MEXICO CITY, June 23.-(By As- aociated Press.)-President Obregon is considering the first half of a rentleman's agreement between Mex leo and tho United States. looking to tho settlement of the agrarian and petroleum question. The agreement has been drawn up by the recogni- ton conference.
 At today's session of tho confer ence, the second half of the agree mont, looking to the settlement of the axrarian problem, was discussed and at tho conclusion of the deliber- ations Charles B. Warren and John Barton Payne, the American dele gates, declared good progress was made.
 Under the agreement. which super sedes the treaty of commerce and amity first suggested, Mexico pledges upon herself her national honor of carrying out the guarantee which tho United States deems neces- sary before granting recognition of the Obregon government
 Knowledge that gentleman's agreement had been chosen by the guarantees for American property rights in Mexico comes as sur prise, since no hint had been given as to tho method tho United States would consider adequate for the pro- tection of its petroleum and agra rian properties.
 It is announced. that until the pe- troleum section of the agreement, which President Obregon has under clauses. which tho conference Is framing, are complete and approved, tho details of tho undertaking will not be made public.

Matched His S750 Against Their Experience
 And Lost

BOSTON, June 23.-When Edward Vernon gets back to Main street he can tell the boys in the grocery store that big Boston policeman saved his money for him.
 Ed stepped off the train at North Station at peace with the world. He had his life's savings of s75o. in his pocket and he was out fer a good time.
 Up stepped two "city sliclkers."
 Hello, John. I haven't seen you for a long time" they exclaimed in unison, extending their hands.
 Ed didn't recognize them, but they seemed pretty good fellows, so he "buddied" right in with them.
 After a short acquaintance, the strangers suggested they'd like to match Ed for a little money. Ed was agreeable and his two friends proceeded to take him.
 When most of the yellowbacks had been transferred from Eds pocket to his friends, up stepped big blue coat and arrested the men.
 The two slick strangers were hur- red to a police station, where it was found that both had long records as confidence men.

FRENCH COMMUNISTS
 IN JEALOUS RIOTS
Traditional Antipathy Is Shown
 Against AristOcracy

PARIS, June 23.-The traditional antipathy of the French proletariat for aristocracy in frills was noisily eXemplified by a communist mob sat urdaY night in the Place de L'Opera.
 In scene reminiscent of the out bursts in the 1790's, lovely women In sheer, bejeweled gowns and men In evening attire were jeered and taunted as they headed for the grand priX ball a the opera. A tattered. overwarm and grimy group of com munists threatened for time to break up the party.
 Earlier the same mob had tied In knots the long columns of traffic bringing fashionable society back from the Longchamps races.
 Then the gendarmes arrived in force, and threw a cordon of 500 stalwart policemen around the opera. All traffic was stopped until the guests were able to get through, and the ball began.
 Numerous communists were in- iured in incidental riots up and down the grand boulevards. and at one time clash occurred in which police and municipal guards, armed with rifles, participated.
 A group of communists attempted to stage a emonstration in front or the offices of the roXalist newspaper. IIAuction F'rancaise. They were driven away up the boulevard, where they scattered sidewalk drinkers at spindly- gged iron tables In front or the Cafe Napolitain. Tables and chairs We're overturned as their occupants fled indoors. Shopkeepers hastily closed up.

PLAY PRACTICAL JOKE ON VOLSTEAD CHASERS
Seven Hundred Bottles Of Tea
 Seized At New Orleans

NEW ORLEANS, June 23. - Mem bers of the crew of the German ship Enfield injected humor in American prohibition enforcement today by playing a practical Volstead joke on Uncle Sam.
 Learning that discharged COOK had tipped off federal authorities that a large quantity of contraband liquor was aboard the vessel, mem bers of the crew obtained bottles which they filled with tea and con- cealed among the boxes of toys. in flour barrels and miscellaneous freight in the ships hold.
 Late today group Of prohibi- tion officers boarded the ship docked here and confiscated TOO bottles which they believe contains intoxi- eating liquor. The alleged contra band was taken to the custom house where it was stored with other con- fiscated liquor.
 Chemists will examine the con- tents of the bottles Monday.
 Captain A. Hollern, commander of the ship. says there may be 8 few bottles of real whisky among those seized, but he doubts that, as he made a search of the ships hold before entering the three-milG limit and found no contraband.

BRITISH SEAMEN:. MAY BE REMOVED. r R | M LEV|ATHAN
English In Crew Will Be Asked To Quit When
 Liner Docks
CONFISCATION OF LIQUOR CAUSE FOR SUCH ACTION
Claimed That English Sailors Left Their Ships In Amer
 iCa To Go On Liner
By RALPH H. TURNER (By Leased Wire to AGe-Herald)

LONDON, June 23.-British author ities may remove British seamen from the American liner Leviathan when she arrives at Liverpool as re- prisal for seizure of liquor on Brit ish liners at New York.
 This hint was dropped Saturday as British shipping officials scanned the cables from tho United States describing how American customs Baltic and removed her surplus liquor stores.
 No governmental confirmation could be obtained of this plan, how ever. It was still merely embryonic in the minds of shippers. who feel by the American dry rulings.
 It was pointed out that 80 per cent of the crew of the Leviathan is either British or German. Tho Brit ish sailors are alleged to have left their ships in New York to enlist on possibility that immigration inspec- tors might go on the big liner when she reaches Southampton and force these seamen to return to the vessels on which they were previously em- ployed.
 Quick Decision Expected.
 British ship owners expect . quick decision from the United States gov- ernment on the test cases now being presented to Washington by tho Bal tic, Berengaria and other merchant mon which are carrying liquor inside the three mile limit in violation of American law.
 If Washington finally overrules the protests of British shippers and holds that foreign vessels may not carry return stocks. even though sealed and not intended for use until the vessels have passed beyond the three-mile limit en voyage home, steps will be taken to devise other means of securing such beverages for the eastward trip.
 One way, 1t was suggested. would be to have the liners stop at Cana dian port Another would be for the owners to have liquor carriers sta. toned outside American territorial waters ready to replenish tho ships deboards-floating store houses. When this was first discussed sev- eral weeks ago the shippers dis missed the idea as fantastic. but now tlat other means have failed they may be forced to choose between this method and bone-dry ships.

BERLIN. June 2S.-American club women arc polite to lecturers, but are terribly misinformed about world events.
 This impression was still vivid in the mind of ex-Premier LerchenfHld of Bavaria, who returned Saturday from a lecture tour in America.
 They think that Stinnes alone could pay Germany's war debt," Ter chenfeld related.
 "They believe that Stinnes ought to be made to feed all German chil- dren. and that most of our money is hidden abroad.
 "They are all right, but they are badly in need of few new thoughts.
 Only in Omaha. the premier found. were the ladies so impolite that they called off his lecture.
