Mexican Denies Charges.
New York, Oct. 30.-Luis Cabrera,
chairman of the Mexican American
joint commission, said here that he did
not authorize the statement issued by
the Mexican news bureau in Washing
ten assailing American officials for al.
legged laxity in dealing with anti-Car-
rama propaganda in districts along the
border. A representative of the Mexi-
can news bureau conferred with the
Mexican members of the joint body in
Atlantic City recently, Mr.. Cabrera
added, and probably carried back with
him to Washington the impression that
the Mexican commissioners were of the
opinion that the United States should
adopt a firmer attitude toward anti
Carranza propagandists. ~
carranza Emissary Assails v. S.
Washington, Oct 30.-Luis Cabrera,
chairman of the Mexican commission
TO the United States, made public
scathing denunciatiOn of the failure OF
the United States to keep order along
the Mexican border.
Cabrera asserted substantially,
among other things, that, although the
United States government has at its
disposition sufficient laws to make it
possible to maintain order on the bor-
der, the government is not enforcing
these laws.
The Mexican commissioner asserted
that scores of conspirators are at work
along the border in plots menacing the
peace of the United States, and that
these cOnspiratOrs are known both to
the United States government and to
the Mexican government.
Cabrera asserts that despite the
knowledge of the administration con-
cerning these plots no arrests have
been made or are in contemplation. !
He also charged that the government
was competent to restrict the expOrta- !
ton of arms and munitions which /
reached the bandits, but that the adj !
nlinistratiOn had not taken the proper ,
steps to do so.
While refusing TO enter into any dis |
'cussion of the statement ut this time, |
administration officials characterized 1t |
as extraordinary.

gave to the press. /
