."
Ono thing Is certain: Carranza will
not stand by and sec Villa swept Into
power If ho can prevent It. The First
Chief believes that If he should roslgn
Villa should relinquish the leadership of
the division of the north.

tice practically exists pendiu the result
of the parleys In Zacatccas.

WASHINGTON, Sept. SO. The Senate
Finance Committee, whon It met today,
had before It proposals for several im
portant amendments to tho administra
tion emergency revenue bill, recently
passed by the House.
It has been proposed to reduce the tax
of 2 a thousand on bank capital and
surplus to Jl. Some members believe It
would be unwise to place a heavy bur
den on bank ccpltal at this time becauso
of disturbed financial conditions due to
the European war.
Advocates of this change would revise
the gasoline clause and place a tax on
automobiles based on horsepower instead
of tho levy of two cents a gallon on gas
oline. They say this would make up tho
loss of revenue due to the cut In the
bankers' tax,
Tho levy on accident Insurance Imposed
by the House also may be eliminated and
the commltteo Is considering readjusting
tho proposed tax on insurance policies.
Subcommittees of the Finance Commit
tee were appointed to consider the various
sections. They are : Tax on Gasoline,
Senators Williams. Shlvcly and Gore;
Banks and Brokers, Senators Stone,
Hughes and Williams; Stamp Tax, Sena
tors Hoke Smith, Shlvcly and James; on
a proposal to add two more classes of
cigarettes to those already taxed In the
bill, Senators Simmons, Williams and
Johnson. Senator Simmons, chairman of
tho full committee, Is an ex-offlclo member
of nil the subcommittees.
All the appointees to the subcommittees
are Democrats, as It Is planned to frame
the Mil with only the Democrats present
and then to call In the Republican mem
bers before the bill Js reported to the
Senate.
Senator Pomerene, of Ohio. Is fighting
tho tax on sweet wines provided In the
House bill on the ground that it will
give an advantage to. the California
products over tho Ohio producers. The
discrimination. It Is declared, comes In
the language "containing more than 3
per cent, of saccharine matter."
The tax on such sweet wines Is 20 cents
a gallon, while the tax on other domestic
wines Is only 12 cents a gallon. The
Ohio producers say they use sugar In
manufacturing their wines, while the
California producers rely upon fortifica
tion with wine spirits which they are
able to obtain free of taxation.

MINOR TERRORS OF WAR;
ITS COMEDY AND PATHOS
A distinguished prisoner In Hungary Is
a Russian general, Eugene Mastlnoff,
General Mastlnoff still looks quite defiant,
although he has grown a shade more
modest since he was taken prisoner.
When brought Into the prison camp, he
asked, through an Interpreter, for the com
mander. Colonel Alfred von Obnuer com
piled with the request, and, with tha
courtesy characteristic of officers, pre
sented himself to the Russian general.
Tho cnged Russian Hon was tactless
enough to remain seated. Colonel Obaucr
then commanded, In a firm but quiet
tone: "Attentlonl" whereupon the gen
eral found It advisable to show, by rising
stiffly to his height, that ho took the les
son In military discipline.
A correspondent of a. Vienna paper
thus describes n war-prison sceno In
Hungary, between Estergom (Gran) and
Kenyermezo:
"Tou tlnd there next to Frenchmen,
with their well-cared-for complexions,
Russian officers, with effeminate features
and red-faced, weather-beaten Servian
officers. Beside llaxen-hnlrcd Cossacks
there aro four fellows with coal black
heads negroes from the .coal mines of
Cardiff, who were solzed on British mer
chant ships. Servian gypsies from Sha
bata completo tho picture. In the centre
of The circle thero Is a grindstone, on
which n Cossack dutifully nnd humbly
sharpens, for one of our Infantry soldiers,
a bayonet, which Is to do service against
tho northern foe. All around nro grouped
Servians nnd Montenegrins, who look on,
with ill-concealed nnger, while their
hoped-for deliverer serves the son of tha
Puszta. Now thero approaches the group
an elegant figure Captain Geony, of the
Royal Yeomanry, whom England's decla
ration of war surprised In Hungary nnd
who now waits In vain for tho British
Consul, who Is to liberate, him. Monsieur
G. Ralnal, tho former trapeze artist of
Ronncher's variety show, now French
lieutenant of tho reserves performs a
trick on a chair with three legs.
An Instance of how anxious Irish sol
diers nro to go to the front was wit
nessed recently at Chelsea Barracks,
where the Irish Guards were quartered.
Late one evening some ono spread tho
rumor that the Irish Guards were to be
transferred to ono of the army depots.
That evening was one of tho wildest
known nt Chelsea Barracks. Then camo
the announcement that the rumor was
true.
Immediately the Irish Guards sot up
tho cry, "Wo want tr go to the front.
Our plnco Is In France. Wo won't go to
any depots." For more than nn hour
the yelling kept up. Then the officer
made speeches telling tho men to be
patient that they soon would be off for
the scene of fighting. Even after these
promises a force of mounted police was
established about tho barracks to insure
peace nnd quiet.
Corporal J. Bailey In a letter home ex
presses lively contempt for German
marksmanship, as follows:
"On the firing line tho Germans seem
to have more ammunition than Is good
for them, and they keep firing away at
least ten rounds for every one of ours
without doing half the damage, or any
thing ltko It.
Tho Dally Mall prints the following.

