ATTORNEYS IN
FAVOR OF new
u. S. DISTRICT
Recommend Rock Island as Seat
for Court Under Charges
Proposed.

The Rock Island County Bar as
sociation favors the creation OF a
new federal judicial district that
will designate Rock Island as
branch court center.
At a meeting of the association
this morning in the circuit court
room, resolutions endorsing the ac-
ton of the Illinois Bar association
in approving legislation pending in
both branches of the state legisla-
ture providing for such a division
were adopted.
Illinois is divided into three fed
eral judicial districts, northern and
southern and eastern. Rock Island
is in the northern division of the
southern district, but litigants from
this section are obliged to go to Peo-
ria when cases are called.
: The Mccormick bill, in the SEN
ate, and the Denison bill, in the
house, seek the creation of fourth
district to take in the western por-
ton of the state. In supporting
those measures, the Rock Island
county bar recommends that judge
/ be assigned to sit here in June and
| December, and that a permanent
office be maintained for a clerk.
Work OF Court Grows.
Since prohibition went into effect
the work of the federal courts has
practically tripled and under pres
ent arrangements conditions are SO
crowded that cases are drawn out
over a long period. Aside from this,
litigants from this section are at
great expense in going to Peoria,
! W hen, it is cOntended, the amount
of business warrants sitting judge
for Rock Island. Further, there are
numerous minor matters that
should receive attention of a feder-
al judge but which cannot now
gain the benefit of the law because
/ the amount involved is less than
! the cost of prosecution.

u. S. CAN DECIDE
MEXICO FUTURE
David Thompson, Heading Export
FfrIE, Says Oil Interests
Misrepresent-

Mexico is no longer in the
throes of revolution" says David
E. Thompson. brother of Justice
Floyd E. Thompson, who is spend
ing the day here enroute for visit
with his parents in Roodhouse. Mr..
Thompson is general manager of
the Mercury Exporting company of
Hollywood, Cal, interested in
trade development in Mexico and
South American countries. The
firm is especially active in the Mex
lean field and Mr.. Thompson says
that as soon as the United States
recognizes the Obregon government
the country will make rapid adj
vance in Industrial and commercial
development.
"All these stories about the I'M
settled conditions in the govern
ment and other conditions that tend
10 discourage American interest in
Mexico are bunk. Oil companies.
disgruntled because they cannot OBJ
tain governmental privileges they
desire, put out this propaganda"
Mr.. Thompson said.
AS a matter of fact Mexico to-
day is in the hands OF a group of
energetic young Mexicans. They
are the new group, ambitious, anx-
ious to establish their nation among
the nations of the world, keenlv
alive TO world events and distinctly
friendly in their attitude toward
America and Americans. They
want the United States to extend
them the courtesy extended every
other republic. Once the United
States recognizes Mexico as a ma
ton the world will take the same
attitude and one OF the richest
countries on the continent will be
opened
Gold is only medium of exchange
in Mexico and through the capital
city or in governmental centers it is
not unusual to see two-wMeled
carts loaded with sacks of gold
jogging down the street in charge
of an aged peon, unarmed. Despite
this there are not robberies al
though official Mexico has not vet
curbed direct grating.
