MEXICO issues
RULES AGAINST
UNDESIRABLES
Stringent Regula tions
Do Not Affect Desir-
able American Citi-
zens-Vasquez

Mexico has decided to Tighten the
gate" and hold out part of the human
driftwood which has been going into
that country since the days Of revolu-
tion, more than a decade ago.
This information is contained in a
communication from the foreign office
in Mexico City to Mexican Consul A. c.
Vasquez of Brownsville, announcing
stringent rules and regulations govern
ing entry into Mexico.
The general tenor of the new regula-
as the past regulations have been, at
the same time imposing rigid rules for
the guidance of Mexican consuls along
the border in holding back persons who
would probably be undesirables in Mex
leo.
The first provision contained in the
new set of regulations is that Americans
entering Mexico from foreign country
do not have to pay for a visa, as has
been the practice in the past. Amer
leans who enter Mexico from this coun-
try do not have to have a passport,
and this provision was made in order
that 1T will not be necessary for Amer
leans to incur unusual expense in gonig
from some other country into Mexico.
The second provision of the instruc-
tions to Mexican consuls is that these
fficials will be required to exercise the
greatest care in examining the pass
ports of foreigners entering Mexico
through the United States.
Foreigners who come to Brownsville
and other border points for the pur-
pose of entering Mexico must show a
passport that is genuine, and if this
paper is old, must bear other evidence
of identity, and of the authenticity of
the passport.
All couples, whether American or
foreign, going into the interior of
Mexico through any border point must
show certificate of marriage, accord
ing to these regulations. This certifl-
cate of marriage, according to these
regulations. This certificate must be
presented at the office Of the Mexican
consul before the parties in question

waste in letting highway contracts by
the state highway commissioners de-
veloped into open charges and demands
so insistent for legislative probe that
Governor ma" Ferguson Saturday
broke two months official silence only
to disapprove of the idea Of special
session. Furthermore she advised the
malcontents to take their whispering"
before grand jury and thus save the
taxpayers the enormous expense Of
special legislature.
The woman executive, wife of Former
Governor James E. Ferguson, recently
cha rged with dominating the state high
way commission, declared she would
summarily remove any state official
proved in default of duty.
The decision of Mr.. Satterwhite to
call special session announced last
night is susceptible of a more far reach
ing Interpretation in the light of an ex-
preston late yesterday by Representa-
tive Ben F. Foster of Del Rio. Mr.. Fos-
ter, in response to The Associated Press
special session query declared himself
Of the opinion that the governor, "and
only The BOFeIHOI GdH Tall SpCCldi
session of the Legislature, except in case
Of impeachment proceedings against
her."
There has been no hint of possible
impeachment proceedings, and it is a
matter of conjecture here whether
Speaker Satterwhite's Washington state
ment was made in cognizance Of that
possible Interpretation.
Members Of he highway commission,
the three of whom are said to be close
friends of the governors husband, have
expressed Willingness to submit to any
manner of investigation of their depart
ment
Secondary to the highway question is
that Of whether the governor can bor-
row money to fight the foot and mouth
disease so prevalent recently, and is sue
deficiency warrants to cover the amount.
Former Governor Ferguson already has
negotiated for loan of S350,000 for the
work, and has the opinion of the at
torney general department that the
transaction can be completed legally
with the issuance Of the warrants, and
without legislative approval. The mat
tei Of the loan is hanging fire, however,
with bankers undetermined whether
they would complete the transaction.
Mr.. Ferguson, however, was to meet
today with representatives of the loan
group and attempt to close the deal.

TO START Rail
Line IN MEXICO
Short Road will Con-
meet Tarnpico and
Mexico City

Construction work is expected to be
started early next week on the short
line railway from Tampico to Mexico
City, a distance of approximately 325
miles this. road having been started in
1910, and abandoned when the revolu-
tions broke out.
The statement that the road will be
started again, and carried to completion
was made by Adalberto r. Mendoza,
terminal superintendent of the, railroad
yards in Tampico, on his return to that
city recently from Mexico City.
The road from Tampico to Matamoros
will be continuation Of the plans Of
the railroads which were begun in 1912.
Part of the road was built from Mexico
City to Honey, station north of Pa
chuca in the state of Hidalgo, and from
Tampico a short distance south.
Work will be started at both ends of
the line, at Honey and Tamos. The
bridge over the Panuco river which was
doned due to the revolution will be
finished as quickly as possible. Con
struction material for this bridge is now
at San Luis Potosi and will be forward
ed to Tampico as soon as possible.
1t is expected that it will be three
years before the entire road is ready
for use, but sections of it will be put
into serviceas rapidly as they are COM
pleted.
The short line will make the distance
by rail to Mexico City but 325 miles, as
against COS miles as it is now travelling
by way of San Luis Potosi and the
journey can be made in II hours.
The short line railroad will traverse
the rich Huasteca section which is
thickly populated and contains some OF
the most fertile agricultural lands in
Mexico. 1t will open up to transporta-
tion this exceptionally rich country, and
be the means of bringing great areas
of land under more extensive cultiva-
ticn than is possible without the rail
road transportation.
1t is understood that plans are or
foot to build another railroad, one
branch Of which will connect Tampicc
with Tuxpam and Veracruz and another
branch of which will run from Tuxpan
to Mexico City.
The new short line will give a direct
route between T.ampico and the inter
Tor.