the Prince. , .. ,
" 'I don't care who you are,' replied
young Price. . , , ,. . ..
"Tho Prince promptly knocked the boy

had the worst of the fight."
A correspondent of the Ttelch writes
thnt after tho capture of Tilsit the Rus
sians occupied nn estate of tho Kaiser
which comprises a model farm and nn
enormous garden, such as the Russian
soldiers had never before seen. Tho
exhaustcd Boldlcrs lay on the carpots and

MURDERER OF GIRL
CLERK ADMITS GUILT
AND ASKS SENTENCE
Desires to Waive Trial
When Arraigned Tells
Police He Killed Victim
Because He Was Broke.
AKRON, O., Sept. 30. Harry Roomer,
26, "tomahawk murderer" of pretty Vln
nle Becker, tea storo clerk and mission
worker, 23 years old, today pleaded
guilty when nrralgned In court nnd was
bound over to tho Grand Jury.
The slayer expressed a desire to waive
trial arid accept sentence to the electric
chnlr. This the court refused. An In
sanity plea may save the murderer's life.
Boomer with utter calm, police say,
told how he entered the little Barges
street tea store where Vlnnlo Becker
was the clerk, how he proposed to rob
the store, she recognized him and he
struck her down, then finished the mur
der with a hcayy sleel hatchet how he
sunk tho weapon to tho handle In the
victim's skull nnd fled with $62, the con
tents of the cash register.
"I was broke. I went to the store to
rob It. The girl said. 'How Are you,
Harry?' She slooficd over a barrel to
get some oatmeal. I struck her. She
said, 'Oh, Harry!' Then I killed her."
This confession, pollco say, Is In the
hands of County Prosecutor It, F.
Castle nnd will be presented to the
Summit County Grand Jury which Is
now In session.
Boomer formerly worked In the tea
store, and knew the routine of the
establishment. Hn waited until Fred M.
Becker, the proprietor and brother of the
dead girl, left the place, then entered
and carried out what police say Is one of
the most wanton murders in tho history
of Ohio criminal annals.
Ho confessed how In primitive manner
he fashioned a rude tomahawk of wood
that he found In a lumber yard. Ths
weapon, tho confcsBlon says, was aban
doned when the murderer found a heavy
steel hatchet hanging on tho wall of the
little back room where he attacked his
victim.
A modern cash register proved the key ,
of solution to the murder mystery. Three
persons knew the combination to the
electric apparatus. These wero Boomer,
Miss Becker nnd her brother, the pro
prietor. Suspicion naturally pointed to
Boomer. Ho was found at his homo last
night, and after a brief struggle, In
which he attempted suicide with a newly
purchased revolver, he surrendered and
confessed.
