That declaration formed a part of lengthy message received here today from Governor Carransa, the Constitu tionalist leader at Hermosillo. It was in response to a request that he state his position on the candidacy oi reu erico Gamboa for the Mexican presi dency. I.air Invoked Asalnat Maximilian.

Ing in Australia, owing to the Imports to the United States. There is not an Inexhaustible supply of cattle in Aus trails by any means. If all the cattle they possess were shipped to the Unit ed States they would not equal our shortage in the past seven years. Australian Beef Inferior. "The Australian beef brought to this country is not as good as American beef. Some has been sold on the Coast, but has sot given satisfaction to butchers or consumers. The for mer do not want to handle it, as there Is more waste to it. and as for con sumers they object to frozen meat. "Argentine beef goes mainly to Ens land. Since the United States ceased exporting beef England has drawn on the South American country for its supply. Argentine beef Is cheaper than beef In this country, but it is also ad vancing in price. The beef shortage la a world-wide question." Rlae In Price Logical. With consumption increasing and production decreasing, it is natural for beef prices to advance. Statistics from Government sources indicate a decrease in beef cattle in the United States since 1908 of 23.4 per cent and an in crease in population In the same time of 13.2 per cent. While the number of consumers has increased 11,324,256 in eight years, the number of beef cattle has diminished 11.037.658 The number of beef cattle In the United States and the population by years is given by the Census Bureau as follows: Beef cattle.

It takes three years to get a steer ready for market, while hog can be marketed six months after it is born. The increase in hog pro duction is, therefore, keeping pace bet ter with the growth of population. Still, hog prices are being affected to some extent by the advance in beef. The same applies in a measure to th sheep market, but the advance In this line has been small. Jobbing prices in the beef market are about 12 to 14 cents a pound, mutton is worth IVi to 9 cents and choice lambs 10 to 12V& cents. Pork is worth 12 to 12 cents wholesale. CHARLTON'S STORY TOLD LAWYER SATS PRISONER SLEW WIFE 1ST VOLUNTARILY. Great Quantity of Empty Bottles Found by Police Proof of Assertion Both Were Drank. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. The trial in Italy of Porter Charlton for wife murder probably will be delayed to permit depositions to be taken in the United States. Judge Palmier!, of Charlton's counsel, who returned today from Italy, expressed this .opinion. The trial is set for late in November. "I have been asked repeatedly what will be the nature of the defense, con tlnued Judge Palmteri. "The answer Is simple. Charlton's statement of the occurrence on the fatal night is a com plete answer. Charlton appeared be fore the Glulice Istruttorl at Como a few days before I sailed. This story has been reduced to writing, sealed and filed with the court. It will be read to the 12 jurors who will decide his fate. Had he told the story im mediately on the happening of the oc currence he would be a free man to day. "His story begins from the time of his marriage and ends only with their quarrel on the fatal night, while cannot remember the entire statement. which surpasses any tragic story yet written, I do know that Charlton has admitted the killing, but said that it was entirely Involuntarily and that for a few days before the crisis both he and his wife were in a state of in ebriety. In the statement he is corrob orated by the great quantity of empty liquor bottles found on the premises by the police. Whether Charlton ever will see the light of liberty again will de pend entirely on what credence the jury will place upon the statement. COMMERCE COURT LOSES Senate Sob-Committee Would Legls late Judges Out at Once. WASHINGTON. Sept. 27. A sub-com mittee of the Senate appropriations committee decided today to recognize the abolishment of the United States Commerce Court in practically the same terms as were contained in tne de flclency appropriation bill recently passed by the House. Hearings held by the sub-committee brought many protests against ' the proposed action, Attorney-General McReynolds being among those to advocate continuing the court. The future of the court will depend on the action of the full appropriations committee of the Senate when It takes up the report of the sub-committee, The provision passed by the House would abolish the court December 81 next and would reduce the number of Circuit Judges so that the Commerce Court Judges would be legislated out of office at once. CLERGYMAN' RUNS SALOONS As Administrator of Estate, Priest Is Responsible Under Law. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept 27. In the eyes of the law a clergyman is manag ing two of the city's liquor saloons. This has come about by the court ap polntment of Rev. Father Poulak, pas tor of the Ruthenian Greek Catholic Church, as administrator of the estate of Leon Anickl a parishioner, at the request of the widow. The estate was found to be a saloon and a partnership in another. The clergyman reluctantly took the trust today. He will not tend bar. but un der the excise laws he will be legally responsible for the conduct of both sa loons. Reports From Vessels.

