De Ia BARRA'5 MESSAGE
DISAPPOINTING TO MANY

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 2O.-The
message Of president Francisco IA
de le Bsrra at the. opening Of con-
gress proved disappointment to many
Of the followers Of the provisional chief
executive. When It had been expected
that the president would discuss and
make recommendations for number
Of reforms TO meet the new condition
Of affairs developed by the revolution,
the executive message proved little
more or less than a computation OF rou-
tine reports from the various depart
ments OF the government and did not
discuss policies along broad lines.
Those closest TO the president de-
clare, however, that the message was
drawn as il was, with the precise pur-
pose Of avoiding anything which would
indicate a line Of policy 1t is declared

his successor. On the other hand, he
has been frank to q degree In meeting
any question which touched on matters
requiring the attention Of the prOvi-
SlOnal gOVernm
The president did, however, indicate
IN MS message that an economical ad-
minis rratlOn Of the public moneys was
necessary at the present time, IN his
sUa tenent with reference to work hav-
ing Deen stopped on the legislative pal
ace IN this city, The passage in the
message referring TO the construction
OF the building which will be the finest
ana the largest in the republic is as
follows;
With respect to the construction OF
this building I have TO say that, in
view OF the enormous cost Of the work
and in view Of the fact that for the
moment there are more urgent public
necessities, the executive is studying
a plan for the suspension Of the work
and the subsequent cancellation Of the
contracts" As a matter Of fact that
work has been suspended for some
weeks past and the architect may go
into the courts to en- force his con
month during the course Of cOnstruc-
ton and percent on the total cost
Of the structure
New Palace Costs Too Much.
That there IS something more be-
nlnd the stopping OF the work than
the mere monthly expense OF cOntinu-
ing it. is indicated by the statement
that Of the $4,000, 600 Of pesos set aside
originally for the construction Of the
building. more than half has already
for the building has yet been COM
pleted. It Is now estimated that the
completed structure viii cost thirty
millions, or a sum nearly 60 percent
architect, whose duty IT was to super

intend the work, is demanding his 3
percent Of the money already expended
and a compromise on the amount which
would have been paid had he continued
to direct the work. 1t is considered that
the one big problem Of the building
the foundation has been settled. It took
years to put in the foundation alone as
in the treaclerOuS soil Of the valley
Of Mexico architects find this a diff
cult question even with buildings Of
ordinary size while the legislative pal
ace requires a foundation to support a
greater weight OF superstructure than
has ever been attempted before in the
history Of this capital Unexpected diff
Eculttes in putting in g proper fOun-
dalton are thought to have been the
cause of the extremely large eXpendi-
ture Of money up to the present time.
VIII Make Probe.
It is gossip in Official circles that
reports Of expenditure on the building
have not been satisfactory, and It Is
unOfficially stated that the govern
ment proposes to shut down absolutely,
make q thorough Investigation and
then start over again with an entirely
new force, to complete the work
Another point touched on by the
president in his message was a reform
inaugurated by the department Of JUS
tice by which deputies Of the public
prosecutors office make visits two or
three times day to the various police
stations to investigate the charges on
which prisoners are held and to give
the police captain legal advice on
whether or not the prisoner should be
held. Arrest, even on an ordinary as
sault and battery charge often meant
three or four days in Belem. even
though the victim and not the assail-
ant had been arrested, as was often the
case, for 1t is an often used phrase in
Mexico, If innocent, call a gendarme,
but If guilty, be sure and call him
first" It had been the experience of
many innocent parties to a disturbance
in the past that the man who neglect
ed to race for the policeman, trusting
to his innocence, was more often locked
up while the guilty was merely served
with a notice 10 appear as a witness.

the sinking could be expected on the
east side of the building while as a
matter Of fact 1t has occurred on the
west. The finding OF the engineers, II
is stated, was based on the 1act InaJ
the weight Of the postoffice and Mu-
tuaI Life buildings just across the
street on the east side of the national
theater would probably cause a SINK
ing of foundation on the east side
Architects Of wide experience In Mex
leo City declare that the committee OF
American engineers should have known
that the east side on the National the
ater rests in part on the founuaIlOn
of an old Spanish church and that the
structures built by the Spanish IN co.
lOnial times have never failed Tor want
OF q proper foundation.
Work will not be stopped on the Ma
tlOnal theater while the Investigation IS
going on as all of the interior decora-
ton has yet to be completed and II is
estimated that this alone Will take
at least two years. While no scenery
has yet been installed the stage ma
chinery has been set up and the scene
lofts are ready. Even the WonaerLul
stained glass curtain made by IlIIany
and showing Old POpo and IxtaccihuatI
has arrived and is stored in the the
alter. The curtain, II is said, cost 92O,-
600 gold and by the use Of lights be

Besides this, as the gendarmes are no
tOriOusly stupid, a man was often lock-
ed up for the violation Of some or
dinance which existed only in the mind
Of the arresting officer.
New System Works Well.
Under the new system, a man whose
position would correspond 70 that or
deputy prosecuting attorney, visits the
police stations, holds an informal hear
ing and when the case is clearly one
where the prisoner should not be held
orders his release a written report
of each case is made to the prosecut-
ing attorneys office so that a check IS
had on the deputy. Under the new ar
rangement the number of prisoners
sent to Belem prison each morning IS
not half Of what 1T was in the old days
and the minor courts for criminal OF
fences are no longer weeks behind In
their work Besides a considerable saw

The exact date OF his assumption Of the

of this struggle he found himself COM

had stood him In good stead for the
translation Of reports.
About two. years later he applied for
