MEX RECOGN|T
STATUS UNCHANGED

WASHINGTON, Nov. lin
formal negotiations between the
United States and Mexico regard
ing recognition of the Obregon gov
eminent has reached a deadlock, &C.
cording to information here today.
Obregon flatly refuses to sign the
agreement pledging protection to
American lives and property which
Secretary Hughes insists upon and
the state department shows no in
tention Of abandoning this demand
as a condition of recognition, it is
said.
This is the situation as outlined to-
day by Elmer Dover, Tacoma. Wash,

dent Harding, who has just return
ed from one Of three trips to Next
co City taken since March 4 in an
effort to bring about a restoration

two countries.
the United States, but cannot af-
ford to sign the proposed agreement,
! according to Dover, who said the
present Mexican government would
be overthrown in 48 hours if it
should assent to the proposal.
AS an alternative, Obregon is said
to have brought about the recent
decision of the. Mexican supreme
court, holding confiscatory provisions
of the Mexican constitution non
retroactive. Obregon is said to have
sent an emissary to Mr.. Hughes sew
eral weeks ago with the message that
he could not agree to the treaty, he
could have the supreme court hand
down decree favorable to American
rights. It is reported that Mr..
Hughes said this would be a hope
full sign, but that he could not COM
NIT this government to recognition
in advance.
Dover, who has been freely advis-
inf Obregon in dealing with the rec
ognition problem, spent an hour with
President Harding, after he return
ed to Washington this week.
Another effort to sound out the
state department further was made
by Premier Gales, of Mexico, who
passed through Washington incog-
nito last Saturday. en- route home
from an operation at Rochester,
MINI. He was in touch with Dover
here and an effort was made to Sc
cure an appointment at the state
department, it is said, but this was
not successful.

Rescue Too Late
Little Lillian was dying and it
was a hundred and ten miles to a
doctor. They gave us water and
Lillian said: mama when is papa
coming?" And I couldn't tell her,
for I knew he never would come.
And after we all had a little water
and a bit to eat, we felt better. All
except Lillian, and she was dying.
Then the people took us to the
ranch we had been looking for. But
there was no word about papa.
My little Lillian died. We stayed
at the ranch till Tuesday, and that
day we heard about papa. Some
Mexicans had found him-dead-
and within a mile of the ranch
house-and water-only just a lit
tie off the road. And he still had
some lemons and oranges in his
pocket. And then they told me we
had passed water while we were
driving around. But we never saw
it, for it was little bit.
Deserts Victim
They wouldn't let me see him. I
never have seen him since he left,
and though he's buried here with
my little Lillian, I can't believe
they're dead. I knew he'd never
come back. But I'll see him again,
for I brought him to the Lord be-
fore he died. And the Lord saw fit
to let me keep Ruthie and Elmer.
