of travel in Europe may precede
the settling-down process in the
National Capital, but in none OF
the details OF his future life does
Presidents Harding contemplate
more than occasional visits to the

The President, however, has not

Quoted, and later where the con-

to part with the house, although
he quickly disposed of his Wash

he came to the United States

the President recently bought a

AGREEMENT ON OIL
HANDED OBREGON
First Half of GentIemen's
Pact Drawn Up by Recog-
milton Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY. June 23.-President
Obregon Is considering the first half
Of a gentlemen's agreement between
Mexico and the United States looking
to the settlement of the sub-soil and
petroleum question. The agreement
has been drawn up by the recognition
conference.
At today's session of the conference
the second half of the agreement,
looking to the settlement Of the agra
rian problem, was discussed, and at
the conclusion Of the deliberations
Charles B. Warren and John Barton
Payne, the American delegates, de-
clared that good progress was made.
Under the agreement, which super
sedes the treaty of commerce and
amity first suggested, Mexico pledges
herself upon her national honor to
carry out the guarantees which the
United States deems necessary before
granting recognition of the Obregon
government.
knowledge that gentlemen's
agreement had been chosen by the
conferees as q means of securing
guarantees for American property
rights in Mexico came as a surprise,
since no hint had been given as to
the method the United States would
consider adequate for the protection
of it's petroleum and agrarian
properties.
1t is announced that until the pc
troleum section of the agreement,
which President Obregon has under
advisement. and the agrarian clauses,
which the conference is framing, are
complete and approved, the details of
the undertaking will not be made
public.

ESTIMATES
EXCEED z MILLION
D -
Commissioners to Ask About
$4,000, 900 for Schools
and Public.

When the tentative estimates of
the District Commissioners for the
fiscal year 1924-1925 go to the bu-
reau of the budget early in August
they will carry more than $4,000, 900
to be spent on the streets of the city.
1t is also reported that the Com
missioners ask for nearly $500,0o0 for
the extension of service sewers under
the assessment system to provide
sanitary facilities for the new houses
in suburban sections.
Although the original estimates of
the board of education have not yet
reached the District building from
Franklin School, indications are they
will aggregate between eight and
nine millions. of which approximately
$2,500.000 probably will be for new
buildings and grounds.
Estimates for Police.
The preliminary expense account of
the police department for the next
District bill also has been completed
and Is said to approximate $4,000, GOO.
It Is understood a request for an in
crease in the number OF privates has
been Incorporated.
Another division that will have to
seek more funds for the fiscal year
1925 than it has for the coming twelve
months is the city refuse division,
charged with the collection of gar
bage, ashes and trash.
For the year beginning July L the
Commissioners have $S60,000 for ref
use disposal But the experience of
the past has shown need for an ap-
preparation of nearly $1,000,o00 for
this work. due to the steady growth
of new suburbs. tt t,a.5
Many branches of the municipal
service havo not yet completed their
preliminary figures. and for that rea-
son It is impossible to predict at this
time what will be the total Of the first
budget the Commissioners lay before
Director of the Budget Lord.
Last summer the local officials
transmitted a tentative budget aggre-
eating ss1.o0o,oo0 in round numbers.
The first figures that go to the Treas
ury this summer from the District
building will not be much under that
amount. ss@

will be In the hands OF the Commits
sioners early in July. and they will
begin Immediately studying them for

Treasury Officials Determin-
ed to Confiscate Liquor on
All Foreign Vessels.

Disclamiing all responsibility for
the delays which complicated seizure
of the Baltic and Berengaria sealed
liquor stores in New York. Treasury
and prohibition officials here sat
tight yesterday in their determination
to confiscate all bar liquor brought
into American waters and reiterated
their previous announcement that it
was up to the officials in New York
harbor to carry this policy promptly
into effect.
The only instructions issued from
Washington. during the day, ii was
asserted. were intended TO tighten
rather than to mitigate the binding
force of the confiscation program.
Assistant Secretary Moss ordered DR..
E. K. Sprague. public health officer
of New York, to revoke a permit the
Treasury heard he had given for the
liner Berengaria to retain all liquor
it carried as for medicinal purposes,
and the action DR.. Sprague was re-
ported to have taken was given off,
cially as the principal reason for a re-
statement of the Treasury's interpre-
tation of the Supreme Court ruling
barring beverage liquor from terri
torial waters of the United States.
The Berengaria' stocks were re-
ported to the Treasury as "out of all
proportion to any possible need" the
ship could have for medicinal liquor.
Mr.. Moss called especial attention in
a telegram to DIR. Sprague. Assistant
Collector Stuart and Palmer Garfield.
prohibition director for New York.
therefore, that in the recent letter
of. f.Secetary Mellon, dealing with me-
dicinal liquor and crew rations, sit
was not intended, and it was ex-
pressly so stated by the Secretary,
to allow any liquors to be brought
into territorial waters of the United
States except such as were intended
for medicinal purposes"
Mr.. Moss called attention to the
exemption granted liquor for crew
rations, but this exemption. consti-
tutes a restriction also in his opinion.
and he informed the federal repre-
sentatives that they were obliged to
relax the regulations no mere for
either medicinal purposes or rations
than was required by the laws of the
flag under which the particular ship
operated. The telegram concluded
with the mandatory paragraph that
the federal agents will Immediately
make seizure" of such liquor stores
as do not fall within the exemptions
authorized by the regulations and
the supplemental letter by Mr..
Mellon.
Discussion here of the protests
filed by the masters of the Baltic
