B. McSain. who appeared before the city
council Thursday morning and asked
for an investigation of the records of
the tax collector's office extending over
a period of several years in order that
the apparent shortage in taxes collect-
ed may be located.
102 Delinquencies.
Collector McSain reported that there
were 102 cases of delinquency record-
ed in his office but that many respon-
sible citizens of 1 Paso had appeared
at the tax collector's office and have
shown receipts for their taxes the col-
lector said. For these receipts pro-
duced by the taxpayers collector Mc-
Sain said no record exists in his office
or on any of the tax rolls. McSain de-
clared that while it was impossible to
ascertain exactl the amount of the
apparent shortage it will amount to
several thousand dollars.

US. TO PUBLISH
UlSITHITEi
Acceptance of Germany's
Terms Believed Likely; In-
demnity Is Problem.
Washington. D. C Aug. 10 With
the permission of Germany the United
States is soon to publish the last note
in the Lusitania case which was sub-
mitted by German ambassador count
von Bernstorff nearly six months ago.
There has been no Intimation as to the
precise date when the note would be
made public The fact that It is to be
published is believed to indicate the
United States' acceptance of the terms
of the note.
The communication dated February
16 last deals only with the principles
involved. It does not mention the
amount of indemnity Germany is to pay
or how or -when the amount will he
agreed upon. It simply "recognizes lia-
bility." promises to make reparation
by the payment of indemnity gives as-
surances for the future and declares
that reprisals such as ruthless subma-
rine operations must not be directed
at other than enemy subjects.
Discussion of AniotintN.
Until now there has been absolutely
no official discussion in regard to the
luestion of indemnity. The German
government Is represented as feeling
that having signified its willingness to
make reparation the United States
must make the next move toward se-
curing it.
The communication when submitted
b count von Bernstorff was regarded as
being tentative and the United States
refrained from accepting it because of
the declaration by the central powers
of their intention to treat as warships
armed merchant ships of the entente
allies.
Many Claim Filed.
It has been indicated by offh ials of
the denartment recentlv that it annar-
ently being evident that Germany was
living up to her promises the Lusitania
note the wording of which occupied
much of the time of secretary Lansing
and count von Bernstorff oer a period
of many weeks should be published.
The Berlin foreign office offered no
objection.
Hundreds of claims for lives and
property loss on the Lusitania are on
file in the state department. Heirs of
victims have filed claims ranging from
$5000 to $1000000 each The total of
the claims on file and details regard-

HUGHES IS
ENEMY OF LABOR
; Democratic Party Gives Out
Gompers' Letter Eeview-
mg Hughes' Decisions.
Washington D C Aug. 10. In an
apparent effort to make out that for-
mer justice Hughes of the supremo
court of the United States is unfriend-
ly toward organized labor. Democra-
tic party managers have given out a
letter written by president Samuel.
Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor to Thomas H. Nichols of Al-
liance Oho. reviewing Mr. Hughes's;
attitude in supreme court cases involv-
ing the interests of labor particularly
the Danbury hatters' case.
Mr. Gompers's letter reviews the
Danbury hatters case which resulted
in an unanimous decision in the su
preme court in which former Justice
Hughes concurred holding the hat-
ters of Danbury must individually pay
D. E. Loewe and company some $300-
000 damages under the Sherman law
for the celebrated hatters' boycott. It
also referred to the court's decision
holding unconstitutional the Arizona
anti-alien labor law. Former justice
Hughes wrote the opinion.
"In that decision" wrote Mr. Gomp-
ers "justice Hughes took the position
that the injunctive process applies to
personal relations. Mr. Hughes na
taken an unequivocal position. He
endorses the abuse of the writ of in-
junction against which wage earners
have vigorously protested and which
they have tried to correct by remedial
legislation in order that they might
enjoy the rights and opportunities of
free citizens.
The above is accurately the Infor-
mation which you asked and I take
it will be of importance to you as well
as to the working people and liberty
loving citizens all over the country in
enabling them to understand the men-
tal attitude of Mr. Hughes who now
Is a candidate for the presidency of
the United States."
Foreign Relations Commit-
tee Is Now Passing Judg-
ment Upon the Deal.
Washington D. C Aug. 10. The
treaty by which the United States
would acquire the Danish West Indies
for $1500000. recently signed by sec-
retary of state Lansing and Danish
minister Brun now Is before the sen-
ate foreign relations committee and
probably will be considered early next
week. It became known today that the
treaty was sent to the senate in execu-
tive session Tuesday and referred to
the committee without discussion.
At the request of the Danish foreign
office the terms of the convention are
to be considered confidential until both
governments agree to have them an-
nounced. The fact that $25000000 is the con-
sideration to be paid by the United
States leaked out some time ago how-
ever and in a general way the nature
of the document has been discussed.
Will Guarantee Danish Rights.
It Is understood that in return for
the cession of the islands of St- Thomas.
St. Croix. St- John and "adjacent Isl-
ands and rocks" with all public oulld-
lnsrs formications public funds rights
and concessions belonging to the Dan-
ish government the United States is
to pay in gold the sum of money stipu-
lated within 90 days after ratification
of the treaty maintain certain grants
licenses and concessions granted in
the islands by Denmark and guarantee
me ngnis oi uanisn citizens residing
in the ceded territory.
Senator Stone chairman of the for-
eign relations committee said consid-
eration of the treaty would be hastened
and that it would be ratified by the
senate before adjournment of this ses-
sion. He will call a meeting of the
committee early next week.

Notwithstanding the desperate fight-

not burned by the Austrians nor
destroyed by the Italian artillery Are;
nor were the inhabitants injured these
having previously evacuated the city
It was the desire of Gen. Cadorna. to
save Gorizia from destruction and to
that end he employed strategy. After

Gorizia not only from the front across
the Isonzo but from the sides and
