pective pupil has ever been student at

satisfactory reason must be given for dis
continuance
Superintendent Davidson declares the

GAMB0A'S DENIAL

Mexican Foreign Minister Says

Otherwise Is Doomed to

The rtported denial by Foreign Min
lister Gamboa of Mexico that Manuel de
Lamacona Inclan is on his way to
the United States as an envoy of the
Huerta administration is not understood
In official circles here today. in view of
the fact that this government has al
ready been sounded on the question of
whether Senor de Zamacona would be
received
Senor de Zamacona left Vera Cruz be-
fore any definite intimation regarding
his probable reception here had been
given by the Washington administration.
1t is considered possible, therefore, al
though very improbable, that he is
really on his way to the United States
on private mission
Ofncials here are taking for granted
that he Is on his way to the United States
to carry on further negotiations with this
government, despite the denial in Mexico
City. They believe that his ultimate OBJ
1ect in coming is to float loan, with
or without the announcement OF the
American government

The amendment was vigorously defended
by the author and reads as follows:

$4,JnO position, which has been allotted in
three equal portions to Representatives
Floyd, Jacoway and Goodwin. The latter
two gave notice that they did not intend
TO have this state Of affairs any longer,
and the caucus supported them. The
upshot of the matter is that Mr.. Floyd
will have to carry Jerry South. That
means he gets three times as much pat

sentatives Jacoway and Goodwin will
have S1,5O0 worth of patronage apiece
to distribute as they like.
Following this, Mr.. Jacoway, not in

Marshall Diggs. He will be sentenced

before noon, released on the present

sirable alien and quickly deported.
/ Opinion differed as to what course
would be followed once Thaw was in

EOne opinion was that he would be
returned to Coaticook,- where he was
arrested, and from there deported, if
he proved undesirable, to the nearest
border point in Vermont or New
Hampshire.
Another theory is that Thawss coun-

would demand that he be taken there

that the whole proceedings would be
transferred to Montreals where the
