Washington. July So-A definite
step toward settling the Mexican
problem will be taken by the United
States government in the near future
Authoritative announcement to this
effect has been made at the State De-
partlaent. although the nature of the
contemplated action was not dis

The President is known to have
been reviewing the situation for some
time. the warning Mexican factions
having failed to heed his suggestion
of two months ago that they accom-
modate their differences and restore
peace. Apparently he has determined
that the other measures which the
Washington government announced it
must take if the battle of the factions
continued, must now be resOrted to.
One More Appeal TO Carranza-
The Presidents most probable
course. it is reported. would be to
urge General Carranza for the last
time to confer with other faction lead
ers, in an effort to bring about peace
ShOSld CarranZa again refuse. this
plan. it is said, contemplates efforts TO
assemble other Mexican leaders who
will represent a majority of the Next
can people Such conference, il has
been suggested. might be held in
Northern Mexico. If it is possible to
free it from military interference II
not, il might be held across the border
in the United States
The conference would arrange for
a constitutional convention which
would plan for an election and the
establishment of a government which
the United States would recognize and

WON'T STAY IN JAIL.
CarOna Beer Seller EVadeS the
Law by Invoking Aid of
Habeas Corpus.
ACTS LIKE AN ENDLESS CHAIN
Cherokee County Courts and Officials
Kept Busy by Activities of In
fIuentiaI Italian.

How many times can corpus be
''habeased'' out of Jail? Whoever can
answer will solve the question con-
corning John Comba of Carona, a min
ing camp in Cherokee county, and
give the sheriff, probate judge, district
Judge and Comba himself a little peace
of mind Comba sells beer to his fell
low countrymen and some others. He
buys il by the carload and has it ship
ped to Asbury, Mo-, near the Kansas
line. Transfers then haul it into
the Carona, Roseland and Mineral
mining camps.
The sheriff's force for some time,
however, has been hating Comba's
wagons and teamsters and detouring
them into Columbus, wher the liquor
is placed in the basement of the Jail
and the teamsters upstairs. Comba
has obtained his release periodically
through parole.
Recently Judge ]. \. Dunbar re
voked Comba's parole after a former
liquor conviction and put him in jail
without a further hearing, on the
charge that he again was violating
the law, taking the same action in
other liquor cases. This was some
thing new in the code of law in the
county.
The other offenders are serving out
their sentences but Comba employed
counsel and a writ of habeas corpus
was sought. After a hearing before
the probate court the writ was denied
and Comba appealed to the district
court and obtained his release by i'll
ing an appeal bond.
