Adolfo de la Huerta. Minister of FL
nance in the Obregon Cabinet
Gen. de la Huerta, who arrived here

partment. The visit to the White House
was purely one of courtesy. 1t having

mally."

points of difference between the two
Governments to commission to be
composed of an equal number of repre-

with Secretary Hughes, which lasted an
hour and half. Gen. de la Huerta said
that while the diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries were not under
discussion other matters Of great interest
were discussed.
Among these, he said, were the recent
financial agreement reached between him
self and the international bankers in New
York for the funding of the Mexican
foreign debt. agreements and UNDER
standings with the oil men and petro-
loum questions in general, and also the
Mexican Supreme Court decision of May
~, on which the Mexican Government
has laid SO much stress as eliminating
the obstacles to recognition.
When asked whether during his stay

to him any proposition looking toward
the formation of a combination Of Ameri-
can oil interests for the development OF
Mexico's oil resorces and for the pay
ment by the combination of all Mexican
external debts Gen. de la Huerta said
there was no foundation for TIN rumor.
In the interview with Secretary
Hughes Gen. de la Huerta said that
they had discussed affairs in an entirely
informal manner. much as two friends
who have found a topic of mutual in
terest." No formal proposition was
made by him on behalf Of President
Obregon or received from Secretary
Hughes. he said. 1t Is understood that
financial matters took up the greater
portion OF the time.
De la Huerta returned to- New York

Obregon on the agreement with the
bankers and with the oil interests as

FLAMES RACED FOR DAYS

which arrived yesterday at Hoboken,
was removed from her on a stretcher.
suffering, It was said, from the effects
of strenuous battle with fire in the
ships oil fuel supply that lasted several
days.
The blaze did not affect the speed Of
the liner which got in a day ahead OF
schedule from London, Cherbourg and
Queenstown. J. r. Truesdale. lawyer,
with offices in the Singer Building. who
had been engaged on the trip by the
skipper to give his version of some
trouble on the liners last run to Lon
don. said Capt. Miles's illness was due
solely to being "gassed" while directing
the fire fighting.
The last eastward trip of the Presi-
dent Van Bufen, 1t was said. was en-
livened by trouble between officers and
some of the crew. She sailed hence on
June 81 and when about in mi6ocean a
pantryman named Baxter. according to
reports the liner brought in yesterday.
ran amuck," spreading panic about
part OF the ship. He was said to be a
drug fiend, and it was alleged that he
threatened the lives of officers with a
razor.
Baxter was overpowered and put In
the brig. In irons according to some Of
ibis shipmates. Whatever treatment he
may have received, he died and was
buried at sea on June 26.
When the President Van Buren
reached London a number of the crew
went to tho office of American Consul
General Skinner and demanded an in
vestigation of the death of Baxter. Mr..
Truesdale said yesterday that he pos
sibly would represent Capt. Miles at a
hearing before a United States Com
missioner on charges that might devel-
op from the accusations presented to
Consul-General Skinner.
Mr.. Truesdale said he had taken af-
fidavits of the ships surgeon, DR.. G. W..
Farquahar, and the trained nurse. one
of whom is on every United States Lines
ship and that they had declared that
Baxter's body was free of abrasions and
bruises. Mr.. Truesdale added: From
the evidence have taken believe the
case will not go beyond the office of the
United States Commissioner"
Capt Miles was removed to st. Mary's
Hospital in Hoboken in charge of his
personal physician, DR.. II. Tyndall Of
Weehawken. DR.. Sischel OF st. Mary's
said the skipper was suffering from
poison from fuel oil that had over
come him and permeated his system"

In the market and their stocks are
email. hut replenishment is being made
In a small way. The policy or most
retailers this year apparently is to carry
small reserves and to place substantial
orders only after the consumer demand
for the season has actually started
Despite the small orders placed with
their statesmen and the little business
that Is being done at the showrooms,
wholesalers are not at all discouraged.
Few expect any great volume OF busi-
ness during this month and August.
They believe that the greatest bulk OF
fall business will come in September
and October. There Is a small but steady
demand for domestic novelties or the
new fashions which have been intro
duced.

Recovery in Burfap Prices.

The local burlap market showed re-
newed strength yesterday. but prices ad-
vanced only slightly. There was lack
Of demand for standard burlap construc-
tions either for spot or future delivery
Bag manufacturers appear to be follow
ing the course of the market rather
closely. but evince little desire to place
orders. Activity from the speculative
element also has subsided. The spurt
of firmness in the local market was d.
rectly attributable to reports that the
Calcutta market had taken on a new
lease OF life and that quotations were
rising. Sellers abroad were demanding
go cents for lightweight and s.lo cents
for heavies, while in the local market
asking prices on lightweights were 6.2O
cents and on heayies 9.35 cents. The
upturn of prices has given rise to the
belief In the trade that burlap prices
will continue to stiffen.
