MEXICO CITY, Sept. SO.-TJie Prat
session of tho pence parley between rep
resentatives of First Chief Vonustlnno
Cnrranza nnd Gencrnl Francisco Villa
Js under wny In Zaeatccas, according to
a telegram from that city. General Car
ranza's representatives aro General Obro
gon, General Cosa, General Trovlno, Kd
unrdo ltay nnd Bantos Coy, while tho
delegates representing the leader of tho
Division of tho North are Kugcnlo
Ilenavldes, Ysnbel nobles and Colonel
Ccnlccros.
It Is the object of tho first chief's dele
gates to maintain the status quo until
tho renl peace convention Is held In this
city next .month.
WILL FIGHT IF HE MUST.
Carrania, according to hlo friends, still
maintains tho attitude that he should
remain at tho head of tho government
until his successor can be chosen by the
people or by the convention of Governors
Bind Generals that will convene here pos
sibly In October.
General Carranza's attitude wns ex
plained In a message which was placed
before General Villa's generals in Zaca
tecas today. In part It says:
"If tho chiefs accopt my resignation
when It Is tendered to them at the con
Tcntlon In tho capital, I will gladly rc
tlr.e to private llfo with the conscious
ness of duty well done. But If my resig
nation Is not accepted I will fight the
present reaction with the same energy
nnd firmness that I fought tho usurpa
tion of Hucrta."
WANTS PEOPLE TO SPEAK.
In speaking of tho approaching con
ference General Carranza said:
"We want It to bo truly representative
of the people, so that it might bo said
afterward that tho result of the conven
tion Is truly the voice of tlio people In
Mexico. If, when the convention Is as
sembled, It la found that all the chiefs
summoned have not come, wo will Imme
diately summon proxies, so that all sec
tions will have representation."
One thing Is certain: Carranza will
not stand by and seo Villa swept Into
power If ho can prevent It. The First
Chief 'believes that If he should resign
Villa should relinquish the leadership of
tbo division of the north.
Thcro Is no news coming to tho War
Department of operations north of tho
capital nnd it Is believed that an armis
tice practically exists pendln tho result
of the parleys In Hncatecas.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 30 -Cheers
followed tho declaration of J. D. Dorl, of"
Flint, Mich., in tho convention of the
Carriage Builders' National Association
today that every representative Industry
in the country should insist upon Immedi
ate congressional action for the creation
of a merchant marine.
'Turchase of ships may creato a few
millionaires or oven multi-millionaires,"
tho Michigan man exclaimed, "but wo
should not let that narrow point of
view hold up the great destiny of tills
country. We want action now when
action Is needed,"
"I do not believe the manufacturers of
this country, even whllo many plants
aro already working night and duy to

