it viii, in all probability, open the
door to considerable smuggling Of
rifles and war materials across
the border.
Blow to Gales
Recent press dispatches from
Mexico have emphasized the growth
and scope Of revolutionary activities
against the Gales government, and
the abrogation Of the treaty at this
time is distinctly q blow to the
Gales regime.
Withdrawal Is Due
The abrogation Of the treaty was
accompanied by reports that this
action presages the eventual lifting
OF the embargo on arms, but State
Department officials declined to
make any comment on this phase
Of 1t.
The treaty provided for an ex.
change OF information on all snug
Cling activities originating on either
side of the border. On these Amer.
lean tips Mexican border au.
thorities have been able to make
numerous big hauls, and to effec.
tually stop almost all arms and am.
munition.
This exchange Of information will
now cease, and 1t is probable that
scores OF American agents along
the border sent there after the treaty
was signed, will now be withdrawn.
Notice Served Hers
State Department officials de.
clined to go behind the formal an
nouncement, or to comment for pub.
lication upon the probable effect
of the step on the stability OF the
present Mexican government. There
was, however, no concealment of
the patent fact that it opens the
door to widespread smuggling along
the thousand-odd miles of border.
The notice of the treaty's abro-
cation was served on the Mexican
foreign office last night, it was
stated.

addition to the Pythian Sisters and Of
ficials of the order, to pay tribute to
the members Of the fraternity who
have answered the last roll call during
the past year and to the significance
of Flag day.
The entire program, which was wit
messed by large gathering, EN-
phasized the bond between fraternal-
ism and patriotism. William E. An
drews, former Representative from
Nebraska, the speaker of the evening,
linked the elements in the spirit OF
fraternalism with corresponding ele-
ments in a feeling of patriotism. He
pointed out the necessity of upholdlng
the flag and the teachings OF the
Christian Bible.
Mr.. Andrews stressed the point that
the bonds of fraternalism linking men
to q common order are applicable to
the bonds of patriotism uniting men in
common love and devotion to country.
The program of the evening in
cIuded formal ritualistic exercises and
the solemn reading of the names OF
members who died during the year.
Their lodge records were also mar
rated.

TREND IRREGULAR
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Efforts to Check Reaction
Only Partly Successful.
Serv-EI Notes Sag.
BY WILLIAM f. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 15.-Efforts to
check further reaction in the Curb
Market were only partly successful
today. Yesterdays heavy selling
movement, no doubt, had materially
strengthened the markets technical
structure. and when resistance was
displayed to selling pressure at the
outset today it encouraged the cover.
ing in of short contracts recently put
out. But after this buying had spent
itself. liquidation again made itself
felt.
Goodyear Tire. which has been per-
siStently pressed for sale during the
last two weeks, came back readily
once the covering movement got
under way. Expectations that Dun
hill International was to go on a reg
ular annual 81 dividend basis We're
realized when directors declared this
amount for the year ending April /,
1928, to be paid in quarterly install
ments. However, this action APP
parently had been fully discounted in
the recent sharp rise and the stock
was only slightly higher above 40 to-
day.
Financial and Industrial Securities
broke badly more than points. This,
however, did not take into considera-
ton the fact that it was selling eX the
regular 75-cent and extra 35-cent divi-
dends. Placing of General Fireproof-
ing on a regular annual IS dividend
basis against the previous 81 was
somewhat of a disappointment to
those who had been expecting a large
increase in annual distributions. Hav-
ing left off last week at 84B, the stock
changed hands after the announce
ment at 80.
Directors of the Prairie Pipe Line
Co. failed to crafty the expectations
of many by declaring only the regu-
lar quarterly $3.50. The best opinion
was, however, that if extra distribu-
tons are to be voted they will come
later in the year.
One Of the most drastic breaks oc-
Cured in the market for Serv-El Cor
poration's per cent notes. At 53h
they were at new low record, and
compared with the last previous sale
of So, which represented the former
low. At the same time the common
stock broke to new low ground be-
low 4.
Deere common felt the effect of
further profit-taking, and Celanese is
sues no longer We're in the favor ac-
corded them throughout the recent
campaign for higher prices.
