The absolute injustice of the altack is so glaring in the article itself that it would seem unneces- sary to draw attention to it. The Empire accuses the mayor of keeping’ these forms under the control of his own interests yet in the same article it states that Notaiy Public L. Crippen has been furnished with a supply and will take declara- tions without charge. Every- one familiar with municipal politics knows that Crippen was an out and out sup- » porter of Newton in the mayoralty contest last year. Still, Mayor Pattullo is the despot who will not let the ; road tax receipt forms get j beyond the control of his own interests.

In’The News of yesterday it was stated that the expenditure was $11,000, but those figures merely covered the amounts shown in the warrant book. Other expenditures which had not been finally passed bring the total up to $23,000, and this does not include expendi- tures in the light and telephone departments. It is evident that the officials at the city hall are not merely killing time. WERE BURNED TO DEATH —_—se . Fate of Ninety Passengers on the Wrecked Volturno. 4 (Special to The Daily News.

These notes stated that the United States would Jook with displeasure on any injury to the deputies whom Huerta threw into prison, and other notes served upon him made it plain that the United States attached the gravest im- portance to the arrest of the deputies and was keenly inter- ested in their fate. These notes have strained the diplomatic relations between the United States and Mexico to the breaking point, and Huerta is most likely to bid President Wil- son to mind his own business. Affairs in the southern republic are rapidly drifting to a crisis.
