FOREIGN-BUILT SHIPS
FREED FROM SEAMAN'S ACT
Executive Order Issued Suspending
Operation Of Provisions for
the Time Being.

An executive order was issued today
suspending the operation Of the safety
at-sea provisions of the new seaman's
law so far as they would affect foreign
built ships admitted to registry under
the foreign registry act of 1914. The
foreign registry act authorized the
President to suspend all the inspection
features of the navigation laws as af-
fecting foreign-buflt ships applying for
American registry.
An executive order issued in Septem-
Der, 1914, suspended such laws for two
years, and 1t was supposed that it
would automatically suspend the
amendments to the inspection laws con-
tanned In the seaman's act. Attorney
General Gregory. however, held that a
new executive order would be necessary
to cover amendments to the laws sus-
pended.

The House of Representatives COM
mittee on revision of the laws OF the
United States made public today a re-
port on the work of the committee's
reviser, which was detailed to the
committee a few days ago. together
with the code the reviser has compiled
on laws relating to the common car
riers and antitrust enactments.
The code is a voluminous document.
1t contains a compilation and revision
of all the laws relating to common
carriers of interstate and foreign
commerce and combinations in re-
straint of trade.
In the past there has been no way
for the common carriers of the country
and the courts of the United States to
refer accurately to statutes except by
consulting numerous volumes of the
statutes at large, from which the codi-
fication now completed has been taken.
The code is annotated with the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, and Is accompanied with
a complete double index and long re-
port explaining each section of the
proposed code. 1t, represents several
months of work on the part of the re-

CARRANzAPLEASED
WITH j. S. POLICY
Head Of the De Facto Govern
ment in Mexico Appre-
ciates American Aid.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, November s.
Gen. Venustiano Carranza has express
ed his appreciation for what the United
States government had done for him.
In an extended talk with John Lind,
former personal representative of
President Wilson in Mexico. First Chief
Carranza displayed great admiration
for President Wilson and for the con
stancy of purpose and good will which
he has shown in dealing with the Mexi-
| can situation" Gen. Carranza also
gave voice to the hope that diplo-
matte relations between the United
States government and the de facto
Mexican government would be resumed
in a very short time.
Mr.. Lind's visit to Eagle Pass had no
official Significance, he said He was
in conference with Carranza for two
hours yesterday and it is understood
construction.
Subject Discussed.
I'm my talk with the first chief" said
Mr.. Lind, as he stepped from the pri-
vate offices of the temporary head
quarters of Carranza, at Piedras Ne
gras, "I endeavored to impress upon
him that a majority Of the people OF
the United States have regarded all
factions in Mexico alike. And 1 told
him that the prejudice against his own
people had been stirred up by Mexi-
cans in Washington and New York
who were antagonistic to his govern
ment.
I'm reply to my query why he did
not go at once to Mexico City and es-
tablish government rather than travel
about the northern country, he declared
that although the work of reconstruc-
ton was great and pressing, it was
equally important that there should be
complete understanding among the
Mexican people with reference to what
the next government stood Tor ana
it will insist upon. He declared that
neither his time nor Obregon's time
shall be wasted in the trip now being
taken IL it will bring about a better I'M
derstanding among the Mexican peo-
pie.
Striving for Harmony.
Gen. Carranza informed me most
sincerely that his government Is strlv-
ing for an efficient and harmonious
government. While 1 was with him he
showed me a telegram from Aqua
Prieta indicating that Villa had been
repulsed with great loss.
"I hope now he declared, that the
destructive work in Mexico is at an
end, and we may be able to commence
on the constructive program.
Mr. Lind boarded a train late today
to return to his home in Minneapolis.
Would Exterminate outlawry.
Gen. Carranza gave assurances to
Consul John r. Silliman that Mexican
bandits could find no refuge from pur-
suit on the Mexican side of the border,
and suggested a cooperative plan to ex-
terminate outlawry, in which the United

In European cities where excess con.

a street, park or other purpose, but
in addition as much more land as is

improvements. After the improve
ments have been made the land is held
and sold from time to time to the best
advantage or it is developed and held
by the city for Il long period until
favorable opportunity arises for it's sale.
Excess condemnation is highly de-
sirable for sites of schools, parks and
the like which are in contemplation,

having to sell their property to the city

Direct assessment, however. is open
