American Consul Walter F.
Boyle Receives Drastic
Wire This Morning in Ca
lexico; All Americans Are
Affected.

American Consul Walter E. Boyle
at MeXicali this morning received a
wire from the state department
stating that hereafter all passports
will cost $40, no matter to whom
issued.
. This will strike q heavy blow ut
CaleXico business men who have been
enjoying business from Mexicans
below the line. Under the new regu-
lations it is not expected that the
poorer classes of Mexicans will pay
the stiff fee and hence they will not
be able to visit Calexico.
The wire states that every six
months when the passport is pre-
sented for new wise an additional $40
must be paid.
The Calexico Chamber of Com
merce has already taken the matter
up with the state department at
Washington, but inasmuch as this was
an act Of congress there is little
chance of securing new regulations.
No mention of one day passports
was made specifically in the telegram
but it was intimated that the price Will
be $40 for a one day passport, the
same as any other. ~ I,
1t is expected that this regulation
will practically put Tia Juana out of
business.
1t was stated at Calexicos this
morning that the new regulation will
have the effect of forcing CaleXicO
merchants to open stores in Mexicali
to take care of the trade unless some
changes or notifications can be Sc
cured.
Hundreds of Ell Centre people who
now have passports will be affected
by the new ruling.

Mr.. Barton turned over the cash. He
then refused to take half, which Mr..

Probably some delegate from New
York state, possibly Norman Mack,
will appear for the, vets. The New
York state convention adopted plank
favoring beer and wine.
A careful canvas of the committee
on resolutions, whose membership is
already practically determined, shows
a dry majority.
VETS AND DRYS MAT
STAGE FIGHT ON FLOOR
This insures a majority report
drawn by VIM. j. Bryan endorsing the
prohibition amendment and declaring
for its strict enforcement. There will
also be a minority report recommend
ing change in the constitution in
favor of excepting beer and wines.
The presentation of these two re-
ports will start a debate on the floor
and end in roll call which will line
up the vets and drys.
No one has been able to predict.
even approximately, what this vote
will be. 1t is believed to be rather
close.
On the outcome of the wet and dry
contest will depend other events. The
vote will show to what extent Bryan
retains control Of the situation. A de-
cisive defeat of the majority, or dry,
report of the platform committee,
would open the way to the nomination
of a wet candidate-perhaps James M.
Cox of Ohio. On the other hand an
overwhelming dry vote in this test
would show Bryan to be in almost COM
plete control with the probability that
no candidate disapproved by him could
be nominated
LITTLE INTEREST IN

This is where the Owen candidacy
would begin to figure.
The wet and dry issue is receiving
more attention than the league of ma

distinct and opposing views on this
subject, the topic is one on which there
is an obvious lack of interest. 1t is
