BELGIUM PAYS
LAST TRIBUTES
TO CARDINAL
IL: Dispatch A. I. Wirel


BRUSSELS Jan. 28.-Belgium paid
tribute today to Cardinal MERCER,
primate of Belgium and Archbishop
of Malines. King and peasant
marched humbly afoot in the cortege
that carried all that was mortal Of
the beloved prelate through crepe
darkened streets to the great metro
politan cathedral of Ste. Gudule,
where in a great national service
they testified to the love and vener-
alton they hold for him.
1t was a ceremony of pomp and
solemn grandeur, but one in which
even the lowliest of the Belgians
had a part Two hundred thousand
Belgians lined the funeral route and
bowed as the plain oaken coffin, sur
mounted with it's simple mitre of
gold, was carried to the cathedral.
And they still lined the way when,
few hours later, without military cir
cumstance, it was borne back to the
north station, to be taken to Malines
where tomorrow the Catholic church
will hold the last rites and consign
the body to the crypt in ST. Rom
baut cathedral

resumed her way to Cherbourg to-
night with tho whole crew of %
men from the battered and helpless
British freighter Antinoe aboard.
Their rescue was the seamen's vic
tory. A few hundred miles to the
north and west, bits Of wreckage on
the still turbulent Atlantic gave evil
dence of the battle the sea won.
They are all that is left of the Lar
istan, also British freighter, which
went down with her captain and %
men.
The Roosevelt completed her victory
early this morning by the light of a
moon which came out propitiously
during a, brief lull in the 90-mile

MEN In
QUANDRY AS TO
MEXICAN Law

Local mining men who have been
greatly interested in published re-
ports, sent out from Ell Paso, stating
that President Gales of Mexico had
issued a decree setting, aside the reg
ulation prohibiting foreigners from
owning property within 100 kilome-
ters of the frontier are still undecid-
ed as to just what their status is.
The recently published statement was
regarded by some Douglasites with
skepticism. Alfred Paul declares that
he could see no reason for the Mexi-
can government not announcing the
matter officially, if it be official.
Officials of the Cananea Copper
company expressed doubt as to the
authenticity of the report. b. r.
Russell, of the Nacozari Consolidated
Copper company expressed belief that
the order and the news thereof might
be official. Wide circulation of the
reports as published in the Dispatch
was given throughout the American
mining men in the southern republic.
Now comes word from Tucson that
mining men in Mexico have seen the
decree, signed, sealed and attested.

TUCSON, Jan. 28.-American min

which have local connections, are in
a quandary as the result of the re-
ceipt of press dispatches from Mexico
City denying that President Gales
has issued a decree revoking the pro-
hibition against the acquisition of
mining property in the hundred kilo-
meter zone along the border, though
mining men in various sections of the
lower republic have seen the decree,
duly signed, sealed and attested.
The first intimation here that such
decree had reached the government
mining agents of Mexico, came from
M. A. Perkins on his return from
Sonora, where he has tungsten prop
critics. He declares that he has been
assured of the genuineness of the
decree by Mining Agent G. L. Esco-

the document, bearing the signature
of President Gales had been received
by him on the night of January 13.
