The order Of the District Supreme
Court postponing the hearing of mo-
tions for summary judgment in land
lord and tenant cases in which the
Ball rent act is pleaded did not meet
with the approval of several members
of the bar.
Former District Commissioner w.
Gwynn Gardiner today in open court
told Chief Justice Mccoy that he
suspend these hearings until the
United States Supreme Court had de-
cided the question of the constitu-
tionality Of the Ball law.
Chief Justice Responds.
When Chief Justice Mccoy had re-
sponded that the order was signed to-
day only after mature consideration by
the justices and had suggested that the
lawyer might have a remedy by man
damus from the Court of Appeals, Mr..
Gardiner stated that he is seriously con-
sidering an application to the appellate
court for relief.

Existence of Treaty Denied.

The American, British and French
governments have had some corre-
spondence regarding Mexico and the
numerous claims of their citizens re-
sulting from the ten years of revolu-
ton in Mexico, but American State
Department officials deny that any
treaty against Mexico has been ne
gotiated Reports that such a treaty
had been entered into originated in
Berlin, and were attributed to a high
official of the German government.
Great Britain and France are repre-
sented here as closely following the
lead Of the United States with regard
to Mexico, and officials say there is
little likelihood that they will accord
recognition to the new regime in Mex
leo in advance of similar action by
the United States. The matter of
recognition still is being considered
hy the State Department, but an i'm
mediate decision is not regarded as
likely.

Yellow fever is prevalent at all the

Mexico. and to prevent its possible
spread to the United States the public
health service has placed quarantine
restrictions against all travellers from
those ports.
Epidemics of the disease have been
reported from Tuxpam and Vera Cruz

Americans, which would materially
reduce the oil production Of the world S

the Tampico situation have been re-

late September recorded two cases,

svmptoms Health officials here re-
gard it as impossible for only two
cases to exist in Tampico. saying that

also expect an increase in the num-
ber of cases at Tampico.
Many Deaths at Tuxpam.
Many deaths from yellow fever have
occurred in both Tuxpam. another
large oil port, and at Vera Cruz. At
Tuxpam more than two score deaths
have occurred since the middle of
August and at Vera Cruz the dead
