during the conference with the
American delegates, which will begin
May II. on questions at issue between
the two countries. were given them
recently at meetings the commits
sioners Ramon Ross and Fernando
Gonzalez Roa, had with President
Cbregon and Alberto PAM, minister
or foreign relations. Under the in
structions the. Mexican commission
ers must:
First7-Insist on absolute respect for
Mexican sovereignty.
Sec0nd-Agree to non -retroactiyity.
insofar as 1T affects eptroleum rights
acquired prior to May /, 1917, or OF

granting of recognition to Mexico by
the United States. 1t was empha-
sized today that the delegates have
not the slightest authority the Mex

While an official statement is lack
ing, the general impression prevails
in high government circles that the

upen the settlement Of guarantees

which the United States delegates
are expected to demand.
Neither the visiting delegates nor
the Mexican delegation are to make

Doubt Wardens
Drowned; New
Theories Advanced

: lockwood, May 8-No one who
understands conditions in the PEN
obscot North Branch where War
dens David E. Brown and Mertley
johnson lost their lives last fall take
any stock in the theory that one of
the men fell out of their skin. and
that the other gave his live. in a vain
effort to save his companion.
Who started this story Is not
known, but he could not have been
acquainted with the situation or the
methods of the wardens.
First the Wardens were travelling
on foot across country. Wardens on
trips such as these men were maxi
ing do not pack a canoe" on their
backs for miles through the woods
for use In crossing streams. They
ford the streams when they come to
them. Next there was no skiff or
canoe, so far as can be learned,
where Wardens Brown and johnson
must have reached the North
Branch at the point which. they
could have used in crossing the
stream. 1T Is only in story books
that men find canoes or baots hidden
in the bushes along the banks of
brooks and rivers in emergencies"
says one veteran of the north woods.
Had they used q skiff or canoe.
some trace of it must have been
found by this time. in the opinion of
all woodsmen who have discussed
the mystery.
Immediately the fact that the two
Wardens were missing became known.
Commissioner of Fish and Game Par
sons sent his best men into that Sec
ton Of the State to direct the search.
They found no trace of q canoe or a
skiff. In fact it would be a difflcult
thing to find skiff--if by that is
meant a craft other than q canoe-on
the north branch at any time when
legs were not being driven, and they
drive logs in early spring, not late
fall. If the men had been in a wa
ter craft Of any kind and the acct
dent occurred as suggested. the craft
would have been found sometime this
spring during the food waters. as
were the bodies. OF course the craft
might have sunk and been. caught on
the bottom Of the stream so secure
ly that the freshet Of last week could
not bulge it. This, however, is
doubted.
johnson had Both Books
The note books carried by the two
men were in Johnson's pocket. The
officers do not understand why he
should have had possession Of
Browns book as well as his own.
Neither of the note books throw
much light on the tragedy. About
the only value they have been is to
establish beyond much question that
the two wardens died before the
night of November IA. The last en-
try in the books is dated Nov. 49,,
and details work Of the day. Ac-
cording to Commissioner Parsons it
is the custom of wardcns to enter up
the work of the day at night.
This last entry makes clear that it
was made on the night of the 18th
OF November at Loon Stream Camps.
