ANGELES VETERAN OF
ARMY Or UIA.
eneral Angntes IS a veteran ui me urn
. School in the Mexican federal army. He
geeved under President Diaz and was one
"the first to proclaim his loyalty to
T"resident JIadero after the latter was
elected president. During the uprising in
Mexico City he stood by Madero until the
aet but when General Huerta obtained
control of the situation remained in Mex-
ico City under surveillance by Huerta.
The latter finally gave Angeles a foreign
mission with the understanding it has
fceen said lie could not join the constitu-
tionalist movement then in its infancy.
. After a trip to Europe. Angeles re-
turned to the United States and Joined
General Carranza in Sonora. becoming
sub-secretary of war.
6T000 BY VILLA
AGAINST CARHANZ.
When personal differences between
General Carrania and General Villa arose
Angeles stood by the latter. He was then
formally deposed as sub-secretary of war
but waa retained on the staff of Vina as
his chief lieutenant in the division of
jhe north. After Villa broke completely
with Carranza Angeles became Villa's
most trusted general. To the ability of
Angeles as an artillery expert has been
attributed many of Villa's successes.
Frequently during his association with
Villa the Carranza faction has charged
that Angeles was affiliated with some of
the elements which were driven out of
Mexico by the overthrow of Huerta. An-
geles has always denied this but recently
there have been reports that he would
join one of the groups of Mexicans now
in this courrtrry and said to be planning
4 a new revolution in Mexico. Eduardo
lturbide and others prominent in Mexican
politics who declare they are liberal in
. their political principles but have not been
connected with Carranza Villa or Zapata
are understood to be identified with the
new movement and in diplomatic quarters

NO FURTHUR NEWS OF
VERA CRUZ REPORTS.
Until the exact effect of a break be-
tween Angeles and Villa if it develops
there actually has been a break and the
outcome of the differences between Obre-
gon and Carrania are known officials do
I not think it wilt be possible to forecast
developments in the situation. No nirthur
information was received today throush
offlcal channels from Vera Crus concern-
Ins; the restjmattons of the four cabinet
ministers whom General Obregon has in-
sisted should be retained nor was any ex-
planation available for the removal of
Carrania to an isolated fortress in the
harbor of Vera Crux. The Carrania
agency save out the following telegram
from Vera Crux:

out of a press controversy between

ed product. In perpetrating these frauds
the oleomargarine manufacturers have
paid only the one quarter cent when they
should have paid 10 cents; or In the case
of butter manufacturers who sold the
product as butter no tax was paid when
the government should have received 10
cents per pound. Whether the tax on
colored oleomargarine is too high Is no
concern of the treasury in connection with
its duty to enforce the law."
The announcement says that six million
frauds have been detected in two years
and that as a consequence of the activity
of the internal revenue bureau aided by
the department of Justice recipts under
the oleomargarine law in 1914 and 1915

ions since 1902. The total collections from
1902 to 1913 were 96286So while in 1914

Violators of the law resorted to Ingen-
ious schemes to avoid payment of the
tax. In many instances they purchased
palm oil with which to color their product
imported It to their factories by circuitous
routes and used it with other Ingredients
to mask it from detection. Butter man-
ufacturers compounded "ladle butter"
with oleomargarine fill.

INTERSTATE RATES
GIVE TEXAS MOCH
THE WORST OF IT
(Continued From Page One).
terstate commerce commission ruling pro-
cured by the rsilrosds enjoys the same
rates into Texas that obtain (between
Texas points in absolute disregard of
the advantage it enjoys In the matter of
Inbound rates. Therefore It can com-
pete with the Houston and Galveston job-
ber as far south as Nacogdoches if not
farther regardless of the natural ad
vantages those towns have by Virtue ot
their location on tide water sartsral ad-
vantages which the railroads do not re-
spect In this case although they strenu
ously enough insist upon respecting them
in other cass when it answers their pur-
pose to do so.
As to Dallas and Waco being st a dis
advantage of 14 cents In Inbound rates
with Shreveport in the matter of sheet
iron .which the committee has chosen
to use for purposes of rate comparisons.
they hardly can compete within the
shadow of their tallest buildings in the
handling of that commodity.
In The Post the committee lays stress
on the fact that It has made no effort
to readjust rates to the detriment of
Houston. True enough in the matter of
class rates it did not "bear down" on
Houston as hard as it did on other towns
but that was because Houston's proximity
to tine water saved it from greater hurt
trom tne comempiated readjustments.
But according to the evidence Intro
duced before the commission during the
past week even their nearness to tide
water could not sav many of Houston's
manufacturers. According to the testl
mony of the men who spoks for them
they would have to close up shop if forced
to observe the tsrlffg the committee has
prepared for them
The question at Issue Is not the preser
vation of differences in rates In favor of
Houston against Dallas or Wsco or any
other Texas point. It Is whether the
railroads shall be authorized to adopt
tariffs that will increase the sdvantages
Shreveport and other outside points hsve
been arbitrarily accorded over Houston
Dallas Waco and every other i Texas
jobbing center. It is whether abnormal
advances in intrastate rates shsll be toler-
ated though the interstate rates are not
disturbed.
