RESIGNS FROM
MEXICAN POST.
As Ambassador, Fletcher
Urged Virile Policy To-
ward Bandits.

Henry p. Fletcher has resigned as
Ambassador to Mexico.
Confirmation of Mr.. Fletcher's res
ignation was given by the State De-
partment. where for the past year he
has been acting. under the title Of
Ambassador to Mexico. as a special
adviser to Secretary Lansing on all
Latin-American affairs.
Mr.. Fletcher took an active part in
the negotiations that grew out Of the
abduction of William c. Jenkins,
American consular agent at PuebIa.
and his subsequent arrest by Mexican
authorities on the charge that he con-
nived with the desperadoes who kid
mapped him.
He also took a very active part in
the work OF the special Senate. sub
committee. of which Senator Fall, Of
New Mexico. is chairman. which has
been investigating Mexican affairs for
some time He worked with Senator
Fall on certain features of the in
quiry. and Is understood to have CIV
en- him valuable information on the
so-called red propaganda" spread in
the United States by Mexican agita-
tors.
Mr.. Fletcher is probably more famil-
lar with Mexican affairs than any
other official of the administration.
He has always been an outspoken ex-
ponent of a virile policy. believing its
adoption would eliminate virtually all
trouble between Mexico and the Unit
ed States. and yet pave the way for
peaceful relations.
He was in Mexico when the pro-
German spirit was at its heighth. In
deed. he once rode in a procession in
which was the German minister. &C.
cording to testimony given before a
House committee. and the German
minister was cheered. whereas the
American Ambassador was ieered.
Mr.. Fletcher is a Republican. and
his vacancy will give the President
another important diplomatic post to
fill.

Legion Protests Leasing
Land to Private Firms

The American Legion post at Kla-
math, Ore, has protested to the
Interior Department against the
leasing of land near the klamath
Lake to a San Francisco firm. il was
learned at the once of Secretary
Lane yesterday.
The former service men contend.
according to Mr.. Lanes office. that
the land should be cut up into
homesteads for soldiers. Engineers
say the land is swampy and not fit
for homesteads in its present shape.
As a result OF the Legion's pro-
test. the department is considering
asking Congress for funds to re-
claim the land instead OF leasing it
to private parties who would re-
claim it and use it for a term of
years after which il would revert to
the government.

CENSUS RACE
S. L. Rogers Says Washing
ton Figures Should Be
First Completed.
1000 DISTRICTS FINISH
Reports Reach Bureau
Headquarters for l6 Per
Cent Of Population.

Washington will be the first large
city to announce its 1920 population.
according to Samuel L. Rogers, dn &C.
tor of the census. Mr.. Rogers stated
that the figures for the District of
Columbia should be given to the pub
lie not later than February 10. He
hopes they can be made public before
that date.
He also stated that the population
OF all of the large cities of the coun-
try will not be determined before
June l. The figures for the States
will not be announced until aSer that
date.
Four thousand enumerating districts
have completed counting their popula-
tion. according to returns at the Cen
sus Bureau yesterday.
All these are city districts and
amount to about 10 per cent of the
country's city population. No country
districts have reported. This is said
to be due to bad weather and roads.
Enumerators' Pay Small.
The strictly urban character OF the
population in the District is shown
by the fact that only 200 farms are
contained in the District, according
to figures prepared by Supervisor
Robert Z. Mattingly. This list in
cludes a number of very small tracts.
The force OF enumerators and in
spectors in the District continues 70

has now abandoned all hope Of finish
ing his work before the end of the
week. He is confident. however. that
he can submit returns Saturday
night.
Enumerators vino have completed
their work arc now being paid
for their work. Because enumeration
districts were laid of by the map.
which is often deceivins as to popu-
lation, some Of the enumerators have
received very small stipends. Super
visor Mattingly reports that some
enumerators received only s. for their
work. None of the districts netted
enumerators more than $40. and in a
great many instances the return was
less than SIS.
Women Conceal Ages.
Where possible. Mattingly has as
signed the enumerators of the smaller
districts to other districts where
there were vacancies caused by sick
ness.
been many instances Of women at
tempting to deceive the enumerators
in regard to their ages. The most
obvious case OF deception was a
woman with two daughters, aged %
and q. who gave her age as Is and
insisted that it was correct.

The last hope of American distiI-
lers to export their stocks of liquor
for sale in foreign countries was
blasted yesterday, when Solicitor

Owing to dearth Of transporta-

Mondays Opening South st.
Paul, Mimi, Dec. 20, 1920: With
only 1000 cattle and calves on sale,
the market failed to rally, continuing
! extremely dull. Gamer and cutter
grades were practically steady but
anything on the beef order sold on
weak basis. Veal calves were
setady, top $500.
Hogs: S,4OO butcher and mixed
hogs steady, bulk around $3.50. Pigs
underweights unevenly higher at
1915 to 1925. Sheep 1900; weak

AS was expected, Christmas
week started with lighter receipts
Of live stock in all departments OF
the trade both here and and at the
seven principal markets, South st.
Paul receiving today $500 cattle, g.
400 hogs and 1880 sheep and seven
points aggregating 43,400 cattle, ST.
900 hogs and $500 sheep, against
II 900 cattle, 10000 hogs and AS
300 sheep a week ago. The narrow
demand for dressed beef and veal is
strongly emphasized, however, when
the live market fails to rally in the
face of current light receipts. This
is also season of heavy poultry
consumption, a factor that must be
reckoned with at this time. Some
good shortfed cattle are beginning
to come, best selling up around $500
to $3.50, but quality as whole is
showing little betterment, and most
of the stuff is common to medium.
bulk of steer sales ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50, with scattering up
to $500. Most of the butcher cows
and heifers are selling from $500 to-
$3.50, with a fair showing up to
$500. Sales of Gamers and cutters
are ranging mostly from $3.50 to
1915 and bologna bulls from $500
to $500. Best veal calves are go-
ing at $500. Best feeding steers
are selling around $500, with bulk
of stockers and feeders from $3.50
to $500.
The hog market has advanced
somewhat compared with the low
spot of last week, and good butcher
! hogs sold today around $3.50, with
best pigs and underweights in keen
demand at $S.75 to 1925. Best ma
tive lambs sold early at $500, with
