Springfield.--The state charities commission and the state board of ad­ ministration favor district alms­ houses, ejected and maintained by two of more counties, in preference to the present system of caring for the state's needy. - / Absolute ratification of the new sys- tem was nsade in the institution quar- t terly report, issued by Secretary of the Charities Commission jt.

It will urge upon the next general assembly an enactment which will break up the practice, indulged in by 23 of our counties of letting the superintendence of the county farm to the highest bid- der on the land and the lowest bidder on the keep of the inmates."

Twenty-five hundred Illinois farm t|rs "Who are under the jurisdiction of the Chicago division of the govern ment income tax bureau, Will be treat­ ed with leniency in settlement of three, years of unpaid taxes because of the discovery that it was their bookkeep­ ing and not their honesty that was at fault. The exact number of farm­ ers in this division who are delin­ quent has not ben definitely deter­ mined, but the investigators working under Daniel Chapln, special agent of of the treasury department, have gone far enough to show the farmer Is will­ ing to pay his share. The eighth district of this division with headquarters at Springfield, and comprising thirty-one counties, was the first section canvassed by the .in­ vestigators for delinquent taxpayers and the report will be ready' in a few days. It is estimated that it wift show 1,500 farmers who neglected to pay on incomes averaging approximately $5,000 each. The first district, of which Chkago is the center and which has fringe^n Counties, is expected to yield about 600 farmers in arrears ,with the gov eminent. The fifth district, with eleven counties and centering around Peoria, will yield, according to the es­ timate of experts, about 400 more of this class. Investigators, who met the farmers In their post offices, at banks and even at their plows, discovered that tht>y readily told of all their transac­ tions and were free in giving details of their income. "The farmers didn't understand "irhat was expected of them and con- reqtsently jnanv of them have failed to file any schedule since the income tax has been $ law," said one in a Itositfon to know. "If they made $5,- C00 in a year and spent $4,500 of it for improvements, leaving them $500 in t^e tank, they looked on the last amount as their income. They charged t^e other to expense. "When we explained to them whiat represented their income, they were perfectly willing to comply with the requirements of the law." Although the law provides for a maximum penalty of $1,000 each ye^r of delinquency, the government has seat out notices that a minimum will b.*» accepted of $20 for 1915, $S for 1&14 and $5 for 1913, making $30 in all, for those, who like the farmers, weren't deliberately dodging the law. To Test Bottled Waters. The state board of health has an­ nounced its intention of investigat­ ing and examining Vended waters with a view of safeguarding the public against the dangers which may lurk in some bottled waters sold in Illi­ nois. "The recent epidemic of typhoid fever in Moline calls forcible atten­ tion to the danger lurking in the use of bottled waters not subjected to in­ spection." the statement says. "At the present day there is hardly a man, woman or child who does not recognize that milk, in 6rder to be safe, must come from clean dairies where extraordinary precautions are taken to prevent contamination, and most health departments provide elaborate machinery for the inspec­ tion and control of the milk business. Vended waters, however, go along un­ molested, and a catchy name and an attractive legend on the bottles seem to give the public sufficient assur­ ance that they are getting a pure and unpolluted product." Good Roads Day. Governor Dunne, in a proclamation, set apart Friday, May 19, as Good Roads day in Illinois. The day, the governor says in his proclamation, is intended "not as a holiday, but as a hard work day." The governor, in his message to the state, recites that since the enact- ipent of the Tice law of 1913, the road question in Illinois has become state­ wide in its Interest. The work of the state highway commission is referred to briefly. As activities of Good Roads day, the governor suggests grading, draining, dragging, hauling and plac­ ing gravel and other materials, under the direction of local highway com­ missioners, county and superintend­ ents of highways, good roads associa­ tions and automobile cldbs: Schools also are asked to arrange special pro­ grams for the day. lIKt' .

DEMANDS RELEASE OF TEU­ TONS SEIZED BY WARSHIP. London Asserts Prisoners Were En­ gaged in Intrigues and Plots Against the British Empire. Washington, Ap.il 29.--Secretary Lansing announceu on Thursday that the United States had sent another note to Great Britain demanding the release of the 38 Austriai.s, Germans and Turks taken irom the American steamship China by a British cruiser off Shanghai. The nc te was dispatched and will be given out for publication later. Great Britain contends the men were engaged in- intrigues and plots against the British government and, having been discovered, were Seeing to Ma­ nila, where they intended to continue their efforts which would have embar­ rassed the neutrality of the United States. London, April 29.--The British note replying to the protest of 'the Ameri­ can government against interferences with the neutral fade, which asserts the right of Great Britain to regulate the admission to a neutral country of goods evidently destined for the en­ emy, caused little surprise in diplo­ matic and legal circles here, as iti conclusions had been discounted by re­ cent decisions of the prize tribunals. A summary of the views of the mem­ bers of these circles may be expressed as follows: *They do not behove, the controversy will be carried muc> farther during the progress of t.h<- war as no vital concessions have been made by either side since the first note was written. Therefore, the shippers of detained cargoes who can afford the delay will await conclusion of the war to have their cases eettled by an inter­ national tribunal in tho belief that such a court will grant them full dam­ ages.

