KELLOGG AND OIL
KINGS" SCHEME
MEXICAN REVOLT
Rebels Admit Aid From
u. S. organizations"

WASHINGTON, June 2.-ThAt
American business men are plotting
the overthrow of the Gales Govern
ment in Mexico and that they are re-
ceiving the unqualified support Of the
State Department was clearly indi-
Gated today with the publication of a
manifesto by Rene Capastran Gurza,
notorious rebel, and disclosures made
in a Mexican presidential decree for
bidding any department Of the Mexi-
can Government to purchase goods in
the United States.
In announcing the failure of his re-
bellion, Gurza declares that funds
which were to have been forthcoming
from an American organization have
not been furnished" It has long been
known that certain religious organi-
cations and more especially certain oil
barons have been planning to subsi-
die revolt against the Gales Gov
eminent.
That the State Department has been
lending its support to these plans is
clearly brought out by its refusal to
permit the sale of American arms and
munitions to the Mexican Govern
ment which needed them to suppress
religious" revolts supported and sub
sidized by American oil interests, po-
litical observers in close touch with
the situation state. The State De-
partment has also refused to permit
the Mexican Government to import 8
commercial airplanes, it was learned.
Mexican Government Boycotts U. S.
Pointing out the serious injuries
to Mexico resulting from the policy
of the State Department, President
Gales issued the following decree
Monday:
In view of the fact that the Gov
eminent Of the United States Of Amer
lea has established systematic en-
barge on merchandise acquired by
various dependencies Of the Federal
Government, a procedure whereby
serious injuries are caused in the adj
ministrative conduct of said depend
encies, since even now many of the
articles already bought have not been
received, the Executive in my name
has decided to direct, in order to avoid
the inconvenience caused by this I'M
justified delay, that from the date of
the present decree all departments of
State and administrative departments
abstain absolutely from purchasing
directly or indirectly in the said coun-
try furniture, machinery, articles Of
consumption and articles in general
intended for the administration Of the
public services and that such pur-
chases be made in all cases from COM
mercial firms established within the
national territory.
For this purpose the Department of
Foreign Relations will Immediately
issue definite orders to the Embassy
and Consulates of the republic In the
United States so that they may on no
account make payment in contraven-
ton Of the orders herein contained,
and the Department Of Finance and
Public Credit will issue orders in the
same sense to the financial agency of
Mexico in New York.

Consul Who Had the
Goods on Kellogg
Goes Into Business

WASHINGTON, June (FP).-
Lawrence Dennis, former consul in
Nicaragua, has resigned from the
United States foreign service to go
into business in New York. he gays
he will make more money in private
life.
The general commentary among
those connected with official Wash
ington life is that the ex-consul is
very likely correct. And it is con-
sidered extremely probable that he
will find, in his private life, every
effort made by certain public men
connected with foreign affairs of the
United States to aid and assist him
to the limit.
Had The Drop On Kellogg.
The point is, that Dennis created a
hullabuloo in Kellogg's office not so
very long ago, by suddenly leaving
his post in Nicaragua and sailing for
the good old U. S. A., preceded by a
warning that he had in his possession
letters showing Kellogg directly in
volved in the internal affairs Of Mica
ragua. The latter is now a mere pro-
tectorate of the U. S., but then it was
an independent country, with which
Kellogg kept up a pretense of friend
ship. The documents Dennis had are
said to have shown Kellogg in the
act Of creating a conservative reac-
tionary revolt against the liberal con-
stituted authorities.
Nervous Nell Sickens.
When he neared Washington, Kel-
logg became very sick, and went off
on a vacation. Somebody else talked
to Dennis, and now he is "going into
business" without anything more
heard Of the documents.
Dennis, before his decision to be
silent, said quite lot also about the
favoritism in the U. S. consular serv-
ice. In fact, he published letter on
it.
Promoting The Rich.
The issue raised by Dennis was
that consular officers were kept in
low-paid and dangerous posts in the
mosquito belt" and in other difficult
places, while younger men who had
money and social pull were sent to
European capitals to live a gay and
idle life among tearooms and dance
parlors. These career men" of the
diplomatic branch were pictured, by
Dennis and by other consuls who did
not permit their names to be used,
as being slavishly devoted to British
models in manner, speech and dress,
and with being greedy for big salaries
and no work.
Crisis Over.
When the Dennis letter was quoted
in the press, Undersecretary Grew
in the absence of Kellogg-issued a
brief but placatory statement in
which he said that Dennis letter had
included many suggestions which
might prove valuable, and that the
department would be glad to con-
slider and act upon them where pos
sible.
Now that a good business berth
has received Dennis, the crisis for the
the career men" in the diplomatic
branch is over until congress shall see
fit to investigate the charge that an
oligarchy in the department is ignor-
ing the Rogers law which placed the
diplomatic and consular officers on an
equal footing as regards promotion
and pay.
