MEW YORKERS PH
RIG HOME TAX
15,000 People Pay On Income pf £1,
000,000,000—Rich District ^lext ,
to Poor Section.
NEW YORK, July 16.—The income
tax for the ten months of 1913 and
1914 collected by internal revenue
-collector Charles W. Anderson for the
lower district of Manhattan island
totaled $15,000,000. Most of the
money was paid in the last three
days of the fiscal year. The tax in
dicates that the citizens of lower
New York, numbering 15,000, made
$1,000,000,000 in the ten jnonths for
which the tax was collected.
Next to this district, believed by
many to be the richest in the world,
is the Bowery district, one of the
poorest in the United States, and
) equaled in only a few continental
cities. In one square mile 600,000
people are crowded in the worst con
ceivable tenements, families consist
ing of as many as ten persons In
some instances living in one room,
eating scant meals, sleeping mostly
on fire escapes in summer to get
away from the sweltering heat and
earning but a few dollars a week.
As far as known no other single
square mile has 600,000 people crowd
ed upon it.
Reported Big Interests Are After Him
. ecause He Favors President’s
Trust Program.
WASHINGTON, July 16.—The Sen
ate, in executive session, unanimous
ly voted to make public the testimony
of Thomas Jones, personal friend of
the president, but whom the Senate
refuses to confirm as a member of
the federal reserve board. Yesterday’s
session, at which the testimony was
.re-read, developed the , fact that
Jones had said nothing especially
bad and that all jbe had done was
to say .that he favored the Wilson
trust program, and it is believed that
his endorsement of the. Wilson trust
plans have caused the big interests
to fight his couflrntatibn.
It is now beltevpd that t£p,presi
dent will secure the cpngfipptloit of
his friend in spite of senatorial cour
tesy, which refuses to Mow a obn
firmation’ if a senator from the state
in which the. appointee comes ob

HUERTA RESIGNS AND STARTS FOR COAST;
REBELS WILL ENTER CITY IN A FEW BAYS
MEXICO CITY, July 16.—The res
ignation of Provisional President
Huerta as president of tne Republic
of Mexico was read today to the
joint session of the Senate and the
House and was accepted by a vote,
of 221 to :17, T>ut pot until several
members had objected to the resig
nation as a w-ak submission to the
United States, which had meddled in
the affairs of Mexico and aided the
revolution.
Huerta was wildly cheered as he
finished his address and said: ‘Ac
tuated by the highest motives of pa
triotism and complying to the su
preme duty I owe to my beloved
Mexico, I resign my office as your
president in the hope that by so
doing it will end the civil war now:
raging and save the people of the
republic much misery. ’
Immediately after the resignation
of Huerta Foreign Minister Carbajal,
former Chief Justice of Mexico until
appointed foreign minister so that
he might act as provisional presi
dent during the change from the Hu
erta government to rebel control, was
sworn in and is now president of
Mexico.
All members of the Huerta cabi
net also resigned and left with Hu
erta and Vice-president Blanquet for
Puerto, Mexico, to board a German
steamer for Europe.
Provisional President Carbajal will
resign his office as soon as a gen
eral amnesty has been declared pro
tecting all who aided Huerta or who
sympathized writh his cause. He will
also arrange for the peaceful entry
FOREIGN .MINISTER CARBAJAL I S SWORN IN AS PRESIDENT—
CARRANZA WILL KEEP VILLA OUT OF MEXICO CITY

of the rebels into the city and thus
prevent bloodshed.
The foreign legations are all pre
pared for trouble, although it is hoped
none will follow the change. With
the change of administrations the
foreign ministers made no effort to
conceal their readiness to protect
their nationals and mounted machine
guns in the windows of the lega
tions which could sweep the streets
leading to the foreign section in
which all foreign residents have been
urged to remain until the conditions
develop and show how the populace
will act under the change to Car
bajal.
JUAREZ, July 16.—Gen. Villa, first
military chief of the rebel army,
when notified that Huerta had fled
from Mexico City for the coast and
was certain to escape to Europe with
millions of dollars, regretted greatly
that he could not have captured the
provisional president and have ex
ecuted him for the murder of Ma
dero. When questioned as to his
future course towards the constitu
tional government and if he intended
to become president or to make an
attempt to secure the reins of gov
ernment from Carranza, the war.chief
stated that he had no designs upon
the presidency, but nevertheless did
not think that Carranza had been
fair to him In blocking his advance
to Mexico City after he had won all
the victories and driven Huerta from
his entrenched position at Mexico
City.
Close friends of Villa say that he
dare not venture into the lines of
the army maintained by Carranza at
Torreon or go west, where Gen. Ob
ejon is strong, as he would be ar
rested and probably executed, as all
the rebel generals resent his suc
cesses aed hold upon the people of
north Ceatral Mexico.
A secoi.revolutiaon is almost cer
tain to be started within a few
mon'hs, as Gen. Villa has been saving
his forces and preparing to maintain
his authority over his army. Several
train loads of ammunition were sent
sooth from here yesterday to his
army, all of the ammunition having
been smuggled across the border
with but little opposition by the cus
tom authorities, no arms having been
confiscated at El Paso for several
months.
MEXICO CITY, July 16.—News
reached this city today that Emiliano
Zapata, the southern revolutionary,
had published a decree rejecting any
allegiance to Gen. Carranza and say
ing that the constitutionalist chief
had refused to accept the ‘‘plan of
Ayala,” the orginal agrarian proc
lamation o'it the southern leader.
Zapata is said to have declared
that he intends to extend his op
erations along the western Ibast of
Mexico as far as Sonora and that he
will fight Carranza "forever.”
The information was brought to
Mexico City by persons who arrived
from towns under the control of the
followers of Zapata in the state of
Morelos
VERA CRUZ, July 16 —It is hoped
and expected that after today there
will be enoiugh food in ‘this city to
break the combination into which the
local merchants have entered for
cornering the food market and thus
raising the prices far above anything
ever charged before. Gen. Uunston
has taken energetic measures against
the trust, and has made it possible
for merchants in Galveston and oth
er ports in the United States to
compete. The goods concerned were
the better quality of canned fruits,
sugar, tea and dried fruits of all
kinds as well as green vegetables.
There was no question of a dimin
ished supply, but of a combination
and agreement by which prices were
advanced uniformly. As the customs
duties were heretofore too high for
any independents to seek to enter
the field, the merchants, Spanish,
German and Mexican had the market
at their mercy.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16—A1
wild bull escaping from the herd at
the freight yard ran amuck through
the Nob Hill district early this morn
ing, driving all the people on the
streets into buildings and the bull
finally climbed four flights of stairs
in an apartment bouse, breaking in
to the rooms by smashing the doors,
and forced the half clad sleepers to
flee for safety to the fire escapes
and to the roof of the building.
Not a policeman could be found
by the people, who were in danger,
and a cowboy lassoed the bull and
when he had it conquered and was
leading it back to the cars, policemen
in large numbers, with drawn re
volvers and as brave as lions, ar
rived on the scene and wanted to take
the bull away from the cowpuncher,
but he only laughed at them and
continued to the cattle pen with it.
Charges will be filed against the
policemen along the beat which the
bull followed because they fled and
left the citizens unarmed and with
out protection.
