ment, Sinclair has asked the United

lists who come to Mexico in groups do
not need any individual documents, a

sufficient, and they are not even re-
quired to furnish statistical data"
Juan Marshall, Mexican consul at
Douglas, has received several orders
modifying the terms of the new law in
some particulars AS concerns tourists,
the law requires those who come alone,
or with relatives, to have special pa
pers required by the law. Tourists
who come in groups must from among
themselves select a chief, who will see
the Mexican consul and provide him
self with a list of every member of the
party and the data concerning each.
Four copies of this list mus be pro-
vded, one being retained by the MeXi-
can consul from whom issued, another
retained by the chief of the tourist
party, another retained by the immi-
grafton office through which the party
enters Mexico, and the fourth being re-
tanned by the immigration office at
the point of departure.

bracing the Hills roads, the Great

combined capital is more than ST.

Arthur Curtiss James, director of
the Great Northern, and the largest
holder of railroad securities
in the country, indicated this today IN
dispatches received in the financial
district He was quoted as saying
that the eventual extension of the
northwest lines into California was
James j. Hills dream and that rail-
road builders dreams generally came
true.
James was quoted as saying such q
merger is "the most logical thing TO
do since it will leave the Northwest
with two great transcontinental sys-
tems-the Consolidated Northerns ana
the st. Paul"
The Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern control the Chicago, Bur
l!ngton and Quincy through owner
ship Of about 81 per cent of the lat
ters capital stock. Thus, the paper
says the merger is a natural develop
ment from a corporate angle.

TOURIST TRAVEL TO
MEXICO HAMPERED BY
NEW LANINIGRATIOK LAW
Especial to The Dispatch)

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 9.-Revenue of
the National Railways of Mexico from
international passenger service, princi-
pally tourist travel, has fallen off so
per cent since the new Immigration
law went INFO effect on November /,
according to official figures of the
railway company. Mariana Cabrera,
general manager of the railways, has
been conferring with Secretary of State
Adalberto Tejada in an effort to rem
edy this situation, and has secured
some concessions which are expected
to do away with some of the objec-
tionable features of the law as applied
to tourists.
Because of the falling off in travel
the direct sleeping; car service between
Houston, Texas, and Mexico City has
been discontinued. The railway Off
cials state that if the decrease con-
tinues the direct cars between Mexico
City and Ell Paso and San Antonio
will also be taken off. One of the prin-
cipal complaints came from Ciudad
Juarez, where it is claimed that pas
sengers have to go to immigration
headquarters in the center of the city
for inspection of their papers and
other legal requirements This re-
quired the taking of their baggage
from the trains.
AS a result of the recent conferences,
Secretary Tejada has directed that inn
migration inspection be made in build
ings specially erected for that purpose
by the National railways close to the
tracks 1t is reported that at Nuevo
Laredo, inspectors recently took three
and one-half hours to inspect 80 pas
sengers. Another complaint of passen-
gers is on the requirement that their
vaccination certificates be given a visa
by the Mexican consul nearest to their
point of departure. Where there We're
no Mexican consuls this aften involved
inconvenience and expense. Orders
have since been issued by the, bureau
of public health that the sanitary in
spectors at the border may accept as
valid vaccination certificates issued by
the local health officers and vouched
for by the city clerk of the place
where issued.

tire trouble has resulted from errone-

Fall arrived here yesterday to face
the court after a battle extending over

the trial of the case is not set down
until November %.
Doheny and Fall will enter pleas of

raigned before Justice Hoehling. The
reading of the voluminous indictment
probably will be dispensed with by
agreement between counsel for the
government and the defendants.
Besides this Indictment, there is an
other in which Fall and Doheny and
the oil mans son, Edward L. Doheny,
Jr., are charged with bribery in con-
tracts between the government and Do
heny's companies were being negoti-
ated.
