PREVENT The OFFICERS
FROM TAKING ANY FEES

[specIal to The Free lrress.l

Boston, June 1.-THE Tinkham Law
which went into effect today prevents
officers and directors of incorpora-
tions and trust companies from ac-
cepting fees, commissions and other
gratuities from the companies In
which they are interested. The pur-
pose of the new law is to prevent di-
rectors from sharing in commissions
which are outright gifts and are paid
them solely because OF the reason
that they have influence in the com
ranies. The bill Is based on the Ma
tional law and provides that no fees
be paid excepting for services actually
rendered. $1,000 fine and imprison-
ment are to be imposed upon vio-
lators.

Washington, June 2.-President
Wilson and his cabinet adopted n new
policy to be pursued by the United
States toward Mexico. II has for its
object restoration of order and the
relief OF millions of noncombatants
from the deyastations Of Mexico's
military elements which have brought
about conditions regarded as intoler.
able.
The president read to the cabinet
a statement, which is TO be communl'
Gated to the leaders of all Mexican
factions. serving notice that unless
they themselves compose the situa'
ton some other means will be found
by the United States to bring about
the establishment of a stable govern
ment In the republic. The statement
was approved after prolonged discus
sion.
The specific course the United States
will pursue, in the event the contend
Ing factions fail to agree. Is not out.
lined I'm the presidents statement, but
the administrations present purpose
In to move moral support to n coall'
ton of the best elements I'm Mexico
and accord the government thereby
created formal recognition. With
such recognition would come an EN-.
barge on arms, permitting the con
stltuted government to receive mum.
tlons of war to the exclusion of ali
other elements and factions.
May Require Intervention.
That the governments policy. II un.
successful I'm this course, might re-
quire Intervention ultimately has been
considered and the intention to insist
on a settlement has not been swayed
by the possible necessity of such &C.
ton. In high executive quarters, how.
ever. confidence prevails that the ex.
preston of the American govern.
ment's attitude will clear up misappre.
tensions as to its intentions that have
existed In Mexico and will bring about
the desired coalition government.
The administrations policy Is the
elimination OF several weeks OF con
ferences between the president and
his official family. The return o;
Duval West, who spent three months
personally investigating conditions In
Mexico for the president. was the de.
Gliding factor. He brought back re.
ports showing that the food situation
was serious, that the country crops
had failed and industries were ex.
hausted. that the soil had not been
titled for lack of cattle. which had
been slaughtered or exported for
revenue. and that a terrible condition
OF affairs for the large masses of In.
nocent noncohlbatants was ahead un-
less remedial measures were under
taken.
The American Red Cross has al.
ready laid plans for the relief work
10 be carried out In cooperation with
the state department. The Carranza
agency here has issued several state
ments denying the shortage of food
and saying the stories of famine are
exaggerated. but the Washington gov
eminent is not taking these into con-
sideration because of its reports
through diplomatic and consular
sources and the personal investiga-
tion of Mr.. West.
