. Chihuahua, liexi(jj5r-"Ahy one who
hereafter loots or molests property ol
fpreigners or Mexicans will be execut
ed. The right to confiscate property
will rest only with the Constitutional
ist government" .
Gen. Francisco' Villa Issued this or
der as showing'1iB Intention to main
tain strict military discipline. Aa an
example he executed on the plaza a
band of rebels who' had bsn . found
gulty by .courtmartlal of fclng the
home of a wealthy Mexican. While
the six rebels were marched before
the 'firing squad the stolen goods
fere returned to the owner. '
All stores confiscated from the ex-
pelU a Spaniards were closed and seal
ed. Orders were given that no more
goods .are to .be taken from, them
This action was believed to have re
sulted from the protest of the United
States against the seizure of Spanish
property. Already grat quantities of
the goods, valued at several million
dollars, had been utilized by the reb
els. The remainder of tho property
Is to be held pending an investiga
tion as to whether the owners aided
the Huerta government.
General Villa proclaimed amnesty
to Federal soldiers who would sur
render and give up their arms. Many
Federal troops are reported to have
joined the rebels. Three hundred
thousand pounds or rifle ammunition,
and 500,000 pounds of artillery am
munition were recovered from a lake
east of Chihuahua, where they were
hidden by General Mercado's evacuat
ing Federals.

500 NATIVES DIE IN LAVA
Terrible Details of Volcanic Eruptions
on Ambrim Island.
Sj'dney, N. S. W. Incoming steam
ers bring terrible details of the re
cent volcanic eruptions on the Inland
of Ambrim in the New Hebrides group
in which 500 natives lost tlioir lives.
Witnesses of the disturbance describe
It as having been so sudden and vlo
lent that they expected to see the
whole western side of the island dis
appear.
With a terrific roar, which was fol
lowed with a rapid succession of artillery-like
detonation, all the craters of
tho volcano entered Into full activi
ty, spouting flames and lava and
throwing out huge boulders.
Great streams of lava soon were
rushing down the slopps, cutting oft
the villagers from escape. In one In
stance two torrents of the molten mass
joined and made an island of one en
tire section of a village. Here fifty or
sixty persons perished.
The scenes at night were aw&inspir
ing. Flames shot into the air to a
height of a thousand feet, illuminating
the whole scene of destruction' The
ocean seemed to boil as huge super
leated masses of stone fell into the sea
and streams of lava poured Into the
bay. Dust from the craters gradually
formed a black cloud which blotted
out the light of the stars.
The British hospital buildings were
wiped out but previous to their de
struction the doctors plucklly remov
ed all the patients .to a launch and
escaped with them.

