MEXICANS LEARN
 DEMANDS OF U. S

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 2-The net result of the nine-weeks of confer hnce of the MeXican-American joint commission, which adjourned today over the election until November 10 is that the Mexican commissioners have learned that any agreement by the commission must cover not only the policing of the frontier but Mexi- can internal affairs, it was learned after the conference adjourned. The American commissioners insist that any adjustment must deal with the basic principles of Mexican govern" ment.
 The Americans have made it plain to the Mexicans that before General Pershing's troops are withdrawn Mexico must demonstrate that the presence of American troops along the border or even in Mexico is un- necessary to prevent further raids by bandits.
 The American commissioners have largely increased their knowledge oi hctual conditions in Mexico.

THREE PLUNGE WITH
AUTO INTO RIVER
keokuk Men Have Narrowing Expert
ence Returning From Fish
ina Trip.

While returning from fishing trip
yesterday evening shortly after 600
O'Clock, an automobile driven by
John Cameron and containing Arthur
Nichols and Merle D. Inskeep, sktdded
on the slippery road in front of the
Lakeview club house on the Hamil-
ton-Nauvoo road and went into the
river, a drop of about ten feet. All
three occupants Of the car were
plunged into the cold water. Mr..
Nichols jumped from the car and
sustained a broken leg. The other
two were not injured other than be-
ing bruised and shaken up.
All managed to swim to safety and
the car was later rescued. The wa
ter into which it fell was about sew
en- feet deep. The road where the
accident occurred was slippery and
wet from the rain and the water was
beating on the windshield, partially
obscuring vision. When the turn
was made near the club house, the
party came sud- emily on an automo-
bile, which it is said was parked on
the wrong side of the road. In max
ing a quick turn to avoid a collision,
the rear wheels of tie Cameron auto
mobile skidded and the car went ove-
into the river.

that by the end of the week the con-
