SHANKLIN'S RECALL DUE
TO FRICTION, IS BELIEF
Consul General Said to Have Come
Into Conflict with Brazilian Min
ister at Mexico City.

While State Department officials refuse
to be quoted on the reasons behind the
recall to the United States of Consul
General Shanklin at Mexico. it is known
that friction between Mr.. Shanklin and
the Brazilian Minister. who is looking
out for American interests in the Next
can capital, brought about the action.
Although accredited as consul general
to Mexico. Mr.. Shanklin has not per-
formed the duties of his office since the
Vera Cruz incident. more than a year
ago. He has been stationed at Vera
Cruz doing what he could in the interests
of Americans. During the Vera Cruz
trouble he rendered invaluable service
organizing a bureau Of identification and
relief for Americans seeking egress from
the troubled country.
Recently Mr.. Shanklin was sent to
Mexico City to take charge of the dis
tribution Of Red Cross supplies. 1t is
that in this connection he
sought to undertake also many of his
former duties as consul general at Mex
leo City. and that in so doing he con.
ficted with the Brazilian Minister Out
OF difference to the latter the State De-
partment. as soon as apprised Of the
friction. decided to recall Shanklin. The
latter left Mexico City early yesterday

soon as possible for the States

never did succeed In getting his goat.
and he has continued As q busy little
bee. pestiferous in the extreme to the
liquor forces ever since he started his
fight against them down In q little
country district about fifteen years ago.
But Ohio vets need not think they
will get rid Of him so quickly. He will
stsy in the State until the dry election
is over this fall He knows too much
about where to get dry workers and
how to organize them. in Ohio, for the
league to let him go right away. And
maybe they will not be rid of him en-
tirely even after that. Since Ohio is
centrally located State. and since his
work will carry him all over the coun-
try, he Is liable to make his homo in
Columbus in the future just as in the
past.
And that. for any man-to live in
Ohio-is something to crow about.

GREGORY SCANS ROCK ISLAND.
Attorney General May Bring Grim
fnal ProceedfnEs Against Road.

Suggestions that criminal proceed
ings may grow out of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions recent in
vestigation of Rock Island Railroad
affairs were freely heard in Wash
ington yesterday. No information has
yet been laid before the Department
of Justice. Some of the records made
up from the recent testimony taken
before the commission in the Rock
Island matter probably will be re-
ferred to the Attorney General. He
will determine whether it affords
ground for an investigation.
At the Interstate Commerce Com
mission there was no disposition to
discuss the matter by those in au-
thority to speak. but no denials were
entered. That there has been some
investigation of the possible criminal
aspects of the case is known. 1t was
intimated in an official quarter yes
terday that the matter was still I'M
der consideration.
