dry civil appropriation bill This is one
of the most important supply bills sand

than a week. AS it came from the
House II carried appropriations aggre-
eating slOe.57s.Si. The Senate commit
tee increased its amount to s1lS021. $50.
which was s3s, $50. III below the estimates
sent to Congress. Among the important
items in the bill was one carrying an
appropriation for s225.0oO for continuing
the work of the tariff board. This was
agreed to in the Senate last Tuesday
night. but yesterday Senator Reed OF
Missouri demanded a separate vote on
the item and it was granted. resulting
in the passage of the tariff board ap-
preparation by a vote OF "a ayes and 10

Among the other amendments added by
the Senate was one by Senator Pomerene
Of Ohio. which appropriate $4,000 for the
Pension ONCE to be used in the employ
ment Of extra clerks in the temporary
work OF adjudicating claims under the
Sherwood service pension law, passed
at this session. Senator Pomerene point
ed out in support of his amendment that
there will be $4,000 Of these claims filed,

KNOX TAKES UP
ATTACK ON MEXICO
Secretary Of State Expected to Issue
Statement in Reply to Charges
of Senator Fall.
MEXICAN ACTION SATISFACTORY

Secretary of State Knox. who returned
to his office yesterday from trip to his
summer home at Valley Forge, Pa. al
once took up the matter Of the sensational
attack made upon the State Department
and the Mexican government Monday by
Senator Fall Of New Mexico in the Sen
ate Mr.. Knox declined to discuss the at
tack. but probably will draft an answer
to the charges which will be issued within
the next few days. Whether the reply
will be given publicity through the press
or will be sent to the Senate has not yet
been determined.
State Department officials confirm a
statement issued by the Mexican for
eign minister, in which he rays that the
Mexican government has adtudicated a
number of the claims OF American citi-
zens growing out OF the firing across
the border at FL Paso. Tex, and Doug
las, Ariz. A large number of claims have
heen laid before the State Department
amounting to several hundred thousand
dollsrs In all instances, IL was stated.
the claimants We're referred to the Mex
lean government. whose people did the
shooting. The Department. 1t is said,
has not assumed the responsibility of
rejecting the claim Of any one.
Department Is Satisfied.
The attitude OF the Mexican govern
ment in considering the claims has been
satisfactory to the State Department.
There has been some cooperation be-
tween the two governments. to deter
mine the validity or genuineness of the
claims and Mexico has taken up the
matter of their adjudication. Some time
ago the Mexican foreign office notified
the State Department trat awards had
oeen decided upon in Connection with
the claims at Douglas. ATiZ., and that
the money for their payments had been
sent TO the Mexican consul there. This
money will be paid TO those whose cases
have been personally examined by the
consul and approved by him.
Very few of the people al FL Paso who
demanded redress have filed claims with
either the State Department or the Mex
lean government. A number, who claim
TO have been personally injured or suf
fered heavy property and financial
losses. notified the State Department
more than a year ago that they would
take the proper steps looking to obtain
ing redress. According to State Depart
ment authorities. they were referred to
the Mexican government, with the re-
quest that they notify the department II
they were unable to obtain satisfaction.
The Mexican government, according to
the State Department, appears TO be
acting ir good faith and anxious TO ad
judicate all the claims. II appears to be
taking great care, however, that no
claims without warrant are being allow
ed. number OF claims have been re-
jectsd as without grounds. A number Of
Americans all along the boundary have

their property in order TO demand pay
