Prosecutor John F. Toolan at.
tributed the plot to an attempt on
the part of Miss Morse to secure the

in her.
Detectives as Desperadoes.
The maid appeared as a witness be-
fore the grand jury and was said to
have retold a confession made at the
time of her arrest. Other witnesses
included George David and John
Kruger, detectives, who posed as
desperadoes and who alleged they
were paid 1900 by the negress as an
advance on $4,000 for annihilating the
Dey family with a bomb.
Authorities charged that the maid
received the money from Miss Morse,
but the spinster and her father claim
she could have easily saved that sum
from the wages paid during her -
years in their employ.

IWhots WASHINGTON
Changes in Mexico
Since Land Revolt
Told by the Embassy
(By Staff Correspondentl

WASHINGTON, April ia
graphic picture Of what the land
revolution in Mexico has meant to
the people Of the Central American
Republic il presented in. the formal
figures Of report issued by the Mex
lean embassy on the findings Of a
study Of agriculture in Mexico.
The facts show that the breakup
Of the once huge landed estates and
the return Of the land to the people,
and the liberalization Of the maases
from the yokes Of psonage and serf-
dom in the past few years has not
only materially increased the quantity
Of agricultural production, but that
modernization is entering into the
field Of farming. This is of the
greatest importance when it is re-
menbered that agriculture is by far
Mexico'D greatest industry.
Heavy Increases.
Compared with the average annual
production that obtained from 1906 TO
1910, the last years Of the Diaz
tyranny, the average annual crops
harvested from 1928 to 1926 show not
only heavy increases in production,
but that the trend is away from the
extensive cultivation Of a few food
crops, such as corn, wheat and beans,
and more and more attention and eff
fort is being paid to the modern
method Of diversified farming.
During the years 1923 to 1926
heavy increases of production took
place in ten of the most important
products; chick-peas, coffee, cotton,
potatoes, beans, rice, sisal, sugar to-
bacco, tomatoes, bananas. The in
crease in production of these crops,
figuring the prices at the lowest car
load rates, amounted to S51 ,64l ,230,
Mexican pesos.
False Statements
There has of late been much propa-
ganda disseminated by intervention
lists that Mexico has been compelled
to import corn, wheat and beans from
the United States. The implied in
ference was that the breakup of the
huge estates has resulted in losses in
production. This is unqualifiedly
false. The drops in production Of
corn, wheat and beans this year have
been due to the devastating floods
that have laid Southern Mexico, par
ticularly the rich Guanajuato fields,
in ruins. The importations that have
resulted, despite the tremendous losses
have amounted to only Ia per cent
Of the present average production of
corn, wheat and beans, respectively.
Not New.
These floods are no new experience.
The Mexican Year Book published in
1909 under the direction OF Diaz de
voted much attention to the losses
from inadequate irrigation facilities.
The report points out that there are
under way great irrigation and flood
control projects, whose completion
within few years viii put an end
to the recurring destruction.

lie does this in an article published
in the National University Law Re-
view, just issued.
"Onc Of the most remarkable chap
tQrs Of the constitutional history Of
the United States" says Putney, has
been the gradual passing Of the war
making power, at least insofar as
war can be made with the military
and naval forces already existing,
from the hands of the legislative de-
partment of the government to those
Of the executive. One Of the most
important questions which today con-
fronts the citizens Of the United
States, one which must affect their
future to an extent which is only just
beginning to be appreciated, is
whether such transfer of power must
be accepted as permanent"

sage to Congress in which the policy
was declared of using the navy and
army to preservation and protection
of the lives, property and interest of
American citizens and of this Gov

Putney says Coolidge has brought the
question squarely to an issue.
'It is, in effect" he says, "here

his opinion appears to affect the lives,

'In the determination Of the con

Mexico and Nicaragua, towards Santo
Domingo and Haiti, has acted in the
role of a disinterested philanthropist
or in that of a self-interested ex-
ploiter. The construction Of the
United States constitution cannot be
affected by such questions as whether
Mexico is endeavoring unjustly to
confiscate American-owned property,
or whether the United States is en-
deavoring to collect by threats or
force claims against Mexico which,
in the minds Of the claimants, are so
dubious that they cannot safely be
submitted to arbitration; whether
Gales is destroying religious liberty,
or whether he is upholding religious

Tire Conservation Does
Not Mean Big Repairing


Shabby tires on a good looking car
Yet stand on any street corner today
and count the number of patched-up,
dilapidated tires which are being. used
to the last mile. The cost of keeping
these tires running for few thou
sand miles Mould nearly pay for new
ones. Mileage such as this comes
high.
Tire conservation does not mean
picking up decrepit tire and putting
1t back into service at a big repair
cost just to save little rubber left
in the tread. 1t means taking care of
the tire from the first so that it will
be able to deliver. all the mileage.
built into it by the maker When
tires are so far worn that they are
soon to blow, it is poor economy to
repair them. Such a course means
sacrifice of the inner tube as we'll.
Cheap, makeshift patches, boots and
temporary repairs of all kinds are
now being called into use, as never
before, but patching up an old casing
in which separation of fabric plies
has already begun, cannot give the
freedom from tire trouble on which
the pleasure in motoring SO largely
depends.

"The Old Lady of Threadneedle

the answers in an article on the archi

was the banks first home; but a
quick move was made to the Grocer's
hall, In Poultry, and it was not until
1852 that the foundation stone of the
present bank was laid. George Samp-
son was the first architect, and it is
curious that no building, other than
the bank, can be attributed to his
