MExICO'S NEW THEATRE
MONUMENT TO GRAFT
Government Is Now Waiting To See
What Part of 100000 Pesos Was
Wasted in the Construc-

Mexico City, Jan. 20.-Doubtiess the
time will come when MeNicos national
theatre. the construction of which was
commenced seven years ago, will be com
pleted, but it may be styled monu-
pient to graft,
Beautiful m its outlines and contain
ING the best materials obtainable, Mex
leans have long told strangers with JUS
tifahle pride that it was to be the most
magnificent playhouse on the American
continent, adding that its cost when
completed would be l2,000000 pesos.
Now the government is waiting for the
reports of its experts to know Just what
mart OF this sum has been wasted and
what part can be saved without altering
the plans of the architect.
The investigators turned up informa-
ton that has resulted in the arrest of
the chief mason, who is charged with
having carried away enough building
material to enable him to erect few
private residences for himself. He de-
MES the charge.
Within the first week of the year
the investigators claim TO have found
proof of frauds amounting to 100000
pesos. They allege that supposed solid
cement parts specified in the contracts
have been made with gravel cores and
the contractors paid $3.50, Mexican
currency, meter, when the material
supplied cost about $475, A division
with those "h'igher up is limited at.
Carrara marble, which figures largely
in the, construction of the building APP
pears to have been sold and resold to
the government.
But there is another problem connect
ed with the theatre that is worrying
the government officials more than that
of the suspected graft. The building is
sinking. In spite of the honest opin-
ions of skilled and experienced engineers.
it appears some one made Il mistake
in his calculations.
The building covers the greater part
o. a block. The subsoil OF the capital
is the bed of an ancient lake and at
depth of six or eight feet, water is
encountered and below nothing but mud
for a great depth. The engineers de-
cided to utilize the floating base, con
strueted of layers of steel beams joined
in one great bed of cement. On this
steel and concrete base sunk twenty
feet or more below the surface, the struc-
ture was reared The theory of the
engineers was that if it sank at all, it
would do so uniformly and that scores,
possibly hundreds of years, would pass
before the subsistence was perceptible.
The following figures just taken show

TAFT's NOTICE TOO WEAK.
Allowed Russia to Assert Passport Ques-
ton Had Nothing To Do With 1t.

London. Jan. 2O.--The Jewish Chron-
iele prints letter from Max Nordau,
the noted writer, with reference to the
abrogation of the Russo-American treaty.
In it he says that President Taft could
not help denouncing the treaty, but man
aged to do it in such way as to en-
able Russia impudently to affirm that
the passport question had nothing to
do with it. Russia will not yield
to the United States" says DIR. Nor
dan. II will not insist that no other
government will initiate the United
States, but the English Jews won't stir.
The situation for the Jews in Russia
will be worse than before, the anti
Semites in America viii make the Amer
lean Jews pay heavily for their manful
stand that's all"
