CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. is =
The chief executive of fine republic
has directed to congress message
soliciting authority to expend eight
millions of pesos in construction of
irrigation works for reclaim alton of
lands in the states of Coahuila, Ia
maulipas and Chihuahua, comprehend
ing regions that are very sterile, but
would be very productive with water.
Plans contemplated include drilling
artesian wells, constructing reser-
voirs and digging canals, with later
ais and complete systems of water
distribution.
Considerable favorable comment is
caused by the edict of Governor
Huerta, of Sonora, in abrogation of
decree No. 15S, promulgated by his
predecessor, Governor Gales, prohib-
iting sale of inttoxicants in that
state; all saying that the people of
Sonora can get along without sumpt-
uary laws.
La Compania Petroleo Cortes, in
Tampico district, has broken the rec
ord of expectation having embarked
in the first four days of October no
less than 1854, ,782 barrels of oil.
1t is announced that President Car
rama will not go to Michoacan at this
time; but he is expected to arrive in
this city tomorrow.
From Tampico there has been re-
ceived information that the campaign
against the bandit Pelaez is being
pushed with all vigor, and that in a
recent fight between his band and
federal forces under command of
Colonel Crosco, the bandit was in i'm
minent peril of capture, and saved
only by precipitate flight,
abandoning his horse, losing his hat

In a statement received at national
headquarters of the American Legion,
10 West 44th street, New York, an
organization of soldiers and sailors,
known as the World War Legion,
with headquarters at 106 H. street,
N. w. Washington, D. c., announced
the cancellation of it's plans for ma
tional encampment in Pittsburgh this
week and urges it's members to join
the American Legion. Many local
groups of other similar organizations
have already applied for charters as
American Legion posts or their mem
bers have joined the American Legion
in body.
"Since the ending Of the world
war;" says the statement, "The
American Legion has been formed
and has been officially sanctioned and
recognized as the representative or
ganization of the American soldiers
and sailors who participated in the
world war. We recognize and honor
the American Legion and desire in no
way to hinder their administration
and organization and feeling that a
continuance of our effort for the
World War Legion would be miscon-
strued as being detrimental to the
American Legion purposes, we have
decided to abandon our plans to
further organize the World War
Legion and also to call off our plans
for the national encampment which
was to be held in Pittsburgh, October

Gen. Jose Gonzales Escobar
Visiting Relatives in No
gales, Sonora.

Yesterday there arrived at Nogales,
from Cuidad Juarez and Ell Paso, en-
route to Culiacan on business OF a
personal nature, General Jose Con
zales Escobar, commandant OF the
federal troops Of Mexico, stationed at
the city first named.
Before going southwark General
Gonzales will spend in Nogales, So
nora, several days visiting with his
brother, Mr.. Gonsalo Escobar, and
their nephew, Mr.. Carlos Felix Diaz,
both well known residents of that
city, and the distinguished gentleman
is being given many marked atten-
tions by leading people of that city.
General Escobar has been in COM
mand at Ciudad Juarez some time
and his administration of his duties
has made him popular on both sides
of the Rio Grande. He is held in
such esteem on the American side
that a large number of Americans in
El Paso united in striking and pre-
sentation to the general OF gold
medal commemorative of his distin-
guished services and the people OF
Ciudad Juarez caused to have struck
and presented him another gold med
al, with the same appreciative express
sion of regard in view.
In his military operations Genera
Escobar has been pitted against the
redoubtable General Villa, and has
''done him up" to lapse into the
American vernacular.
AS remarked in one of the forego-
ing paragraphs, while he is visiting
the Line City General Escobar will
be given marked attention by the res
idents of both cities.

The general commercial interests of
the republic are reported unfavorable
to the project proposed for new none

very soon.