U. S. MEN WIN BATTLE SIX VILLI8TAS KILLEO AND MANY WOUNDED IN CLASH. Two Americans Lose Lives In Engage­ ment With Colonel Dodd's Column Near Tomachlo. Field Headquarters. April 28, via wireless to Columbus, N. M.--Two Americans were < killed and three wounded in an engagement between cavalrymen under Col. George A. Dodd and 260 Villa bandits at Tomachlo, in the center of the Sierra Madres. The Villa command under four chiefs, Baca, Cercantes, Dominguez and Ross, was surprised in the late afternoon and routed. After the bat­ tle the American8 found six dead Mexicans and nineteen wounded, while a quantity of horses, arms, and equipment was captured. Reports received here made no men­ tion of Villa himself being with the band, although it had been reperted previously that he was in hiding in the mountains in that vicinity. The Villa bandits were encamped in a jagged, rocky defile when they caught sight of the American column riding toward them, about 4:30 o'clock in the afternoonr- Immediately the Mexican bugles sounded the call to arms. Through the mountain pass the two, commands struggled, the Villa bandits dropping all cumbersome equipment In a pre­ cipitate fight before Colonel Dodd's cavalrymen. Once during the fliglit the Villa forces received re-enforcements and attempted vainly to make a stand against the Americans. When night came the pursuit became increasingly difficult because of the nature of the terrain, honeycombed as it is with mountain caves, gorges and trails, in which there are many Jagged rocks. Golonel Dodd pursued the Villa ban­ dits toward Minaca, his base, where he is now repo.rted to be awaiting sup* plies. The 19 Villa wounded taken in the engagement and the 25 horses and arms captured were taken to liiifinaca to await General Pershing's orders as to their disposition.

No Troops for Anchorage. Washington, April 29.--Secretary of the Interior Lane announced that he has requested that no troops be sdht to Anchorage, Alaska, where laborers employed on the government raUroad are on strike. Washington, May 3. President Wilson will not withdraw from Mex­ ico until Villa has been captured or killed. > Notification to this effect has been given to the Carranza government through General Obregon in confer­ ence with General Scott at El Paso and Juarez. The moment Villa's apprehension or death has been of­ ficially reported the United States will ord,er every soldier home. Further, the United States has no desire to remain in occupation of Mexican' territory one moment longer than absolutely necessary. It has no desire or intention to pene­ trate Mexico beyond certain points. If it will ease the ^situation of the Mexican government, the president is prepared to order General Pershing and all the forces under his command to take station in northern Chihua­ hua; this on condition that the Car­ ranza troops immediately display ac­ tivity in the "hunt for Villa and co­ operate with the American forces in running him down. More concern was expressed on Monday over the situation than at any time since the troops entered Mexico. General Obregon seems to have in­ structions of a precise character or his military mind does not permit him to depart from them. General Scott, on the other hand, is empowered to use his discretion on all points save that requiring the con­ tinuance of American soldiers in Mexico until Villa has been caught or killed. The authorities have some fear that Obregon, finding the president indis­ posed to withdraw, will terminate the negotiations. As Carranza must do what Obregon desires, it is apparent, the "first chief" will be compelled to back up his subordinate. War woulr^he the undoubted result of such a situation. Therefore General Scott is expected to use all the diplomacy of which he Is possessed to continue the negotia­ tions and finally to bring Obregon around to the view that the good rela­ tions of the two countries demand an adjustment of the .differences which exist as a- result of the failure to in­ flict punishment on Villa. If the American troops can remain in Mexico until Villa and his bands have been exterminated, interven­ tion, it is regarded here, would becomo a remote probability. U. S. ARMY TO BE 250,000 House-Senate Conferees Reach Ten­ tative Decision for Peace Force of 180,060. Washington, May 3. -- Substantial agreement with the senate's plan for army reorganization was reached on Monday by the senate-house conferees on the military bill. It was consid­ ered a marked triumph for "big army advocates." A regular army of 180,000 men at peace strength has practically been agreed on by the conferees. With the plans for expansion as provided in the bill which has passed the senate, this would produce an alrmy of about 250,- 000 men in war strength. The bill as it passed the senate fixed* the peace strength at 250,000 men. The agreement on the size of the army is tentative and dependent on settlement of other features of the bill.
