 Tho real fireworks, however, came at the public session in the high school auditorium at night. Kooters young and old, were there from all four towns, and others beside.
 It WAS the spelling bee that pleased them most. ana taxed the ingenuity of the contestants hardest. "Nantadoupo' Was the word that ripped most Of thon although real stirkers were plentiful.

CLAIMS BOARD lS
 UNABLE ID AGREE
MeXiCan-U. s. Commission Breaks Up Without Decision

Mexico City, March (p,--Thc breakup of the special claims com- mission called to consider repara- ton for the killing of Is American mining engineers in the state of Chihuahua in January, 1916, has aroused intense interest in both Mexican and American circles here,
 Official comment is withheld, un- til the two governments have had an opportunity to review the situa- ton and determine upon the course 10 be pursued. The Mexican dele gate, Fornandezn Gonzales Roa, conferred with President Gales at Chapultepec castle until an early hour this morning,
 The American delegate, Judge Ernest D. Perry, is leaving today for his home in Lincoln, Neb., and the neutral judge Dr. Ridrigo Oc- tavio of Brazil is sailing for Havana. The poor state of Cr. Octavio's g health was given as the reason for the breakup of the conference, but thc actual reason Is said to have been the complete failure of the commission to agree upon the dam ages for the massacre claimed by the American government.
 Judge Perry late last night re- vealcd that Dr. Octa|io had pre- pared written opinion sustaining the Mexican view, from which he, as the American delegate, dissentod.
 Judge Perry made public his written opinion, maintaining that revolutionists and not bandits mas sacred the Americans. and that Mexico is therefore liable for dam ages. Dr. Octavio held the opposite view, The opinions do not consti- ute q decision. Because it was necessary for the two members, American and Mexican, to agree upon any decision.
 The convention agreement re- 1uir's the commission 10 apply principals of equity in it's decision" Judge Perry wrote, "The opinion of Dr. Octavio, instead of applying principles of equity. attempts to re- ljcve Mexico Of an obligation which it legally and morally bound itself to.
 "I therefore conclude that the re- usal Of Dr. Octnvio to render the award as demanded by the United States under the facts of this case amounts to notification of the con- vontion agreement, and l dissent from his opinion."
