BOTH HOUSES PASS
ARBORETUM BILL
Conference Report on Meas
ure Adopted - Carries
$500, 900 Appropriation.

The House and Senate, by individual
action. concurrently agreed today on
the national orboretum bill by adopt.
ing the conference report.
Shortly afterward the bill was
signed by the President.
The bill provides for the Department
of Agriculture to purchase a site in
the National Capital on which will be
developed national arboretum as a
great outdoor scientific laboratory for
the Department of Agriculture.
100000 Authorized.
The intention of the legislation is
that, If possible, what is known as
the Mount Hamilton tract at the east
ern entrance to the Capital shall be
secured, comprising approximately
400 acres adjacent to an even larger
area already owned by the Govern
ment.
AS passed, the bill carries an
authorization for appropriation of
$500 900 and strikes from the language
Of the bill a provision making this
tract available for park and recreation
facilities.
This is done in order that the con-
troll over the area may be exclusively
in the hands Of the Department OF
Agriculture so as to protect its scien-
tific work.
House Plan Modified.
A House amendment putting the
limitation of 25 per cent in excess or
assessed value against the purchase of
the site for the arboretum was modi-
fed in the Senate SO that the rs per
cent limit will apply on individual
parcels of land instead of upon the
Nract as a whole and will not apply
upon any portion against which con-
demnation proceedings are instituted.

u. S. DENIES TELLEz
RECALL WAS ASKED
Ambassadors Sudden De.
parture Adds to Mystery.
Secrecy Kept Up on Notes.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
An official denial by the State De
partment today that the American
Government had demanded the recall
of Ambassador Manuel C. Teller OF
Mexico deepened the mystery sur
rounding his sudden departure from
Washington last night for Mexico
City, and still, further enshrouded in
secrecy the circumstances surround
ing the notes exchanged recently be
tween the two governments.
The movements of Teller, who left
unheralded. were a mystery even tc
Acting Secretary Grew, It was insisted
at the State Department. The official
statement by Mr.. Grew said that the
Washington Government had no In
formation concerning the purpose Of
the Ambassador visit to Mexico City
Denial by State Department.
Mr.. Crews statement follows:
"The report that the Mexican Am
bassador's recall has been demanded
by the United States Is without foun
dation and this Government has nc
information concerning the purpose
of his visit to Mexico City"
There were intimations but M
authorized statements at the State
Department that the notes did MOI
concern alleged propaganda activities
of the embassy, but there was no de
NAL that such activities had beer
under discussion at some recent date
Aside from this, the blank wall Of
official secrecy surrounding the mys
terry notes continued to resist sue
cessfully the bombardment OF rumoi
and conjecture to which 1t has beer
subjected, both here and in Mexico
City. Embassy officials have addee
to the smoke screen by implying thai
they do not know what notes are in
volved and that many notes are ex
changed with the State Department
almost daily.
Reticent About Leaks.
The department Is equally reticent
as to suspicious 1t may have of leaks
in it's machinery through which con
fidential information may have
reached unauthorized hands. If those
suspicious, recently indicated in g
number of minor ways, are involved
in the mystery notes or the unex
planned Teller expedition, nobody at
the State Department IS willing tt
admit it.
The Mexican foreign office said there
was no foundation for rllmors of Tel
lez's recall. Undersecretary Estrada
at Mexico City said
THE foreign Office does not know
the source of such reports, which are
considered without foundation. The
foreign office has not received any
such notification"

EDWARDS PROTEST
TO CONSOLIDATION

m cur issue of last week we gave
notice to our readers Of the publish
ing Of the proposed consolidation OF
the Northern Pacific and Great Nor
thern railways An able man, Frank
j. Edwards, former mayor Of Hell
ena has taken stand against the
proposed consolidation and in the
following article gives reasons for
the protests:
ne: Proposed Consolidation OF Nor
thern Pacific and Great Northern
Railways. PROTEST by Frank j.
Edwards, Helena, Montana.
Interstate Commerce Comm,
Washington, D g.
Gen amen:
Having observed the activities of
the merger promoters, and having
perused the plan as it appears in
print ID form for submission to the
stockholders Of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railways, !
feel. from general knowledge, that
ii should be my privilege, if not q
public duty, to enter formal protest
Tor consideration by your Honorable
Commission.
The reasons in justification Of your
denial OF the petition of the promot-
ers Of this proposed merger IS an
outerowth Of conditions circum-
stances. or requirements involving
public convenience or necessity.
Q. This is plan to create a great
er institution by merging smaller
ones: yet the proposal does not state
that there is an excess of efficiency
in the present business manage
ment
8. The Constitution of many
states. including Montana, provides
; that no bonds or stock shall be Isl
sued by any corporation, except for
labor done, service performed, and
money and property actually receiv-
ed. The proposed scheme Of consoi-
idation will designedly prepare the
wav for further and additional abus-
es or such basic law, by the issuance
OF additional fictitious obligations.
4. In the consideration Of any
scheme or plan of railway merger
the Interstate Commerce Ccmmiss-
ion should require detailed state-
ments showing the advantages to be
derived, and the proportionate share
which the public is to enjoy.
5. Consolidation of railroad sys-

be encouraged or permitted until
such time as the valuations Of rail
road properties are more accurately
appraised. The present valuations
are heavily inflated and tend to de-
