of the American members the Mexican
commissioner outlined developm ents
from the time of tho Aguas Calientes
convention in 1914 until the present.
The object of the American commits
sioners In pursuing this line of inquiry
was not disclosed. The Aguas Calientes
convention was held after the revolu-
tionary armies had entered Mexico City
and before the break between CarranZa
and Villa precipitated new complica-
tions. The failure of the revolutionary
chiefs represented at the convention to
find a method acceptable to all under
military rule led to the fighting be-
tween CarranZa and Villa.
Pay Respects to President.
No afternoon session was held, the
commissioners going together to the
Mayfower to pay their respects to
President Wilson.
The call of the commissioners on the
President was arranged after they had
suggested it in a message of sympathy
transmitted by Secretary Lane. In their
fore leaving the United States they
hoped to have the opportunity of pay
ing their respects in person to the Presi-

short, about 1900 out of a total of 49,
900 miles are today in operation. either
directly by the government or private

Secretary Lanes Statement.

1t was explained that the question OF
transportation was vital to any resump-
ton Of industry in Mexico, and to show
present conditions, the Mexican COM
missioners presented figures from which
the following conclusion was drawn in
a formal statement issued by Secretary
Lane:
THE data presented by the Mexican
commissioners indicate that the gov
ernment roads now are being operated
with a large degree of regularity. and
that the roads owned by private COM
panies are being turned over to these
companies. the only exceptions at the
present time being a line in the federal
district, one in the state of Hidalgo and
the United Railways of Yucatan."
Summary of Conditions.
The following summary Of conditions
in Mexico from the data supplied by the
Mexican commissioners also was given
out:
THE American commissioners ex-
pressed the desire that they be inform
ed to the fullest extent possible as to
the true conditions existing in Mexico.
The Mexican commissioners gladly
agreed to furnish all the information
would directly or indirectly enlighten
them as to the present control of the
Mexican government over the country.
Mr.. PAM, who Is also director gen.
eral of the railway lines of Mexico. in a
statement says the Carranza govern
ment at the time when Villa was at the
height of his power controlled less
than 1000 miles out OF the 1900 miles
Of railways in operation in the whole
country. When the Carranza govern
ment was recognized in October, 1915,
the mileage under Carranza's control
had increased to about 10000 miles, and
much effort was being expended to the
repair of the system in order to make
it available for regular operation.
