Many Notable Improvements In Con-
temptation.

The physical aspect Of Howard
University is to be materially inn
proved BY recommendation of Pres
ident Durkee, the trustees have voted
to erect several new buildings and
to remodel the old structures, with
view of adding to both the beauty
and utility of the school, A new adj
ministration building is to go up in
the near future, and the untidy Geor-
gia Avenue approach to the grounds
is to be altered beyond recognition.
The campus is to undergo radical
changes and improvements. A govern
ment landscape expert will super
wise the work of laying out Victory
Avenue to surround the pictures
que Howard Hill, and which is to
commemorate the part played by
Howard men in the world war. ALL
Of this building and landscape devel-
0pment Is to be along lines sug-
gested by the Fine Arts Commits
sion. In his entire program Of
scholastic and physical improvement
of the Greater Howard University"
it Is gratifying to state that DR.. Dur
kee has the warmest approval and
backing of the Secretary Of the In
terror and the most influential mem
bers Of Congress, which will insure
the granting of the funds necessary
to carry these ambitious projects to
completion in due season.
That DR.. j. Stanley Durkeee is a
sincere and substantial friend OF
Negro progress is not in question
He is the friend of humanity, regard
less Of color, creed or condition, there
is not an atom of race prejudice in
his great big heart or in any part
Of his red-blooded anatomy. This is
amply demonstrated by the whole
souled enthusiasm which has charac-
terized his labers for the betterment
OF this splendid institution, to which
he has come at a tremendous per-
sonal sacrifice, and by the far-vision-
ed outlook he is giving the race in
his unfinching determination to
bring about the reforms necessary
to expand this time-honored CEN
ter Of the higher culture and Chris
tian Leadership into finer and broad
er exponent Of University life for all
our people. DIR. Durkee merits and
enjoys the strongest and most cor
dial support the race and nation can
give him in the promotion of this
great cause.

AIExICO CITY. Sept 19.-Lega
precedent for the republic Of Mexi-
co 10 Nationalist its lands which
are now devoted 20 the production
OF petroleum, Is claimed in a state
ment recently furnished by Leon
Salinas. sub-secretary OF the de-
partment Of commerce and industry
which has this question in charge.
Laws and statutes governing the
development OF coal and oil de-
posts date back 10 the days OF the
viceroys in Mexico. the statement
says. and since that time there has
been a series OF DEGREES and laws
that firmly esta blishes the rights OF
the republic in this regard.
Congress Takes a Hand
The question IS now in the hands
Of the Mexican congress for revision
with a view TO adjudlcating claims
made by foreign companies with
vast interests in Mexico.
AS early as 1898 the Spanish gov
eminent by laws known as Mining
Statutes OF New Spain" established
the absolute dominion OF the crown
over mines and their products in
Mexico. says the statement.
Benito Juarez. president OF Mexi-
co, decreed in 1868 that the nation
has direct dominion over coal beds
Court Issues Code.
In 1881 the Supreme Court OF
Justice decided that the coal mines
were subject 10 be denounced and
that the Mining Statutes Of New
Spain" were still in force. Two
years later the congress Of the unior
amended the federal constitution
establishing the right OF that con
gress TO issue mining and CONNER
cial codes which should be binding
throughout the republic.
Based upon such authorization
and exercising the authority grant.
ed by the legislative power. the
president in 1884 issued the frs
mining code of the Mexican repub-
lie which declared, I'm substance,
that the coal and oil OF the sub
soil belonged to the owner of the
surface. This principle was follow
ed in the mining laws issued by
congress in 1892 and in 1910
The statement declares that later
in 1917. Article 81 OF the Constitu-
ton. the proposed amendment tc
which has been submitted 10 Con
gress by Pres't Carranza, recognized
the dominion OF the nation over the
hydrocarbons and the system of con-
cessions for the exploration and de-
velopment of petroleum. 1t is
claimed that the law which is now
proposed is founded upon the prin-
ciples OF the constitution.
