CONTROL,

NEW YORK, July 25.-Radical
changes in the laws governing foreign
ers doing business in Mexico are about
to be made by General Carranza in de-
crees which will be included in new

Mexico must agree not to have re-
course to any other law than that Of
Mexico and that they will not be en-
titled to any privileges not enjoyed by
Mexicans. 1t will also provide that
foreign capital already invested in
Mexico may enjoy the right to be con-
sidered foreign and be entitled to the
protection of its own government until
the expiration of the concession or
agreement that it may have entered
into provided it is not for very long

MANY BALLOT
BOXES ARE OUT
NUMBER IN THE COUNTY SHOULD
BE RETURNED HERE At
ONCE.

There are number of the ballot
boxes of the county that have never
been returned to the Court House.
They are scattered about In different
places in the county. II is of the very
highest Importance that these boxes
should be returned without delay.
They must be here SO that the ballots,
poll lists and tally sheets and other
paraphernalia for the coming August
election can be sent out in them on
next Monday, July 81. It is thought
that the boxes were sent out In the
democratic senatorial primary last fall
and parties holding that election in
many instances neglected to return
them when they sent in the returns
Chairman Allen earnestly requests
everyone having one Of the boxes in
custody to attend to this matter al
once.

INDICTMENT WEATHER MAKES
RESULTS LIGHT ON FIRST
DAY OF SOLICITING.
TO CONTINUE CAMPAIGN
4 FOR REMAINDER OF WEEK
Approximately $500, or Half Of De-
sired Amount Now Pronnised-Re-
sponses in Most Cases Liberal From
Both Merchants and Professional
Men.

Rain in the afternoon prevented the
first day Of the convention campaign
by the Marshalltown Club from being
as successful as the committee had
hoped, altho approximately $1,000, or
half of the desired $4,000, was obtained.
Exactly s1,4S6 had been pledged up
to II o'clock this morning, and two
or three. of the soliciting committee
still had reports to come in.
Work Only in Morning.
Practically no work was done
Tuesday afternoon, and about $500 or
5000 was obtained by work in the
morning alone. The committee had
about $500 in pledges before they
started out on the street. These
pledges were from manufacturing and
wholesale concerns Of the city, and
also members of the soliciting COM
mittee who had contributed.
To Continue Solicitation.
The campaign will be continued for
the remainder Of the week, or longer,
If necessary. Responses in most cases
have been liberal, and merchants have
willingly given the amount assessed
chants and professional men who will
derive no particular benefit from any
of the six conventions have con-
tributed their share just to show their
loyalty to their city as well as those
who will secure more trade because Of
the presence of visiting delegates.
