Ambassador Clayton Does Good Work
on Mexican Embezzlement Case.
(By Associated press.)

(By Associated PrcSS.)
WASHINGTON. d. G. July 29.-United
States Ambassador Clayton. at Mexico.
has succeeded IN securing restitution in
one OF the largest embezzlement cases
before the Mexican State Department.
Some time ago James Brown Potter, rep
resentins large American and English
interests in the TIahaulilo Mining Com
pany of Mexico appealed TO the State
Department for justice. claiming that by
a fraudulent conspiracy some of the di-
rectcg's of the company had embezzled
funds to the amount of over S2,00O000.
This, it was charged, was accomplished
by packed elections and the bestowal of
illegal powers upon one Of the directors
of the company.
The fact that scme inferior Mexican
officials were involved in the conspiracy
made it almost impossible to obtain jus
tice by the ordinary methods.
The State Department referred the case
10 Ambassador Clayton and he brought
IT 10 the attention tf the Mexican Gov
eminent and pressed il so vigorously
that he is now able to report that the
conspirators have been obliged to dis
gorge all Of the money and securities
they had obtained by their fraudulent
operation.
