that the State of New Hampshire take
over by right of eminent domain all
the leased lines of the Boston & Maine
Railroad within its borders and oper-
ate them either directly or by lease to
or corporations, is contain
ed in a Legislative measure prepared
by Former United States Senator Will
liam E. Chandler and made public to-
night. In a statement accompanying
the bill Mr.. Chandler expressed a hope
that a similar measure would be pre-
sented to the Massachusetts Legisla-
ture as a means of avoiding soivency
and receivership proceedings against
the Boston & Maine. The statement
declared that the legislation proposed
by the federal trustees as a solution Of
the railroad difficulties was inexpedi-
ent and urged that the two states
should furnish the credit or the money
which the Boston & Maine needs 10
keep itself solvent and carry on its

The bill provides for the creation Of
a board of directors of the New
Hampshire railroads. to consist of the
governor and council and five other
citizens. 1t is further provided that If
after condemnation proceedings are
begun against the railroad lines, the
state directors shall discover that jul

secured by the aid of the states which
will enable the Boston & Maine 20
maintain and operate it's lines safely

directors shall confer with the Boston

them plan for securing the loans

May Go to Vera Cruz

The order apparently will make it
impossible for diplomatic representa-
tives Of foreign governments to deal
with the Carranza government except
by going to Vera Cruz which they
have been unwilling to do, lest such
action be construed as formal recognf-
ton. Already most Of the diplomats at
Mexico City have asked their govern
ments for permission to leave, when
the situation becomes intolerable and
some of them have been advised to
use their own discretion.
Appeal Is Doubted
Reports of an appeal by Spain for
joint action in Mexico were not re-
garded here as accurate, because it
was pointed out the Spanish govern
ment most probably would consult the
United States before taking so i'm
portant step in the Mexican situa-
ton. Thus far, beyond informal dis
cussion of the various incidents to
which Spain has taken exception in
Mexico. no suggestion for such action
has come from Spain. 1t was believed
I not unlikely. however. that for the
information Of the Powers Of the
world, Spain would communicate a
statement Of the circumstances under
which the Spanish minister was de-
ported.
Administration Concerned
While high officials were reticent as
to the position Of the United States
government it is evident the treatment
of foreigners in Mexico, the food fam
inc in Mexico City and the plight Of
the diplomatic corps there have given
the administration much concern.
Very little news of the difficulties OF
tho foreign consuls and diplomats has
been permitted to reach the United
States. Through official channels and
otherwise, however, 1t has just been
authoritatively learned that for some
time barely courteous relations have
been maintained between Carranza.
and the consuls Of Spain and Great
Britain at Vera Cruz. These consuls
often have found it difficult to see
Carranza, frequently being forced to
wait for hours in his reception room,
only to DE told to call again.
The American consul at Vera Cruz,
W. w. Canada, has time and again
made representations to Carranza on
the treatment Of Spaniards. At first
he was instructed to say that the de-

MAKES
HER PROTEST
like THE US.

Rome, Feb 14-Italy made virtually
the same representations to Germany
as did the United States, concerning
neutral shipping in the sea war zone
created by the recent German procla-
nation, it was made known today.
Italy. however, did not send note to
Berlin, nor did she take any formal
step. limiting her action to friendly OBJ
servations through the Italian ambass-
ador to Germany. Italy merely asked
that her position as a neutral power be
maintained according TO the rules of
international law, taking as a basis
the right of her ships to proceed with
out molestation further than the as
certainins Of the nationality of the
people on board and the quality of the
cargoes, unless Germany should be
able to make the blockade effective.

Gen. Carranza'S
Latest Decree
For Diplomats

General Carranza, so-called
"first chief" in Mexico, has
announced his latest decree
concerning foreign diplomatic
representatives. 1t was re-
vealcd today in a telegram
from Rafael Zubaran Cap
many, minister of the inte-
rior, to Eliseo Arredordo, To-
cal representative Of Carran-
"a. It said:
"The first chief Of the consti-
nationalist army has been appraised
Of frequent cases in which persons
Of diverse nationaIties, styling
themselves confidential or consular
agents Of foreign governments
without really being so, anad other
persons styling themselves repre-
sentatives Of foreign colonies or
large foreign interests established
(. Mexico pretend to make repre-
sensations address communications
and treat directly about matters Of
an international character with diff
ferent leaders Of the Constitution
aIist army.
"This action, even in cases where
It is taken by persons actually ac-
credited, tends to disrupt the unity
which should prevail in the Con-
stitutionaIist government and to
belittIe the authority Of the First
chief Of the aforesaid army, pro-
vokins disorder and lack Of eohe-
sion in governmental decisions, with
much danger for our cause. The
detection of Gen. Francisco Villa
and other leaders Of the northern
division, involves painful expert
ence which we must bear in mind
to avoid in the future the lack Of
political discipline Of inexperienced
leaders. II is the unavoidable pur.
pose Of this government to comply
with its international duties, af-
fording just protection under tho
laws to all foreign persons and in
terests and this only be done prop.
erIy through the appropriate au.
thorities.
military leaders before whom
such representations may be made
must confine themselves to in
forming the representatives Of for
eigners that they should take such
matters up directly with the First
Chief Of the Constituencies army.
with regard to suggestions, in
situations or promises Of good Of
fees in matters Of our internal pol.
icy, which some foreign represen.
tatives make with the good inten.
ton Of helping US decide our diff.
cuIties, military chiefs should al
ways reject Thorn, declining invari-
ably all promises Of political as
sistance emanatins from foreign
ers, even though such assistance
may seem beneficial, as it should
always be remembered that all mat,
ters Of our interior policy are tho
exclusive province Of the people
and government Of Mexico"
