BILL FOR CODY MEMORIAL.
Measure introduced by Senator kIuge
of Palisade.

Denver.-Senator Herman Kluge of
Palisade introduced bill in the State
Senate providing for the construction
on Lookout mountain of memorial to
Col. VIM. F. Cody ("Buffalo Bill")
The Kluge measure is very broad in
it's scope and contemplates the raising
of fund of 100000 or 100000, to
be used in the erection of the memo
rial, which shall be regarded as the di-
rect work of several states and the in
direct work of the entire country. The
State of Colorado is asked to con.
tribute $4,000 to the total cost; Wy
oming is urged to contribute $4,000
and Nebraska like amount; Denver
also is asked for $4,000, and then the
Kluge bill goes on to recite that the
remainder may be raised the country
over from school children, civic bod
les, patriotic societies and other quasi
public organizations. The work OF
raising the money, over and above
what the three states and the City of
Denver might give, would be left to a
commission and this commission
would also have to do with the cree
ton of TIE memorial

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Mexican
American joint commission, which
failed to effect an adjustment of the
questions at issue between Mexico
and the United States after a series
of conferences that began four
months ago, was formally dissolved
Monday. Secretary of the Interior
Lane and the other members of the
American commission, DR.. ]. r. Mott
and Judge George Gray, told the Mex
leans that they had recommended to
President Wilson the dispatch to
Mexico of Ambassador Fletcher and
the withdrawal of the American
troops from Chihuahua.
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution of
the commission the Mexican problem
reverted 10 President Wilson. They
were car al not to leave in the min IS
of the Mexicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the
Recommendation that an accredited
diplomat be sent to Mexico and that
Gen. Pershing's force be withdrawn.
but the intimation that he would do
SO was conveyed.
In spite of the Americans care,
however, the Mexicans had little
doubt that full diplomatic relations
between the two governments soon
would be re-established, and that I'M
less unexpected complications arise
a
from Mexican territory within a few
days. The probability of such action
was included in the report of the last
meeting, which was telegraphed to
Gen. Carranza at Querataro:
