FREE PORT BILL IN MEXICO IS 
 BEING FOUGHT !
By LOUIS P. KIRBY, International News Service Staff
 CorreSDOndent

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct 1 = One
 of the bills now before the Mexican Congress, intended to encourage for .eign capital to come here, provides for the opening of three free ports.''
 One is to be at the Puerto de Mexico, on the Gulf of Mexico, below Vera Cruz, another at Salina Cruz, on the west coast, and the third at Quay mas in the State of Sonora, this be-
 ing the home town of President de Ia.
 Huerta.
 It is proposed to make these three
 towns industrial and warehouse cen
 ters. Foreign merchants and manu-
 lecturers will be permitted to ship into these districts all sorts of ma
 teria1s duty free. If the raw mater ials are manufactured into merchant able, goods in the free districts the goods <rnay be shipped abroad with out the payment of duty. If shipped into other parts of Mexico, the usual duty is to be paid.
 While those who are supporting the bill believe that it will do much to- ward adding to Mexico's industries, | there is strong opposition to the
 measure.
 Vera Cruz interests are fighting the bill because they see in the proposed free port' at Puerto de Mexico a blow to the prestige and importance of Vera Cruz.
 Other opposers say that whiskey speculators are back of the free port'' idea.
 i At present large quantities of wf1is- | key are stored at points along the border. Owners of this whiskey are permitted to store the liquor on the Mexican side by paying one-half of the usual duty, with the understand l ing that the remainder must be paid after a period of six months, If the l owners are able to smuggle their
 whiskey back into the United States | before the end of six months they | escape the payment of full duty. At the free ports'' owners oi whiskey could keep their liquor ir
 storage for years without the pay ment of a cent It would also be pos sible to build distilleries and operate
 them without any cost above that ot labor and material

UNIQUE RECITAL
 WE'LL ATTENDED

One of the, most unique and thor ough1y pleasing recitals was presented last evening in the high school audf- torium by Miss Marie Tiffany and Chester Gaylord under the auspices of the Alfred Fox Piano Co.
 Both these artists have made rec ords for the Edison Monograph Co.,. and last evening a. demonstration of the record in comparison with the singing voices of the artists was given, proving that the tones emanating from the New Edison were identical with those of the living artists, it be- ing impossible for the audience to de- tect any differe1fce. The instrument produced not only an echo or copy, but the real thing untainted by any mechanical transformation, and un- spoiled by any metallic ring.
 Each number was spontaneously applauded by an enthusiastic audi ence who were convinced of ones in- ability to distinguish between the re- created art and it's original.

smuggling. They say that the free ports'' would offer opportunity to all of the rascals in Mexico and through out the world.
 Guaymas, like Salina Cruz, is on the west coast, but is further north, on the Gulf of California. That it was included among the proposed free ports'' is attributed to the influence of President de la, Huerta, who is be- lieved to be desirous to do something to add to the prosperity of his home town.
 But that there is a deeper policy back of the free port idea is in- dicated by the hint that the Mexican government would like to see the du Fonts build a great powder plant at one of the three ports, where pow der could be manufactured for Mex ico, South America and the Orient.
 Such an industry would provide Mexico with a war plant to be seized and operated by the Government al any time of crisis.
 It is also hinted that in case of another revolution the warehouses of the free ports would offer irresist- ible temptation to looters:
