SOON FROM MEXICO
Signing of Report on Joint De-
liberations Held of Little
importance.

Members of the American commits

port of the joint deliberations with
Mexican commissioners, which have
had In view the ultimate recognition
of the Mexican government by the
United States. Advices from the
American commissioners. 1t Is indi-
Gated, have been to the effect that
their task was practically finished
and that they would be able to start
for Washington at very early date.
Little Importance Is attached to the
exact time the commissioners affix
their signatures to the report. which
each commission will present to it's
government for consideration. The
report is nothing more than the
name implies. 1t does not constitute
of itself any agreement nor lay down
a course of action to be followed until
the governments approve 1t and de-
eide what course each shall take to
give effect to the proposals made by
the commissioners.
Presumably arrangements will be
made for simultaneous publication IN

reports of the commissions have been
received and necessary decisions

U. S. MOVES SLOWLY
ON CUBAN RAIL BILL
Action For or Against Measure to
Be Decided on Question of
Benefit to Republic.

Further data as to the effect of the
Cuban railway consolidation bill upon
property. held by American sugar
companies or others in Cuba are ex-
pected by the State Department be-
fore any decision is reached here as
to whether diplomatic means should
be employed to obtain notifications in
the proposed act.
Both those who oppose the consoli-
dation plan and those who favor 1t
have made representations to the de-
partment, the former contendins
that the bill is confScatory either di-
rectly or through the special taxes
it leviessto enforce the movement of
traffic over the consolidated lines.
This belief is challenged. however. by
those interested in the improved posi-
tion the Cuban carriers would be in
under the proposed act.
Action j by the State Department
must be' based on accurate informa-
tion and it was indicated today that
detailed statements had been re-
quested which will be studied before
conclusion is reached.
There is little doubt that the at
titude of the American government
with relation to the bill Will be
founded on a broader basis than on
the question of any adverse erect IT
might have on the interests of any
American: either as an individual or
as a stocliholder. in sugar company
or an existing Cuban railway. OF more
Importance, in the Washington view. is
the question of whether the legislation
proposed is economically sound and
calculated to insure the stability of the
Cuban government. or on the other hand
may be c6nfscatory and otherwise con-
trary to sound public policy.
In all its relationships with the Cuban
government it has been emphasized that
the Washington administration III re-
cent months has been seeking only the
economic good of Cuba and endeavoring
to promote those policies which 1t has
learned from experience to be sound
in dealing with public affairs. If the
railway consolidation bill does not fail
within that classification there is no
question that efforts to prevent its en-
actment will be made.
What might lie beyond rejection by
the Cuban government of the advice
of the Washington government in such
matters would be another question and
one to be settled only when that time
came.

That dignitary not being about. she
approached Preston B. Ray, clerk OF

She was informed by Mr.. Ray that the
nag had been kept at half-staff until
after the funeral Of the late President
Harding, but was unable to say why
1t was not still that way
The little lady was a stranger in
Rockville. and who she was or where
she was from no one learned. She
appeared much perturbed, as she
seemed to think that flags on public
buildings everywhere should not be
allowed to fly from the top of the

ON SHIP SEIZURES
Policy Unchanged as Result
of Decision Setting Aside
Three-MiIe Limit.

The general policy of the govern

outside the three mile limit Will not
be changed as a result of the decision
of Federal Judge WoodrouSh at
Brooklyn yesterday, 1t was indicated
today at the Treasury. Officials saId
their present view was that a de-
cision by the Supreme Court should
be awaited before operations We're
extended beyond territorial waters, as
the question of the authority of gov
crnment to go beyond those waters
was a somewhat delicate international
one.
Judge Woodrough held, in the case
of the British ship Marion MoSher.
that where a foreign craft lowered
near the American shores with the
intention of smuggling intQxicants
into the United States. even though
operating outside the three-mile
limit, her seizure by government
authorities was justified. In the
Mosher case the customs officers act
ed under the old lowering law. the
constitutionality of which remains to
be passed on by the Supreme Court
Government officials here concerned
with the enforcement of both the
prohibition and the customs laws
took it for granted that there would
be an appeal to the Supreme Court
from Judge Woodrough's decision.
