MEXICO WORRIES WILSON
Conditions Worse than at Any
Time Since Fall of Diaz.

Washington. May 27.-Mexico is
causing much worry to the administra-
tion. and the chaotic conditions in the
northern part of the country and the
utter disregard Of the rebels for Ameri-
can rights are approaching an intoler-
able state II is more than probable
that President Huerta and the rebel
leaders soon will be informed by Presi-
dent Wilson that better protection for
Americans and their property will be
expected.
The Department Of Stale is with
holding much information about OUT
RACES against Americans in Mexico, but
enough facts are known to.warrant the
assertion that there is a strong anti
American sentiment because of the
failure Of President Wilson to recog-
nize the Huerta -Diaz regime.
There is mucn interest over the re-
port from Mexico City that Dr. William
Bayard Hale was sent to Mexico by
President Wilson as a special envoy TO
study conditions Confirmation OF the
report could not be obtained to-day
but it is assumed that, in any event
Dr. Hale will furnish President Wilson
with much information about affairs in
Mexico. as the two ale close friends.

tical. the artistic. the aesthetic welfare
of the city is in excellent hands. May 1t

and sympathetic point of view in respect

The proposal 10 limit the height OF

The committee OF nineteen which APP

SYSTEM WRONG.
Commissioners of Accounts So
Declare in Report to Mayor.
RECOMMEND COMMISSION
Mahoney and Rice Believe Pub
lic-Spirited Men and Experts
Should Study Question.

After a seven weeks study Of the pen
sion systems of the various city depart
ments Jeremiah T. Mahoney and Harry
NJ Rice, Commissioners OF Accounts
recommended to Mayor Gaynor yester-
day the appointment of commission TO
take up a scientific investigation of the
subject
I'VE were Of the opinion" the report
stated, when We suggested the investi-
cation Of the pension system that We
might be able to present to you as re-
suit Of our examination and comparison
OF the pension systems here and else
where a report containing final recon-
mendations that might remove the exist
ing abuses attendant upon the pension
funds, both i'm their creation and adj
minlstration. We now believe. however
that the entire subject is Of such vast
Importance that the views of public
spirited men and Of experts in actuarial
analysis should be obtained before any
policy is decided upon
There are at present the following pen
sion funds established under the charter:
College Of the city OF New York. Normal
College. Fire Department. Health Depart
ment Police Department and Street
Cleaning Department. There also is a
general provision made Tor employees who
nave served the city i'm other depart
ments for a certain number Of years
and have reached certain age.
The Commissioners OF Accounts reported
the following findings as result OF their
study. That the present pension laws
are founded on wrong principle; that
the pension laws are inconsistent in their
application to the different departments;
that the erroneous principle and incon-
sistency of the pension laws eliminate the
possibility Of a complete budgetary con-
troll, that the pension laws are discrimi-
natory in their application 10 the civil
service. and that there exists possioil-
it's for discretionary administration Of
pension funds"
The Commissioners recommended that
the Commission suggested by them TO
make "A scientific investigation Of the sub
jet should consider the following ele-
ments. which appear to require remedies
Of a constructive nature
Legislative enactments TO secure the
creation Of a permanent pension board; ;
uniform assessments OF employees in de
partments operating under the pension
system. reversion OF pension funds TO a
