Washington, July 6.-The danger in
Mexico is not entirely past despite the
friendly note in which Carranza avows
his Willingness to negotiate with the
United States IN regard to the matters
in controversy. The crisis is past but
the border problem still remains.
The three features Of the sitgAtion
still calling for adjustment are the
withdrawal Of the punitive expedition,
the cooperative patrol Of the border
and the cleaning up Of northern Mex
ico, wiping out the bandit bands that
menace the border
Most Of the officials here believe
that the next three months will see
the American troops entirely out OF
Mexico The greater part Of the mile
tia will be back under the protection
of a strong force of regulars
President Wilson and his cabinet
are expected to take up the Mexican
question at their meeting tomorrow.

In letter to City Attorney GrigsDy,
under date Of July 5. Bond Melton q
Melton set forth the status Of the
Chickasha paving case IS follows.
Dear Judge:
You requested that advise You the
present status of the case Of O'Brien
ct al, vs.. the City Of Chickasha. ct al,
involving tneavalidity Of the paving as
sessments III District No 3, Chicka-
sha, and whether or not the plaintiffs
intended to appeal the case to the SUI
preme court Of the United States. You
are advised that in June, this year, the
supreme court Of the state of Oklaho-
ma rendered its final decision in the
case on re-hearing, reversing the iudg
ment Of the trial court, which enioin-
ed the collecting Of the paving assess
ments, and held that the action brought
by the plaintiffs could not be main
tanned to test the vaiidity Of the as
sessments for the reason that the ac-
ton was not filed in the district court
until more than sixty days after the
date of the ordinance leyying the as
sessments. After this decision was
rendered by the suprame court an or.
der was entered staying the issuance
OF the mandate in the cause pending
application for writ OF error by the
plaintiffs TO the supreme court Of the
United States. Since this decision, |
have had no opportunity to consult
Judge stuart with reference to wheth.
er or not an appeal should be proseeut-
ed to the United States supreme court.
Judge Stuart is now on his vacation
and viii not return until about the mid
die Of July As soon as he returns,
shall consult with him, and after con
sultation. the plaintiffs viii then de.
termine whether or not the appeal will
be prosecuted
You also make inquiry as to wheth-
Ter or not penalties on unpaid assess
ments involved in this litigation are
to be collected in case no appeal is Ia
ken Upon this question express no
positive opinion. though / am inclined
to the belief that no penalties should
rightfully attach while the Judgment Of
the district court declaring the assess
ments invalid and enloining their col
lection remained in force and upre-
vcrsed. In this connection. you are
advised that if for any reason the case
should not be appealed TO the supreme
court Of the United States. or if ap-
pealed to the supreme court OF the
United States. aud the Judgment Of
the supreme court Of Oklahoma af-
firmed. | think the plaintiffs should

ment, the city has authority to do this
and to direct the collection Of unpaid