Makes Vigorous Recommendation for
Additional Powers Over the
Railrof Js.
Washington. A sweeping declara
tion in favor of the principle of gov
ernment ownership of telephone and
telegraph lines and an assertion that
the postal service now self-supporting
for the first time since 1883, are
features of the annual report of Post
master General Burleson, transmitted
to congress.
Concerning the acquisition of tele
phone and telegraph lines, Postmaster
General Burleson says that the gov
ernmeat hasi demonstrated its capacity
to conduct public utilities, and, from
his present Information, he ,is inclined
clearly to the taking over by the post
office department of the telegraph
lines and, possibly, also, of the tele
phone lines. Discussing that the post
master general says:
"A study of the constitutional pur
poses of the postal establishment leads
to the conviction that the postofflce
department should have control over
all means of the communication of in
telligence. The first telegraph line in
this country was maintained and op
erated as a part of the postal service,
and it is to be regretted that congress
saw fit to relinquish this facility to
private enterprise.
"The monopolistic nature of the tel
egraph business makes it of vital im
portance to the people that it be con
ducted by unselfish interests, and this
can be accomplished only through gov
ernment ownership.
"The act of July 24, 1866, providing
for the government acquisition of the
telegraph lines upon payment of an
appraised valuation and the act oi
1902 directing the postmaster general
'to report to congress the probjble
cost of connecting a telegraph and tel
ephone system yh the postal service
by some feasil' : ilan,' are evidences
of the policy otv, is government ulti
mately to acquire and operate these
electrical means of communication as
postal facilities, as is done by all the
principal nations, the United States
alone excepted.
"The successful operation of the
parcel post has demonstrated the ca
pacity of the government to conduct
the public utilities which fall properly
within tlie postal provision cf the Constitution."
WashinEton Emphasizing the ne
cessity for further action by the Fed
eral government to rjrovide greater
safety for travelers and employees
upon American railroads, the inter
state commerce commission, in its an
nual report, submitted to congress,
makes vigorous recommendations for
additional powers over the physical
construction and operation of the
roads. The commission also recom
mends that it be given authority to
supervise the issue of railroad secur-
ilties and some measure of control
over the capitalization.
Condition disclosed by the commis
sion's investigation of railroad acci
dents during the year present a situ
ation, which, the commission believes,
ought to be the subject of immediate
legislation. Seventy-six accidents in
vestlgi'Med comprised fifty-one colli
sions V?d twenty-five derailments, and
causedMhe death of 283 and the injury
of 1,880 persons. Commenting upon
these facts, ,the report says:
" "The commission again is compelled
to no"te the exceedingly large propor
tion of traift accidents due to derelic
tion of duty on the part of employees
Fifty-six of the accidents investigated
during the year, or nearly 74 per cent,
of the whole number, were directly
caused by mistakes of employees,
These mistakes were of the same na
ture as those noted by the commission
in its last annual report, namely, dis
regard of fixed signals; Improper flag
ging; failure to obey train orders; im
proper checking of train register; mis
understanding of orders; occupying
main track on time of superior train;
block operator allowed train to enter
occupied block; disaptcher gave lap
order or used improper form of order;
ow-ator made mistake In copying or
der; switch left open in f,0e of ap
proaching train; excessive7 peed; fail
ure to identify train tlyA was met.
"These errors are exactly the ones
which figure in the causes of train
accidents year after year."
Jacksonville Considering the rul
ing of the state tax commission, re-'
questing a full cash value' assesment
of all property, will work a hardship
on the taxpayers of the state, the tax
assessors of five counties have sign
ed the call originated by A. L. Tur
ner of Jacksonville, tax assessor of
Duval county, February 1, 1914, in
Jacksonville, to be attended by the
assessors and county commissioners
of the state.
Tax Assessor 8. E. Sparkman of
Hillsborough county has adaressea the
tax commission on this pertinent sub
ject, showing how the proposed plan
will work and how it will attect taxpayers.
A. L. Turner states that the results
in this county will be Just as pronounced.
A copy of the statement and of the
letter were received by Tax Assessor
Turner, as follows: v ' - .
Tampa, Fla. Honorable Tax Com
mission, Tallahassee, Fla. Gentle
men: In replying to yours or the
10th instant, I cannot say that I am
able to make a definite reply Just
now, as, under the existing laws to
assess at what you might consider a
full cash value would wor,k an injus
tice on the taxpayers. -
As I understand the law you do not
have the power to reduce the mlllage.
you can only recommend, and in some
instances the mlllage can only be
changed by an enactment of the leg
islature and by an amendment to the
Constitution, for instance the one mill
school tax, as provided for by the Con
stitution, the state board of health
tax, which is one-half mill, the coun
ty school tax, which cannot be less
than 3 mills or more than 7 mills, and
In case they should ask for 7 mills I
do not think you would have the pow
er to overrule them. The Epecial sub-
school tax districts, which are fixed
by a vote of the people, and the mill-
age is 3 mills in this county, and
some are bonded for the purpose of
building schcolhouses, and the mlll
age for the bonds is 5 mills, making
a total of 8 mills in school districts
that are bonded.
Now supposing that the property for
Hillsborough is assessed at one-fourth
of its cash value for 1913 as you claim
some counties are assessed at at one
quarter of their cash value, . if I in
crease the value four times we would
pay considerably more taxes for 1913
than for 1912 unless you have the
power to reduce the mlllage for all
funds as shown on a separate sheet,
which I am enclosing, using a ?500
valuation for 1913, which would be
$2,000 valuation for 1914 if we consid
er Hillsborough county assesssed at
one-fourth its full cash value for 1913
I consider that your ruling request
ing a full cash value assessment would
work a hardship on the taxpayers of
the state of Florida.
Yours very respectfully,
S. E. SPARKMAN.

Jacksonville. If plans preparing by
Duval county school board and the
committee of thirty authorized by the
people to act as an advisory board
and assisting body to the board meet
no setback, by early spring Jaokson
ville will see begun the first of its
new modern fireproof buildings.
The special committe of the school
board, J. C. Cooper, Jr., and W,
Stockton have decided to devote
special attention and care to looking
Into the legal status of the situation
and with advice from other attorneys
have decided on a course of action
which Is believed will make for suc
cess from the start of the work.
It was proposed at the meeting
the school board that an election be
called and the old subdistricts, estab
lished some six years ago, and never
utilized for bonding purposes, be vot
ed out of existence legally and formal
ly. This action will clear the field
any complications that might arise
due to the questionable existence
these districts. Then, too, it is said,
these district lines were not drawn
to the best advantage, and if they
were retained would not give the re
sults that are desired in this new
bonding proposition.
