Foreign Relations Bungled.
Alberto PAM, instigated by Elias
Gales, it is said. made a public state
ment in the Mexican press, that Pres
ident Obregon could not make a
treaty. that such was the function of
congress only. when it is elemental in
international law that the president
is empowered to negotiate treaties and
the senate ratifies or rejects them.
While it is officially stated in Mex
leo that Hughes is no longer insist
ing on the making of treaty and is
waiting for the Mexican congress TO
enact a proper law on the subject or
for the supreme court to hand down
a decision sufficiently strsSg TO war
rant recognition, this has consumed
time, and the matter in Mexico has
been bungled and is now in such a
bad shape, that Oregon is according
TO recent reports very much disSatis-
fled with PAM and Eli-- Gales, for il
Oregon has negotiated the treaty of
amity, recognition would have been
had over year ago.
1t is also reported that Jose Vas
conCelOs, one of the most brilliant
diplomats of Mexico. during his re-
cent trip to South America and Wash
ingtOn as the personal representative
OF the executive. got first hand in
formation and suggestions from the
other Latin-American diplomats on
the subject. all of whom criticized
PAM and Elias Gales. and this first
hand information was directly con-
veyed by Nasconcelos to President OBJ
RECON and eX-President De la Huerta.

relations department. as ObresOn feels
leenly the fact that his term as pres
ideDt may expire without recognition.
Report Commissions Named.
1t is even reported that Obregon
may upon his own suggestion request
that high commissioners be appointed
to discuss pending differences as pro-
yided for by the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo. and this meeting of an in
ternatiOnal commission would mean
recognition.
1t is even reported that the high
commissioners have already been ten
tatively selected by Obregon in the
persons Of AdolfO de Ia Huerta. Jose
NasconceloS and Fernando IgleGias
Calderon, and that these commission
ers will act directly under the orders
Of Obrcgon, in case his proposition
for a joint conference should be ac-
cepted by Washington.

tor from Coahuila, has been attacking
Governor Gonzales and uphOlding the
Labor S'yndicaliSts of COahuila and
the independent legislature in their
fight against Gonzales.
The action of the president is taken
as a stand against the policies of
was done in Nueyo Leon when The
former Carranzista, Jaun l.. Garcia,
was OverthrOwn.
Recently the governor of Guerrero
was slated for removal by the same
Elias Calles-CO-operatista element, so
that the COahuila incident. only ac-
centuates the fact that Oregon is no
longer in the mood of having Elias
Gales appoint governors friendly to
his presidential aspirations.
May Mean Rupture.
The COahuila incident also pOrtrayS
an apparent rupture between the
president and Elias Gales. and may
probably mean the elimination of
Gales and Alberto PAM from the cab
met.
Obregon. it is reported. has become
convinced of the bungling policy Of
his foreign relations department in the
matter of recognition.
From the very first the Oregon
government had the fullest oppor-
tunity to secure recognition on Il
basis most advantageous TO Mexico,
without the great loss of dignity.
Mexico had the opportunity of Sc
curing a revision of the treaty of 1856
signed by Lucas Alaman. under which
the United States still possesses the
right of armed intervention in the
Isthmus of TehuantepeC, as well as
the right to transport troops and
munitions across the ISthmuS. PAM
did not avail himself of the oppor-
tunity of requesting a revision OF all
treaties in the request by Hughes for
an adoption of treaty of amity and
commerce as a basis of recognition.
which would have brought recognition
forthwith. The only provision in
which the United States was interest
ed was that the new treaty should
plainly and equivOcally state that

mOny late today or tomorrow in the

land frauds in Texas was deferred
when juror, William Brammcr. of
BucknCr, Mo-. was reported i'll with
Ia grippe.
Yesterday W. l.. Rockwell of San
Antonio, irrigation engineer. testified
that the Edinburg irrigation system
provided by Stewart to water $1,000
acres, was capable of irrigating only
5000 acres. He also asserted that an
expenditure of Sl.2J0.000 would be
required TO improve the system TO
point where it could efficiently supply
water to the entire tract. The wit
ness declared that he had found canals
of the irrigation system containing
trees. grass and weeds, which. he de-
clared. caused n loss of almost - per
cent of the water intended for irriga-
ton. Pumps designed TO feed the
canals. he asserted, were inadequate.
Other witnesses repeated, in sub
stance. testimony formerly adduced TO
the effect that prospective purchasers
of land in Stewards EdinburG tract
were not shown the Edinburg irriga-
ton system. but were led 10 believe
that the Mercedes system would sup
