Mexico City, Aug. 19.--The United
States government was given until
midnight last night by President Huer-
ia to recognize Mexico, it is officially
stated
The government is not specific in
the public announcement az TO what
course then will be pursued, but it Is
understood that it means the severing
Of all relations between the two coun-
tries.
Senior Urrutia, minister Of the in
terror, who on previous occasions has
been the spokesman for the admins
tration, was the person chosen to
make the announcement.
Senior Urrutia refused to give out
the text of the correspondence that
has passed between John Lind and the
Mexican government, but confirmed
the fact that an exchange of notes had
taken place.
Two Notes to Washington.
Two notes from Mexico have been
forwarded to Washington. The first
was reply to that delivered by Mr.
Lind II refused mediation in the Mex
lean situation or any similar sugges-
ton by foreign government. This
note included the demand for recogni-
ton OF Mexico.
The second note was sent direct to
Washington and demanded that a re-
ply to the previous note be made be-
fore midnight.
This is regarded here az an ultima
tum. One official in discussing this
latter note said that Mexico had
reached the point where it either must
bow its head in humiliation before the
United States or adopt an attitude Of
defiance. The first contingency, he
added, was regarded as impossible
War, If Necessary"
IF this means war" said Urrutia,
after making his announcement. wei!
and good. We will meet the issue we
have raised. The die is cast. The ma
tional dignity and honor of Mexico de-
manded such action. We are willing
TO abide by the results. The matter
was taken up at "a cabinet meeting and
this decision was reached.
Mexico must take the stand that no
national politics or affairs can be per
mitted from outside governments. II
the United States cares to stand aside
and look on no hostile move will be
made by Mexico"
Senior Urrutia indicated that the
matter had been considered calmly
and the government had determined
iirm stand must be taken and the re-
suits be abded by, no matter what the
cost
In Doubt on charge.
II is understood the government has
not fully determined that failure to an
swer will mean that Mr.. O'Shaughnes
sy, American charge dafraires, will be
handed his passport, but practically
the same effect will be produced by
suspending communication between
the two governments.
The text of the reply is not given
out here. Government officials said
that the Mexican public probably
would not be informed about the grave
international crisis until four o'clock
today If no reply is received in the
meantime it is understood the whole
incident will be given to the local
press for immediate publication

Ellsworth Falls, who were eighty-five

Surry, Oct. Z, 1927, just little over two
months after the Ellsworth Falls twins.
Mrs. Mayo and Mr.. Milliken are the last
survivors of a family of thirteen children,
and remarkable thing about this family
is that it contained four pairs of twins.
Mrs. Mayo is now living with her son,

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL.
Chief Features of Act to be Pre-
spnted at Augusta.


sented at Augusta.
OF all the measures to come before the
present legislature, none is attracting
more attention than the act to establish
public utilities commission.
The proposed bill provides for a public
utilities commission modelled ON the
general lines of the Wisconsin bill. Wis
consin was the pioneer state in this line OF
legislation, and the workings of the pub
lie utilities commission in that state have
been satisfactory.
The bin provides for a commission Of
three men to have the. same salary and
tenure of office as the judges of the SUI
preme court of Maine.
1t is generally understood that lawyer
would be appointed as chairman of the
commission, and at least, one of the re-
manning members would probably be an
engineer of high standing in his profess
sion. For the successful operation of the
public utilities commission, it is essential
that men Of the highest standing in their
respective lines be appointed to serve on
the commission. The commission should
have the same respect accorded to it in its
fields of operations that is now accorded
to the supreme court of Maine in general
litigation.
This commission would supercede the
railroad commission and also the State
survey office, and would control and
regulate the public utilities such as water
light, gas, telephones and telegraphs, -ail-
roads and expresses, steamboat lines, etc,
The commission would have the power
to institute public hearings of its own
motion, or upon the request of the public,
and after such hearing would have the
power to fix rates and regulate service to
be rendered by any of the public utilities
companies.
The commission would have absolute
| jurisdiction and control of the issues OF
stocks and bonds, promissory notes and
securities by any public utilities company.
| 1t would, also, have jurisdiction to APP
prove or refuse any proposed combination
of public utilities companies operating in
| the State OF Maine.
A large portion of the proposed bill
naturally deals with legislation which
provides the necessary legal machinery for
the operation of an important court of
this kind, and great care has been ex-
ercised to provide such legislation as will
give the commission ample power to
enforce its DEGREES.

Mr.. Burleigh's Election

The election of Hon. E. C. Burleigh as
United States senator to-day brings to an
end a situation in Maine politics the like
of which has never before existed in
the State.
Failure to elect would not have given us
democratic senator, but a deadlock, the
end of which it is impossible to conjec-
ture; but that it would have precipitated
long and bitter struggle it is not diff
cult to see.
His election demonstrates that the po-
iitical consciences of men of sufficient
prominence in their respective commune
ties to be chosen legislators are of the
right calibre, and cannot be swerved
from the path Of plain duty either by
such sophistry as has filled the columns
of the self-styled progressive" press; by
the aIlurements of political opponents, or
by the frantic but powerful pleadings OF an
ex-President.
Everybody knows that, as Hancock
county could not have gone republican in
September without Peters, SO Maine could
not have gone republican without Bur-
leigh; both demonstrated capacity for
organization and for conducting a cam
paign which marks them as great political
aplains, and each deserves the honor
which has come TO him. For such men
the epublican party of Maine should be
profoundly grateful.
