WASHINGTON, D. C., May IL
The unsatisfactory state of relations
between the United states and Mex
leo probably will soon induce the ad-
ministration to take some definite at
titude toward recognition of the
Huerta government The fact that
several foreign countries have al
ready accorded recognition is said to
be having an influence upon the
United States. Ut IS expected that
very soon a new ambassador will be
appointed to succeed Henry lane

Pail Mall Gazette today in discussing

.'The opinion that the Japanese

those dangerous genera1ities which

The Pail Mall Gazette expresses
the opinion that there are several
reasons why Japan may be desirous
of forcing the issue at the present
moment. The most obvious of these
is the pending opening of the Pana-

Employment of an expert grade cross

may be- the course of action taken in
the near future by the city commits
sion.
Two experts, one from Memphis and
the other from Minnesota, have been in
the city recently and in conference with
City Commissioner Weatherly Mr..
Weatherly stated that he could not give
out their names at this time but he has
been holding conferences with them and
has gone into the matter In some de-
tail.
At the commission meeting yester-
day Mr. Weatherly told the other COM
missioners of his conference with these
experts and In the near future the COM
missioners will hold a conference as to
the advisability of employing one OF
them for few months. They are high
salaried men. both having had much ex-
perience and they have devoted their
entire careers to this kind of work
They would not be needed but a month
or two, however, it is said.
I'VE are not contemplating employ
Ing another assistant city engineer"
said Mr.. Weatherly yesterday after the
meeting. This is merely a move to
get some outside assistance to pull us
out of a bog. The city engineering de-
partment has more than it can do. The
railroads as we'll as ourselves are now
waiting on this report and recommen-
dations as to a grade crossing system
and Mr.. Kirkpatrick himself tells me
that it would be some two or three
months yet before he could do anything
even If he could give the matter his
entire time and attention, which he
cannot by great DEAL
These men whom l have in mind are
men who have devoted their entire
attention for years to just this work
and have worked out grade systems for
other cities in all parts of the country.
If we can secure one of them, his serv-
ices will be of inestimable value and
the grade system movement will be
again set in motion. Otherwise it may
be months and even longer before any
thing can be done.''
The commissioners will hold con-
ference on the matter in the near fu-
ture.

representative of the commission to be
present at the meeting last night during
the auditorium discussion.
