Secretary Bryan that inasmuch as the
United States has not recognized the
present government in Mexico the ambas-
sador there is not given the attention ne
is entitled to. Mr.. Del Vale would not
discuss this report.
Secretary Bryan himself. following his
morning talk with Ambassador Wilson.
announced that he had talked with MI
Del Vale. He said, however. tnat ne
would say nothing about Mr.. Del Naiie

was about.
Mr.. Del Vale said that he had been In

Mr.. Del Vale lives in Los Angeles, and
formerly was state senator, and held
other positions there. He Is an Ameri-
can, but his ancestors were Spanish, ana
he speaks Spanish excellently. He was
therefore able to talk more freely with
Mexicans than could the ordinary Amer
lean.

Reports as to Family.
Mr. Del Vale was much amused over
the reports about his daughter publish
ed at the time he left for Mexico. The
report was to the effect that his daugh-
ter was going to Mexico with him. and
that he was going as the agent OF
Secretary Bryan. His wife and daugh-
ter went part Of the way with him, ne
said, but did not complete the journey.
MY daughter is a patriotic and brave
girl" he said. when l left her ex-

got shot to be certain that l was shot
from in front and not In the back"
Mr. Del Vale said he expected to re-
main In Washington for several days,
and that before leaving he would pay
his respects to President Wilson.
He added that he was much surprised
when he arrived in Mexico City to find
out that the people there were almost
totally ignorant Of conditions in the
northern part Of the country. This was
due principally to the almost total sus-
pension Of all kinds Of communication,
he said.

ADMIT BUR[ESON
KEPT W|TH|NLAW
Senate Committee Not to At
tempt Repeal of Order Low
ering Parcel Post Rates.

Postmaster General Burleson's order
Increasing the sise OF parcels and re-
ducing the rates on these parcels in
the FIRST and second zones Of the par
cells post service, to take effect August
10, will be allowed to stand, without
Legislative attempt to repeal II. II WAS
learned today after a meeting of the
Senate post Office committee.
The consensus OF opinion among the
members OF The committee was to the
effect that the order was wise. and
would be Of beneft to the public, and
would not result In a loss to the gov
eminent. az was at frst feared. The
Postmaster Generals explanation OF
hts reasons for the order, given the
committee yesterday. went far to COR
rect the first impression Of the COM
mittee.
The committee conceded today that
the Postmaster General had not ex-
ceeded his authority under the law, as
at first charged by some Of the sena-
tors.
No Action by Committee.
No vote was taken today on either
the bill or the Joint resolution offered
by Senator Bryan OF Florida, asking
for the repeal of that section of the
parcel post law under which Post
master General Burleson is given au-
thority to change parcel post rates
after consent by the interstate COM
merce commission. 1t Is understood
that no effort will be made, unless SEN
ator Bryan takes the matter to the
floor of the Senate, to enact legislation
to prevent the order of the Pos ,master
General, promulgated today, from taxi
ing effect.
Some OF the senator's, however, believe
that the law at present allows the
postmaster General 100 great powers In
the matter OF changing rates. They
believe that this Is a matter which
should be controlled by Congress-, and
for that reason the law may be mod
flied in the future.
Senator Brlstow and Senator Bryan
continued their opposition to the order
or the Postmaster General in the COM
mlttee To-Day, but 1t was early apparent
that should the matter come to a vote
they would be defeated by large ma
jority.
The committee will meet again Mon
day.
Order Promulgated Today.
The order of Postmaster General Burle-
son increasing the size of parcel post
packages and reducing the rates was
signed last night, and officially promul-
gated In the daily bulletin today
The order follows:
"On and after August Is, 1913. the limit

with the bill during Its consideration

during the last three days has been COM
paratively slow. due to the many amend
