 DISCUSS ANGLES
 0F EXCISE LAWS
Clubs Having Minors As Members Offers Problem
 on Licensing.

Hartford, Aug. 12.3The county com naissioners of the state held g. special meeting at the Allyn house today to discuss the intricacies of the club 1i- srense question. Commissioner Jacob Walter of New Haven presided and Commissioner William Bailey, Jr. of Hartford, was secretary. Ten com nissioners were present, Fairfield. Windham, and N1iddlesex counties not being represented. Denunciation of the club license law was unanimous and drastic.
 While no individual commissioner would be quoted it was the coneensus of opinion that the law is imperative, uncertain and vague in it's meanings and imposes a heavy burden on the county commissioners. It was pointed out that one of it's sections makes it imperative that licenses shall be re- fused to clubs having minors in the mem bersF1ip, and yet some of the best clubs in the state take as members 1s- year-o1d sons of those already mem .bers.
 Thesa clubs will have to drop their younger members or be deprived of the privi1ege of serving liquors A consnittee consisting of Commissioners Jacob Walter of New Haven, Robert A.fPeter of Hartford, and John Brophy Of Fairfield county was appointed to draft forms for apIicatfons to commits 6ioners for certificates.

 State department officials were pre- pairing today the list of governors and generals to whom the appeal is to be sent. in the hope that the petition will have widespread effect on public opinion in Mexico.
 with the return of the President it was again reiterated that the inter- American peace plan does not con- Template in any way the use Of force Or the Impairment of Mexico's sov- ereignty or interference in her domes- tic affairs.
 The purpose of the appeal is to in fiuence the Mexicans themselves to hold a peace convention and the gov ernment created by that action will be accorded recognition whether or not the acquiescence of all the factions is obtained.
 The sending of nattleships to Vera Cruz and other movements that may Hollow are described officially yLas pres anEzonafy measures to afford assist anless to foreigners, but officials feel assurance today that there will be no necessity for any such action.
 Secretary Lansing declined to com ment on General Carranza's letter of protest against the Pan-American peace plan. He said no reply had been made. The feeling is that when the ePan-American conferees appeal is read it will be evident that Car ranza has been misinformed as to the 1f I1o Ian nd is confident hope that some of his . hitherto close supporters will revive their adherence to the idea; of a peace conference.
 General Carranza issued from Vera Cruz today. through his Washington agents, a denial that any outrage. either were committed or contem plat ed against foreigners within his juris diction. His message said:
