NATIONS
 INQUIRE REGARDING
 MEXICAN SITUATION
Washington Receives In- formal Queries Concern ing Step Contemplated
 by the United States

Washington, D. C.. September 16. Some of the European governments have made informal inquiries as to the Washington administrations next step in the Mexican situation.
 Ambassador Jusserand of France had long talk with Secretary Lansing to- day. Colvile Barclay, the British charge d d'affaires, discussed the situation with state department officials and notified them that orders had gone forth to British consuls to consult with American con suls on the advisablity of withdrawing from northern Mexico.
 From high official quarters it was learned tonight that no decision has been reached with respect to the recognition or any government in Mexico. The sub Ject will be considered at the Pan-Amer- 1can conference in New York on Sat urday. It is understood that press of in- ternational affairs may prevent accept ance of General Carranzas invitation to the conferees to meet him at some point on the border. but the suggestion of dis cussing with his representatives the inter- national questions involved in the situa- tion is likely to be met by an invitation to Carranza to send delegates here in- stead
 It Is said the conferees intend to give an audience also to representatives of other Mexican factions already en route to Washington.
 Much depends on the outcome of the struggle for military supremacy and the conferees will take under consideration the amount of territory controlled by each faction. It is understood, however. that several weeks probably will elapse be- fore recognition of a government is de- cided upon.
 The proposal of General Carranza. if recognized, to give due attention to the matter of claims through Joint commits sions Is understood to have attracted the attention of the French government. and is believed to have been one purpose Of Ambassador Jusserand's call today. It IS unlikely, however, that the question of claims Will be taken up by the United States until after a government in Mex leo is recognized.

Give him your subject and he will do the rest, and in doing the rest he drew handsomely from the laugh factory.
 Merle's cockatoos proved a most inter- esting number on the bill. and in addi- ton to it's genuine merit was staged elab- orately. This act is sure to please alI and especially the children and young folks.
 Hathaway and Mack rendered a line of new songs and drew applause for their dancing and furnished a few moments of real pleasure.
 As a novelty wire act. the five Leons presented an entertainment as spectacular as 1t was pleasing. They are all, clever performers and on their first days ap- pearance were warmly received

FAREWELL HAPPY
 OVER PASSAGE 0F
 MOBILE PORT BILL
Thinks Measure Means the Development of Alabama's Port as Its Import
 ance Deserves
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

Montgomery, September 16.-(Special) And now we will see the port of Mobile developed and the entire state of Ala pama immeasurably benefited" Senator Harry Hartwell of Mobile based the above statement on the passage through the house this afternoon of his bill creating harbor commission, and appropriating s40OoO (s10.0oo per annum for four years) for the purpose of getting the work we'll under way.
 The commission will consist of seven members, five to represent Mobile county and two, the mineral district The com mission is to be appointed by the gov ernor, will serve without pay, and will at tend regular monthly sessions. That the mineral district was given representa- ton is due to the fact that an open Warrior the year round had made Mobile and Jef- ferson practically contiguous.
 It will be the duty of the commission to develop the port of Mobile in order that it may become the port which nature in- tended that it should become. Senator Hartwell believed that as a result of the operation of his commission for a num- Der of years, all Alabama products will be shipped through Mobile, and that 1t will become the greatest port on the coast.
 Tt was a terrible battle" added the senator. but we have won. You may say that there Is now no happier member of the legislature than l."
 The mineral district aided in the passage of the bill, and its representatives pro- ceeded on the theory that the commits sion would develop the northern section of the state almost as much as the southern section.

SENATOR VARDAMAN
 ON JACKSON HIGHWAY

Meridian, September 16.-(SpeciaL) A committee appointed by the board of trade is trying to get up between 50 and 100 delegates to the Jackson highway convention, which meets in Nashville, September 23-24. A special train bearing the Meridian party and parties from all p3ints in the eastern and southern sections of the state will leave Meridian September 22 at a. m., and will arrive about the same hour in Nashville. A rate cf $11.05 has been secured for the round trip. The dele gation from Mississippi will be joined here by Gov Elect Bilbo, Attorney Gen eral Ross Collins, Congressman With crspoon and others. Senator John Sharp Williams has written Secretary A. Il. George of the BoaiC of Trade that it will he impossible for him to get off, but it Is hoped that Senator Varda- man will join the party. Senator Will liams, writing about the matter, says:
 "N hat your cou.n';tee proposes to do Is eminently i.ght. If there Is go- Ing to be Jackson military highway from Nashville to New Orleans it ought to te the Andrew Jackson mili- tary highway Of course. 1t is open to argument whether that or some other route would be the most useful highway. but it is not open to argu- ment that it isn't right and square to take advantage of the historical mem ory and of the associations that clus- ter around old Hickerys trip to New Orleans, and then having gotten the money and the aid on that ground to convert the scheme into something else. Nothing, by the way, in the history of the United States is better worthy of commendation than the ever memor- able march of General Jackson to New Orleans and his check of the invading enemy at Chalmette."

LUSK BILL LOSES
 AFTER SPIRITED FIGHT

Montgomery, September 15.-(Special) ) The senate this afternoon by vote of IA to F indefinitely postponed the LuslS bill which provided for a reapportionment of the school fund of the state. Under the present law the fund Is apportioned on the basis of school population. Senator Lusk would have had the fund appor- toned by the legislature on the basis of school attendance. The fight which la stetl practically throughout the day was one between the senators from the black belt and the senators from the white belt. The debate at times was acrimonious, consisting in the main of charges and counter charges. and a repetition of the old story of how the black belt, despite it's preponderance of negro population, re- deemed the state from carpetbagger and Afrcanic misrule.
 On the vote, many of the senators were not present.