REDRESS IS
REJECTED BY DECISIVE
MAJORITY IN SENATE
THREE DEMOCRATS VOTE FOR AMENDMENT-
FOURTEEN REPUBLICANS VOTE AGAINST
1T; FIVE NOT VOTING; LODGE GIVES NO
TICE OF MOTION TO CUT 1T OUT
Omitted Press Service)

WASHINGTON, Octt. 16.-Late
this afternoon the Senate came to
a vote on the proposed amendment
to the Shantung settlement as pro-
vided in the peace treaty; and the
proposition to amend was defeated
by vote of SIS nays to 35 ayes.
The Shantung amendment, which
was framed in the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee of the Senate, and
reported favorably by that commit
tee, recommending its adoption,
would have returned to China, in
stead of transferring them to
Japan, concessions granted Ger
many, in Shantung, by China, un-
der duress. The treaty gave the
concession to Japan. eDfeat of the
amendment leaves the treaty un-
changed, and Japan will get the
concession to Japan. Defeat of the
Senate is a victory to proponents of
the treaty.
Outside of the League of Nations
the Shantung settlement has been
the most discussed provision of the
treaty, during the months OF con-
sideration of the pact by the SEN
ate. The amendment defeated to-
day is the second proposed texttuaI
change in the treaty to be rejected
by the Senate.
The first proposed change voted
on was a series of amendments
proposed by Senator Fall, of
New Mexico, which proposed

of American representatives from /
various commissions set up by the
peace treaty. All weresdefeated by

Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
American Federation OF Labor,
said: "Among twelve principles
proposed by the capital group to
the Industrial Conference is one
which, declaring there should be no
interference with the open shop,
concluded: "No employer should be
required to deal with men, or with
groups of men not his employees, or
chosen by and from among them."
Said MIR. Morrison: "The principle
here enunciated violates established
and prevailing customs in industry
in the civilized world"
John Spargo, Socialist member
of the public group, made a plea
for democratic American stability
in the industrial situation"

British Columbia, Death
Resulting.

Yesterday Judge W. A. O'Connor,
of the Superior Court of Santa Cruz
county, received from Mr.. r. H.
Clarke, at Pentickton, British Column
bia, a letter confirming the death of
his brother, George Clarke, of the
American Boy Mine, in the Wright,
son District, Santa Rita mountains,
in this county, which information was
given as rumor two or three days
ago.
Mr.. Clarke wrote Judge O'Connor
that his name and address had been
given by Mr.. Walter Fitz Osborne, a
former resident of Nogales. (Mr.
Osborne will be rem membered as a
brother-in-Iaw of Mr. Louis Hudgin.)
Mr.. T. H. Clarke wrote Judge o.
Connor, tat his brother, George
whom he had not seen in fifty-seven
years, had happened in upon him
about five weeks preceding the writ
ing of the letter, and had remained at
Pentickton until the 1st of October.
Shortly after the arrival there of Mr..
George Clarke another and younger
brother, Mr.. Albert E. Clarke, from
Aberdeen, Washington, came there
also. Neither of the brothers had
seen Albert in more than forty years.
The three visited together very pleas
antly for several weeks.

their departure together, to go to AL

votes equally decisive with that to-
day.
There remain two other amnd-
ments to be acted upon by the
Senate.
During twelve hours of speeches
upon the Shantung provision a
number of senators announced that
they would vote against the amend
ment; but they stated they will
support reservations, believing,
they said, that reservations will not
force re-submissiOn of the treaty.
Democrats voting for the amend
ment are Gore, Oklahoma; Reed, of
Missouri; Walsh, of Massachusetts.
Republicans voting against the
amendment are Colt, of Rhode
Island; Cummins, Iowa; Hale,
Maine; Kellogg, Minnesota; Ken
yOn, Iowa; Kris, New Hampshire;
Lenroot, Wisconsin; McCumber,
North Dakota; McNary, Oregon;
Nelson, Minnesota; Smoot, Utah;
Spencer, Missouri; Sterling, South
Dakota; Townsend, Michigan.
Senators not voting: Edge, Of
New Jersey; Elkins, West Virginia;
Fernald, Maine; Johnson, South
Dakota: Martin. Virginia. Smith
South Carolina.
Immediately after the vote was
announced Senator Lodge, of Mass
achusetts, gave notice that at the
proper time he will move to strike
the Shantung settlement out from
the treaty.
Further consideration of the
treaty, and the amendments yet to
receive action, was then resumed.
