NO AGREEMENT WITH
 MEXICO YET REACHED
Concrete Proposition Lacking From
 Mexican Delegates

MEXICO CITY, June 16.-(By As- sociated Press.)-The Mexican dele gates were still unprepared to pre- sent their governments proposals for a solution of the difficulties which prevent recognition by the Unrted States, and, after a brief session tins morning, the mixed conference ad- journed until Monday.
 John Barton Payne and Charles B. Warren, the American delegates, dis claim any intention to hurry the pre- sentation of the Mexican formula for making recognition possible, but make plain they consider sufficient time has been consumed in discuss for the presentation of definite pro- posals. They assume that both the Mexican people and the government desire recognition by the United States and it Is up to the govern ncnt to advance concrete proposals which will make this possible. Fail ure of thee onference, 1t Is intimated, would mean new political and finan- cial difficulties for Mexico.
 The prolonged discussion of the Mexican delegates with President Obregon relative to the concrete pro- awaiting is due, 1t Is authoritatively stated. to the difficulty of evolving a method for granting the guarantees expected by the United States with out discriminating against the rights of Mexican citizens and provoking domestic opposition.
 The points at issue have been nar- rowed down to the question of guar antees for American owned petroleum lands acquired under the constitution of 1857, the alleged retroactive inter- pretation of the constitution of 1917. and just compensation for American owned lands appropriated under the existing agrarian law.

LURKS LIKE SHADOW
 OVERHOSP|TAL
Leading Citizens Hopeful No Negro Physicians Will Be Named By Harding In Place Of White Officials There
SENATOR POWELL SAYS GOVERN MENT IS PLEDGED
Declares Contemplated Ac- ton Will Prove Disastrous And Cause Failure Of Hos- pitaI To Serve Its Purpose

TUSKEGEE, Ala, June 16.--(By Associated Press Harmony among the white and negro races is being threatened here hourly with re- port current that President Harding Is preparing to install negro officials al the government hospital for dis abled negro war veterans at Tuske- gee. Citizens of Tuskegee declared tonight that such action will causa serious results.
 Although no official announces ment from Washington has been given out here relative to negro of ficials, it is said through reliable sources that officers at the hospital have received notice that every white employe except physicians will be req placed by a negro force and that negro physicians would be placed in charge as fast as they could be se- cured.
 Sees Breaking of Faith.
 Senator R. H. Powell, member of the state legislature and a member of the committee that went to Wash- ington to protest such action to President Harding. declared tonight "the government will be breaking faith with the people of Tuskegee if negro physicians are sent here for the treasury department promised the people here before the hospital was erected that while officials and physicians would be in charge be- fore consent of the people was ob- tained, land donated by them. and the hospital was constructed upon such guarantee from the Govarn- ment."

 Institute Opposes It.
 Other members of the committees that appeared in Washington de- clared the negroes of Tuskegee in- stiute are opposed to negro officials at the hospitals believing 1t will harm their institution and provo detrimental to the cooperative spirit of the races here.
 The result of such action by the government will prove serious, even disastrous. I fear it will mean fail- ure of the hospital to serve it's purs pose" Senator Powell said

STUDENT FROM CHINA WINS NURSES HEART BUT GETS EXPELLED
Investigation Reveals He Has Wife And Child
 Already

NASHVILLE. Tenn, June 16.- Thomas Y. Ho, handsome Chinese in- terne at the City hospital here, where he was furloughed from Northwest back to China, leaving only the broken blossoms of an international romance.
 A hard hearted board of hospital directors today dismissed the young Oriental interne and refused to sign his diploma. after disclosure that he had wooed and actually won a City hospital nurse, while at the same time he had in far-off China a wife and child.
 Official notice of the contemplat ted marriage, set for June 23, was first brought to the attention of the board by volumnous correspondence re- ceived by Secretary of State Hughes at Washington. through diplomatic channels. Ho had written his father, an aged Chinese tea and rice mer- chant of Australia that he wished to marry the girl. A vigorous protest against the ancestor sacrlege fol- lowed in message to the state de- partment. Followed then the corrc- spondence to Governor Peay of Ten nesSee.
 Confronted with the communication stating that Ho was already mar rled. the young interne protested his love for the Nashville nurse, whose name was withheld, and declared that he was married only according to Chinese custom. He begged the right to consummate the wedding plans. Upon final refusal, he left for Chi cago, from where he will return to the Orient.
 As result of the exposed romance, a ruling has been made here per manently barring all Orientals from interne service at the city hospital

 Crash Of Knauth, Nachod And Kuhne For S12,00O,- GOO Is Characterized As Another Letting Of Blood
 THOUSANDS OF PATRONS ARE HEAVY SUFFERERS Study Of Market For Week Reveals Considerable Con- struction Work And Inside Interests Halt Price Break
By WILL JOHNSON

NEW YORK. June l6.-WaIl Streets latest smash on the nose, the failure of the venerable Knauth, Nachod x kuhne brokerage firm for Si2;ooo.ooo. was greeted Saturday night by the financial districts most far-reaching voices as "healthful letting of blood"
 Yes, smash on the nose hurts, but nosebleed Is good for the sys- tenn" was the tone adopted by au- tEorftative organs in the Street.
 Thus the collapse of the New York Stock Exchange firm after 70 years In business, which caught thousands of customers with heavy losses and left globe-trotters with the compa- ny's travellers checks stranded pen niless. appealed to astute money merchants as corrective for the technical situation
 Nevertheless, regarded practically. the financial district is suffering g sadly from lack of public partici : patton in it's activities. and operators admitted that a situation may be technically correct but actually the reverse of profitable, as the public walks in wide circles around the bourse.
 Public Getting Cautious.
 From the cherished Wall Street technical viewpoint, the market of the idpSlnS week mas been one In which considerable construction was in order. There was the very sue cessful flotation of the Austrian loan, the bonds soaring considerably above their opening price in the market. Wall Street has to thank the underwriting syndicate for that the bonds were made pretty safe. Simultaneously came the increase in the New York Central railroad divi- dend rate from S5 to S7 annually The latter by all standards was con structive action. It showed that the carriers were again in rather good condition ai,d that they were less fearful of radical Legislation by tha new Congress.
 Still. the market Jagged and the professional element was chipping off profits in various directions. h. side interests did their utmost to prevent a general downward trend and were successful. Still the public r.malned-the impact of a series of failures had not been lost-and the oils were being pounded.
 In the ackground were the reve- lations being unfolded in a series of legal investigations into defunct firms. The president of the Consoli-

 Newman Makes Statement.
 Porter N. Newman made the fol- lowing statement to newspaper men following his acquittal: "Notwith standing all the publicity and mo- toriety I have had in this case. 1t was absolutely without foundation and was untrue from it's beginning to end.
