Clayton Scores in Important Case.

Washington. July 80 United States
Ambassador Clayton at Mexico has
succeeded in securing q restitution in
one of the largest embeZzlement cases
before the Mexican state department.
Some time ago James Brown Potter,
representing large American and Eng
lish interestes in the Tlahualilo Mining
company of Mexico, appealed to the
state department for Justice, claiming
that by FRAUDULENT conspiracy some
of the directors OF the company had
embeZZled funds to the amount Of over
$2,0000C0. This, it was charged, was
accomplished by packing elections and
the bestoWal of illegal powers upon
one of the directors in the company.
The fact that some inferior Mexican
officials We're involved in the conspir-
acy made it almost impossible to OBJ
tain justice by the ordinary methods
the state department referred the
case to Ambassador Clayton, and he
brought it to the attention of the
Mexican government and pressed it SO
that he is now able to re-
port that the conspiratOrs have been
obliged to disgorge all of the money
and securities they had obtained by
their fraudulent operations.
