of Mexico by it's decisions has inter-
preted the constitution so as to strip
the mooted article q of its retro
active implication. When this de.
cision was made, some critics pointed
out that 1t took at least fve decis-
ions along the same line to estapilsn
a precedent similar to the precedents
of American courts. So four more de-
cisions have been Forthcoming. ~Ihe
trouble is that all these decisions are
restricted in scope and DO not clear
up all the points at issue. for ex
ample the court decisions would per-
nit the retroactive feature OF the con-
stitiution to apply to all who may
have bought land prior to 1917. put
who may not have declared publicly
their purpose to develop lts SUD-
soil or who may not nave peen en-
gagged in development prior to tnat
date. The owner VINO poushs ,s.. NE

publicly proclaim his intentfons-and
there was no law compelling him to

side the pale of the Mexican supreme
courts decisions.
United states Wants Treaty.
II is a safe prediction, however.
that even a series of decisions of the
Mexican courts will not suffice. The
I1n,ted States government Is natur-
ally. sratifled to see these interpre-
tations but feels that If the courts
decide the point there ought to be
no objection to saying the same thing
in a treaty between the two coun-
tries.
Mexico has objected through her
AUTOMATIC representatives that the
nresident Of Mexico couldn't interpret
the constitution or perform dsr III aesis,a- Nsxi
can constitution the president has a
ripht to negotiate treaties. and now
that the supreme court mas decided
that the constitution Is not TO pe con-
sidered retroactive there can be no
aa,nd that a treaty would conflict
9th the constitution. More than a
,'aar has gone by and the Mexicans
seUe had an opportunity to pass leg
lei. fion carrying into effect their in
terpretations on the constitution.
American Position justified.
A. for the objection that Mexico
wants to be reorganized first and
then negotiate treaty the precedent
established in 1884 between the
Irnited states and Mexico is justifica-
tion for the American position. The
United states is not asking for any
ching which Mexico hasn't herself

the powers were agreed in principle
that a treaty resuming diplomatic
relations was automatically an act OF
recognition. 49, .,..

the finish of the treason trial of Will

county after its citizens. aided by
state forces and volunteers. had stop
ped several thousand armed miners
and union sympathizers who sought
TO march across 1t last summer. the
end of the first trial was in sight.
The first part of the time was spent
IN legal technicalities in the cases of
l2o men who were granted chang {,
or venue from Logan to jefferson
county, and after Blizzard had been
CHOSEN as the first to be tried on the
charge of treason, more than four
weeks were spent hearing evidence
and arguments

the 1ury's consideration. A. NJ Bel

der the constitutional definition, must
be proved against the defendant by
the two witnesses in order to obtain a
conviction.
The court ruled that Blizzard's 8
presence with the armed forces in
Logan county, where alone the court
IN which he was indicted could have
jurisdiction. constituted the only
overt act on which there was evil
dence. sufficient for presentation to
mitted. however, as bearing on the
question of whether there was a
reasonable conspiracy.
With this as basis teh defense
attended mainly to accounting for
Billiards. whereabouts during the
time between August "a and Septem-
Der 3. covered by the march The
defense conceded that Blizzard was
in the Logan county towns on Sep
tember 2 and 3. but held it was not
for a reasonable purpose. but to
help the federal troops get the armed
men home and restore order. Dur
ing the earlier stages of the march
testimony in his behalf placed him
in Charleston. where the union head
quarters are located, and Saint AL
bans, his home. except for one trip
of inspection with Brig. Gen. Band

They had been confined in cells for
eleven days after their arrest and in
dictment for the murder of Police
Lieut. Terrence Lyons, one of two
policemen shot to death May while
investigating bombings believed TO
have been in protest of the Lands
building trades wage award.
The order was issued by Judge
Harry B. Miller and ended a ten-day
litigation in which the state hereto
fore had been successful in frustrat-
ing the efforts to release the two la
bor leaders.
Fight Two Days for Writ.
The habeas corpus hearing before
Judge Miller lasted two days, the
state refusing to present tho evidence
on which the men were held, saying
that to do SO would weaken their
case at the trial Judge Miller held
that since no evidence against them
was presented he was compelled to
exercise his power to release them on
bail
With bonds fixed at $751; each. il
was necessary under the law to
schedule property worth sl50.000 for
each man. Friends of the two were
in court at the time OF the decision
ready to schedule bonds OF $4,000
each. but the increase in the figure
delayed the actual release OF the men,
Greeted With Cheers.
Murphy, Nader and their frdeoda
were overjoyed when the decision vai
announced and bailiffs had trouble in

they should not be deprived of their

The state, in its announcements
concerning the case, has never main

policemen. 1t holds that they insti-
gated the crimes and thus are as

Fumbles Prove Costly

The University of Delaware foot
ball team, billed about Allentown as
second rate" outfit, and quite harm

town Saturday last and, although
beaten 1910, put up one of the gamest

always had exceptionally strong foot
ball teams, and this year they
trooted out a big powerful squad of
veterans-upon a muddy field-a
combination which is always hard to
beat. The upstate warriors pushed
over a touchdown shortly after the
game commenced, following a steady
drive down the field, Gebhart carried
it over.
From then on the last few minutes
OF the game, Delaware decisively out
played their opponents, and early in
the second half, brilliant series of
