New COMPLICATIONS.

MEXICO CITY, July f5,-An addi-
tional complication In the relations
between the United States and Mexico
may result from the attitude assumed
by tho European diplomats stationed
here. Ii has become known that all
OF them, acting in concert, have sent
to their respective governments iden-
teal notes in which they declare that
the position taken by the United
States with reference to Mexico is con-
tributing to revolutionary conditions.
and suggesting that ~the. representa-
tives at Washington of the respective
European countries be instructed to
request recognition or that the United
States assume responsibility for at
fairs here.
The newspapers here yesterday
printed little anti-American matter,
such as characterized their columns
for several days past. By order Of
President Huerta all departments Of
the government we're closed and all
government employees were given a
holiday in honor of the French resi-
dents. who celebrated the anniversary
of the fall of the Bastile.

their arrest after their elopement to

Lola Norris. the Sacramento high
school girls. following their assertions
OF their wives and children in Sacra-
mento. Both defendants seemed to
realize the gravity Of their offense.

auditorium on account Of the rain
and had a large crowd to hear him.
His theme was The Psychology Of the

of the plant from the planting OF the
seed to the Finished cloth to the mar
velous development OF the Southland.
Or. Gray was in happiness and enthu-
iastic. He thrilled his audience, when
in closing he appealed to the people.

surpass herself In all that Ia good and
glorious and when this is done he de-
clared she will surpass all other por-
tions of the world. This declaration
was cheered loud and long.
