With the announcement by District
Judge Mark l.. Bozarth that an early
trial viii be accorded the defendants,
interest here tonight centers in the
probable court action on charges di-
rected against Governor j. b. A.
Robertson, Fred G.. Dennis. former
state banking commissioner. and sew
eral financially prominent local men
in indictments returned by the dis
trict court grand jury after an in
vestigation into bank failures IN Ok

Judge Bozarth said he would call
criminal term Of district court
probably within three or four weeks,
and would at that time set the cases
on his docket. He pointed out that
the defendants must be arraigned to
enter pleas several days in advance
of the trial, but that it was not COM
pulsory that the defendants appear in
person.
The penalty prescribed by statute
for accepting bribe, with which the
governor and Dennis are charged in
a Joint indictment is a penitentiary
offense not exceeding ten years or
$4,000 fine or both.
1t also provides that the officer

RECOGNITION Of
MEXICO DELAYED
BY PROCEEDINGS

NEW YORK, March 23-The only
hitch in restoring friendly relations
between the United States and Mexico
is one of proceedings. declares Presi-
dent Harding in a letter to John Bar
rett, former director general of the
Pan American union, made public to-
night by Mr.. Barrett. The presidents
letter dated March n, was in reply
to one addressed him by Mr., Barrett
in which the latter laid before Mr..
Harding a summary of answers re-
ceiyed from 141 representative Laun-
Americans in 20 republics TO the
question asked of 200 as to what they
believed the United States might DO
on it's own initiative to promote Pan
American friendship. Mr.. Barrett adj
yised the president that. among other
things. the following recommenda-
ton. stated in composite Summarized
term. had been made by the Latin
Americans:
"Early recognition of Mexico by the
United States on a basis consisttnt
with the natural and unexaggerated
dignity, sovereignty and rights of poth
nations. with concessions, II neces-
sary, on the part Of both, inspired py
that same spirit and Cancellation and
cooperation which characterized the
United States and other governments
at the recent arms conference.
In his reply Mr.. Harding SAID:
"Mr. Christian has handed to me
Your letter of March 20. and / am
frank to say that have read II Win

is really no difference OF opinion as to
what is necessary to restore former
friendly relations between our own

we cannot arrive at a program which

LEGISLATURE
BLOW Up IS
THREAT OVER
F|NANCECODE.
Coalition Formed To In
clude Three Appropria-
tions Was the Cause-3
Bills Passed In Senate
And Three In The House

It seemed at noon yesterday that
the legislature might blow up at any
moment as a result of developments
in the progress of the financial code
since the evening before. The sup
porters of the code had succeeded in
striking out all appropriations for the
various state agencies, though ref
erence to the appropriations for them
in the general appropriation bill were
retained
Several attempts had been made in
vain to restore the appropriations for
the highway department and the pub
lie schools, but the majority held
firm. 1t was composed mostly of
Democrats. though four Republicans
were counted. one Democrat, how
ever, voted with the minority.
A coalition composed OF represen-
tatiyes of the public schools and the
state highway department had been
active for some days in attacking
that feature of the code consigning
all appropriations to the general ap-
preparation bill. Three appropria-
tions We're thus aimed at, that for the
public schools, the state per capita
tax: the appropriation for the state
road fund, and the Slz mill levy Tor
the university.
On Wednesday afternoon the sup
porters of the code in its amended
form claimed that they had been in
formed by the governor that his
hands would be off of the struggle.
A conference OF the supporters of the
code with Miss Toles, superintendent
OF public instruction, and other rep
resentatives Of the schools, is said to
have resulted in an understanding by
which the code would go through.
Change in the Air
But there was an atmosphere
change in the morning. 1t was an
nounced that the governor had inter-
vened in favor of the coalition and
that he had conferred with Repub-
lican senators who had opposed any
further change in the code which was
expected to come up at the morning
session of the senate. But no men,
ton was made OF it except in the
corridors and committee rooms, and
when it was reported that the Re-
publican senators had yielded and
would vote to include the three ap-

basis and one that will prove profit
able under economical methods OF

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2S.-Issuance
Of preliminary permits and final IL
censes for the construction of hydro

after the Colorado river commission

Application is pending before the
commission by James Grand, former

license for construction OF a power
plant at Diamond Creek, above the
Boulder Canyon, but action upon tke
application, it was said, would be

rights given Mr.. Grand can not in
terfere with irrigation rights or any
other development of the Colorado

ect. 1t would be made clear to him,
it was said, that he would not fave
any complaint if water was drawn
off for irrigation purposes above him,
nor would be be permitted to store
up water that would deprive those
below hom of obtaining water for ir-
rigation purposes and he would be
compelled to let it out for this pur-
pose on demand.
