American Rights Is Issue Before
Mexican Commission

New York-The personal rights and
their economic interests of Americans
in Mexico must be considered in reach
ing permanent settlement Of the
difficulties between the United States
and Mexico, Secretary Lansing said
here Monday in an address at lunch
con attended by members Of the Amer
lean Mexican joint commission. Con-
ferences looking toward solution Of
the international problems which con-
front the two countries are to begin
shortly at New London, Conn.
I Secretary Lansing declared that if
suspicion, doubt and aloofness"
marked the coming deliberations, the
commission might expect to accom-
plish little and would leave the two
nations ''in the same tangle of mis-
understandings and false judgments
which, feel, have been the chief rea-
son for our controversies in the past"
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexi-
can commission, in reply, said the re-
suit his commission seeks is the same
sought by the American delegates and
that the mutual spirit of harmony
might be inferred from the notes ex-
changed.
Secretary Lansing pointed out that
the assembling of the commission
"manifests to the world the spirit of
good will and mutual regard which an
imates the republics of America in the
settlement of their controversies.
II need not assure you," Secretary
Lansing continued, "that my govern
ment has been inspired throughout the
past three years with sincere desire
to arrange in an amicable way the nu-
merous questions which have arisen as
a result of the civil strife which has
shaken the Mexican republic to its
very foundations and has caused SO
much loss of life and property, so
much suffering and privation.

Insurance Agents Strike.

Boise, Idaho--An insurance war has
broken out in Boise. The Pacific Board
Of Underwriters has notified local fire
insurance company representatives
that the proposed advance in fire insur-
ance rates for Boise will go into effect,
the matter having been carefully con-
sidered and the increase believed to be
justified. The company agents here do
not take the same view as to the JUS
tice Of the increase and have decided
not to sell insurance under the new
rates but to insist on the old schedule.
They expect to secure concessions.

Oregon Victims Alleged to Have
Lost $4,000 to Promoter

Eugene - Officers Of the United
States government are investigating
the record of F. G. Mathison, Sar
Francisco real estate dealer, arrested
in Oakland, CAL, Monday, according tt
a statement made here by District At
torney J. M. Devers. Attorney Devers
also stated that the authorities believe
that Mathison, who is charged with
having obtained title to real estate in
Lane and Linn counties worth from
$50, 900 to sac, 900 in exchange for
bogus abstracts Of title to Texas land,
did not operate alone and that other
arrests revealing a conspiracy to de-
fraud on an extensive scale are prob
able.
District Attorney Devers prepared
reqiustion papers for Mathison, to be
signed by the governor. In the event
Federal charge is perferred the state
will likely turn the prisoner over to
the Federal authorities for trial, he
said.
In one of the letters in the possess
sion of the officers Mathison is said to
have written that he had "unloaded
the Oregon stuff" and had done very
well. The "Oregon stuff" referred to
is alleged to have been land to which
he had obtained title in exchange for
alleged worthless abstracts of title to
Texas land.
Attorney Devers stated that in the
cases he had Investigated. the alb
stracts of title which on their face
were genuine and set up clear chain
of title purported to have been made
by an abstract company which did not
exist. The records in the county in
which the Texas land is located con-
tain no record of such abstracts.
The land Mathison purported to con-
vey to the Lane county farmers alleged
to have been swindled of their farms,
belongs to Mrs. H. M. King, reputed
to be a multi-millionaire, of Corpus
Christi, Tex. 1t is part of her ranch,
which consists of a Mexican grant that
has never been subdivided. Her agent,
Attorney Robert Kleberg, in letter
to District Attorney ]. M. Devers
stated that Mathison was unknown to
him.
From Andrew Bossen, who swore to
the complaint against Mathison, title
to Lane county land worth $40, 900 and
5000 in personal property was obtained
in exchange for an abstract of title
calling for 800 acres Of the Texas land.
Bossen announced some time ago that
he had sold his farm and that he was
going to Texas to develop his newly
acquired land.
From Pierce & Dehel, of Pleasant
Hill, title to 320-acre tract of Lane
county land was obtained by Mathison.
Marvin Martin, of Brownsville, Linn
county, gave deed for 378 acres Of
Oregon land and note for s2800 for
an abstract of title to 480 acres of
Texas land.
S. J. Johns, of Myrtle Creek, Doug
las county, was about to complete an
exchange of his property for Texas
land offered by Mathison. He took
Mathison's abstract of title to an at
torney. There was some question as
to Texas law and letters of inquiry
written to attorneys in Texas revealed
that the abstracts of title were not
genuine, it is stated.

