US. DEMANDSARE
IMPOSSIBLE, SAY
MEXICO OFFICIALS
Political Conditions Attached to
Recognition Can't Be Met,
Is Verdict on Note.

MEXICO CITY. June 9.--The latest
note from Washington regarding
relations and the
conditions for recognition of the
Mexican Government contains COM
mercial requirements which would be
accepted In modified form, but the
political pledges could not be met In
full under the present Mexican consti-
tuition. II was declared at the foreign
office today.
According to the foreign ofhce. the
American note has two distinct
aspects-one commercial. the other
political. The commercial conditions.
IL was said, "could be accepted with
moderations IL reciprocal guarantees
were given for Mexican workers In
the United States similar to those
American workers would enjoy In
Mexico"
CONTRARY TO CONSTITUTION.
The political requirements. II was
declared. were unacceptable because
they are contrary to the Constitution.
Article fifteen OF the Constitution pro-
hibits treaties which would change
the guarantees and rights OF citizens
Foreign office officials said they
believed that the mutual Dement'S
from a treaty OF amity and com
merce between the United States
and Mexico would be extensive.
Before the American State De-
partment sent the note, a memo
randum was sent through a per-
sonal friend of President Harding.
suggesting conference between
Mexican and American ENJOYS, IL
was stated.
Mexico, however, replied that she
could not accept the proposal be
fore the Mexican government was
recognized, as Mexico Is not new
country, but has been recognized as
a world power for 100 years"
Later note was received by
George T. Summerlin, the American
charge d'afaires. upon the subject.
EXCHANGE TO CONTINUE.
The United States proposed that IL
a conference of Mexican and United
States ENJOYS be held. commercial
rights and political matters, includ-
ing recognition OF Mexico by Wash
ington. be treated simultaneously.
Mexico objected. wishing recognition
treated as separate and distinct from
the other issues involved.
The foreign office believes that the
friendly interchange of communica-
tions will continue, and that no
serious obstacle will arise, despite the
refusal of Mexico to modify article
81 of the constitution, to which OBJ
lection has been made.
President Obregon, who Is giving
his personal attention to the inter
change of notes with Warrington
declared that ~the international
policy of Mexico has bee clearly de-
hned," and that his own views are
too well known to require further
explanation.

alien property custodian, 1t is charK-

property before the countess was paid

This all happened while the
countess co-pIsintiff. George p. de G..

The seizure Is said to have been
made on the ground that the French

Hitch" Develops In
U. S.-Mexico Parleys;
Obregon Keeps Silence

A distinct "hitch" has developed In
the negotiations now in progress be-
tween President Oregon and George
T. Summerlin, American charge DAFT
fairies in Mexico City, over the treaty
of amity and commerce which has
been proposed by the United States as
basis for readjusting relations be-
tween the two countries, IL was indi-
Gated here today.
How serious this hitch may be
was not learned, but it was apparent
that the negotiations are not proceed
ing as speedily and satisfactorily as
officials would like.
No formal reply has yet been made
to the note received from President
Obregon a few days ago, IL was said
at the state Department. 1t is under
stood, however, that Summerlin is
making the position of the United
States clear to the Mexican President
in what are described as "informal
conversations"
Summerlin notified the department
that the text of Secretary of State
Hughes statement had been made
public in Mexico City only in an in
complete and garbled form. The de-
partment Immediately notified the
American charge to make public in
the capital the full and complete text
OF the Hughes statement, so that the
Mexican people might fully under
stand the American Governments
position.

tending that the British have no right

DISPUTE BLOCKS ALLIANCE.
Coming on top of suggestions of a
Franco British alliance, the new de-
velopmept has caused much press
comment.
This is a strange time to talk OF
an alliance said the Matin. AN
other disagreement appears on top OF
the disagreements that already exist
ed over reparations, Silesia, Turkish
policy. and Europe's attitude toward
the eoviet This latest development
comes at a time when France is try
ing to block enterprises of British
militarists, diplomats and commercial
agents who are directly opposing
frances vital interests"
Ganlis. in commenting upon the pro
posed Anglo-French alliance, says II
is hrst necessary to state explicitly
the conditions under which the coun-
tries would be called upon to CO.
operate. The newspaper adds:
"It is very plain that in case OF war
between England and America, France
would only intervene as mediator. The
friendship OF the United States is just
as precious to France as Is that OF
England"

Judge SABBATH was expected to give
his ruling as to whether Peggy her
self would be compelled TO come here
at this time to submit TO questioning
by Joyce's attorneys.
The original plans had been to
have Peggy absent herself until the
hearing on the divorce bill comes up,
which probably will not be before
fall. The present court proceedings
involve Joyce's resistance to Peggy's
demands for temporary alimony OF
$4,000 a month and 100000 for So
licitors' fees.
WANT HIS BANK BOOKS
The occasion for Joyce's summons
to court was found In his answer TO
Peggys petition, in which he declared
that instead of being worth 100000
600, as she alleges, his personal for
tune is a matter of less than $1,000
900, and that his income will not per-
nit him to pay the huge sums she
has demanded.
Joyce claims he has already given
Peggy sl,39s.ooO in cash and prom
erty, and asserted that she has at
least $4,000 in the bank. Peggy de-
clares she has only s24,s1s on de-
posit In a Paris bank.
Counsel for Peggy Insist that Joyce
bring with him to the courtroom All
of his bank books and accounts They
plan to question him regarding his
financial standing in the hope of
maintaining their claim that he Is
worth $4,000, 900.

NUbOF ARGUMENT
AT NEWBERRy QUIZ
Difference in Amount Contrib
uted for Senator'S Campaign,
Starts Discussion.

A difference OF 5000 in the amount

publisher and a brother-insiaw of
Senator Truman II. Newbcrry of
Michigan, was credited with contrib
uting to the Newberry primary cam
paign fund and the sum which Barnes

ton contest investigation was re-
sumed.

Ford's counsel, testified that he con-
tributed $4,000 to the Newberry
campaign fund in August. 1918.

he said had been issued by Frank w.
Blair. treasurer OF the Newberry cleo
ton committee, to show that Barnes

to the campaign fund. Barnes said
that he had no knowledge of the diff
ference in these amounts.

ry.. denied that the report referred
TO by Lucking was Issued by Blair.
The hearing was interrupted fire.

tested to Senator Spencer. Republican

gan, explained the $4,000 difference
in the Barnes contribution as ''cler-
zeal error"

changing OF accounts?" Senator

Yes" Alfred Lucking, of Fords
counsel, replied. Its all fraud, and
we are going to prove it."

Blair told the committee that Mrs.
Newberry, wife OF the Senator, had
offered to contribute $4,000 to the
campaign fund. but that he had not
permitted IL, because the Relation
ship was too close for Appearances"
Lucking called to Blair's attention
