Was Vice Consul

r. G.. DomingueZ, who on Feb. |
took charge of the Mexican consulate
in Brownsville in the absence of Con
sui Jose Y. Cara, on indefinite leave,
Saturday received his appointment as
consul for the Mexican government,
the appointment coming from Hilario
Medina, secretary Of state, at Mexico
City.
Mr.. Dominguez came to the Browns
vile post from Los Angeles, Cal,
where he had been in the consular
service as a chancellor. On his ar
rival here he was appointed a vice
consul, later taking charge Of the con-
sulate as vice consul in charge.
He served in the Carranza revolu-
ton, mainly in the state. of Sonora, 4,
under General Alvaro Obregon, IL r.
ing which service he attained to the
rank of colonel of the staff. Soon

ment advised Mr.. Dominguez that one
vice consul and three chancellors soon
will be sent to the Brownsville office.
1t is expected that the vice consul
will come from Laredo.
One Of the first Of Mr.. Dominguez' s
efforts, he said today, will be to assist
in bringing about closer cooperation
between the commercial organizations
of Brownsville and Matamoros, the
interests of which he believes to be
very closely related.
''At present have no office force
and am compelled to attend very
closely to the office routine" Mr.
Dominguez said. when my assist
ants arrive | am going 10 make an
effort to convince the business inter
ests of the two cities that their indus
trial interests are identical and that
when one town is benefited the other
is benefited. This, | think, can best be
achieved through closer cooperation
between the commercial organiza-
tions."

APPEARANCEOF
RIFT in PLANS
TOCOMPROMISE
Move to Bring Wilson Active
ly Into Treaty Compromise
Setback at White House
MAY END TALK MONDAY
lrreconcilables Repronounce
Treaty as Being Dead


WASHINGTON, ID. c.. March g.
The move to bring President Wilson
actively into the peace treaty compro-
mise negotiations got such setback
at the White House today that the
irreconcilable senate opponents of
ratification again repronounced the
treaty dead and gave notice that they
would move Monday to bring the de
bate speedily 10 an end.
Officials close to the president de-
clared that democratic senators al
ready were fully advised of the atti-
tude of the executive and that COM
promise proposals should be addressed
not to Mr.. Wilson but to Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the repub-
lican leader in the senate. Ii was not
revealed whether the president would
grant the requested conference with
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
representing the senate democrats, in
final effort to compromise, but the
White House officials intimated that
they thought further efforts to re-
quire the presidents views would be
superfluous.
The development caused uncon-
cealed disapproval among the repub-
lican and democratic senators work
ing for an eleventh-hour compromise,
but 1t did not put stop to their nego-
tiations.
Some on both sides openly declared
the only course left was TO make the
effort at agreement and then, if a
ratification were accomplished. let
the president decide whether he would
accept it or reject it, Among the
irroeoacilabies, however. Il was con
fidently asserted that no agreement
ever could be reached on such an un-
certain basis and that if the declara-
tion of the White House officials re-
Elected the views of the President fur
ther delay of the ratification vote
was only so much time wasted.
Will Force Final Action.
The notice of their intentions to
force final action was given the SEN
ate by Senator Borah (republican) !.
Idaho, who said he would move Mon
day to take up at once the knotty
problem of article 10, which had been
put over in the hope that a compro-
mise on it might be assured while the
senate worked its way through the
long list of collateral reservations.
Senator Boroah's proposal was en-