James Golden, who yesterday was adjudged insane and ordered sent to the asylum at Salem, was the fourth person who during the week came to the courthouse and complained that he was being continually followed and annoyed by strangers. He also com plained that automobile drivers insist ed on tooting their horns whenever they saw him, in spite of the fact that they knew he was afraid of them. He came Friday from Eugene, but was afraid, he said, and passed the night at Oregon City, where the noise was not so great. He said he would have appealed to the Governor, but did not believe the State Executive had the time to give hint the protection he needed. Oregon Educator Called East. ALBANY, Or, Sept. 27.

WILSON MAY RUN AGAIN President Helps Own Cause by dy ing Cabinet Member All Rope He "Wants Speaker Atti tude Is Contrast. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Sept, 27. The bitterness and persistency with which strong Admin istration newspapers have assailed Secretary of State Bryan, especially because of his Chautauqua lectures, have given rise to the report that friends of the Administration are try lng to force Mr. Bryan out of the Cab inet Whether this be true or not, the criticism and condemnation have been annoying to the Secretary of State. It is impossible to prove that there Is any concerted action among news papers supporting President Wilson to force Secretary Bryan Into retirement, for he has been assailed quite as bit terly by Republican papers as by those that support the President. There may be no concert of action and these at tacks may not be Inspired by partlcu lar friends of the Administration. Nev ertheless, the fact that so many of the big papers that have nothing but praise for the President nave notning out cen sure for the Secretary of State has brought about an interesting situation President's Consent Obtained. When Secretary Bryan, to the sur prise of the public, announced that h intended to lecture in order to swell his income, he was criticised instantly in all parts of the country. With this criticism fresh in his ears, he appealed to th President and secured Mr. Wil son's permission to fill his Chautauqua dates, and never since tnat time, so far as the public knows at least, has the President placed any . obstacle in Secretary Bryan s path. Whether the President allowed Sec retary Bryan to have his own way about his lectures because he thought the Secretary's repeated absences from Washington woald not interfere with public business, or whether the Presi dent was actuated by a deeper motive may never be known. It is pointed out by one shrewd observer or things pout leal, however, that tne president maae a wise political move when he gave Secretary Bryan all the rope he wanted It is recognized that Secretary Bryan, because of his insatiable desire tor money and for the applause of the multitude, has placed himself "in bad, as he has never been before with the American public, and most politicians are of the opinion that Mr. Bryan can never again be nominated by his party for the Presidency. His lecture record would rise to harass him and would prove a heavy handicap. Wilson Rival Eliminated. But the result is the same, whatever the motive that prompted the Presl dent In approving the Bryan lecture scheme. By deserting his desk at Washington . day after day, lecturing for cash to swell his Income, and first admitting that he was lecturing for the coin and then attempting to ex plain that he lectured purely for edu cational purposes, .Secretary Bryan, m all probability, has killed himself po litically. With Bryan eliminated as a candidate. President Wilson will have less aiiiicuity in securing a- reaumiuo.- tion in 1916 than he would have If Mr. Bryan should come forward asking fur ther reward at the hands or his party and demanding that President WllBon be content with one term. That Presi dent Wilson will seek renomination is eenerallv believed, though on that sub ject he has been silent ever since his election last Fall. Speaker Clark, who has been an ac tive Chautauqua speaker lor years, declined to make any lectures this sea son, and took occasion recently to call attention to the tact tnat ne could not lecture because Congress was In ses sion and required his presence in Washington, Of course, the Speaker said, he was not criticising Secretary Bryan; heaven forbid that the genial Speaker would criticise the Secretary of State. Nevertheless, Clark took de light in directing public attention to the fact that he had foregone an oppor tunity to swell his Income, because Congress was In session, while Secre tary Bryan, with a Mexican situation on his hands, found plenty of time to lecture. DEAD MAN IS IDENTIFIED DALE TAYLOR, ALIAS H. HOLLIS TER, BURIED AT BAKER. Woman Companion. Left Destitne, Re ceives Money, Transportation and Clothes of Towns people. BAKER, Or.. Sept 27. (Special.) The man believed to be H. Holllster, who was killed by falling down the stairway to the Antlers' Hotel kitchen Thursday, was Dale Taylor, of Clover dale, Or. This was learned today when the funeral was ordered by his father, Frank Taylor, said to be a newspaper publisher in that town. His death is believed to have been accidental. Wnen the man's body was found there was only 10 cents in his pockets, and at the hotel was a young woman com panion without money and with only enough clothing to keep her warm. The penniless girl persistently has refused to tell her relation to the man, and refused to give her name. She said her home is In Bay City, Mich., where Taylor Is said to have lived at one time. Women of the city provided the girl with clothing, the county furnished her transportation, while men collected funds for her traveling expenses. Taylor's father paid the funeral expenses. Rev. C. H. Ed wards, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, headed the purse-raising. The woman left tonight for Bay City. Taylor is said to have worked on Portland newspapers at times. Five aliases are known to have been used by him, but why he did Is not known. He was about zs years old, wnne the woman was about four years older and of refined appearance. NCOME TAX TO PRODUCE (Continued From First Pare.) man, after deducting $3000 for himself or $4000, if married, will have the right to claim the following additional ex emptions: Necessary expenses of carrying on BRYAN HUR business, not Including personal, living or family expenses. Interest paid out on Indebtedness. National, state, county, school, or mu nicipal taxes paid within the year. Trade losses or storm or fire losses, not covered by insurance. Worthless debts charged off during the year. A reasonable allowance for the '4e preciatlon ot property. Dividends from companies. Incomes of which have already been taxed. Interest from state, municipal or Government bonds. Net Income Must Be Returned. It is a clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector for his "entire net Income, and exemptions claimed under the law must be submitted to the Federal oin- cers for them to determine on their reasonableness or legality. The amount of the income tax as finally agreed on follows: From $3000 to $20,000, 1 per cent; from $20,000 to $50,000, 2 per cent; from $50,000 to $75,000, 3 per cent: from $75,000 to $100,000. 4 per cent: $100,000 to $250,000, 5 per cent; $250,000 to $500,000, 6 per cent; above $500,000, 7 per cent. A single man with an income of $25 000, for example, would pay 1 per cent on $17,000 and 2 per cent on $5000, a total tax of $270. If he were married the first tax of 1 per cent would apply to only $16,000 of his income. N. I. BURNETT BURIED LARGE FXJXERALi IS HELD FOR BAXKS CITIZEN. Relatives and Friends From Califor. nia, as Well as Oregon, Attend. Masonic Body in Charge. BANKS, Or., Sept 27. (Special.) The funeral of N. L Burnett, president -----4 N. I." Burnett, the Deceased Presi dent of the Washington County Bank, of Banks, Or of the Washington County Bank, took place this afternoon. Interment was at the Banks Cemetery. Friends from all parts of the state, and relatives from California, Including a daughter, came here by the 10:30 A. M. train, bearing many floral offerings which were borne to the country home of the late banker, where the Masonic fraternity conducted the last rites. The funeral cortege was impressive and large, being one of the largest seen In this vicinity for a num ber of years. Speculation is rife as to the probable successor in the presidency of the bank, the accepted theory being that the stockholders will designate Postmaster W. O. Moore, present vice-president as the highest officer, and unite in the person of W. O. Galloway, cashier, that office with that of vice-president An approximate estimate of the value of Mr. Burnett's estate is given as $500,000, but others say that this is ultra-conservative, as his 300-acre farm with business property In Banks and Forest Grove would nearly attain this fimire. and he is known to have in vested successfully outside of this county. A delegation of Portland Masons was present at the funeral. WILSON CLAIM DESISTED PRESIDENT'S WIFE HAS NOW COX. TEST FOR DATE LAND.

