Rights of Foreigners
RELATIONS HURT

WASHINGTON. Jan 25. - Future relations of the Mexican de factO gov ernment with the United States may be materially affected by the manner in which the suggestions Of Secretary Lansing regarding the proposed radi- cal changes in the constitution are re- ceived by General Carranza and the members of the constitutional con gress now in session at Queretaro.
 The protest delivered to the for corporation in the new constitution of provisions limiting property hold ings of foreigners, and providing for other restrictions of the rights Of for eigners. was made after the receipt at the state department of numerous complaints from American with prop erty in Mexico. Enactment of such constitutional provisions may prove cause for diplomatic entanglements. not only with the United States gov ernment but with other governments whose nationals have invested in Mexico.
 Secretary Lansing's protest against the adoption of a provision for con- fiscation of property was based on the article in which it is stated;
 Would Seize Property
 Private property shall not be seiz- ed for public purposes without com pensation. The need ot utility of such seizure shall be determined by the proper authorities. but in the event of any disagreement as to terms the appropriation shall be carried out by the judicial authority"
 Further basis for protest was found in a continuation of the article read ing:
 Civil and commercial corporations may own urban property and msnu- featuring or industries either in or without inhabited places; they may also own and exploit mining proper. ties and those containing oil or other subsoil substances. as well as rail road and pipe lines. but they may not

 Why does Canada fight in this cen flict?" the Senator asked. Tn the first place because We are not too proud to fight.

Five Hundred and Sixty-Five Ballots, Stafford Precinct No. l Complete, Show Camp bell in the Lead.
FIFTY BALLOTS LAID
 ASIDE AS DISPUTED
Court Will Make First Decis- ion on Contested Ballots Today-May Be Decided in Three Months.
Especial to The Review

 | PHOENIX, Jan. 5.-Five hundred ballots were counted today. the. open ing day of the trial of the Hunt Campbell sovernorship suit in the SUI. perior court and when the court ad- journed at four o'clock, one entire pre- cinct, Stafford No. had been passed, with the exception of about fifty bal lots laid aside during the inspection. and one dozen laid aside as disputed during the day.
 Speeds Up Court
 On the resumption of the case this afternoon, Judge Stsnford requested counsel for Campbell and Hunt ro stipulate that when inc tellers agreed in their count on undisputed ballots, that these ballots be left out of fur, ther proceedings; in other words that the recount determir the number of regularly marked bal ots and the num- Der of disputed or irregular ones and that the court be rsquired to pass only on the es,Ils.-gall.sts.
 During the morning session. the two tellers, one named by each side had worked separately. Upon suggestion of Attorney Bullard, the tellers were sworn in as court attaches and pro- vided with seats together, So that they proceeded.
 Another important result was to de- termine to pass or rule on all disputed ballots at the end or recounting the precinct in which they occurred. In this way, each precinct will be treated as a distinct section. the ballots will be sifted for irregularities, the dis puted votes will be decided and award ed and at the end of each little hear ing. that precinct will be tallied com plete.
 Campbell Leads
 Stafford No. 1 showed the following figures recount: Hunt 269, Campbell 296; official count, Hunt 301, Camp bell BPS; inspectors count, Hunt 303, Campbell 321. During the course of the day Bullard laid aside Hunt bal lots as questionable and Ives laid aside 5 for Campbell for the same req. son.
 The trial opened with the filing and arguing of a demurrer by Bullard to the entire proceeding. This was over ruled.
 Bullard then attempted to bring in the election boards, as the most com petent men to attest the ballots were the actual ones cast in the election, counted by the boards and canvassed by the boards of supervisors. This motion was over ruled. After some time spent in arguing the prelimnar- ies the tally clerks or tellers were brought forward and the recount be- gan.
