released Friday afternoon, and began
their journey 10 New York city.
In releasing the hides, the local Gus
tom authorities stated that all ship
ments from Mexico coming into the
states under similar conditions. will be
held up for investigation The delay in
shipment was the result of a request
from W. Harrell, secretary of the Pan
handle and Southwestern Stockmen's
association, upon the custom officials
Mr. Harrell took the position that a
writ of injunction might be secured
and the hides tied up pending federal
court proceedings. Several decisions
from the higher courts were studied
bearing upon the title to possession of
the hides and when these were found
to be adverse, the request for further
holding OF the hides was withdrawn.
It is understood, however. that suit
may be instituted by the respective
owners of the hides against the import
ing company, but this action would be

which are said to bear the brands Of

Bic j. s. LOAN
May Take Over Some Mines
For a Time to Reestablish
Financial Stability.

Officials Of the Carranza government.
both in Juarez and in Ell Paso, state
that negotiations are pending for the
making of a loan that will aggregate
many millions of dollars, for rehabili-
tating the school system Of the re-
public. The program, it is said. is to
float school bonds, issuing them upon
the school lands of the republic and
those to be created by the de facto
government as security. Banks inter-
ested in this proposition are said to be
from the representative banking CEN
tors of the United States. and a gen.

now on his way to Queretaro to lay

from the bullion strike off sufficient
geld and silver coinage to restore the
financial balance of the country. This,

The reply sent by the American government to
Germany is clevey enough worded 1t reminds one of
the note to the Carranza government, in which the
existence OF an agreement to American troops in
