Although Carrsnza was recognized
mora than a year ago and the note OF
recognition invited him to SEND an am
bassador TO Washington, this is the
first time that such relations nave Deen
established by his government. Al hTs1
the exchange of ambassadors was de-
laved by the failure of the Senate 70
confirm Fletcher's nomination. IL was
held up for months while the proprlety
OF recognizing the Carranza govern
ment was debat5S.
Finally, when the nomination was
confirmed, the American expedition uf-
der Pershing had crossed into Mexico.
II was felt al the State Department
that while this unpleasant situation eX-
listed it would be improper to establish
diplomatic relations, particularly wheh
the Parral and Carrizal incidents de-
veloped.
Now, however, Ambassador Fletcher
is being sent TO Mexico with the
avowed object of establishing more
complete understanding. Fletcher, is
understood to hold the opinion that
General Csrrsnza is not altogether the
obstructive quibbler he has seemed. he
will attempt TO develop feeling OF
mutual confidence between the govern
ments. and incidentally to induce Car
rama to take a more plant ATTITUDE
toward the United States.

SENATOR CROMWELL SEEKS
TO HALT GARBAGE PLAN
Bill Would Prevent Taking Refuse
from One County to Another

Albany, Jan. Ex-senator Cromwell,
of Richmond County, introduced to-day
two bills which would prevent New
York City from establishing its gar
bage plant on Staten Island. They
would prohibit the transportation OF
garbage from one county 20 another
without the consent of the State Com.
missioner Of Health and the Board OF
Supervisors of such county or other
local board.
In New York City the bills would
REQUIRE that such consent shall be OBJ
tanned from the aldermen who are res
idents of the county. The bill provides
that existing contracts for the disposal
of refuse or garbarge entered into by
any city, village or municipality or any
county where such consent has been
obtained shall be abrogated.
The bills also would require the con-
sent of the State Commissioner OF
Health and the local authorities for
the operation Of all refuse or garbage
disposal plants.

DENMAN, M'ADOO's CHOICE,
HEADS SHIPPING BOARD
Secretary of Treasury Forestalls Move
by Republican congressman

Prom The Tribune Bureau
Washington, Jan. 30.-The United
States Shipping Board to-day elected
William Denman, Of San Francisco,
chairman. Secretary McAdoo was not
present, but his wishes were carried
out 70 the letter
A curious feature of to-days action
the first by the new body-was that
the three members Of the board other
than Mr.. Denman were picked by Ber-
nard n. Baker, who recently resigned
rather than submit TO Mr.. McAdoo's
dictation. These members are John a.
Donald. Of New York; James b. White,
of Kansas City, and Theodore Brent,
Of New Orleans.
There was some surprise to-day that
Mr.. McAdoo did not wait until the
member to take the place of Mr.. Baker
had been named. There had been state
ments on Capitol Hill that the next
candidate would be asked by the Re-
publicans on the Commerce Committee
before they permitted his coniirma-
ton whether he would vote his own
free will as TO the Craftsmanship. To
days action will prevent such line
Of questioning.
