Paris Unable to Confirm Report
Mexico Is to Borrow SO, coo 900.

PARIS, August 21.-No. confirmation
can be obtained here of the report
from Mexico City that bankers of Paris
and other European capitals have made
an offer to President Huerta to float a
new loan OF 100000 On the con-
trary the report Is not believed by the
Banque de Paris ct Pays Bas, which
took a leading part in the previous
loan to the Mexican government. The
story is also discredited by the bank
ing house Of Lazard Freres.
The French foreign Office. it appears.
continues to take the attitude that it
would be unwise for French bankers
to lend money to the Mexican govern
ment until the United States govern

The synopsis emphasized JerOme's opin-

at that time agreed to a stipulation
that should the vendor fail to construct
a railroad they should forfeit $4,000.
The vendors failed to build the road
and readily agreed to forfeit the
money. The state then promptly built
the road at cost Of $4,000. The COM

Inefficient Service.
The minority report by represents
tive Humphrey covers fourteen type
written pages, and in the outset ne
says: so far as the record discloses,
there has been no dishonesty prac-
ticed in the creation of the deficit.
There has been serious mismanagement
and the system reeks with inefficient
service, but there is no evidence of
moral delinquency upon the part of
htOse charged with the control of pris
Onaffairs."
Mr.. Humphreys recommends the
abandonment of the Rusk and Hunts
vile prisons; consolidation of the
system at or near the city of Houston
or some other centrally located point;
that all prisoners be worked on farms
owned by the state; the controller, at
tOreny general and state treasurer

than $4,000 a year; repeal of the con-