A surplus of from $10,000,000 to $18,000,000 over current needs of the Government will be provided by the new tariff law. In the opinion of Senator Simmons, chair man of the joint conference committee, which is to report the completed Demo cratic tariff bill to the House and the Senate next week. Experts from the Treasury Department, who have been keeping up with the conference com mittee during its two weeks of labor, worked late tonight perfecting a com olete estimate of the revenues the Gov ernment will receive under the law. The total had not been completed to night but Democratic leaders were as sured that there would be no difficul ties. Futures Compromise Insisted On. Interest centered today about the de velopment in the fight over the pro nnaeri tax on trades in cotton futures. Representative Underwood Introduced in the House the so-called Smith-Lever compromise plan, which has the in dorsement of the President, the Secre tary of Agriculture, the Postmaster General and many Southern Senators and members of Congress. This will be advocated In the House next week and Representative Underwood expects the House to instruct its conferees to insist on having the amendment go into the tariff bill. Senate leaders would not admit today that the Senate would accept the com promise, although some of the Senate Democrats are its warm champions. Senator Clarke, author of the provision passed by the Senate, expects to make a strong fight against the compromise. Conference Report Completed. The essential difference between the two plans is that the Clarke amendment would impose a tax of 50 cents a bale nn ah future trades where the actual cotton is not delivered, while the Smith- Lever plan would require cotton con tracts to SDeclfv Government grades and would establish a definite method of enforcing the delivery of merchant able cotton at fair market prices. The conference report was completed tndnv and will be laid before the Re publican conferees Monday. Of the 676 amendments to the bill that were taken up by the Democratic conferees, the House receded on 427 and the Senate on 151, while 97 were compromised.
