Americans Affected by
New Land Law

Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Mexi-
co, July 2.-About 200 Americans
owning more than 100000 acres of
land will be affected by the new land
law which has been approved by the
state legislature.
Nobody in chihuahua can own more
than 1000 hectares of land, (about
1890 acres) that is entirely under cul-
tivation, the law provides. Nobody
can own more than 1000 hectares of
land that is half irrigated, or more
than 1000 hectares of dry farming
land. However, holders of the fore
going amounts of farm land NAV hold
as much as 10000 hectares of grazing
lands.
Under the law, within the 60 days
from now (about September ~ per-
sons holding more than that permitted
by the law, must make a selection of
what they desire to keep, and the bal
ance must pre- parceled out under gov
ernment supervision and offered for
sale. Contracts of sale must allow
the purchaser 20 years in which to
pay, under partial payment plan. In.
terest must not exceed five per cent.

Both Marine and Foreign
Ministries Favorable to
Ratification.

ROME, Oct. 1S.-The marine and
foreign ministries here today as
sured the correspondent that the
only reason the Washington treaty
on naval limitations has not been
ratified was because of lack of
time.
Sig. Della loretta presented the
treaty for ratification upon Sig.
Schanzer's return from Washing
ton. but owing to the two minis
terial crises and many other ur-
gent matters the treaty never came
up for discussion.
Both the marine and foreign min
istries said the treaty will be taken
up at the first opportunity and
that there is no question that it
will be ratified. The marine min
istry said that Italy has every
interest in ratifying the treaty.
I'VE do not have all the navy
units allowed us by the treaty and
We do not intend to build them"
an official explained. The treaty
will prevent others from getting

Dramatic scenes were enacted as
Prosecutor Wilbur II. Jayne sum-
med up his case against the ac-
cused woman. Jayne ended his
tirade by producing a blood-stained
pillow on which Giberson's head
lay when he was shot. and carried
it across the courtroom to a tabie
between the jury and the defend
ant. Then he produced the reyol-
yer with which the State claimed
the murder was committed and
which it maintained was hidden by
Mrs. Giberson in an clubhouse after
the shooting.
Jayne placed the revolver on the
pillow, SO that its outlines rested
on a clearly visible oil and grease
