tion. Prof. Maurice c. Tsnquary of Chi
csgo. arrived here yesterday on the

Objection to Discharge of Bankrupt.
IN BAD STRAITS.
Mexico's Economic Situation Said to Be
Serious.

Washington, D. G., May 23.--The eco.
nomic situation in Mexico is extremely
grave, according to official advices yester-
day to the state department. With the
monetary problems already acute, the
food shortage without prospects of any
| immediate relief and with the labor
strike extending over virtually all the
Mexican railway lines, the de facto gov
ernment is pictured as facing serious
domestic plight.
First hand reports as to the situation
in northern Mexico will reach the depart
ment to-day. Consul Letcher from Chi
huahua City is on the way TO Washing
ton, presumabl bringing with him a
synopsis of the reports of five consuls
recently ordered to the border to talk
over conditions with military officials
there.
The department yesterday received fur
ther adyices from Special Agent Rogers
at Mexico City telling of the new note
that was in process of preparation by
the de facto government; but the mes
sage threw no light on its purport.
While reports as to the domestic sit
uation of the Carranza government are
gloomy, the attitude of Mexico officials
toward the United States has been de-
scribed as more friendly since the bor-
der conference between Generals Scott
and 0bregon. 1t is believed possible this
will be reflected in the new note, al
though some officials think it probable
that new request for withdrawal of the
American expeditionary forces viii be
included with whatever other proposals
General Carranza has TO make.
Reports from General Funston that
1l6 members of the Texas National
Guard had refused to take the muster
ing oath and enter the federal service
under the presidents call, brought mem
bers of Congress from that state to the |
war department yesterday to find out |
what action was in contemplation. They |
we're told the matter had not yet reached |
Secretary Baker for consideration. Mr.. |
Bakers military advisers are preparing /
for him. They appear
10 agree that the men are subject to
,ourt martial under the existing militia
aw. and it is known that some officers I
believe they should be tried and fined as
i warning TO national guardsmen in gen.
,ral that they are undertaking serious
in joining the organiza-
ion.

to keep the electric signs and window

This feature will have to be handled
