MEXICO'S NEW MINE
LAW MADE PUBLIC
Statute Comprises DEGREES by
Corrdnzd.

WASHINGTON, July 2o.-The state
Department to-day made public por-
tons Of the new Mexican mining law
OF interest to Americans owning mining
interests in Mexico and which went
into effect July /. This new law brings
together in a single measure all the.va-
ricus DEGREES issued by President Car
rama. The present law Is promulgated
not by Congress but under the extraor-
binary powers In the Department or
Finance granted to the Executive by
Congress In 1917.
The transitory articles. the substance
OF which were made public by the state
Department, provide that all penalties
due on mining properties prior to the
date of the decree, June 2, 1919. are
cancelled. but that taxes on mining
claims must be paid during July and
August of this year. Provisions are
nsde for the payment In instruments OF
the taxes overdue, but X the new law
is not complied with tho titles to the
properties will be forfeited to the State
The new decree also prohibits the ex-
port of gold and provides that II bars
Of mixed minerals which include gold
are exported coinable gold must be re-
imported into the country in quantity
equivalent to the gold contained in the
mixed bars
BY the terms OF the new decree the
mint Is bound TO receives only gold from
individuals for coinage
The tax rate applied to the mining
industry is graduated so that the larger
the property the heavier the tax pro-
portionately. This is done, it is said
to discourage the holding Of larger

SUGAR CROP BIGGER
THAN FOR SIX YEARS
Government Figures Discount
Claims of Dealers.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-while retail
dealers throughout the country are ad-
vislng consumers that they have Diff
ficulty in obtaining normal stocks OF
sugar the Government has forecast a
domestic crop far above the average for
the las: six years.
The Department OF Agriculture in an
estimate based on July / crop conditions
and announced to-day predicts a crop Of
2,216,O00,00o pounds. Such production
would be l47.000.000 pounds more than
the average OF the preceding six years,
OF beet ard cane sugar has slightly ex-
ceeded 2,000.000,000 pounds every year
except in 1914-15.
The beet sugar forecast this year is
higher than the record crop OF 1865
by nearly $4,000 tons, but the cane sugar
crop OF this year Is almost 100000 tons
below the average OF tine six years. The
sugar bee. acreage this year is a record
one.
In recent years the cane sugar crop
usually has been about one-fourth OF the
total cane and beet sugar produced in
the United States, but this year the pros
pect is that 1t will be only about one
seventh. Smaller acreage and a wet.
cool spring are the causes of the smaller
crop
Michigan. Colorado and Utah show
big increases in beet sugar prospects.
Forecasts show Michigan's crop as
1.15e,0o0 tons, an increase of $4,000
tons: Colorado's, 2,024. 900 tons, increase
$50, 900. and Utahs, 100000 tons, in

10000 EXPERTS UNITE.
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Army Ordnance Society to
Preserve War Knowledge.

In order that the United states shall
never again be in the defenceless state
of 1917, especially as regards ordnance
and the munitions of war, an associa-
ton of American manufacturers. tech
meal experts and reserve army officers
has been formed under the name Army
Ordnance Association. More than TO-
900 men who learned the secrets of
modern war preparation will unite to
keep these hard learned lessons always
quickly available for their country's
emergencies.
John II. Van Deventer. editor of the
American Mdchntst, and temporary
secretary of the association, said yes
terdav:
Imagine the potential preparedness
value Of 10000 OF the foremost Amer
lean Industrial experts who have been
through the war game. who know each
other. who know the sources Of our
manufacturing capacity, who know the
kind of steels and the kind OF chemicals
and the kind Of machinery that war
calls into service, and who keep this
knowledge fresh in their minds as a
national obligation.
This body OF 10000 men will repre-
sent a war handicap in favor of Uncle
Sam and worth at least nine months in
time. In the ordinary course of events
what has been learned would be for
gotten. Then. ten years from now, II
war should come, there would be the
same milling around and the same
frantic scramble for information. This
knowledge is too precious to be thrown
away. The association will maintain,
as a patriotic duty. a reservoir of tech
nical knowledge that will be ready for

gators agreed tonight that two persons
familiar with the house participated in
the murder OF Daniel Kaber. WEALTHY

grasoed the .nvalid's throat another
stabbed him. 1mprlnts OF naked fingers
were still quite distinct on the throat

his playful yapping into long sonorous

Mr.. Croker hadn't been saddened SO
acutely by a death for some time. he
said, particularly as he had caused II.
He was backing his automobile into the
garage with the two dogs frisking about
the wheels in the notion that they were
helping him steer the big machine into
its berth. Muggins was particularly In
terested in getting the car over the little
bump caused b. tho door sill. and was
leaping behind the rear wheels when the
car slid suddenly in and caught him
underneath. -,
The Long Beach folks were consider
ably shocked when the news got around,
and the persistent sound OF Mikes wall

sadness that attends the passing OF a
pet made the Croker residence the abode
OF gloom. Mr.. Croker guessed that he

similar acts are frankly described as

Cruz demonstrated that these abortiSe

yield no results, Il is added.
There Is no one else in Mexico who for
the present looms up as a logical success
sor to Carranza, and even though Car

a semblance OF order, IT, is maintained.
So there seems TO be no middle ground

However. the reluctance Of the United

to go beyond certain limits, officials
explain, and the Mexican First Chief
has about reached the limit of American
patience already.
Think Threat Would .sumce.
There arc many here who believe that
once the United States Government
definitely abandons its fruitless policy of
the last six years and prepares to deal
decis!vely with Carranza the latter at
once will mend his ways, and outraBes
against American will cease.
The consensus in diplomatic circles Is

measures. coupled with the abandon
ment OF the policy of perpetual patience
and forgiveness, would suffice to correct
the present Mexican situation. Carranza
is believed to be going Just as far "A
he feels safety permits his affronts
against Americans, and the Latin Amer
lean diplomats who understand his ways
are convinced that he will change his
methods In short order II he understands
that the United States means business
from now on. ...
The reason for Carranza's anti-Ameri-
con campaign is said to be his desire to
win local popularity at the expense OF
America, which turns out to be the case
whenever the First Chief appears In the
role of defiantly upholding his end OF
any controversy that comes up between
the two countries.
Interest here is centred on the next
move which President Wilson may make
in the situation. The President Is de-
scribed as being actuated by feeling
of the utmost charity toward Mexico
and a sincere desire to maintain har7
mony even at considerable sacrifice
But there have been rumors that the
