WiNon considered today tho ad

Tho president told Senator New

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 12. Although
nothing was given out concerning the
eonferenco President lluertu held
willi the members of bis cabinet last
night, it was rumored today that n
tho provisional execu-
ers favored his prompt
resignation.
Whether ITuerta would heed them,
however, wns con.sdered doubtful.
Men in fairly close touch with affairs
at the National palace said the dicta
tor realizes as fully as auvone that
bo must finally step out, but that he
is determined not to do s- until
enough other powers join in America's
demand for his retirement to make it
clear ho is yielding to absolutely over
whelming force.
Reports that William llnyard Hale
wns conferring in northern Me.xieo
with General Cnrranza were wired
hero from the United States and
caused evident uneasiness in govern
ment circles. Tho Huertistns appre
ciate that the arming of the rebels
would give such an impetus to tho
revolutionary movement that it would
bo almost imposMblo for them to pouo
with tt, and to ho overthrown by the
rebels would bo an oven woro humili

RATE OF TAXATION
FOR COMING YEAR
Tho city council Tuesday night at
a special session fixed tho tax lovy
at 12 mills, considered with no de
finite action the raising of tho water
rents, and the passage of an ordin
ance making possible tho calling of u
recall election, and witnessed a sur
prising display ot uncalled for peev
ishness on tho part ot Councilman
John Summervllle, president ot tho
council,
Tho tax levy U an Increase of 2.1
mills over 1912, which was 9.9 mVIs.
The ralso Is attributed to a decrease
In tho assessed valuation and pro
vides for the payment ot tho money
duo to tho purchaso ot tho Hamilton
ranch, supposed to bo a protection
to the water supply,
Tho levy wilt ruito S0G.030.2C,
where 159,229.20 sufficed last year. ,
The interest fund is the largest
S19.25S.S3, tho general fund being
next at SSS01.01. For sowers
SS253.7S Is allowed, flro S7703.53,
light, SCC03.03, library 13301.51,
sinking, 13301.51, park 1550.25, and
street ami roads S253.78.
An ordinance providing tor tba
raising ot water rents was discussed
and then sldotracked. Tho ordin
ance has nevor beon followed to thb
letter aud as a result tho rates aro
applied without equality, tho rebates
granted further complicating. It
was held action should bo de
ferred until Suporlniendont Tranua
could bo conform! with, and his plan
for unscrambling tho mix-up bo con
sidered. Attorney Mcars and "Doc" Keeno
askod that an ordinance bo passed
making It posslblo for cltlrous to
call a recall election at any tlino, tho
ordlnanco at present being faulty,
and giving tho council tho power to
use Its own Judgment with recall pe
titions. During tho discussion ot tho water
