MOVE AGAINST
CARRANzA seen
WITH MEXICO
Newspapers Attack Cabrera
for Stand on Petroleum
Question.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Advices
reaching Washington through official
channels indicate that the recent acti-
vities of Lfis Caprera. secretary of
the treasury of Mexico, and Schiaffino,
mead OF the Petroleum bureau of the
department of industry, commerce,
and labor. have been for the purpose
OF bringing back into line the Mexican
congress and members of the supreme
court, who, it is expected indicateS
are somewhat out of step with the
Carranza regime. This was the inter-
probation of events by state depart
ment officials when they learned that
the advice to the supreme court by
Cabrera was an an official character
instead of being ex-officio as was at
first supposed.
Cabrera urged the supreme court
not to hasten the hearing of the Am
paro cases brought before the court
by the American Oil companies. The
cases are aimed directly at the presi-
dental DEGREES which led the United
States. British, Dutch, and French
governments to file vigorous protests
because they were regarded as an ef-
fort at confiscation Of foreign proper
ties.
1t is now apparent according to ad-
vices from Mexico City that there is
definite effort in congress to with
draw from Carranza and extraordinary
powers in finance under which he is
sued the "spoilation" DEGREES. IT is
pointed out by anti-Carranza leaders
in congress that the withdrawal of this
power from the president would pre-
vent repetition of legislation by
these executive DEGREES and would
ease the international situation.

1ST NATIONAL BANK
BUYS lUKEN PLOT;
ADDITION PLANNED

Plans for the enlargement of the
present bank building are being con-
sidered by officials Of the First Ma
tiona, bank which recently purchased
the ground now occupied by the Luken
Drug company, adjoining the present
bank building.
Although no definite steps have
been taken towards enlarging the
building, the matter will probably be
brought before the board of directors
at the next meeting of that body
Increase in business has caused the
present bank building to become much
too small for the banks needs, al
though the building was erected only
four years ago.
At the time the building was erected
It was so designed that three more
stories could be added to 1t, and the
front of the building extended, II the
land could be purchased.
1t Is the plan Of the bank officials
to tear the present Luken building
down and to erect a three or four
story new building, and at the same
time build two or three more stories
to the present bank building to make
1t conform with the new structure.
The building operations will probably
be started during the coming year.
