REACH AGREEMENT
FOR SALE OF BIC
TERRAZAS ESTATE
Mexico City Banking House
To Buy 5000, 900 Acre
Tract At Price Of About
$1.25 Per Acre
TRepubIican A. p. leased WIre1

Ell PASO, Texas, June 15.--Einal
adjustment of the situation arising
from President Obregon's decree ex-
propriating the 100000 acre Chihua-
hua estate of General Luis Terrazas
to prevent sale of the property to a
syndicate of Americans, headed by
A. j. McQuatters. mining man, was
announced here tonight by Roberto
v. Pesqueira, who acted as mediator
when left Mexico City an agree
nlent had been reached" Mr.. Pes
quiera said To-day ] received tele
grams telling me that everything had
been satisfactorily settled.
Under the terms of the adjust
ment, General Terrazas will sell to
the Gaia de Prestamos, a Mexico City
banking house which specializes in
farm deals, his entire estate with
the exception of Quinta Carolina, his
country home on the outskirts of
Chihuahua City. The deal includes
about 100000 acres of land at a
price that will be approximately
$1.25 an acre.
THE bank is partially controlled
by the government and the remain
der by private interests.
TN settling the case the govern
ment agreed to pay all expenses in
volved including money spent by Mr..
McQuatters in closing the deal
which was blocked by the president s
appropriation order.
TT has also been agreed that the
bank will rent the estate to Mr.. Nc
Quatters and allow him and his SYM
dicate to re-stock the range and i'm
prove the property with view to
cutting it into parcels to be sold to
Mexican citizens"
1t was to prevent such a large
tract of land falling into the direct
control of foreigners that President
Obregon blocked the original pur-
chase by the American syndicate.
Mr.. McQuatters and his associates,
including Franklin Remington. chair
man of the Foundation company Of
New York, will be allowed to carry
out their original plans for develop
ing the TerraZas estate.
Before the appropriation decree
was issued, Mr.. McQuatters had an
nounced that the syndicate intended
to spend $25,000,000 in the purchase,
improvement and sale of the lands.
At that time he was planning to pri-
vate bank to handle the financial end.
Now the financial business will be
carried on through the Mexico City
banking house.
Alberto Terrazas, representing his
father. General Luis Terrazas, and
Mr.. McQuatters have been in Mexico
City for several weeks. There they
held conferences with government
officials and Mr.. Pesqueira, which
terminated in settlement of the case.
They will return to Ell Paso in a
few days.
When President Obreron started
appropriation proceedings against
the estate, General Terrazas asked
for and was granted writ of anpa-
ro in the Juarez federal court. This
stayed execution of the executive de-
cree until July Is, when a final hear
ing in the case would have been held.
General TerraZas contended that the
decree was illegal. inasmuch as the
president assumed judicial powers
which he did not possess in issuing
the appropriation order. Now that a
settlement has been reached, the case
will be automatically quashed, ac-
cording to attorneys.

Of Nation Are Common
Enemies Says MacNider

CINCINNATI June {6-UnIty in
the principles of both the American
legion and the American Federation
of Labor was proclaimed here today
at the federation's convention by
leaders of both organizations amid
the applause Of the convention dele
gates.
The American Federation of La
Dor and the American legion said
Hanford Macnider, the legion COM
nlander, both have as common enc
mics those who seek to tear down
the lawful integrity of our nation"
Samuel Gonlpers. president of the
federation. added later the reply,
there can be 30 division in the joint
ranks of the two organizations as
long as both continue TO hold the
high ideals of freedom and justice.
In his speech, Mr.. Macnider told
the delegates that the legion knew
mo creed. no sect, no class, no dis
tinction of any kind except between
constructive and destructive forces,
and he added that the ambition was
to keep the legion fair, tolerant,
clean and American"
The mutually of purpose of the
two organizations. as declared by
their spokesman, was the outstand-
ing development of the concession.
While at work, the convention was
informed by E. NJ Jewell. president
of the railway department of the
federation. that the railroad chiefs
contemplating a strike had decided to
ask officers of the striking miners to
a conference TO consider joint action.

the convention was its second blow
at the "one big union idea which
came before the delegates again by
resolution proposing adoption of an
universal label. The proposal was

Hague Conference
Recognizes Power
OF Small Nations

THE HAGUE, June 16.-The pres
sure of the smaller European coun-
tries, especially those adjacent to and
having vital political and commercial
interests in Russia, today forced The
Hague conference to form sub COM
missions of 13 instead of II members
as had been planned by the allied
leaders.
This is interpreted by all the dele
gates as indicating not only deter
mination not to be shut out OF the
important discussions by the great
powers, but as manifesting eagerness
about the future of the disorganized
Russian state. The pressure sur
prised everybody by its force.
Foreign Minister Van karnebeek
of Holland was entrusted by the con-
ference with the task of naming the
members of the sub commissions.
Virtually all the 20 countries now
represented at The Hague have sig
nified their intention to join the main
Russian commission. France has
reserved her decision regarding par
ticipation until after the> meeting in
London between NJ. Poincare. the
French premier, and David Lloyd