evon begun to realize how immeasur
ably this war abroad Is going to help

a Cleveland manufacturer. "Some people

they arc going to be caught napping hi

he asserted, had given the trade such a
bad reputation that the Saturday Evening

WILL QUIZ U. S. OFFICIAL
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10,-The Senate
Financo Committee, when It met today,
had before It proposals for several Im
portant amendments to the administra
tion emergency revenue 'Bill, recsntly
passed by the House.
It has been proposed to reduce the tax
of J2 a thousand on bank capital and
surplus to Jl. Some members bclievo it
would be Unwise to place a heavy bur
den on bank capital at this time because
of disturbed financial conditions duo to
tho Europoan war.
Advocates of this change would revise
the gasoline clause and place a tac on
automobiles based on horsepower Instead
of tho levy of two cents a gallon on gas
oline. They say this would make up the
loss of revenue due to the cut In the
bankers' tax.
The levy on accident Insurance' Imposed
by the House njso may be eliminated and
the committee Is considering readjusting
the proposed tax on insurance policies.
Subcommittees of the Finance Commit
tee were appointed to consider thevarlous
sections. They are : Tax on Gasoline,
Senators Williams, Shlvely and Gore;
Banks and Brokers, Senators Stone,
Hughes and Williams; Stamp Tax, Sena
tors Hoke Smith, Phlvely and James; on
a proposal to add two moro classes of
cigarettes to those, already taxed In the
bill, Senators Simmons, Williams and
Johnson. Senator Simmons, chairman of
the full committee, is an ex-ofllclo member
of all the subcommittees.
All the appointees to the subcommittees
nre Democrats, as It Is planned to frame
the Mil with only the Democrats proient
nnd then to call in the Republican mem
bers before the bill is reported to tho
Sena to.
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 the Ohio producers. The
discrimination, it is deolarcd, comes In
the language "containing more than 3
per cent, of saccharine matter."
Tho tax on such sweet wines Is 20 cents
a gallon, while tho 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 wlno spirits which they aro
able to obtain free of taxation.
A distinguished prisoner In Hungary Is
a Russian general, Kugene Masllnoff.
General Mastlnoff still looks quite defiant,
although ho has grown a Bhade more
modest since he was taken prisoner.
When brought Into the prison camp, ha
asked, through an Interpreter, for the com
mander. Colonel Alfred von Obauer com
piled with the request, and, with tho
courtesy characteristic of officers, pre
sented himself to the Russian general.
The cnged Russian lion was tactloss
enough to remain seated. Colonel Obauer
then commanded, In a firm but quint
tone! "Altentlont" whereupon tho gen
eral found It advisable to show, by rlsliu
stiffly M, his height, that he took the les
son liPmllltary discipline.
A correspondent of n Vienna paper
thus describes n war-prison scene In
Hungary, between Estergom . (Gran) and
Kenycrmezo:
"You find there next to Frenchmen,
with their woll-carod-for complexions,
Russian officers, with effcmlnnto features
and red-faced, weather-beaten Servian
otlicers. Beside flaxen-halrcu Cossacks
there are four follows with coal black
heads negroes from the. coal mines of
Cardiff, who were seized on British mer
chant ships. Servian gypsies from Sha
bats completo tho picture. In tho centra
of the circle there Is a grindstone, on
which a Cossack dutifully and humbly
sharpons, for one of our Infantry soldiers,
a bayonet, which Is to do service ngalnst
the northern foe. All around aro grouped
Servians and Montenegrins, who look on,
with lll-concqaled anger, whllo their
hoped-for deliverer serves the son of the
Puszta. Now thcro approaches tho group
an elegant figured-Captain Qeony, of tho
Royal Yeomanry, whom England's, decla
ration of war surprised In Hungary and
who now waits In vain for tho British
Consul, who Is to liberate him. Monsieur
G. Ralnal, tho former trapczo artist of
Ronacher's variety show, now French
lieutenant of tho reserves, performs a
trick on a chair with thrco legs.
An Instance of how anxious Irish sol
diers aro to go to tho front was wit
nessed recently nt Chelsea Barracks,
where the Irish Guards were quartered.
Late one evening some ono spread the
rumor that the Irish Guards were to bo
transferred to one of the nrmy depots.
That evening was ono of tho wildest
known at Chelsea Barracks. Then camo
the announcement that the rumor was
true.
Immediately tho Irish Guards sot up
the cry. "Wo want tr go to tho front
Our place Is In France. Wo won't go to
any denots." For moro man an nour
the yelling kept up. Thon the officer
mado speeches telling tho men to bo
patient that they soon would be on for
the -scono of fighting. Even nfter mesa
promises a force of mounted police was
established about tho barracks to Insure
peace and quiet.
Corporal J. nalley In a letter homo ex
presses lively contempt for German
marksmanship, as follows:
"On the firing line the Germans seem
to have more ammunition than is good
for them, nnd they keep firing away at
least ten rounds for every ono of ours
without doing half the damnge, or any
thing llko it.
Tho Daily Mall prints tho following:
"How he once had a fight with the
Kaiser In tho old Engllh style and beat
him is related by Alfred R. Price, hotel
proprietor, Ilfracombe, North Devon. The

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 store clerk and mission
worker, 23 years old, today pleaded
guilty when arraigned In court and was
bound over to the Grand Jury.
The slayer expressed a desire to waive
trial nnd ncccpt sentence to the electric
chair. This the court refused. An In
snnlty plea may save the murderer's llfo.
Boomer with utter calm, police say,
told how he entered the little Barges
street toa store where Vlnnle Becker
was the clerk, how he proposed to rob
the store, oho recognized him and he
struck her down, then finished tho mur
der with ft heavy steel hatchet,' how he;
sunk tho weapon to the handle Ih the
victim's skull and fled with $2, tho con-
tents of the cash register.
"I was broke. I w.ent to the store to
rob It. Tha; girl said. 'How are you,
Harry?' She stooped over a barret to
get some oatmeal. I struck her. She
said, 'Oh, Harry!' Then I killed her."
This confession, police say, Is In tho
hands of County Prosecutor H, F.
Castle and will be presented to tho
Summit County Grand Jury which Is
now In session.
Boomer formerly worked In the tea.
store, nnd knew the routine of the
establishment. He waited until Fred M.
Becker, tho proprietor and brother of tho
dtad girl, left the place, then entered
and carried out what police say Is one of
tho most wanton murders In the history
of Ohio Lrlmlnal nnnnls.
Up confessed how In prlmltlvo mnnner
he fashioned a rude tomahawk of wood
that ho found In a lumber yard. This
weapon, tho confession says, wns aban
doned when the murderer found a heavy
steel hatchet hanging on the wnll of tho
little back room where he attacked his
victim.
A modern ensh register proved gkUe key
of solution to tho murder mystery. Three
persons knew the combination to th3
eltctrlc apparatus. These were Boomer,
Miss Becker nnd her hrothcr, tho pro
prietor. Suspicion naturally pointed to
Boomer. Ho was found at his home Inst
night, nnd nfter n brief struggle, In
which he attempted sulcldo with a newly
purchased revolver, ho surrendered nnd
confessed. '
