would welcome any method whereby the
city could rid itself OIL a number of stat
ues and monuments which cucumber its
parks and open spaces.
THE trouble Is that In the past the
city authorities have been far too lenient
both In accepting monuments which as
works of art are appraised far too highly
and in giving up valuable sites out of all
keeping with the Importance of the SUBJ
ject to be immortalized."
Many Of the monuments. he said. are
in n bad state Of disrepair, perhaps the
most glaring example of this condition
being the Washington Arch.
He further suggests that d survey be
made OF the city's recreational facilities

MEXICANS SHOW NO
SIGNS OF YIELDING
They Raise New Points at Two
Long Sessions Of Joint
Commission.

ATLANTIC CITY. Nov. 2:-Two pro-
longed sessions OF the American Mexican
Joint commission to-day were really a
talkfest that got nowhere. Many points
Of discussion were opened up by the
Mexican delegates. but there was no an
swer from them as to whether or not
they would yield gracefully to the plan
that the American commissioners had
set before them as the settled determina-
ton OF the United States Government.
LUIS Cabrera, chairman Of the Mexi-
can delegates, returned from Philadel-
sion and Joined his associates. lie had
recovered his composure. and the mo-
ment he entered the joint session room
he showed he was Just as prolific as
ever with suggestions for changing the
phrasing Of the proposed agreement
that has been laid before him and his
associates by Chairman Lane.
The entire day was devoted TO arsu-
ment over certain phrases and clauses
IN the American plan Of settlement that
has been offered practically as an ult!-
matum to Mexico. Hut in the discus
sion OF these points there was no promise
from the Mexicans that they would ac-
ccpt the plan after the notifications.
The situation. II Is said. was practically
the same tonight as 1t was last night.
The American commissioners. having
shaken up the Mexicans and given
Chairman Cabrera considerable to ponder
over aside from the memorandum. APP
parcntly were loath to press the Mexi-
cans for any definite answer. How
long they will permit the talkfest to con.
tinue cannot he learned.
Two reasons were given tonight for
Cabrora's attitude and his continued
policy OF evad!ng the American commits
sioners at every possible turn There is
"A belief among some of the Americans
that Cabrera and his associates will
yield eventually. One excuse for Ga.
brera's conduct is that he was directed
by First Chief Carranza to delay a de
cison as long as possible. Another Is
that Cabrera, realizing the futility oi
agreeing 10 the American proposition
without proper financing OF the Carranza
Government. Is doing his utmost as Min
Ster Of Finance to float a loan In thi,
country before agreeing to the term,
set down by the American commission
ers. II has been pointed out that withou
money Carranza cannot keep his arm!
together and cannot properly patrol tn,
border.
1t was learned as fact to-day tina
! the proposition had been laid before tn
President by Americans not connected
with the commission Of providing a LOAF
Of $50. .OO0. 900 for Mexico. taking as Sc
curity the remaining third Of the un
mortgaged taxes on imports. Hope n