Senate Quickly Passes Adamson Eight
Hour Day Measure.
DANGER OF TIE-UP IS AYERTED
Bill Embraces Virtually All Of Presi.
dents Proposals Measure to
Take Effect Jan. /, 1917.

Washington, d. C.-The. threat of a
general railroad strike, which has been
hanging like a pail over the country
for a month, was lifted Saturday
night.
Three hours after the senate had
passed without amendment the Adam
son eight-hour-day bill, passed by the
house Friday, the heads of the four
great railroad employees brotherhoods
telegraphed 600-odd code messages to
their general chairmen in all parts Of
the country cancelling the strike order
issued week ago, to take effect Sep
tember A.
The legislative expedient to avert
the strike was passed in the senate
by vote Of 43 to 2S-almost strict
party vote-amid stirring scenes, after
many senators, Democrats and Repub-
licans, had fought desperately to
amend the measure by provisions de-
signed to prevent industrial disasters
in the future. Some senators, thor
oughly aroused, declared congress was
being coerced into enactment of legis-
lation that it did not desire and that it
knew would return to plague it in the
future.
In both houses the measure was
signed within few minutes after the
final vote in the senate and it was sent
at once to the White House, where the
President signed it Sunday.
The bill that stopped the strike pro-
vides that after January l, 1917, eight
hours shall be regarded as basis Of
reckoning for a days pay Of men en-
gagged in the operation of railroad
trains in interstate commerce, except
ing roads less than 100 miles long and
electric lines, that they shall receive
pro-rata pay for work in excess of
eight hours, and that the rate of COM
pensation shall not be changed, pend
ing an investigation for six to nine
months of the effect of the eight-hour
day upon the railroads by commits
sion to be appointed by the President.
Efforts to amend the bill in the SEN
ate were futile, the supreme effort to
alter it having been led by Senator
Underwood, who sought to provide
that the Interstate Commerce commits
sion should have power to fix railroad
wages and hours of service in the fu-
ture. This amendment was defeated.
Railroad officials have declared that
the action of congress will cost them
$50, 600, 900 a year in increased wages
to the trainmen. Brotherhood officials
say the enactment will mean not more
than an annual increase Of $40, 000,-
900. In congress and among the rail
road officials there existed doubt as to
the constitutionality Of the law, but
what steps, if any, may be taken to
test this have not been indicated.
Quick action by the brotherhood
heads followed the action in the senate.
The measure embraces virtually all
of the Presidents original proposals to
the employees and the railroad heads,
although it is only part of the legis-
lative program he took to congress last
Tuesday when his negotiations had
failed.

Uncle Sam Will Get
Danish West Indies

Washington, D. c. Approval by
Denmarks' parliament of the treaty
by which the United States will ac-
qulre the Danish West Indies opens
the way for a prompt exchange of
ratifications between the two govern
ments and consummation of negotia-
tions that have been in progress in
termittcntly since the war between
the States. The United States sem
ate already has given it's approval and
as soon as the formal exchanges have
taken place the administration will
press measure in congress appropria-
ting the purchase price of $4,000
600, and providing for the institution
of an American territorial govern
ment on the islands.
The three islands of the Danish
West Indies-St. Croix, ST. Thomas
and st. John-lie east of Porto Rico.
and their value to the United States
is strategic from a military point of
view. The harbors ofSt. Thomas and
st. CroiX are of first Importance to
the American navy, and st. Thomas
itself lies in the lane of shipping
from Europe to the Panama canal.
Important German, French and Eng
lish mail companies have coaling sta
tions there.
The acquisition of the islands by
the ITnitad Stotnc hoe hoo, +Lo ,,,l
ject of unsuccessful diplomatic ne
gotiations since Secretary Seward be-
gan negotiations for their acquisi-
ton in 1865, because the naval op-
erations of the war had shown the ne
cessity of base in the West Indies.
A treaty was made and ratified by
Denmark, but the United States Sen
ate failed to set on it in proper time,
and it lapsed.
